On-chain data shows that the turnover costs for BTC holders with 1-2 years and 1-3 months overlap, indicating a crossover. Analyst Murphy interprets this as BTC entering the latter half of the bear market. Additionally, the long-term valuation indicator CVDD, which has never failed in history, suggests approximately $45.5k as the theoretical bottom. Early whales have almost ceased trading, and the current maximum downside is about 30%, likely much less in reality.
Signal Interpretation: Why it’s the “End” rather than the “Finish”
1. Cost Crossover = Entering the “Bottoming Phase”
Meaning: The crossover of the 1-2 year holder cost and the 1-3 month holder cost is a classic on-chain signal indicating the latter half of a bear market. This suggests long-term believers are starting to capitulate, and chips are shifting from “weak hands” to “strong hands.”
Insight: Historically, this signal has often been followed by several months of sideways consolidation (Lindy effect), rather than an immediate reversal. The most panic-driven “free fall” phase has passed, but a sharp rally won’t happen overnight.
2. CVDD $45.5k = The “Iron Bottom” in Theory
Meaning: CVDD measures the long-term destroyed value; historically, BTC price has never effectively fallen below this line. The current value of about $45.5k sets a theoretical downside limit of around -30%.
Insight: Although there’s theoretically a 30% downside, considering whales have almost stopped trading (supply exhaustion), the actual decline is likely to be much smaller. This provides a safe margin for phased buying.
Strategic Planning: How to “DCA” Instead of “Catch a Falling Knife”
Given your preference for a conservative style with XAUT (Gold RWA), it’s recommended to adopt a “pyramid dollar-cost averaging” approach rather than trying to bottom fish all at once.
1. Position Management (Core)
Core Position (30%-40%): Hold XAUT steadily. During high volatility periods in BTC, it’s an excellent liquidity safe haven to help you withstand turbulence.
Aggressive Position (60%-70%): Allocate funds for phased BTC purchases. Don’t try to guess the bottom; operate within a range-based mindset.
2. DCA Purchase Plan
Divide your planned BTC investment into 3-4 batches, executed according to the following logic:
First Batch (Current Price Zone): Around $66k. Acts as an “observation position” to avoid missing out.
Second Batch (Deep Dip Zone): If BTC retraces to $54k-$58k (close to realized prices), increase buying strength. This is statistically the “golden pit” in history.
Third Batch (Extreme Zone): If prices drop to $46k-$50k (CVDD support zone), consider it a “money-giving opportunity” to complete the final layout.
3. Risk Control
Stop-loss logic: For BTC spot holdings, do not set a stop-loss. If it falls below CVDD ($45,500) and is confirmed, it indicates the failure of historical patterns (black swan). At that point, reassess the macro environment.
Time Horizon: Be prepared to hold for 6-12 months. The core of the latter half of the bear market is “using time to gain space,” so don’t expect immediate profits.
One-sentence advice: The worst crash phase has passed, but a reversal still takes time. Use the $45,500 “iron bottom” provided by CVDD as a mental safeguard, and accumulate chips in the $66k to $50k range through phased buying, while holding XAUT to hedge volatility.
