Bitcoin, the whole picture.

Every Bitcoin measurement we capture each day — not a selection of it.

Where things stand

updated 3h ago

Bitcoin is 906 days past the 2024-04-20 halving. The three previous cycles topped 525-546 days after theirs, so this one is about 360 days beyond that window — a comparison across three episodes, which is a pattern and not a rule.

Price sits above its 200-day mean (+16.15%) and 87.9% of the way up its 1-year range.

Capital inside crypto is at the BTC to Large Alts stage: ETH/BTC bottoming and rising. SOL also outperforming BTC. Capital flowing to large-caps first.

BTCUSD has both sides staged at 74915.6 and 87373.8; the first break is the trade.

We don't publish a cycle phase — the models that would name one have not cleared their gates; nor this flow model's next-rotation picks, which are still unproven.

What this is

Every measurement we capture for Bitcoin, in full — valuation, holder behaviour, institutional flows, derivatives and the macro backdrop, on one clock. Nothing here is a forecast: these are levels, and where a popular reading of them exists we have usually tested it and found it wanting.

73 measurements published · 30 fields withheld (row identity, the vendor's own forecasts, and its cycle-phase labels — see below) · on-chain data as of 2026-10-12

Price & cost basis

What the market pays now, against what holders actually paid. Every level below is on-chain fact, not opinion.

Valuation ratios

The same question — cheap or expensive against history — asked eight different ways. We publish the levels; we do NOT publish the folklore readings, which we tested and found wanting.

Independent cross-check

The same metrics recomputed from a SECOND vendor (CoinMetrics), published beside the first. Two sources agreeing is evidence; one source is a claim.

What we do not publish, and why

This feed also carries the vendor’s own directional calls. We do not republish them, because we track how they score: 223 graded predictions, Brier 0.2787 against 0.2500 for a coin flip, predicting 60% confidence against a 45% realized hit rate. Every measurement above is published; their forecasts are not.

Levels, not advice. Where a popular reading of one of these metrics exists — “this means top”, “this means bottom” — we have generally tested it against a matched baseline and it did not survive; the number is a fact, the folklore is not.
