  1. Is Bitcoin cheap or stretched right now?

    On the Cheap Side

    The price is below its usual level — the side of the range where patient buyers have done well.

  2. Is that unusual compared to the past?

    Today's reading sits at the 28th percentile of everything this measure has ever done — toward the cheap end.

  4. What does this mean for you?

    Bitcoin is on the cheap side of its own trend.

    The price is 0.91× its 200-day average ($70K) — below its usual level, at the 28th percentile of its history.

    Below the average has historically been the patient buyer's side of the range: not a bottom call, just a price below its own recent norm.

    What flips the picture is a sustained climb back through the average — that's how past recoveries from this side looked.

    What to watch from here

    • At 0.91× the 200-day average — the cheap side, 28th percentile of this measure's history.
    • A sustained move back above $70K (the average itself) is how past recoveries from this side started.
    • No rush lives in this zone — it has historically rewarded patience over precision.

Understanding Mayer Multiple

The Mayer Multiple is simply Bitcoin's price divided by its 200-day average. A reading of 1 means price equals that average; below 1 means it's trading under it; 2 means twice the average.

History shows two useful lines: below 1 has been the cheap side, and above about 2.4 has marked stretched, overheated levels near past peaks. Most of the time it sits somewhere in between.

It's one of the oldest and simplest ways to gauge whether Bitcoin looks cheap or expensive against its own recent trend. Like any single number, it's a guide, not a guarantee.
