MCC Quant Research #BTCUSD

  • Dec 29, 2025
  • 2 min read


Asset: Bitcoin / U.S. Dollar

Timeframe: Weekly (Macro Cycle View)

Vehicle Role: Crypto Engine (Mandate Core)

Fund Mandate: Asymmetric Alpha + Cycle-Based Rotation


Issue: December 27, 2025



1. Market Regime & Quant Score

  • Market Regime: Late-Rise → Early-Correction (Post-Greed Compression)

  • Total Quant Regime Score: 74 / 100

  • Fear / Greed Quant State:

    • Structural Greed Exhausted at ~$126k

    • Fear is building, but not capitulation yet


    Interpretation: Bitcoin rejected the macro sell zone (~$126k) and is retracing toward rising long-term trend support. Structure remains bullish long-term, but short-term distribution risk persists. This is a buy-the-fear, not chase-the-breakout regime.



2. MCC Portfolio Context

  • Role inside MCC engines:

    • Core asymmetric growth engine

    • Primary volatility generator

  • Volatility behavior: High (50–80% cyclical drawdowns normal)

  • Rotation logic:

    • Trim into greed → recycle into private credit & gold

    • Redeploy into BTC during fear-based retracements

  • Interaction with other engines:

    • Private credit yield (10–15% APY) funds BTC accumulation

    • Gold absorbs excess volatility during corrections



3. BUY SCENARIO — Long-Only Accumulation


Buy Zones (Hierarchical):

Zone

Price Range

Valuation Level

Buy Zone 1

$78k–$74k

Fair Value

Buy Zone 2

$56k–$53k

Intrinsic Value

Buy Zone 3

$44k–$40k

Deep Discount / Cycle Reset


Technical + Behavioral Justification:

  • Confluence of:

    • Rising macro trendline

    • Prior breakout support

    • Historical cycle retracement bands (35–55%)

  • The highest asymmetry exists below $56k, not at the current price.


Acquisition Quality Rating:

  • $78k–$74k → 72/100

  • $56k–$53k → 86/100

  • $44k–$40k → 94/100


Example Allocation ($1,000 notional):

  • $300 @ Zone 1

  • $400 @ Zone 2

  • $300 @ Zone 3



4. SELL / RISK-OFF SCENARIO (NO SHORTS)

Sell / Trim Zones:

Zone

Action

$110k–$126k

Trim 30–40%

$160k–$200k

Aggressive de-risk

$203k–$236k

Cycle Greed Extreme


Purpose:

  • Lock asymmetric gains

  • Reduce drawdown risk

  • Rotate capital into private credit + gold


Capital Destination:

  • 60% Private Credit (compounding yield)

  • 25% Gold

  • 15% Cash (future redeploy)



5. Cycle-Based ROI Bands

Scenario

Target Range

Est. ROI (from $78k avg)

Bear / Extended Correction

$52k–$56k

-28% to -33%

Base Case

$126k–$160k

+60% to +105%

Bull Expansion

$200k–$236k

+155% to +200%



6. Risk Profile

  • Volatility: Very High

  • Drawdown Risk: 35–55% (cycle-normal)

  • Trend Strength: Strong (macro higher highs intact)

  • Success Probability: 68–82%

    • Cycle stage adjusted

    • Structure intact, butthe greed was recently flushed


    Total Risk Score: 71 / 100



7. MCC Quant Rules Applied

  • Crypto is accumulated only during fear or compression

  • Levered exposure allowed only tactically, never as core

  • Profits systematically rotated into:

    • Private credit yield

    • Gold hedge

  • No ideological holding — perpetual rotation only



8. Strategic Interpretation (MCC Risk Mandate)

  • If BTC holds $74k: Begin phased accumulation

  • If BTC loses $70k: Pause, wait for the intrinsic value zone

  • If BTC reaches $56k–$53k: Aggressive long-term buys

  • If BTC reclaims $110k: Trim, not chase

  • If BTC exceeds $200k: Major de-risk into yield engines



9. One-Liner

Bitcoin remains structurally bullish, but MCC deploys capital only in fear zones, not at greed extremes. #BTCUSD #ManhattanCrypto
