Executive summary

Market: Market stayed 1h-bear throughout the UTC day with episodic breadth recoveries and alt-led participation; breadth opened very weak and closed materially stronger.

Perf: TNT universe showed concentration: a few regime-specific winners offset broad losses in momentum short buckets; several strategies produced large theoretical PnL swings (fees/funding not included).

  • 1h BTC bias remained 'bear' for the entire day while breadth oscillated between capitulation, recovery and expansion.
  • BalanceBreakoutRegime (short) and a few rotation long pockets produced the largest theoretical PnL contributions, concentrated in a small set of phases.
  • Momentum short families (momentum_rotation_score / momentum_rotation_v2) netted negative theoretical PnL overall, with losses concentrated in contraction-type phases.
  • Multiple strategies show outcome sensitivity to phase labels (example: strong short performance in 'unknown_phase' vs poor performance in P5/P7).

The day was uniform on the BTC 1h axis (bear throughout) while breadth and participation cycled through distinct regimes. Breadth opened at a low 0.0694, climbed through a sequence of recovering → expanding pockets in the early UTC hours, then spent the bulk of the day in deteriorating/contraction states before a late expansion into alt-rotation that coincided with a stronger close breadth (close 0.7525). Participation shifted between alt_capitulation, mixed_dispersion and alt_rotation; leadership was dominated by alts. Multi-timeframe alignment stayed moderate (mtf mean ~0.57). Overall, the day presented alternating risk-off-looking BTC bias with intermittent pockets of broad alt strength.

Market ↔ Strategy observations

These are single-day, phase-linked observations and do not imply persistent edges; confidence tags reflect sample size and pattern strength.

unknown_phase × BalanceBreakoutRegime short high

Observed 25 trades in 'unknown_phase' with 76% win rate and theoretical pnl_amount_sum 89.0444; short outcomes in that label were largely positive today.

P7_bear_contraction × momentum_rotation_v2 short medium

Observed 19 trades with 31.58% win rate and theoretical pnl_amount_sum -43.3915; momentum_rotation_v2 (short) underperformed in this contraction phase.

P1_bear_stable_alt_capitulation × momentum_rotation_score short medium

Observed 5 trades with 100% win rate and theoretical pnl_amount_sum 15.9001; short signals in this early capitulation pocket were uniformly profitable on the sample.

P2_bear_recovering_mixed_dispersion × momentum_rotation_v2 long medium

Observed 7 trades with 85.71% win rate and theoretical pnl_amount_sum 14.5876; long rotation trades coincided with the recovering breadth pocket.

Lessons & hypotheses

Lessons

  • A day-long 1h bear BTC bias can coexist with large alt-led breadth expansions and late-day recoveries; strategy outcomes tracked more to breadth/participation pockets than to 1h bias alone.
  • Aggregate PnL was concentrated: a few phase-specific pockets produced outsized theoretical gains while many momentum-short strategies produced net theoretical losses.
  • Time-expired exits and long durations were common for several winning and losing strategies; duration profile materially affected realized theoretical outcomes.

Testable hypotheses

  • If a phase is labeled 'unknown_phase' with mixed dispersion, then BalanceBreakoutRegime short trades produce higher mean theoretical pnl than in contraction phases?
  • If breadth_state = 'deteriorating' and participation_state = 'mixed_dispersion' (contraction phases), then momentum_rotation_v2 short performance degrades on average?
  • If early-day alt-capitulation pockets occur then momentum_rotation_score short trades have a higher short-term win rate compared with expanding phases?

Followups

  • Backtest BalanceBreakoutRegime short performance conditioned on 'unknown_phase' vs named phases over the past 180 days (report win_rate, pnl per trade).
  • Measure momentum_rotation_v2 short performance by phase label over last 365 days; include distribution of trade durations and time-expired exit rate.
  • Compute contribution-to-portfolio concentration: rank trades by pnl_amount per day and quantify top-5 trades' share of daily pnl across last 90 days.
  • Analyze time-expired exits impact: rerun metrics excluding time-expired exits for strategies with >30% time-expired exits, compare pnl and win_rate.
