Bitcoin Buying and Selling Index

How is this score built?

The Buying / Selling Index blends six things Bitcoin owners do with their coins: long-held coins sitting still or moving, coins going onto or off exchanges, money moving in or out of Bitcoin funds, what big holders are doing, whether miners are selling, and whether the oldest coins are waking up. Each one leans toward buying or selling, scaled by how big the move is compared to normal. We roll them into one reading from 0 to 100. Low means coins are being sold, high means they are being bought and held, and the middle means the crowd is split.

What do the numbers on the dial mean?

The dial runs from 0 to 100, where 0 is as far toward selling as this reading gets and 100 as far toward buying. 0 to 20 reads selling hard, 20 to 40 reads selling, 40 to 60 reads mixed, 60 to 80 reads buying, 80 and above reads buying hard. The same bands sit behind the line on the chart, so a day's place on the chart and the word beside the dial are the same fact.

Do the six measures count equally?

No. They are weighted: patient holders 25%, exchanges 20%, bitcoin funds 20%, big holders 15%, miners 10%, oldest coins 10%. The weights are fixed, so a change in the score is a change in what holders did and never a change in how they are counted. A measure with no fresh reading is left out of the day's blend rather than counted as neutral.

Can I add the weights up myself?

Yes, and it is worth saying what you will land on. The shares above describe today's reading, which works out at 58. The number at the top of the page smooths that over about a week, with the most recent days counting for more, so one unusual day cannot swing it.

Does a high score mean the price will rise?

No. It says more of what holders did leaned toward buying and holding than toward selling, which is a description of 12 Nov 2026, not a forecast. Buying has met selling at every price Bitcoin has ever traded at, and this page is not advice.

Why show measures that do not count?

Because they answer the same question from angles the six do not, and because a score that quietly swallowed every number within reach would be impossible to check. The wider reads sit beside the score with their own readings, each linked to the page it comes from, and the score stays the six.

One important limit

This tracks wallet addresses and fund accounts, not a headcount of people. One person can control many addresses, and a large transfer does not reveal why the coins moved.
