About This Dashboard
A Bitcoin market intelligence system that synthesizes 26 signals across macro, derivatives, on-chain, and cross-asset data into a single composite regime assessment. Designed for investors who want to understand the structural forces driving Bitcoin — not just the price.
The Signal Framework
The dashboard monitors 26 signals organized into four domains, each weighted by its explanatory power for Bitcoin price movements:
25%
Macro Regime
9 signals
35%
Market Structure
6 signals
25%
On-Chain
5 signals
15%
Cross-Asset & Technical
6 signals
Market Structure carries the highest weight (35%) because leverage dynamics and institutional flows are the proximate cause of most large price moves. Macro (25%) sets the backdrop — monetary policy, liquidity, and dollar strength. On-Chain (25%) reveals what participants are actually doing with their coins. Cross-Asset (15%) provides structural context through correlations and long-term technical levels.
The 26 Signals
Each signal tracks a specific force that influences Bitcoin. Click a domain to see its signals, what they measure, and the key threshold bands the scoring system uses.
Tracks the global macro environment that sets the backdrop for Bitcoin. Monetary policy, dollar strength, volatility regime, and liquidity conditions determine whether the tide lifts or sinks all risk assets. These signals move slowly but carry enormous weight — a hawkish Fed pivot or yen carry unwind can overwhelm any crypto-native catalyst.
USD/JPY
Yen carry trade stability indicator
Interest Rates
Fed policy direction and yield curve shape
DXY
US Dollar strength vs. major currencies
VIX
Market volatility and risk appetite gauge
Precious Metals
Gold/silver crash risk and collateral stress
Fed Balance Sheet
Federal Reserve balance sheet liquidity trend
Net Liquidity
Fed balance sheet minus TGA minus reverse repo (YoY %)
Real Yields (10Y TIPS)
10Y TIPS real yield — bond competition for BTC
M2 Money Supply
M2 money supply year-over-year growth rate
How Scoring Works
From Raw Data to Signal Score
Raw market data from nine different sources is fetched daily and transformed into a normalized score for each of the 26 signals. Rather than binary thresholds (bullish above X, bearish below), each signal uses continuous piecewise linear interpolation against empirically-derived breakpoints. This produces a smooth score from -100 (maximally bearish) to +100 (maximally bullish).
Certain signals apply modifiers after the base interpolation — for example, if VIX recently spiked above 35, the score is clamped even after VIX retreats. These modifiers capture regime persistence effects that a simple point-in-time reading would miss.

Each signal is converted to a continuous score between -100 (maximally bearish) and +100 (maximally bullish) using piecewise linear interpolation against empirically-derived breakpoints. This avoids the cliff edges of discrete thresholds — a VIX of 24.9 and 25.1 produce nearly identical scores, not a sudden regime change.
Domain scores are weighted averages of their constituent signal scores. The composite score is the weighted sum across all four domains. Finally, the composite score maps to one of five regimes that determine the overall market stance.
Meta-Regime & Framework Health
The composite regime tells you what the market environment looks like today. The meta-regime asks a deeper question: is the four-year Bitcoin cycle itself still intact? It measures the structural integrity of the framework by evaluating whether drawdowns, volatility, and key price floors remain within historical norms.
Framework health is scored from 0 to 100 and classified into one of four states:
Structural Bull
60–100
Stressed Structure
40–60
Framework Crisis
20–40
Post-Cycle
0–20
Beyond the headline state, the meta-regime tracks several supporting metrics. Velocity measures how fast the health score is changing over 7-day and 30-day windows, with acceleration indicating whether that rate of change is speeding up or slowing down. Signal agreement captures how aligned the 26 signals are with each other — high agreement means consensus, low agreement means internal conflict.
Scenario probabilities estimate the likelihood of three outcomes: the cycle pattern holding (glory), breaking permanently (death), or remaining ambiguous (uncertain). Transition risk flags when the framework health score is close to a state boundary, identifying which domains would need to shift to trigger a downgrade or upgrade.
