# Policy Echo

Source: https://whycoinmoves.com/strategies/crosscurrent

A macro event crypto strategy based on how markets absorb changes in policy expectations. Activity varies, and some months can remain flat.

Returns are percentages of fixed capital, non-compounded. Zero return does not establish an empty position. Missing observations are unavailable, not zero. Sources: backtest, live, mixed, missing. Month-end drawdowns hide intra-month losses. Backtests are in-sample; past performance does not guarantee future results.

Data through: 2026-10. Last data update: 2026-11-04T01:05:07Z.
