Episode notes
Momentum Over Market Timing
- Momentum trading now beats trying to time absolute tops or bottoms in Bitcoin.
- Institutional flows have made the market more measured and range-driven than past parabolic cycles.

- Missing a classic euphoric blow-off top usually means a less severe subsequent drawdown.
- ETFs and institutional bids reduce outflows, muting how deep a crash might go absent macro shocks.

- Recent Z-score readings suggest we had that capitulation and now face a 3–5 month consolidation.
