JUST scores 19/20 today — one of the strongest charts on our board. But Bitcoin's regime is risk-off, and across nine years of data, buying strength in risk-off had no validated edge. Impressive chart, wrong season.

Bitcoin regime: RISK-OFF — death cross on 2025-11-16, 265 days ago. In this regime we found no validated edge in buying anything — strength included. We tested momentum rotation, oversold mean-reversion and weekly reversal through nine years of data; nothing survived. When does it flip? →

Today's read, in plain English
What's working: price sits above its rising 20- and 50-day averages; the 50-day average itself is sloping upward; the weekly trend gate is open (weekly close above its 10-week average).

Each component is weighted by how much it historically improved forward returns;
the weights sum to 20. The full methodology — including what we tested and rejected —
is public on the daily read.
What would change our answer
→ Bitcoin's regime flipping back to risk-on (the 50-day average crossing back above the 200-day) — without it, no chart earns a buy from us
→ MACD momentum is on the positive side

Can you time JUST with moving averages?
One rule, fully visible: hold JST while
its 12-day average is above its 44-day average, stand in cash when it isn't. Of the
295 fast/slow pairs we sweep
daily across 5.9 years of history, 12/44 is this coin's best —
in hindsight. Every triangle below is a real cross: exactly when the rule
bought and when it stepped aside.

Rows = fast average, columns = slow. Greenest cell +56%/yr, reddest -18%/yr — scale is relative to this coin only. The white square is the pair charted on the left. Hover any cell for its numbers.
The map behind the pair
Each square is one fast/slow combination,
coloured by what it returned per year holding JST only while its fast average was
above its slow one. The chart on the left is the white square, traded for real —
every whipsaw included. Best-in-hindsight always flatters — treat it as a ceiling, not a promise.
Honest math: 27
round trips at 0.2% fees per side turns ×13.4 into
×12.0 — still ahead of
buy & hold's ×1.5. Right now the rule is
long (since 2026-07-03).
This is an educational backtest, not a strategy we sell — our product's regime gate
works on the same principle, one deliberately slow pair, validated out of sample.
Every trade the rule made — 27 round trips, newest first
