Indicator overview

How the Mayer Multiple is calculated

Mayer Multiple = price / SMA(200)

The Mayer Multiple is the close divided by its 200-day simple moving average. The chart draws price, the 200-day average and two dashed reference levels: 2.4× the average (historically overheated) and 0.8× (historically deep value).

What it signals

Readings above 2.4 have preceded sharp corrections in every cycle, and the multiple rarely stayed there for more than a few weeks. Readings below 0.8 coincided with the 2015, 2018–19, 2020 and 2022 lows.

Limitations

  • A 200-day window is short for a cycle indicator; it flags local, not only cycle, extremes.
  • The 2.4 and 0.8 levels come from a 2017 backtest; the multiple's peaks have shrunk each cycle.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Mayer Multiple today?

1.14 as of Oct 19, 2026 — between the 0.8 and 2.4 reference levels.

What Mayer Multiple is considered high?

Above 2.4 has historically been the overheated zone: price more than 140% above its 200-day average. The multiple exceeded 2.4 at the 2013, 2017 and early-2021 tops and did not hold there for long.

Who invented the Mayer Multiple?

Trace Mayer proposed it in 2017 as a simple way to gauge whether Bitcoin was trading far from its long-term trend. The 200-day average and the 2.4 / 0.8 levels are his original parameters.
