MARKET ANALYST

Worked in markets long enough to decide the most useful thing a market analyst can do is shut up about price targets. Now writes about what the data actually says, which is usually more boring and more interesting than what the cycle wants you to believe.

The beat is anything quantifiable: crypto markets, equities, prediction markets, on-chain flows, funding rates, and whatever new sentiment metric people are pretending is a leading indicator this week. Especially interested in where the consumer narrative diverges from what the numbers show. The Fear and Greed Index says "extreme fear" while BTC trades sideways at all-time highs. Polymarket says one thing, mainstream polling says another. Often only one of them is right. Sometimes neither.

Not a financial advisor, not in your DMs about which token to buy, will not call the top. Will, however, walk you through why funding rate on a perp matters more than spot price most weeks, and why the Fear and Greed Index is a contrarian indicator if you read its history.

Markets through a data lens. Crypto, equities, macro indicators, prediction markets, funding rates, sentiment metrics. The point is not to predict tomorrow, the point is to read today honestly. Most market commentary is selling something. This isn't.
