Understand the 4 Signals

These are the only 4 metrics you need to watch. When they all align โ€” it's time.

๐Ÿ“Š Supply In Profit / Loss
โšก Approaching Signal
This tells you what percentage of all Bitcoin holders are currently sitting at a profit or a loss. Think of it like a sentiment thermometer for the entire market.
Your buy signal: When more than 50% of all Bitcoin supply is held at a loss โ€” the majority of the market is underwater. Historically this has only happened 4 times and every single time was a generational buying opportunity.
Current reading: Supply in loss = 41.8% โ€” approaching the 50% trigger
๐Ÿ“‰ NUPL โ€” Net Unrealized Profit/Loss
โšก Watching
NUPL measures the total unrealized profit or loss across the entire Bitcoin network as a ratio. When it goes negative, it means the market as a whole is sitting at a loss โ€” that's when fear peaks and smart money buys.
Your buy signal: NUPL crosses below zero. Has called every Bitcoin cycle bottom since 2012 within weeks.
Current reading: NUPL = 0.19 โ€” declining, approaching zero
๐Ÿ”ต Relative Unrealized Profit (RUP)
โšก Declining
RUP measures how much unrealized profit exists relative to Bitcoin's market cap. When it drops into negative territory (the green zone), it signals extreme undervaluation โ€” the market has given back all gains.
Your buy signal: RUP drops below zero into the green zone. This happened in 2014-15, 2018-19, March 2020, and November 2022. All were incredible entries.
Current reading: RUP = 0.38 โ€” falling toward the green zone
๐Ÿ˜ฐ Fear & Greed Index
๐Ÿ”ด Extreme Fear
A simple 0โ€“100 score measuring market sentiment. 0 = maximum fear, 100 = maximum greed. The best time to buy is when everyone else is most afraid. The worst time to buy is when everyone is greedy.
Your buy signal: Fear & Greed drops below 20 (Extreme Fear zone). Currently at 12 โ€” the same level as the 2022 bottom.
Current reading: 12 โ€” Extreme Fear โœ… Already in buy zone

โšก When ALL 4 Align โ€” Go Hard

This is the moment CycleIQ was built for. When all 4 signals fire simultaneously, that's your full DCA activation signal. You'll get an alert the moment it happens.

๐Ÿ“Š
Loss > 50%
๐Ÿ“‰
NUPL < 0
๐Ÿ”ต
RUP < 0
๐Ÿ˜ฐ
F&G < 20

All 4 firing at once = the best buying opportunity in years. Don't miss it.

Why You Can't Lose With DCA

The Spot DCA bot works in your favour whether the price goes up or down.

๐ŸŸข The DCA Logic โ€” Simple as it Gets

Price dropsBot buys more
โ†’
Average costGets lower
โ†’
Price recoversYou're profitable
โ†’
Bot sellsAt your target

The Spot DCA bot on Pionex automatically buys more Bitcoin every time the price dips within your range. This lowers your average cost continuously. When Bitcoin eventually recovers โ€” and historically it always has โ€” you're profitable from a much lower price than where you started. You never hold empty bags. You hold more Bitcoin at a better average price.

Real Example โ€” BTC Spot DCA Bot
You start with
$200
BTC at $63,000
Price drops to
$45,000
Bot buys more automatically
Your avg cost
~$52,000
Profitable at $52k+
๐Ÿ’ก Pro tip: You don't need to put everything in at once. Start with $100โ€“$200 to learn how the bot behaves. When the price drops further and you're comfortable, add more to your position. The bot handles the rest automatically.

Start Small. Add as You Go.

You don't need a big budget to start. The strategy works at any size.

The Golden Rule

Only invest what you're comfortable holding for 12โ€“24 months. The Spot DCA bot works on a long range โ€” the longer you give it, the more it can average down and the more profitable your exit becomes. This is not a quick flip. This is intelligent long-term accumulation timed with the cycle.

Set Up Your Pionex Bot

Takes less than 10 minutes. Follow these steps exactly.

Choose your bot โ€” we recommend starting with BTC. Once you're comfortable, you can run ETH alongside it.

Step-by-Step Setup
1

Create your Pionex account

Click the button below to sign up using the CycleIQ referral link. This gives you access to all Spot DCA bot features.

2

Complete KYC verification

Verify your identity โ€” takes about 5 minutes. You'll need a photo ID and a selfie. This is required to deposit and withdraw funds.

3

Deposit funds

Deposit USDT or your local currency. Start with $100โ€“$200 for your first position. You can always add more later.

๐Ÿ’ก We recommend USDT (Tether) as it's the most stable way to hold funds before the bot activates.
4

Find the Spot DCA Bot

In Pionex go to Trade โ†’ Bots โ†’ Spot DCA Bot. Select BTC/USDT or ETH/USDT as your trading pair.

5

Configure your bot range

Set a wide price range that covers the expected bottom and recovery. We'll publish the exact recommended settings for each signal window โ€” check the dashboard before setting up.

๐Ÿ’ก The range and settings will be provided by CycleIQ when the signal fires. Don't set arbitrary numbers โ€” wait for our guidance for the best entry range.
6

Start the bot and let it work

Once started, the bot runs 24/7 automatically. It buys when price dips and sells small portions as price rises โ€” continuously lowering your average cost and generating passive income on every trade.

That's it. The bot does the work. You just watch the metrics and add to your position when CycleIQ signals strengthen.
