Last updated 1 month ago

Altcoin Cycle Signal

GET https://api.glassnode.com/v1/metrics/signals/altcoin_index

The Altcoin Cycle Signal measures whether the market favors bitcoin versus all altcoins. During Bitcoin Season, bitcoin is likely to outperform the basket of all altcoins and during Altcoin Season this dynamic inverts. The signal is meant to be largely agnostic to which altcoins in particular an investor holds. The Altcoin Cycle Signal is based on price data of the top 250 altcoins by market capitalization (excluding stablecoins). This metric is updated daily at 10:15 UTC, providing us with the previous day's data point at this time.

For more information on its interpretation and methodology see .

Bitcoin Sharpe Signal Short

GET https://api.glassnode.com/v1/metrics/signals/btc_bss_short

The Bitcoin Sharpe Signal Short is a machine-learning-based strategy designed to anticipate market turmoil using on-chain data. The signal can help identify potential opportunities to short Bitcoin with reduced downside risk. The model's confidence is visually represented, with red for the highest confidence in market sell-off and yellow to green for reduced confidence. When the indicator surges beyond the 0.5 mark, it has historically been associated with imminent market downturns.
