Signals
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 this dashboard.

Bitcoin Sharpe Signal
GET https://api.glassnode.com/v1/metrics/signals/btc_sharpe_signal
The Glassnode Bitcoin Sharpe signal uses a unique ML-based approach with on-chain data to strategically minimize downside risks and capture rising trends in Bitcoin. In the context of enhancing risk-adjusted returns, the model's confidence is visually represented, with green for the highest confidence and orange to red for reduced confidence. A surge beyond the 0.5 mark has historically been associated with improved risk-adjusted performance in Bitcoin. For more information on its interpretation and methodology see this dashboard.
The signal is refreshed daily at 04:00 AM UTC effectively finalizing the previous day's timestamp. Please note that the standard version of the signal includes a 1-day lag.

Ecosystem Momentum Signal
GET https://api.glassnode.com/v1/metrics/signals/ecosystem_momentum_index
The L1 Momentum Signal evaluates the propensity of a Layer 1 ecosystem to move into an exponential trend that can be either positive or negative. It can be used to evaluate the likelihood of a short-term exponential price momentum continuing and intensifying. The Signal is based on a proprietary statistical method that identifies whether the underlying distribution of an asset's returns has departed from its usual structure.