A historical cycle context section estimates the current position within the approximately 1,460-day cycle (accumulation, early recovery, mid-bull, distribution, correction, or bear market) and surfaces comparable historical periods.
Investment Horizons
Not every signal answers the same question. Some reveal where Bitcoin sits in its multi-year cycle; others indicate whether the next few weeks look favorable for a tactical entry. The dashboard groups signals into three temporal horizons, each scored from −100 to +100:
Where are we in the BTC cycle?
Structural signals like MVRV, supply distribution, 365-day MA, power law deviation, and realized price. These move slowly and define the broad arc of the market.
Is the macro/market environment favorable?
Macro and flow signals like DXY, interest rates, ETF flows, open interest, and stablecoin supply. These determine whether the wind is at your back or in your face.
Is now a good tactical entry point?
Sentiment and positioning signals like funding rates, fear & greed, liquidations, and STH-SOPR. These identify short-term capitulation or overheating.
When horizons agree, conviction is high. When they diverge — for example, a bullish cycle score but bearish momentum — the dashboard flags this as a tension (see Signal Tensions below). That divergence often means long-term structure is intact but near-term conditions require patience.
Accumulation Score & Action Guidance
During crashes, the composite regime score can land at NEUTRAL because bearish macro forces and bullish on-chain capitulation signals cancel each other out. This masks the fact that a meaningful accumulation opportunity may exist. The accumulation score isolates the opportunity signal by combining nine weighted factors into a single gauge from−100 to +100.
The nine factors and their weights are: drawdown from all-time high (25%), MVRV ratio (15%), Fear & Greed index (10%), funding rates (10%), open interest reset (10%), realized price ratio (10%), moving average deviation (10%), recovery phase progress (5%), and Fed balance sheet trend (5%). Each factor is scored independently, then combined into the weighted average.
The resulting score maps to five bands: Strong Accumulate (above +50), Accumulate (+20 to +50), Neutral (−20 to +20), Unfavorable (−50 to −20), and Overextended (below −50).
The Action Matrix
The dashboard crosses the composite regime (five levels) with the accumulation band (five levels) to produce a specific investor action. Seven actions are possible: Strong Buy, Buy, Hold, Reduce, Sell, Accumulate, and Defensive. For example, NEUTRAL regime paired with an Accumulate band yields a BUY action, while DANGER regime paired with an Overextended band yields SELL.
Each action is accompanied by a conviction level — High, Moderate, Low, or Mixed — derived from how many of the four domains agree on direction. High conviction (three or more domains aligned) warrants larger position sizing; Mixed conviction (two bullish and two bearish) warrants caution regardless of the headline action.
An AI-generated action rationale explains in plain English why the current regime and accumulation conditions produce the recommended action, including which factors are driving the assessment and what would need to change for the guidance to shift.
Signal Tensions
When all signals agree, the composite score tells a clean story. But markets are messy, and it is common for domains or horizons to contradict each other. The dashboard automatically detects and surfaces these tensions so they are not hidden inside an averaged-out composite.
A domain tension is flagged when two of the four domains have opposite-sign scores with a spread exceeding 30 points — for example, Macro at +40 while On-Chain sits at −35. A horizon tension is flagged when the Cycle and Momentum horizons disagree by more than 30 points in opposite directions. Each tension includes an explanation of what the disagreement means for positioning — a bullish cycle with bearish momentum typically means the structural setup is intact but patience is required, while the reverse suggests a tactical bounce within a broader downtrend.
Up to three tensions are displayed, sorted by the size of the divergence. When all signals are reasonably aligned, the tensions section is hidden entirely.
Thesis Scorecard
Markets are ultimately driven by narratives. The thesis scorecard takes three pre-defined investment theses — one bullish, one bearish, one neutral — and tests each against live signal data. Every thesis contains a set of binary claims (e.g., “net liquidity expanding” or “MVRV above 3.5”), and the scorecard reports what percentage of each thesis’s claims are currently confirmed by the data.
