The tested gauges did not establish useful direction prediction over 7 or 30 days.

The verdict

✕ FAILED

The tested gauges did not establish useful direction prediction over 7 or 30 days.

What we tried

We asked whether funding, taker flow, unusual volume, breadth, dispersion and correlation helped time Bitcoin’s next 7 or 30 days.

What happened

None of the tested measures established a significant direction relationship in this experiment; all reported p-values exceeded 0.2.

What this means

That does not mean sentiment is irrelevant. These are particular measurements and targets. They do not cover every community, narrative, exchange or time horizon.

Evidence record

Published figures are from the original experiment summaries and the approved research handoff, dated October 7, 2026. They describe the implementation tested, not every version of the underlying idea.
