Research & Methodology

What works, what doesn't, and where the data runs thin.

Methodology · Falsifiable

The Dashboard Takes the Calendar Test

A website that hands out a test has to take it. The oil discriminator, run on all 25 ML features including the dashboard's own 13 indicators: one failed the same way oil did (BTC Fees, a 25.9-point pooled edge that collapses to 3.2 within-year), seven came out stronger than pooled numbers ever showed (Power Law's contrarian edge grows to 29.4 points once era effects are removed), and the two indicators kept on economic reasoning alone both passed. Fees stays, for stated reasons, with a written condition that would reverse the decision.

The Oil Anomaly Is a Calendar

Crude oil outranked most dashboard indicators in SHAP importance without being on the dashboard. Resolved: cheap-oil days saw bitcoin up 71.4% of the time pooled, and the edge collapses to zero within-year. The model learned when each row happened, not what happens next.

Thesis · Directional opinion

Gradual, So Far

The Fed ended QT, cut twice, and has bought $40 billion of T-bills a month since December under the name "reserve management purchases": a rerun of 2019's "this is not QE". The framing half of the June prediction is behaving; the magnitude half is not. The scorecard entry stays open.

Then It Sells the Underlying

Strategy's largest bitcoin sale ever: 3,588 BTC at roughly $60,000 against a $75,476 cost basis, to pay preferred dividends it had just raised to 12%. Principal, sold at a loss, to meet a fixed coupon: the sequence published here in June, on schedule.

How It Works

Seven dimensions of bitcoin's position, read across thirteen indicators.

Valuation

Is Bitcoin cheap or expensive relative to its 15-year history?

Macro

Is the liquidity and currency environment supportive?

Trend / Cycle

Where in the cycle are we, and what direction is the trend?

On-Chain

Is there genuine network usage and demand for block space?

Volatility

Is the market calm or stressed?

Mean Reversion

How stretched is price from its medium-term average?

Momentum

Short-term buying or selling pressure.

Each indicator is graded 0-100 against fifteen years of bitcoin's own history, then combined into the single reading on the dashboard. The weights are SHAP-informed and then fixed by hand: the machine-learning rankings shape them, but they are an editorial mapping, not a computed output. The model's value is in revealing which indicators carry information, not in predicting price.

The research is the reason to be here: the methodology, the corrections, and a dated record of every directional call.
