Charts Don’t Cry, But Wallets Do
I had it all figured out. After analyzing 47 different indicators, I discovered the secret to market prediction: cat meme popularity correlated with bitcoin prices with 89% accuracy.
My algorithm, “WhiskerWave,” was brilliant. When Grumpy Cat mentions spiked, markets dipped. When crypto kitties were trending, altcoins rallied. It was foolproof.
The Beauty of Backtesting
The backtest results were glorious. Every chart pointed upward. Every statistical significance test passed. I’d even controlled for variables like “time of day traders are most sleep-deprived” and “frequency of Elon Musk tweets.”
My wife asked if I’d considered that maybe, just maybe, markets were driven by things like “earnings” and “economics.”
I laughed. “That’s what they want you to think!”
