MCC Quant Research #ETHT

  • Dec 29, 2025
  • 3 min read



Asset: ProShares Ultra Ether ETF (ETHT)

Timeframe: Weekly (Primary)

Vehicle Role: Crypto Engine — Tactical Leveraged Exposure (2× ETH)

Fund Mandate: Asymmetric Alpha Capture → De-Risk into Core Engines


Issue: December 27, 2025



1. Market Regime & Quant Score

Market Regime: ➡ Late Correction / Compression Phase inside Broader Crypto Expansion Cycle


Weighted Quant Components (Weekly)

  • MAs alignment: 46% 

    (price below declining fast MA, above long-term structure)

  • DMI trend strength: 42% 

    (bearish but weakening)

  • Ichimoku positioning: 48% 

    (below cloud, flat Kijun)

  • Momentum (MACD / Stochastic): 39% 

    (bearish momentum, oversold developing)

  • Structure & trend integrity: 55% 

    (rising long-term trendline intact)

  • Volume/distribution: 44% 

    (no capitulation spike yet)

  • RSI offset (oversold): -9%


Total Quant Regime Score: 58 / 100


Fear / Greed Quant State: ➡ Moderate Fear → Pre-Capitulation


Interpretation: ETHT is compressing between descending resistance and rising structural support. This is a decision node, not a buy-at-market. Under MCC rules, leveraged ETFs are deployed only when markets are deep in fear, never in the mid-range.



2. MCC Portfolio Context


Engine Role:

  • Crypto Engine (Tactical, Non-Core)

  • Used to accelerate upside during ETH impulse legs

  • Always de-risked aggressively into:

    • Spot ETH

    • Equities

    • Private Credit

    • Gold


Volatility Behavior:

  • Very High (2× ETH + volatility decay)


Rotation Logic:

  • Enter only at deep discount zones

  • Exit on strength, not targets


Interaction with Other Engines:

  • Gains fund Private Credit compounding

  • Acts as a volatility amplifier, not a store of value



3. BUY SCENARIO — Long-Only Accumulation


Intrinsic Value Stack (Leveraged ETF-Adjusted)


Because ETHT is a leveraged derivative, intrinsic value is derived from ETH cycle + volatility discount, not DCF.

Valuation Tier

Price Range

MCC Interpretation

Fair Value

$60–$80

Mid-cycle ETH continuation

Intrinsic Value

$14–$20

ETH fear + leverage decay priced in

Deep Discount

$7–$9

Forced liquidation/crypto panic

➡ Current price ~$36 is NOT a buy.


Buy Zones (Strict MCC Rules)

  • Primary Buy Zone: $14.50–$15.50

    • Matches structural low

    • High asymmetry

    • Acceptable leverage risk

  • Secondary Buy Zone (Deep Discount): $7.50–$8.50

    • Panic only

    • Small size only


Acquisition Quality Rating: 68 / 100 (conditional on zone hit)


Example Allocation ($1,000 notional)

  • $650 → $14.5–$15.5

  • $250 → $7.5–$8.5

  • $100 → Held in cash (no forced entries)



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

Sell / Trim Zones:

  • Initial Trim: $90–$115

  • Major De-Risk: $180–$200

  • Exit Entirely: On ETH parabolic behavior


Purpose: ➡ Capture convexity ➡ Rotate into Spot ETH + Private Credit



5. Cycle-Based ROI Bands

Scenario

ETHT Range

Est. ROI

Bear Continuation

$8–$15

-40% → +10%

Base Case

$90–$140

+400% → +800%

Bull Expansion

$180–$250

+1,200%+

Mania Tail

$400–$500

Extreme, de-risk early



6. Risk Profile

Volatility: Extreme

Drawdown Risk: 70–90%

Trend Strength: Neutral-to-Weak

Success Probability: 55–65% (zone-dependent)


Total Risk Score: 61 / 100



Under MCC rules, risk score improves materially only if price enters intrinsic or deep-discount zones.



7. MCC Quant Rules Applied

  • Leveraged ETF = tactical only

  • No buys above intrinsic value

  • No averaging down outside zones

  • De-risk faster than spot ETH

  • Profits rotated into yield engines



8. Strategic Interpretation (MCC Risk Mandate)

  • IF price holds trendline and reclaims resistance → wait, no entry

  • IF price breaks trendline → prepare $14–$15 buys

  • IF price collapses into $7–$9 → opportunistic entry

  • IF ETH goes parabolic → exit ETHT early



9. One-Liner

$ETHT remains a high-convexity ETH instrument. MCC waits for fear and structural discount before deploying leverage.
