News Event Trading (Strategy/Saylor BTC sale)
trade the predictable reaction to major news events (BTC sales, etc.)
Key metric
N=2 in all history — not systematizable
- Why an edge should exist / hypothesis
- Large events (Strategy sold 32 BTC, −6% in a week) produce a predictable reaction.
- Construction
- Short into/after the event is published.
- Test data
- N=2 comparable events.
- Results
- The weekend short caught the tail of one (entry $61.8k, but a Sunday reversal → −1.62%). The main move happens within minutes of publication; retail is late.
- Validation
- N=2 — no statistics.
- Root cause
- Too rare; latency vs algo funds; OTC volumes are invisible on-chain.
- Verdict
- Not actionable.
