# Description

The Pi Cycle Top is used as an indicator for market “overheating”, and has been attributed to “predicting” 4 different cycle tops. This indicator is used as a sell signal when the price peaks before pulling back. When the 111-day moving average (DMA) crosses or touches the 2x 350 DMA, it is an indicator for the top of the price cycle.

Coverage includes BTC and ETH.
