What is the best Bitcoin cycle indicator?

No single indicator is best in all conditions. Combining several into one score, as the ARC Index does, is more robust than any one chart.

Is the Pi Cycle or Mayer Multiple better?

Pi Cycle is a sharp top-spotter but ignores bottoms; the Mayer Multiple is a simple value gauge. They answer different questions, so combining beats picking one.

The contenders

Pi Cycle Top — nails tops, ignores bottoms, price-only.
Mayer Multiple — simple price stretch vs the 200-day average.
MVRV Z-Score — on-chain valuation, great at extremes.
Puell Multiple — miner stress, strong bottom-spotter.
200-week MA — the long-term floor.
Fear & Greed — crowd emotion, contrarian.

Why no single one is "best"

Each is reliable in some conditions and blind in others. Price-only tools miss liquidity; sentiment is noisy; on-chain can lag. Trusting one chart is how people get caught.

The combined approach

The ARC Index blends four independent signals into one transparent, backtested 0-100 score. The wisdom of multiple indicators without the contradictions.
