People love the gold to bitcoin rotation story. The math doesn’t. Start at 5:59 for the quick breakdown. Check this week’s report for the full data-driven debunk.

While X was busy chanting the gold-to-bitcoin rotation last week, we were busy tearing it apart with actual data. Now look at how $BTC traded as gold pulled back. Turns out conviction without math ages poorly.

DCA’ing $BTC in a downtrend keeps failing for the same reason. Bitcoin is a momentum-driven asset with sharp moves punctuated by long periods of chop. That’s exactly why trend-aware DCA keeps outperforming... and the gap keeps widening...

Crypto down. Rotation narrative dead on arrival. This week we cover: - key levels - bearish positioning in derivatives - any marginal buyers of $BTC? - will $MSTR be a forced seller? - bulls need to reclaim $82K - "better than DCA" strategies open.spotify.com/episode/3kgmZH…

All of these are pretty much useless. Price action is all that matters. Losing 88-90K was the last exit and no logical re-entry since.

People overcomplicate $BTC accumulation. Trend-aware DCA smokes corporate accumulation strategies, blind DCA, and plenty of fancy models. If $MSTR had used it from the start, they’d be sitting on nearly 3x the BTC.
