Signals
Definition. The Altcoin Cycle Signal measures whether the market favors bitcoin versus all altcoins. It is based on price data of the top 250 altcoins by market capitalization (excluding stablecoins) and is meant to be largely agnostic to which altcoins in particular an investor holds.\n\nTechnical. The metric is updated daily at 10:15 UTC, providing the previous day's data point at this time.\n\nInterpretation. During Bitcoin Season, bitcoin is likely to outperform the basket of all altcoins, during Altcoin Season this dynamic inverts.\n\nNotes. For more information on its interpretation and methodology, see this dashboard.\n

]Definition. Bitcoin Sharpe Signal is a machine-learning long-entry signal for BTC, trained on on-chain data with the design goal of minimizing downside risk while capturing rising trends and enhancing risk-adjusted returns.\n\nTechnical. The model output is a confidence score rendered as a color ramp, with green indicating the highest confidence and orange through red indicating reduced confidence. The signal is refreshed daily at 04:00 UTC, finalizing the previous day's timestamp. The standard version carries a one-day lag. Disclosed foundational inputs include Percent of Entities in Profit and Short Term Holder SOPR.\n\nInterpretation. Readings above 0.5 have historically been associated with improved risk-adjusted Bitcoin performance.\n\nNotes. For interpretation and methodology, see the signal dashboard. Enterprise clients interested in same-day data or the underlying methodology can contact the Institutional team.\n
