Crypto forecast
Expected range and market regime — the part of crypto that is actually predictable. No price targets: we measured direction, and it is a coin flip.

Honesty scoreboard
Direction: not predictable. Across every horizon we test, guessing which way the price goes lands on a coin flip, and our own model does not beat “tomorrow equals today”. That is why there is no price target anywhere on this page.
| Coin / horizon | Direction hit rate | vs “no change” | Volatility vs baseline | Test points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BTC · 24h | 0.485 | 1.024 | +0.158 | 4494 |
| BTC · 168h | 0.445 | 1.118 | +0.220 | 4278 |
| ETH · 24h | 0.529 | 1.013 | +0.156 | 4494 |
| ETH · 168h | 0.464 | 1.140 | +0.198 | 4278 |
| SOL · 24h | 0.473 | 1.034 | +0.076 | 4494 |
| SOL · 168h | 0.474 | 1.135 | +0.068 | 4278 |
These are backtest numbers: the method replayed over its own history, training and testing kept apart by a gap as long as the horizon. Hit rate 0.50 means a coin flip; “vs no change” above 1.000 means worse than not forecasting at all; volatility above zero means better than both baselines. How this is computed →

Why there is no price target
Because we checked, and it does not work. Take a year of hourly prices, build the usual features — momentum, position in the range, realised volatility — train a model, and test it on data it has never seen, with a gap between training and testing so the two cannot overlap. The result is a hit rate of about 0.50 and an error slightly worse than assuming nothing changes at all.
Volatility is a different story. How much a coin moves is genuinely predictable — calm weeks follow calm weeks, storms cluster — and that survives the same test. So this section forecasts how far, not which way. The full method, baselines and caveats →
