That is why it is used as a reference for the long-term trend. Since it first existed (June 15, 2014), only 8.0% of weekly closes have been below it, in 2015, 2020, 2022, 2023, 2026.

Mayer Multiple. It divides the price by its 200-day average. Trace Mayer proposed it in 2017: a value of 1 means the price is at its average; 2.4 is the threshold he noted had historically been exceeded only in bubbles. Today the multiple is 0.98 and 36% of days since 2011 had a lower value.
