Coin Days Destroyed

An age-weighted measure of Bitcoin moved on-chain. The older and larger a spent coin is, the more coin days it destroys.

WHAT IT MEASURES

Volume weighted by coin age

One BTC held for 100 days destroys 100 coin days when spent. This gives older coins more weight than the same amount that moved recently.

HOW IT IS CALCULATED

Coin age times amount

Σ (BTC spent × days since previous movement)

LOOK CRYPTO shows the current reading and its 30-day change to separate direction from the series scale.

HOW TO INTERPRET

A spike means old capital is moving

  • RisingOlder and/or larger coin amounts are moving; possible distribution needs confirmation.
  • FallingOlder supply is quieter, which is consistent with holding.
  • SpikeCheck transaction destination, LTH-SOPR and exchange inflows.
HOW TO USE IT

Do not equate movement with selling

CDD is most useful with LTH Supply: falling supply alongside rising CDD strengthens the old-coin reactivation signal.

LIMITATION

Large transfers create noise

Custody migrations, UTXO consolidation or internal transfers can produce spikes without market selling. CDD has no universal cycle-top threshold.
