Crypto cycle chart: daily, weekly and monthly cycles

A crypto cycle chart is useful when it separates price structure from a calendar forecast. Start with the monthly trend, use the weekly cycle for context, and inspect the daily cycle for the nearest confirmed low.

Which crypto market cycle are we in?

The market read combines Bitcoin and Ethereum price structure with breadth across the analyzed Coinbase universe. It can describe an advance, early recovery, basing or decline. A market label does not mean every coin is in the same phase: compare the individual coin and its three timeframes before interpreting the aggregate.

How to read the three timeframes

Monthly bars give the broadest structure. Weekly bars show intermediate swings within it. Daily bars show shorter moves that can disagree with both. A daily bounce inside a bearish monthly structure is different from a weekly pullback after a confirmed monthly low. The table below links to the chart and dated confirmation levels for each coin.

Last confirmed lows are historical observations; a newer candidate may be forming. Open a coin for pending levels, bar status and the chart.

What cycle position actually measures

Cycle position counts bars since the most recent confirmed low. The median comes from that coin's own historical spacing between confirmed lows. A position beyond the median says the current interval is long relative to those observations; it does not schedule the next low. Coins with short histories or few confirmed lows provide less timing evidence.

A halving clock is a different kind of cycle

Bitcoin's halving clock measures time from a scheduled supply event. Daily, weekly and monthly price cycles are detected from bars. They need not turn together. Use the halving clock as context and the dated price structure as the evidence for a specific low.

Read the chart without losing the denominator

Coin charts use a logarithmic price scale so equal percentage moves occupy comparable distances. The Broken Coins list measures decline from a rolling 365-day high, while the fundamentals panel also carries a CoinGecko all-time high. Those are different reference points and should not be compared as if they were one measure.

Sources and limitations

The calculations described here follow this site's published methodology: Coinbase Exchange candles, CoinGecko market data, and DefiLlama protocol data. Coverage is limited to the analyzed Coinbase USD universe. Missing fundamentals are not scored as zero. Signals describe observed structure and are not forecasts or investment recommendations.
