Investors, what metrics of BTC you constantly monitor?

[a298b112]

Well, there seems to be a lot of metrics build on market data. Some of them are easy to understand, some not. I guess there is not metric that will tell you ultimate situation on the market. One needs to take them with the grain of salt. Anyway what are the metrics you constantly monitor in order to be updated on current market changes? What tools you use to view those metrics?

Since you're talking about investors (those who basically buy Bitcoin and hodl) and not day-traders, i don't think there's a need for any metric, because you can't even predict the market, neither can that metric assist you in predicting it accurately, and as a long term invesor there's no need to try. Thus, since you are buying and hodling, use the DCA strategy to accumulate Bitcoin and hodl for as long as you want, it is the best 'metric' for a long term invesor.

• Pull up the charts from most recent haling ‘till today (2020-2023) and compare it to the previous halvings (2012-2016 and 2016-2020)
• Check the greed and fear index
• Check news, notice and make a list of future important dates for BTC

I don’t think there’s much more to it than this. You get a pretty good idea of what’s gonna happen next from all of this. Analysis is interesting but few make it through with their analysis properly and very few get their analysis turning into a reality. For most, it’s more like a dream or just content for views.

Many metrics but I only have this one for my bookmark on the browser, Realized price.

It is estimated realized price but it is good to use and start to DCA when the price is under the realized price, it's very good for entries. Like a few months ago, since November 2022 to January 2023, if we DCA, we will have good profit.

The next one for me is bitcoin halving. Because of the comining halving, you can start to DCA so that when halving comes, bitcoin price will not fall significantly but rise significantly.

2 years after halving are bull run. The 3rd year is bear market.

Other things you can check are news and statistical analysis including exchange inflow and outflow. Including the rate miners are selling newly mined coins.

There are a lot of factors that affect the market price of Bitcoin, and some of these things are unpredictable so I'm gonna say that with all of your metrics, there was no way you could accurately predict the movement of the market or the price of bitcoin, there are always times that your going to lose money. I mean it wasnt actually needed to monitor the market every time especially if you're just investing and accumulating Bitcoin for long-term investment, it would just be useless since you're not selling or buying most of the time, this could be useful if you're making trading as your daily thing, I remember the time when I still trade daily there are times that I could easily earn 100$ just for bucks of investment and probably up to 1000$ easily if I'm lucky but it wasn't easy since you could lose it easily as well. Yours just gonna need to be updated on what's going on in the market, something like articles, news, world economy, etc. and probably look for signals like for example good news that I think could trigger the market, Bitcoin halving event was a good example because most of the time it triggers the market to skyrocket like in the past halving but it wasnt guarantee.

If by ultimate situation of the market you mean what the price will be, then there is no metric that can tell you that regardless of how skilled you are.

If you are a trader you should research on what tools can help you understand the market and predict it better.
If you are an investor then you do not need to predict the market, the most you should do is find out what the current fear and greed index is and decide if you want to buy more and hoping to get a cheaper price in.

Thank you for this. This seems to be a good indicator. Bookmarked.

Since you're talking about investors (those who basically buy Bitcoin and hodl) and not day-traders,

There will be no need for a holder of bitcoins to even concern themselves with any metrics regularly. Focus should be on buying and trying to get more not concerning with something that put fear in your mind and get you discouraged from your decision to hold, or to keep buying to hold. Just keep buying bitcoins regardless of events and any metrics, buy bitcoin with what you have and keep buying. You do not need to monitor any metrics, just keep your bitcoins safe.

You will need metrics to know that Bitcoin is about in bottom range and you can start to do dollar cost averaging. If you can use some metrics and identify the bottom area, it's better to maximize your capital even with dollar cost averaging.

If you know that, you can more seriously do DCA around a bottom area and increase your capital size for each DCA time.

I disagree if we say DCA means just buying, buying with time and don't care about anything. We must know about Bitcoin cycle, how many years for a bull run, how many years for a bear run with each probable four year cycle.

Yes. Work tool for TA. Market analysis where the Realized Price Metric mentioned above from @SquirrelJulietGarden is clearly important is valuable, however if you are to become an investor you should also consider combining the Metrics Browser and tools such as the TradingView indicator to gain a broader perspective of market conditions and effectively monitor changes meaning an investor can easily scale up their understanding and decision-making process in the dynamic and volatile Bitcoin market.

Any news that's related to the market, that's one thing that I'm checking constantly to be aware of the happenings in the market. The current news and events is a big thing for an investor and trader to see the fundamentals that are inside the market.

What tools you use to view those metrics? 

Not a lot, basically those that have charts like what we see in tradingview and other price trackers.

[ImThour]

I used to create a lot of charts, check demand and supply, daily liquidations and volume etc.. But now, I focus on my real life goals while my Bitcoins are safe.
Now I finally understand and enjoy the pleasures of being a Legendary Member and I have grown a lot in these years of being part of this community.

Best part, I bought at a great price which the community might never see again. If we do, I will make sure to buy again.

Since you mentioned investors then probably they are sure about the fundamentals which means they don't have to play for every events which creates temporary price fluctuations and just stick to what they planned to, so I am going to say it's just the price no need of anything else.

Metrics are only useful in a fixed and certain market, but it will never be good enough in a crypto market that is very uncertain and unpredictable. So I agree on you with this mate. However, I would say that investing when bitcoin price is low, would make the best entry and selling it at its all time high will definitely make you profitable. Otherwise, if you set your own rule, then it will always be hard for you to gain significant profits.

There's no need of bothering yourself on what's not, bitcoin is made simpl and you can use any market speculation platform to determine it metric which is otherwise known as indicators, those that are into trading are the ones that needed much of these but if you're going to invest for a little while and hodl then the nest thing to do is to buy the dip and hodl, nothing anymore attached than this, you don't need the use of any metric here except you're referring to trading in prooper.

Tradingview.

As for tools to view these metrics, there are numerous options available depending on your preferences.  Some popular tools include financial news websites, trading platforms, that IMO dedicated market analysis platforms, and financial data providers.
But if I were you, just hold your asset for a long term and do sometime DCA way of purchasing Bitcoin, monitoring metrics doesn't important if you understand how Bitcoin will work.

I think investors don't need complicated data to map bitcoin price data. Investors are people who hold bitcoins for a long time so they buy bitcoins for long term goals. Those who need the latest bitcoin price data are bitcoin traders, traders who use the scalping method will be very updated on data and news. I'm not a trader, I only trade when I'm have good feelling and I only use data from coinmarcetcap and coingecko

I used to have a bitcoin savings program on hold. I buy bitcoin bit by bit from my monthly salary. I didn't use any data when buying because my goal is long term. But the bitcoin that I saved has been sold because I have family needs that I have to bear, and I get profit from my bitcoin savings, maybe I'm lucky because I need money when the bitcoin price is good
