Pi Cycle Top Indicator · 0-100 normalised
Loading the latest available source data.
Pi Cycle fires when Bitcoin's 111-day moving average crosses above twice its 350-day moving average. That cross has landed within three days of the 2013, 2017 and 2021 cycle highs. It is a single binary signal, not a gauge — the reading here is how close the two averages are to crossing.

What it actually measures

How close short-term momentum is to a historically extreme stretch over the long trend.

How it is calculated

111-day MA versus 2 × 350-day MA; proximity of the cross normalised 0-100.

What it read at every cycle top and bottom

This is the table that does not exist anywhere else. Every value is the Pi Cycle Top Indicator reading on the day of that cycle turn, pulled from the same daily series the number above comes from.

Readings are normalised 0-100. Bitcoin closes are the same day's price from the source dataset. Cycle turn dates are daily-close highs and lows.

Average reading at a cycle top: 81. Average at a cycle bottom: 10. The weakest top signal it ever gave was the 2021 top at 58; the highest it ever read at a bottom was the 2018 bottom at 17.

Where it has been wrong

It did not cross at the 2025 top. Three hits and a miss is a small sample, and a signal that only fires at the very top gives you no information at all for the other 1,400 days of the cycle.

This section is on every indicator page here on purpose. An indicator sold as infallible is being sold, not explained — and the gap between "it called three tops" and "it will call the next one" is where people lose money.

Questions

What is the Pi Cycle Top Indicator reading today?
The reading panel shows the latest available response and its source date. If the component is unavailable, it is labeled unavailable. Historical tables are dated examples.
What did the Pi Cycle Top Indicator read at the last Bitcoin top?
At the October 2025 top it read 71. Every cycle top and bottom since 2013 is in the table on this page, taken from the same daily series.
Has the Pi Cycle Top Indicator ever been wrong?
It did not cross at the 2025 top. Three hits and a miss is a small sample, and a signal that only fires at the very top gives you no information at all for the other 1,400 days of the cycle.
Is the Pi Cycle Top Indicator enough on its own?
No. Every indicator on this site has a failure mode, which is why LiftOffr weights nine of them into one score rather than trusting any single one. The live composite is at liftoffr.com/cycle.
