Mr. Beige Analysis: Can the “Marxino Defense Line” of BTC’s CVDD, which has never broken down, continue the bear-market bottom myth?
Each round of BTC bear market bottom has “come close but never fallen below,” and CVDD—the so-called life line of Bitcoin “Maginot Line” resistance—is currently at $46,252. Mr. Beig decomposes this myth from on-chain and statistical angles, and believes that the “never fell below” record is built on a very small sample size, and that the artificial parameters set in the formula are prone to becoming the result of overfitting, making its reference value questionable. However, he also points out that the figure of 46,252 is not far from his own “deep-bear valuation dip-buy zone.” If this cycle’s bottom truly dips into that golden pit and then finds a bottom, CVDD may be able to once again extend its seemingly unbeatable legend. This article is written by Mr. Beig (@market_beggar), a cooperative column for the Dongsuo Dongqu Trends Academy program.

Key summary
On-chain data reflects the market’s overall behavior patterns, but it can’t capture every individual micro-level investor’s thoughts. Therefore, I made a “Chinese Crypto Investor Intent Survey” and hope to better understand the strategies, needs, and pain points of retail participants through everyone’s feedback. This questionnaire is anonymous, takes about 1 minute to complete, and each of your responses can make the subsequent research results more valuable. Survey link: https://forms.gle/CTtNH34CXBbLF4eq7
Many friends have likely seen CVDD elsewhere. Its “come close but never fall below” myth at each bear-market bottom seems to have become BTC’s Maginot Line—an unbreachable life line.
So, can CVDD at this bear-market bottom really extend the miracle …?
The indicator in the attached image is CVDD, proposed by Willy Woo. Like Cointime Price, it also comes from the Cointime Economics framework. The calculation principles of the indicator won’t be elaborated here. Its design itself contains a “ship-setting” element—this is something I will discuss with you in detail later.
📊 Current CVDD = 46,252
If we make a rough assumption that “the pattern will continue,” then 46,252 is the level that BTC’s bear-market bottom in this cycle shouldn’t break through.
But, as Mr. Beig’s old friends know, since I started running Mr. Beig up to now, I’ve repeatedly popularized the idea of not “carving the boat in pursuit of the sword.” Many theories like Uptober, the altcoin season, and the “new year must rise” type of nonsense were also proven later to have died by the same “carving” mistake—unfortunately, retail investors are always forgetful.
Back to CVDD: no matter whether you believe CVDD will extend the miracle, you need to consider the following two points first:
From a statistical perspective: if you toss a fair coin 10 times and get 7 heads and 3 tails, you can’t decisively claim that “the probability of getting heads is 70%.” This is the most obvious issue caused by too small a sample size.
Moreover, in the formula design of CVDD, there are “human-set parameters.” As long as this parameter hasn’t undergone rigorous backtesting and been given logical justification, there’s a high probability it becomes the result of overfitting.
In summary, if you ask for my personal opinion, my answer is: with insufficient samples and an indicator that hasn’t been grounded in logic, its reference value naturally remains questionable. However, the current value of CVDD is actually not far from the “deep-bear model” I shared with you. Therefore, if this cycle’s bottom truly drops to the “deep-bear valuation dip-buy zone” and then stops falling, CVDD may once again validate its seemingly invincible legend.
One last aside: if BTC is to drop to those “deep-bear valuation dip-buy zones,” it must first break through the two gatekeepers of Path 1 and Path 2 (see the links below). Whether it can succeed in clearing the stages—I don’t know; time will tell.

Common questions
What is CVDD? What is its current value?
CVDD was proposed by Willy Woo. Like Cointime Price, it also comes from the Cointime Economics framework. In the market, it’s viewed as the support line of BTC’s “come close but never break through” bear-market bottom—namely the so-called “Maginot Line.” Based on the latest data, the current CVDD is about 46,252.
Does Mr. Beig think CVDD will hold up this time?
He is cautious. The reason is that the “never fell below” record has an extremely small sample size, and the formula includes human-set parameters that haven’t undergone rigorous backtesting—meaning there’s a high chance they are an overfitting result. However, he also mentioned that 46,252 isn’t far from his own “deep-bear valuation dip-buy zone.” If BTC truly dips into that range and then bottoms, CVDD may have a chance to be proven again.
