Mayer Multiple

How to read the Mayer Multiple

The Mayer Multiple is simply today's Bitcoin price divided by its 200-day moving average (200DMA). The 200DMA is one of the most widely watched trend indicators in all of finance — when price is above it, the market is bullish; when below, bearish. The Mayer Multiple quantifies exactly how far above or below that line the current price sits.

Created by Bitcoin investor Trace Mayer, it reduces all the noise of daily price action into a single, clean number that tells you where you are in the cycle relative to Bitcoin's medium-term trend.

• Below 1.0 — Price is under the 200-day average. Long-term holders who bought in this zone have consistently seen strong returns over the following 12–24 months. This is historically the best accumulation zone.
• 1.0 – 2.4 — Normal historical range. No extreme signal in either direction. Continue your regular DCA plan without making large adjustments.
• Above 2.4 — Fewer than 4% of all trading days in Bitcoin's history have been above this level. Each time this zone was reached, a significant correction followed within months. Exercise strong caution with large new positions.

Trace Mayer's original suggestion: accumulate aggressively below 1.0, hold steadily between 1.0 and 2.4, and reduce exposure above 2.4. The blue (1.0) and red (2.4) dashed lines on the chart mark those thresholds so you can see exactly how price has behaved relative to them throughout Bitcoin's history.

For best results, combine with the AHR999 and Fear & Greed Index. When multiple indicators simultaneously signal an accumulation zone, the historical odds of a good entry improve significantly.
