Bitcoin Bottom Index

Our proprietary Bitcoin Bottom Index tracks whether BTC is entering a bottoming zone. Index is using valuation, miner, and market-structure evidence.

A high score means historical bottom conditions are present. It does not mean the exact low is in.

Current conditions show valuation reset and market-structure stress, but the score is still below prior major Bitcoin bottom zones.

Bitcoin Bottom Index Score

54 / 100

Strong bottom conditions forming

Multiple bottom conditions are forming, but not yet extreme.

Historical calibration

Prior major BTC bottoms usually reached 80+.

Using the current CVL scoring methodology, prior major Bitcoin bottoms typically scored 80+ on the bottom date. The 2015, 2018, 2020, and 2022 bottom windows reached high scores, but 100 was rare and only appeared in the 2022 window.

2015 cycle bottom 90 on bottom date
2018 cycle bottom 91 on bottom date, max 95 within +/-90D
2020 Covid bottom 88 on bottom date, max 92 within +/-90D
2022 bear / FTX bottom 86 on bottom date, max 100 within +/-90D

Bucket Scores

The score separates valuation, miner stress, and market structure so a single sentiment measure cannot dominate the dashboard.

Valuation

27 / 54

50% filled

Tracks whether spot price and aggregate value measures are near historical long-cycle stress zones.

Market Structure

15 / 30

50% filled

Tracks long-cycle trend references and drawdown conditions around prior bear-market lows.

Miner / Network Stress

12 / 16

75% filled

Tracks miner revenue pressure and network stress/recovery conditions.

Scored Indicators

These indicators are computed from the latest CVL BTC bottom pipeline snapshot. The score updates automatically from the scheduled refresh.

MVRV Ratio

Compares market value to realized value. Readings below 1 indicate price below aggregate realized cost basis.

Methodology

Score zones, not exact ticks.

The CVL BTC Bottom score is not designed to predict the exact low tick. It measures whether Bitcoin is entering a historical value, stress, and recovery zone. Historically, major BTC bottoms clustered around 80+ on this score. Scores in the 55-69 range indicate bottom conditions are forming, but not yet in historical major-bottom territory.

Current MVRV-Z readings around 0.25 to 0.32 are consistent with valuation reset. Historically stronger cycle-bottom zones are closer to zero or negative, so this indicator remains a watch condition rather than a full hit.

Realized-loss capitulation is being researched as a future model input. It is not included in the current score because verified historical realized-loss data is not yet available in the local pipeline.

Recent backtests found that, with the currently available local data, market-structure indicators such as Mayer Multiple and drawdown have had stronger historical BTC bottom detection power than MVRV-Z alone. MVRV-Z remains useful for valuation reset, but not as a standalone bottom-confirmation signal.

Context, not confirmation

These indicators describe sentiment, attention, macro conditions, and popular floor narratives. They are useful context, but they do not confirm a bottom without valuation and capitulation evidence.

Fear & Greed Index

12 / 100

Context-only sentiment measure

Fear alone does not confirm a bottom and is excluded from the score.

Method note

Why this is different from Fear & Greed

Fear & Greed measures market mood. The Bitcoin Bottom Index measures whether low sentiment is supported by valuation, miner stress, and market-structure evidence.
