$BTC: I have the pleasure of introducing the most interesting top-detecting model I've seen for Bitcoin. This metric is a full

original. The lad was awesome enough to let me present it to you for the first time.
1/ Meet "terminal price" (red below)...
First, its formula:
Checkmate took one of my inventions—transferred price, which I used as subtractive value to create balanced price—and applied to it a multiplier instead:
terminal price = transferred price * 21
In his own words: "This creates a sort of 'terminal' value as the supply is all mined. It's basically a reverse supply adjustment. Instead of heavily weighting later behavior, it normalises historical behavior to today. By normalizing by 21, you create a terminal value."
This metric can be now catalogued in within the set of transferred price derivatives, which aim to bring coindays destroyed into the price domain. Ideally, balanced price for bottoms and terminal price for tops.
Today, terminal price stands at $80.3k USD.
I've tried experimenting with thermo price, another usual subtractive measure applied to realized cap, to asses for coins created as opposed to destroyed, and wasn't impressed with the results (teal below). So this seems to work (for now) only with transferred price.
Historically, whenever price surpasses terminal price, a top can be detected, yet it usually it goes above it by 20% to 60%. Assuming bullish momentum is still in effect, a rounded median of this range would aim for a top at $112.4k USD. That or the top has already been given.

Lol the analysis paralysis is getting real. All of these assume the cycles play out the same way, but we are already very late relative to the halving so of course the top price comes up short. If you do it again in a month it’ll be even lower (same price level)
