Data Coverage & Methodology
Every historical return is paired to actual US ETF exchange sessions; a missing observation is excluded, not carried forward.
Timestamp alignment
BTC source: completed Binance BTCUSDT 30-minute UTC bars. For each actual SPY, QQQ and GLD common trading day, sample BTC at 09:30 New York local time and at that day's 16:00 or 13:00 early close. IANA America/New_York resolves DST automatically. Exchange holidays are excluded from correlation. Close-to-close BTC returns between Friday and Monday DO contain weekend price movement; the RTH option strictly excludes it.
Separate session decomposition
Every completed 30-minute BTC bar is classified by its start time in New York as NYSE RTH, weekday off-hours/US exchange holidays, or Saturday/Sunday. The chart sums logarithmic returns in percentage points so contributions add; they are not simple cumulative holding-period returns. Bars with missing or partial 24-hour coverage are excluded for that date.
Prices & statistics
Yahoo daily SPY, QQQ and GLD raw open/close prices represent US stocks and gold without dividend total-return adjustment. Correlation uses Pearson r of log returns; beta is Cov(BTC, peer)/Var(peer). The 30/90/180/252 windows require that many valid matched observations. Conditional BTC performance is observed on the same SPY downside dates and is descriptive, not predictive.
Flows & depth limitations
ETF flows come from Farside's published daily Total in millions of US dollars; incomplete or unpublished rows are omitted. Binance spot taker CVD proxy = 2 × taker-buy quote volume − total quote volume. It measures execution imbalance at one venue, not net capital inflow. Binance spot depth within ±1% appears only if the 1,000-level book covers the full band. Perpetual OI, mark premium and funding are restricted to the Binance BTCUSDT USDT-settled contract.
