Today's read, in plain English

What's working: pullbacks are bottoming higher than the last one; it is outperforming Bitcoin over the last 90 days; up-days carry more volume than down-days. What's missing: price is below its 20/50-day average stack; the 50-day average is still flat or falling; the weekly trend gate is shut — the bigger timeframe hasn't turned. Momentum context: RSI(14) is at 45 with positive MACD. The breakout trigger sits at $7.52, about 9.2% above the last close.

The map behind the pair

Each square is one fast/slow combination, coloured by what it returned per year holding UNI 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: 87 round trips at 0.15% costs per side turns ×77.3 into ×59.6 — still ahead of buy & hold's ×2.0. Right now the rule is in cash (since 2026-10-10). This is an educational backtest, not a strategy we sell. Our product's regime gate uses the same idea with one deliberately slow pair (50/200); on its own it made about 0%/yr since 2023, against about +32%/yr for simply holding.
