YearBull US Market Structure Weekly
YearBull detected a split beneath the strong headline market reading. The Market Bull Index reached 81/100 on September 22, 2026, while equal-weight daily participation was 38.9%. The relationship between the 30-day structure and one-day participation is the central signal this week.
What changed this week
The MBI rose from 77 to 81 over seven days, moving from Bull Market to Late Bull. Bitcoin’s stored reference price gained +9.3% over the same window and +10.8% over 30 days. Total crypto market capitalization increased +10.7% over seven days and +13.1% over 30 days.
Trend (100.0%) and 30-day breadth (97.9%) are doing most of the work. The risk-balance component remains supportive at 80.9%. Liquidity (43.2%) and structure (38.2%) are materially weaker, reflecting turnover, dominance, and concentration conditions.
The important divergence
Capitalization-weighted 30-day breadth says that larger assets broadly remain above their month-earlier prices. Equal-weight daily participation says only 38.9% of 9500 eligible assets rose in the latest daily comparison. These readings are not contradictory: they use different horizons and weighting. Together they describe a strong medium-term regime with a selective latest session—exactly the kind of split an ordinary price table misses.
Leadership snapshot
The table identifies the assets with the strongest completed YearBull Rank positioning. Unlike a raw return leaderboard, the rank rewards the quality of strength across momentum, liquidity, market-relative performance, stability, drawdown resilience, risk, and available history.
| Rank | Asset | Bull | Cycle | 7d price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pepe PEPE | 72 | Early | 45.1% |
| 2 | Sui SUI | 74 | Early | 42.1% |
| 3 | Avalanche AVAX | 90 | Early | 42.9% |
| 4 | dogwifhat WIF | 75 | Early | 36.7% |
| 5 | THORChain RUNE | 80 | Early | 21.8% |
Across the 9508 ordinary analytical ranks, the average Bull Score was 48.3. 1,028 assets scored 75–100, while 1,581 scored below 25. YB Market Risk was Low for 8,636 assets, Medium for 452, and High for 420. These labels describe observed market stress, not investment safety.
What would weaken the reading
- A sustained fall in equal-weight participation rather than a single weak session.
- Deteriorating trend or breadth with unchanged headline concentration.
- Further weakness in liquidity while reported price strength persists.
- A shift toward higher YB Market Risk across the analytical universe.
