BTC Risk

The BTC Risk Metric is a normalized market-cycle indicator designed to quantify how risky Bitcoin is to buy or hold at any point in time relative to its own historical behaviour.
It measures how far price has deviated from its long-term trend by calculating the logarithmic distance between Bitcoin’s price and a long-duration moving average (a 377-day simple moving average), then scales that distance by time to account for Bitcoin’s exponential growth.
This raw value is tracked against its historical extremes and normalized into a 0–1 range, where values near zero correspond to deep, low-risk accumulation zones typically seen around major cycle bottoms, and values near one correspond to high-risk conditions historically associated with late-cycle tops. Rather than predicting price, the metric provides a relative, regime-aware framework for assessing risk across cycles, allowing different market phases to be compared on a consistent scale.
