Mayer multiple
price against its 200-day average
A high value means the price is stretched far above its own average of the last two hundred days; a low value means it has fallen well below it. It is the simplest thing on the cycle dashboard and it has marked every top and bottom in the window.
DefinitionPrice / the 200-day mean price, over priced blocks only. Admitted to the cycle ribbon 2026-08-05; its highest correlation with any other row is 0.88, against SOPR.
LimitThere is no chain data in this, only price against its own past, so it agrees with a top after the fact and never explains one. A 200-day mean also has no theory behind it; it is a convention that happens to have worked.
