Key Takeaways
Bitcoin’s (BTC) price reached a new all-time high of $103,647 on Dec. 5. While the price fell the same day, it has regained its footing since, creating a higher low and nearly reaching its previous highs.
Once Bitcoin breaks its all-time high, on-chain indicators can help determine when the cycle will end.
Let’s analyze three specific on-chain indicators that have previously accurately predicted these tops and see how much room is left to grow.
The MVRV Z-Score is an indicator that shows whether Bitcoin is under or overvalued. It compares the market value to the realized value. When Bitcoin’s market value is much higher than the realized one, BTC is considered overbought, and vice versa.
Historically, values near 7 are considered overbought and have marked the top of Bitcoin’s market cycles.
The actual values have been 12.52, 11.01, and 7.55 in each previous Bitcoin cycle. So, the indicator has consistently made lower highs.
If previous history is followed, the MVRV indicator will not reach its overbought territory in this cycle.
This is because the descending resistance trend line that connects the two previous highs is well below the 7 thresholds.

However, the trend line is at 4.5, under the current MVRV Z-Score of 3.2. As a result, even if the declining high trend persists, the MVRV Z-Score has further room left to grow before it reaches the top.
The Puell Multiple is a mining indicator created by dividing the daily issuance value of Bitcoin by its 365-day moving average.
It identifies periods of miner profitability or distress through the daily miner revenue and its historical average.
In all previous Bitcoin cycles, the Puell multiple reached an initial high before halving (dashed).
Then, it reached a higher high that coincided with the Bitcoin market cycle top.

In the current cycle, the Puell multiple reached a high of 2.20 before the halving and then fell. It currently shows a reading of 1.22.
So, if history repeats, the indicator will make a higher high above 2.20 in the current market cycle.
The Pi Cycle Top is an on-chain indicator that is created by the 111-day moving average (MA) and a multiple of the 350-day moving average.
The indicator signals a top when the shorter-term MA crosses the longer-term one. It has perfectly predicted both previous tops.
Another characteristic of this indicator is that the Bitcoin price is above the long-term MA when this cross occurs.

As of the time of writing, the long-term MA (purple) is at $125,7,906. So, the BTC price and the short-term MA (blue) must cross above the long-term one to confirm the Bitcoin cycle top.
MVRV Z-Score, Puell Multiple, and Pi Cycle tops are three on-chain indicators that have accurately predicted Bitcoin market cycle tops before.
Even their conservative targets indicate that Bitcoin has more room to grow.
