Bitcoin Accumulation Strategy

When to dollar-cost average, when to accelerate, and when to just hold. Every day is scored on the 4-year price temperature and long-term-holder accumulation, then confirmed by sentiment and short-term high-probability price targets.

Price is 1.26x its 4-year average - mid-cycle. Keep steady, disciplined DCA.

Simulated weekly buys at each week's signal: $100 every week vs $200 in Accelerate, $300 in Strong Accelerate, and $400 in Ultimate Accelerate (Hold weeks buy $0). Returns mark-to-market at the end of the selected range.

Rules: accelerate when price is at or below 1.20× the 4-year average and 30-day long-term-holder accumulation is positive; hold when the price temperature reaches the hottest 28% of its history (percentile 72 of price vs its 4-year average). Diminishing returns mean each cycle tops at a lower multiple, so this volatility-normalized temperature catches modern tops the raw multiple misses.
