Where are we?
Neutral. That reading has stood since 31 August. The zone is where this instrument reads the market, and it did not change this week. Price did.
Cheap or expensive — against what?
Against the crowd’s cost — the average price every coin last changed hands at. Today you are buying above that line, not below it. Measured against the last four years of that same comparison, this week’s reading sits in the lower middle of the range. Whether the price is high or low in dollars is a different question, and this instrument does not answer it.
What changed this week?
Price fell about 3% over the week. The zone reading did not move with it. Underneath, the engine’s own reading moved down. A price move of this size changes the zone in some weeks and not in others; this was not one of them.
What did the rule say?
In the week that closed, the rule said buy. The order went in the same day it was issued, and it filled in full, inside the price limit the rule set. Nothing was left resting and nothing lapsed. That is the whole of what the rule did last week.
What a weekly buyer does with this
In Neutral, a rule-based plan buys its usual weekly amount — no more, no less. It buys more than usual only in the cheap zone, and less than usual in the expensive one. Neither applies this week. The dollar levels where those zones begin are not published this week, because the chart that carries them is paused. The zone, not the daily swing, is what the rule reads.
What we still can’t see
How fresh this reading is. On-chain inputs as of 8 September — a few days behind the price you see today. The zone word is not the kind of reading that moves in a few days; the dollar levels are, and that is why none are printed this week. The chart returns when the crowd’s cost figure is current, not before.
