Today's Research Highlight

Prospective Execution Reality

The difference between Cryptokie's paper fills and prospective market execution after spreads, venue fees, liquidity impact, and latency.

Trade-count gate: MET — 4,094 observations

Calendar gate: 13 / 30 clean days

Evidence status: Collecting Evidence

Why it matters: Even a correctly-accounted paper strategy can produce different real-world economics when trading costs are included.

What remains unresolved: Whether the measured execution costs, once the sample is large enough, meaningfully change the model's reported edge.

No conclusion yet -- the study is still collecting evidence.

What We're Watching Today

  • Sentiment reads 74 (Greed) — monitor for volatility around sentiment extremes.
  • Bitcoin dominance near 59.3% — monitor for rotation between Bitcoin and altcoins.
  • Watch scheduled macro releases and regulatory headlines flagged in today's news above.
  • Monitor liquidity and realized-volatility conditions into the next session.

Research Reality Check

Cryptokie's paper accounting has been independently reconciled. We are now prospectively measuring real-world spread, fee, liquidity, and latency effects before making any claims about customer execution.

Educational Insight — Market Breadth

Breadth asks how many assets are participating in a move, not just how the headline names are doing. A rally led by only Bitcoin and one or two large caps is narrower — and often less durable — than one where most of the market is rising together. Watching the share of tracked assets that are positive versus negative gives an early read on whether strength is broad-based or concentrated. Narrowing breadth during an uptrend is a classic signal that the move is running on fewer and fewer names.
