Retail gets chopped, systems survive. A 4-month snapshot from the Doberman VC Terminal.
The recent
$BTC push to $74k was a pure leverage trap. While retail was paying premium funding to long, our index (blue bars) detected deep structural weakness and institutional exhaustion.
The result? The math doesn't lie. Target Risk (white line) automatically dropped to Capital Defense mode before the flush.
My market read: We're in a choppy distribution phase. Smart money is offloading risk, and the engine sees it. We sit on our hands and stay in cash until structural momentum resets.
Capital preservation > FOMO.