The bull thesis (“Exponential Horizon”) posits that expanding liquidity, monetary easing, and the power law trend propel BTC higher. It tests claims about net liquidity growth, M2 expansion, power law positioning, real yields, ETF inflows, and sentiment. The bear thesis (“$10K Bear Case”) tests structural overvaluation conditions: extreme real yields, low BTC dominance, power law overextension, liquidity contraction, overheated MVRV, and negative M2 growth. The neutral thesis (“10Y Yield Regime”) tests whether the bond market is creating a hostile environment for all risk assets through high nominal and real yields, dollar strength, elevated volatility, and balance sheet contraction.
Claims are weighted, so more structurally important conditions count more toward the overall confidence score. A thesis at 60%+ confidence deserves serious attention; below 40% suggests the narrative is not supported by current data. Importantly, thesis claims test binary conditions that may differ from signal scoring breakpoints — a confirmed claim means the specific condition is met, not necessarily that the underlying signal is bullish or bearish overall.
Recovery Sequence
Analysis of the 2025-2026 crash identified a five-phase recovery pattern. Each phase has specific signals that confirm the transition. The dashboard tracks progress through this sequence automatically.
Liquidation Exhaustion
Open interest collapses >30% from peak. Funding rates go deeply negative. Massive liquidation volumes flush overleveraged positions. The market is in pain, but the forced selling that drove the crash is spent.
Key signals: Open Interest, Funding Rates, Liquidations
Macro Catalyst
A dovish shift from the Fed or BoJ, or a resolution of the geopolitical shock that triggered the crash. The macro environment shifts from active headwind to neutral or supportive. VIX retreats from extreme levels.
Key signals: Interest Rates, VIX, USD/JPY, Net Liquidity
ETF Flows Turn Positive
Institutional capital returns via Bitcoin ETFs, with sustained net inflows. Crucially, the quality of flows improves — genuine demand rather than basis trade arbitrage. The Coinbase Premium turns positive, signaling US institutional buying.
Key signals: ETF Flows, ETF Quality, Coinbase Premium
365-Day MA Reclaim
Price climbs back above the 365-day moving average, a structural milestone that historically marks the transition from bear to bull regime. This is confirmation, not a leading indicator — by the time this triggers, the recovery is well underway.
Key signals: 365-Day MA, Power Law Deviation, BTC Realized Vol
On-Chain Accumulation
MVRV recovers above 1.0 (holders back in profit on aggregate). STH-SOPR crosses above 1.0 after sustained capitulation. Fear & Greed exits extreme fear. Supply distribution shows coins moving from weak hands to strong hands.
Key signals: MVRV, STH-SOPR, Fear & Greed, Supply Distribution

AI-Powered Analysis
The dashboard uses Anthropic's Claude to generate three layers of AI-powered analysis, each serving a different reading depth.
Market Intelligence Digest
The flagship product is the Digest — an 8-section, long-form market letter generated daily by Claude Opus 4.6. It opens with an Executive Summary and an At-a-Glance data snapshot, then walks through Market Assessment, What's Moving, The Macro Picture, Market Structure & Flows, On the Ground, and Looking Ahead. Signal names are linked to their drill-down pages, and live charts are placed inline next to the paragraphs that discuss them. The Digest is available from the dashboard or its own dedicated page.
Daily & Weekly Narratives
A concise daily briefing (also Claude Opus 4.6) distills the signal landscape into 2–3 paragraphs of prose. A weekly deep-dive provides longer analysis of structural trends and emerging risks. Both are available on the Analysis page.
Chat
The chat interface (bottom-right) lets you ask questions about specific signals, domains, or the overall market. Powered by Claude Haiku 4.5 for fast responses, it has access to the full signal context and can explain what any metric means, why it matters, and how it connects to the broader picture.
