BITCOIN RISK OBSERVATORY

Understand Bitcoin Risk in One Number

How Bitcoin Risk works

Bitcoin Risk combines key market, on-chain and macro signals. It fails closed when a required input is outside its governed freshness allowance.

COMPLETELY FREE

Build your own Bitcoin DCA strategy.

Instead of investing the same amount regardless of market conditions, test a strategy that invests more at lower historical risk levels and less at higher risk levels. Compare it with ordinary DCA using only the Risk reading available on each date.

  • Standard and risk-adjusted DCA
  • Custom thresholds and contribution levels
  • Optional historical selling rules
  • Capital, BTC, return and drawdown statistics

START FREE · PRO WHEN TIMING MATTERS

Research freely. Follow current risk when you need it.

The free Observatory is designed for learning, testing and long-term planning. Pro is planned for people who want timely access to the latest risk context; payments are not available yet.

What is driving this reading?

MODEL COMPOSITION

Weights and current risk-point contributions

V1 weights are fixed. Contribution is the number of risk points currently added by a metric; it is not a weight.

HISTORICALLY SIMILAR OBSERVATIONS

What followed comparable readings?

Historical comparisons are descriptive. Outcomes not yet observable on the selected date are subdued.

Parameter sensitivity

Final portfolio value as buy and sell thresholds move. Broad strong regions are more robust than one isolated result.

Strategy, Buy & Hold, and Fixed Daily DCA

A matching accumulation level purchases its configured daily amount. The highest matching distribution level sells its configured percentage of BTC held.

Bitcoin Risk Score

Bitcoin Risk combines market, on-chain, sentiment and macroeconomic indicators to measure where current conditions sit relative to Bitcoin’s history.

Data coverage and limitations
Historical comparisons

Indicators are compared only where valid observations share the same date. Missing observations are not filled or estimated.

Macro indicators

Macro histories use their recorded publication timing and current historical datasets. Some lower-frequency indicators are not offered when they cannot support a meaningful shared history.

Realized Price remains outside the builder because a U.S. dollar cost basis is not itself a comparable risk reading.
