The “Mayer Multiple” is an indicator that measures the ratio between the current Bitcoin price and the 200-day moving average of the same.
A “moving average” (or MA in brief) is an analytical tool that takes the average of any quantity over a specified period, and as its name implies, it moves with the quantity and changes its value accordingly.
MAs are quite useful in studying long-term trends as they eliminate any short-term fluctuations and smooth out the curve.
