Bitcoin metrics
- Stock to flow
This model views bitcoin as a commodity comparable to commodities such as gold, silver, or platinum. These commodities are known as "stored value commodities" as they retain their value over time due to their relative scarcity.
For commodities of value, such as gold, platinum, or silver, a high ratio indicates that they're not largely used for industrial purposes. Instead, much of it is held as a cash hedge, resulting in a higher stock-to-flow ratio.
A higher ratio indicates the commodity is becoming increasingly scarce and therefore more valuable as a store of value.
How to look at the chart?
In the above chart, the price is overlaid on top of the stock-to-flow ratio line. We see the price continues to follow Bitcoin's stock-to-flow ratio over time. Thus, we can predict where the price might go by observing the projected stock-to-flow ratio line, which we can calculate as we know the approximate timeline for Bitcoin mining in the future.
The colored dots on the price line of this chart show the number of days until the next bitcoin halving event (sometimes called "halving"). This is an event in which the reward for mining new blocks is halved, meaning miners get 50% less bitcoins for checking transactions.

Funding Rates
Positive funding rates imply that speculators are bullish and long-traders pay funds to short-traders.
Negative funding rates indicate the speculators are bearish and short-traders pay funds to long-traders.
P.S. Funding rates (0.01%) are black, this is a neutral situation. Funding rates (below 0.01%) - green, this is a bullish situation. Funding rates (above 0.01%) are red, it is a bearish situation. The stronger the bearish or bullish sentiment, the darker the color.
