Issue: December 19, 2025
1. Market Regime & Quant Score
Weighted Quant Components (Weekly):
MAs alignment: 78% (price retracing toward rising long-term structure)
DMI trend strength: 65% (trend weakening after rejection at resistance)
Ichimoku cloud positioning: 71% (price below cloud, no bullish re-entry yet)

Total Quant Regime Score: 74 / 100
Interpretation: COIN has completed a distribution phase at significant resistance and is now undergoing a controlled corrective reset into structural demand. Trend integrity remains intact, but price has not yet reached the optimal asymmetric entry point.
2. MCC Portfolio Context
COIN functions as a regulated institutional proxy for crypto adoption and exchange infrastructure, offering equity-based exposure to digital asset cycles without direct token risk.
Role in MCC: Infrastructure leverage to crypto adoption and ETF-driven volume growth
Risk profile: High beta relative to equities, lower volatility than pure crypto
When exposure is increased: Deep retracements into structural buy zones during crypto drawdowns
When exposure is reduced: Distribution into resistance during euphoric phases
Portfolio interaction: Complements BTC/ETH core and levered crypto ETFs while maintaining equity liquidity
3. BUY SCENARIO — Long-Only Accumulation
Buy Zone 1 (Primary): $198 – $165
Structural confluence with rising trendline and prior demand
MCC action: Staged accumulation only on stabilization
Buy Zone 2 (Secondary / Deep Reset): $145 – $135
Maximum asymmetry zone aligned with broader crypto risk-off events
MCC action: Opportunistic deployment using reserves
Example Allocation ($1,000 notional):
Zone | Allocation | Entry Range | MCC Rationale |
Primary | $650 | $198–165 | Structural trend support |
Secondary | $350 | $145–135 | Deep cycle reset |
4. SELL / RISK-OFF SCENARIO (NO SHORTS)
Sell Zone 1: $351–365
Prior rejection and volume-based distribution zone
MCC action: Trim and rotate into reserves or lower-vol engines
Sell Zone 2: Above $440
Cycle extension / euphoric conditions
MCC action: De-risk aggressively, recycle capital

7. MCC Quant Rules Applied
Trade with a cycle structure, not headlines
Treat COIN as infrastructure exposure, not momentum equity
Accumulate liquidity-driven fear, not breakouts
Trim into institutional distribution zones
Rotate gains into private credit, gold, or reserves
Preserve optionality via yield-bearing cash
Maintain long-only discipline with asymmetric patience

8. Strategic Interpretation (MCC Risk Mandate)
Current stance: Standby; price is mid-correction, not yet asymmetric
If price stabilizes in Buy Zone 1: Begin staged accumulation
If price accelerates lower: Deploy reserves defensively in Buy Zone 2
If price reclaims resistance: Trim and rotate; no chasing
No forecasts. If–then execution only.
9. One-Liner
MCC long-only view on #COIN: corrective regime within primary bull structure, with disciplined accumulation planned into defined demand zones and risk rotated per a 74/100 quant score.
