Question 1

What is Winston?

Accepted Answer

Winston is a rules-based, deterministic Bitcoin market-cycle dashboard. It reads where Bitcoin sits in its cycle and flags top zones and floor (accumulation) zones using independent indicator classes rather than opinion. It is educational, not financial advice.

Question 2

How does Winston detect a Bitcoin top?

Accepted Answer

By confluence across independent classes — valuation (MVRV, Mayer, distance from the 200-day trend), momentum/euphoria, on-chain holder-cohort distribution, altcoin dominance and perpetual-futures leverage — instead of any single metric. It flags a top zone, never an exact peak, and separates loud (leveraged) tops from quiet distribution tops.

Question 3

How does Winston detect a Bitcoin bottom?

Accepted Answer

Bitcoin bottoms are over-determined: cheap valuation, stablecoin dry powder, capitulation in on-chain and miner metrics, and a confirmed floor (the falling knife has stopped and price has recovered off the low) tend to agree.

Question 4

Does Winston predict Bitcoin's price?

Accepted Answer

No. Winston shows historical frequencies and cycle position, not forecasts. All readings are directional context, not predictions, and nothing on the site is financial advice.
