One of the new indicators I recently added to the free side of RR Terminal is Market Fuel. ⛽ And this is one of the worst readings I've seen so far. But this is exactly the reason why I wanted to build something like this. 😆 I wanted to build something you could actually use every day to understand what is driving Bitcoin before making a decision. The idea is simple. A move led by spot demand means real capital is entering the market. A move led by leverage means traders are using borrowed exposure through futures and perpetual contracts. Both can push price, but they do not create the same market structure. Market Fuel identifies who is pushing BTC, measures how hot leverage has become through open interest, funding and positioning, then checks whether the move is confirmed across spot flows, ETFs, Coinbase premium, wallet cohorts and exchange flows. Right now, the regime has been leverage-led for 24 consecutive days, while spot CVD is running at -4.2K BTC per day. This does not predict the next candle. It gives you the context behind it. A leverage-led rally can continue. A spot-led rally can fail. But knowing the fuel helps you understand the behavior of the market and the risk you are accepting before the trade. If you use Market Fuel every day, you can see who is driving the move, how much borrowed fuel is involved and whether real demand is confirming it. I think this can make a real difference in how people read the market, so I decided to keep it free inside Market Map. Enjoy.

📊 I just added 3 NEW INDICATORS to the free Market Map. I built them to answer three questions I keep coming back to: Who is moving Bitcoin? How broad is the demand? Is macro helping? 👇🧵

🧐 The Fed held rates at 3.75–4.00% yesterday. Two members still wanted a 25 bps hike. That dissent matters. Economic activity remains strong, inflation is still elevated, and the RR Macro Regime closed October 28 in Inflation. Risk appetite fell from 79% to 37% in one month, while inflation pressure remains at 60%. Crypto is one of the few parts of the cross-asset map still leaning risk-on. Volatility, commodities, rates and credit are pointing the other way. An unchanged policy rate gives me no easier-liquidity signal by itself. I want to see risk appetite recover and inflation pressure lose breadth before I give this hold more weight. Until then, BTC is still fighting a difficult macro tape. 📊

📊 On the Oct 27 close, $BTC was at $80.9K while Cycle Z sat at +0.26σ, the 63rd percentile of its history. That keeps on-chain valuation in neutral territory. Bitcoin has already moved away from the deeper value zones, while the model remains below the heated range. Above +0.5σ, the context starts to look heated. Below -0.5σ, value comes back into the picture. For now, valuation is context to me. Direction still comes from my main system.

🧭 New in RR Terminal: Cost Basis Battlefield now keeps the history of every cohort. You can compare whales, sharks, fish, crabs, shrimp and humpbacks across time, follow how their cost basis evolved, and check whether their balance changes actually carried information for forward Bitcoin returns. The IC layer stays in the same view. Size alone is not enough. A cohort can move a lot of BTC and still have little useful relationship with what comes next. As of Oct 26, the 1K–10K BTC cohort had a +35.0K BTC net balance change over 30 days, a cost basis near $62.8K and a 30-day IC of +0.12. Now I can compare the current move with its own history before deciding how much weight that cohort deserves.

bitcoin:native is sitting almost exactly on its weekly gamma flip. The 7-day map puts the flip at $80.7K, with net dealer gamma still negative at -$5M. The main walls sit at $79K below and $82K above. This is the level I care about. Below the flip, dealer hedging tends to follow price, amplifying moves instead of absorbing them. Above it, that pressure starts to fade and the market becomes more stable. I’m not forcing a directional read while price is sitting on the line. Losing $79K can accelerate the downside. Reclaiming $80.7K shifts the structure, with $82K as the next test. The next bar close will be decisive. 👍

⚡ Important allocation change inside the RR Terminal. For subscribers, this is a moment to stay close to the updates. Markets like this can look quiet for a while, then move before most people have time to adjust. The goal is not to catch up after the fact. It is to be prepared when conditions change. Rebalances run between 00:00 and 01:00 UTC. You know where to look. If anything is unclear, ask me here or send me a DM. 🤝

📢⚡ Heads up, RR Terminal subscribers: LEGIO just got an upgrade. The new version is live on the Terminal from today. I refined some inputs and how the systems behave in certain conditions. The core structure stays exactly the same. The goal was less pain without giving up the risk-adjusted edge, and Invictus, our core system, is where it shows the most. Invictus · full backtest since 2018 Max drawdown: -42% → -34% Sharpe 2.27 · Sortino 4.23 Calmar 9.0 · Alpha vs BTC +275% In practice, the worst stretch you'd have to sit through got about 8 points shallower, with the same kind of risk-return profile. That's the part I care about most, because drawdown is what makes people abandon a system at the wrong time. Vinces moved less. It's the aggressive one by design: it runs a bigger risk budget, and over the backtest the return has paid for it. Vinces · full backtest since 2018 Max drawdown: -39% → -38% Sharpe 2.29 · Sortino 4.37 Calmar 9.1 · Alpha vs BTC +310% If you're subscribed, no need to rush anything. Allocations only shifted slightly inside the bands, and signals keep updating at the daily close like always. And this won't be the last update. The market keeps getting more complex, and these systems are built to adapt with it.

