# Usage

Timing macro cycle tops and bottoms in Bitcoin is notoriously difficult. By comparing spot price against the Realized Price baseline, you can use these guidelines to execute long-term accumulation and distribution:

* **Accumulation**: Use the Lower Band and Realized Price levels to identify historic accumulation zones for long-term spot positions. When the price is below the Realized Price, the asset is historically undervalued.

* **Distribution**: Monitor the Overvalued and Extreme Bubble levels to gauge when the market is overheated and consider taking profits.

* **Timing with Signals**: Combine the built-in crossover signals with broader market context to time macro entries and exits effectively.
* **Macro Perspective**: Strip away short-term noise and evaluate Bitcoin's price relative to its fundamental on-chain cost basis.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.candelacharts.com/investing/market-valuation-and-on-chain/bitcoin-realized-price-bands/usage.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
