Bitcoin Bottom Index Score
54 / 100
Strong bottom conditions forming
Multiple bottom conditions are forming, but not yet extreme.
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.
Research note
We reconstructed the BBI across prior BTC bottoms. Prior major bottoms typically scored 80+, while the current score indicates bottom conditions forming.
Bitcoin Bottom Index Score
Strong bottom conditions forming
Multiple bottom conditions are forming, but not yet extreme.
Historical calibration
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.
The score separates valuation, miner stress, and market structure so a single sentiment measure cannot dominate the dashboard.

Methodology
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.
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.
Context-only sentiment measure
Fear alone does not confirm a bottom and is excluded from the score.
MVRV Z-Score < 0 and Mayer Multiple < 0.7

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