This cycle's capitulation was the shallowest on this chart 📊 At the 2015, 2018 and 2022 bottoms, the $BTC Unrealized Loss Stress Ratio pushed through the 45% capitulation line. That was the floor signal every time. This cycle it never got there. Two stress waves in 2026, both peaking well under 30%, and now it has unwound back to 8.7%, near the low end of its range. What this means mechanically: the market carried real unrealized pain, but it was never forced into the kind of mass surrender that marked previous bottoms. Most of that stress has already been released. It's a theory I've been sharing with my mentees for a while: capitulation doesn't have to look like it used to. Bigger players are in this market now, cycles are more dynamic, and the pain gets absorbed in a different way. So I keep thinking about everyone waiting for $40K. Most of them are probably still waiting. Are they reading the data in front of them, or a 4-year script someone sold them? We have to adapt. This indicator is a classic. What changed is how the market behaves around it. ForeDex goes well beyond this one, with a range of charts that read market structure in ways most of us aren't used to yet.

Inflation pressure has been creeping up since late September. The new Macro Regime on the RR Terminal still reads Reflation, but it just flagged a transition. Risk appetite dropped from 75% to 54% in a month, while inflation pressure keeps grinding higher at 62%. Reflation is a good place for BTC and ETH. Growth holds, prices rise, money still wants risk. Inflation is a different story. Rates stay higher for longer, liquidity tightens, and crypto usually feels it. Right now the market is split. Crypto and equities still lean risk-on. Rates, credit and commodities already lean inflation, with oil doing most of the pushing. I'm a trend person, so I'm sticking with Reflation until the model says otherwise. But this is the transition I'd keep an eye on 👀

💪 September was the RR Terminal's second month since launch. Plenty of work went on behind the scenes that nobody sees, but three big things made it out the door. 1. Vinces, a new system. The aggressive profile sitting next to Invictus. First month live: +72.4%. The honest part goes in the same breath. It's 10.5% below its own high today, and the worst drawdown in the eight-year backtest is -39%. That's the deal with an aggressive profile. You take the upside and you hold the swing that comes with it. 2. A rebuilt GEX. Now aggregated across IBIT and Deribit options. Gamma flip, net GEX, put and call walls, all of it with far more data behind it and a much cleaner structure to act on. 3. A "how to read" on every indicator. Simple and effective. Every card has a button now telling you what it is, how to read it, where to execute on it, and how people usually get it wrong. Two months in and we're shipping faster than I planned to. October has more coming, and the roadmap keeps growing with what the people inside are asking for. 🔥 Same goal as day one: fewer opinions, more structure behind your decisions.

👀 Missed this whole move waiting for the $50K your favorite analyst kept promising? He's still posting. He still hasn't shown you one verified trade. What costs money in this market is having nothing that can overrule your own opinion. You form a view, the market disagrees, and you hold the view anyway, because nothing in your process is allowed to tell you you're wrong. That's the entire job of a system. Mine went to 100% cash at the highs on the 18th and back in on the 19th. I decided neither of those. The system did, I followed it, and everyone subscribed saw the same positions at the same time. Last six months, live: Invictus +71.9%, Vinces +193.8%. Both at a new high right now, zero open drawdown. Worst either has taken in eight years: -42% and -39%, fully recovered. I post those numbers too. 👉 I don't sell price targets. What you get is the same decision layer I use every morning: what the systems hold today, what the liquidity and credit models read, and the moment a signal flips. Stop outsourcing your decisions to someone who never posts the receipts 👀

📊 My long-term liquidity model puts bitcoin's fair value at $126K. Price is at $85-86K right now, roughly 32% below it. The anchor is global liquidity, the total pool of money moving through the system. It sits at $177T, up $6.6T over the last year. Over long horizons it explains more of bitcoin's price than anything else I've tested. Where we actually are: inside the undervalued zone, but not at the edge of it. Yesterday's close read -0.81σ on the residual. The level to watch below is the -1σ band at $73.2K. That's the next structural floor the model draws, and by construction price spends most of its time between that band and the +1σ at $216.8K. Under $73.2K the discount becomes statistically uncommon. 👉 This is where the model earns its keep. It's a sizing tool. The deeper price sits below fair value, the more aggressive my accumulation gets. Everything between here and $73.2K is DCA territory by this model, and anything under that band is the kind of zone you don't get handed often. Long-horizon models measure distance and nothing else. This one says nothing about next week. Bitcoin has spent months under the line before. The anchor keeps rising. Price hasn't followed yet 👀

📊 The Fed raised rates. My credit index spiked +3.88σ the same day. Tightening from the central bank. A flood of credit from the banks. One day apart. Most people spent the week deciding if the hike is bullish or bearish. Wrong number. The story is what the banks did around it, and almost nobody is looking there 👀 Plenty of dynamics changing in the liquidity world. More to read inside my weekly report, on Substack!
