What Do These Indicators Mean?

Thermocap Z Recommended
Compares Bitcoin's current market cap to the total cumulative miner rewards since genesis. Historically, a low ratio signals 'cheap' (bottom zone) and a high ratio signals 'expensive' (overheated). It has correctly identified all 13 past cycle bottoms and tops.

MVRV Z-Score Reference
The most widely used on-chain metric, comparing market cap to investors' average cost basis (realized cap). Shown here for reference.
