RUPL / NUPL · 0-100 normalised
Bitcoin $64,212 · Today's reading sits 36% of the way from the average cycle-bottom reading (2) to the average cycle-top reading (98).
NUPL measures what share of the entire Bitcoin supply is sitting in unrealised profit. Above roughly 0.75 the market has historically been in euphoria; below zero the average coin is underwater, which has only happened in the deepest parts of past bear markets.
What it actually measures
The proportion of circulating supply held at a paper profit.
How it is calculated
(market cap − realised cap) ÷ market cap, 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 RUPL / NUPL reading
on the day of that cycle turn, pulled from the same daily series the number above comes from.
| Cycle turn | Date | BTC close | RUPL / NUPL (0-100) |
|---|
| 2013 top | 2013-11-30 | $1,119 | 100 |
| 2017 top | 2017-12-17 | $19,250 | 100 |
| 2021 top | 2021-11-10 | $64,756 | 98 |
| 2025 top | 2025-10-06 | $124,824 | 96 |
| 2015 bottom | 2015-01-14 | $176 | 5 |
| 2018 bottom | 2018-12-15 | $3,185 | 0 |
| 2022 bottom | 2022-11-21 | $15,778 | 0 |
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: 98.
Average at a cycle bottom: 2.
The weakest top signal it ever gave was the 2025 top at 96;
the highest it ever read at a bottom was the 2015 bottom at 5.
Where it has been wrong
It is a lagging read on sentiment, not a trigger. Supply can stay in profit through a 40% drawdown, and the sub-zero readings that mark real capitulation appear months after the fall starts — useful for confirmation, useless for timing an exit.
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.

Has the RUPL / NUPL ever been wrong?
It is a lagging read on sentiment, not a trigger. Supply can stay in profit through a 40% drawdown, and the sub-zero readings that mark real capitulation appear months after the fall starts — useful for confirmation, useless for timing an exit.
Is the RUPL / NUPL 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.
