Macro Cycle Indicator

Definition

A macro cycle indicator is a broad economic or market metric used to assess the overall long-term trend of an asset or market. In cryptocurrency analysis, these indicators help identify the larger phases of expansion and contraction within the digital asset market, often spanning several years. Examples include long-term moving averages, market capitalization dominance, or aggregate investor behavior patterns. They provide a high-level perspective on market health, helping participants position themselves for significant shifts rather than short-term fluctuations.
