Cost Basis Phases
Classifies every day of the Bitcoin cycle into one of 8 deterministic phases derived purely from the ordinal position of spot price versus the three on-chain cost basis levels: Short-Term Holders (STH), the whole network, and Long-Term Holders (LTH). The regime bit comes from the STH vs LTH ordering - when recent entrants pay more than old holders the market is in expansion, when their cost basis sinks below it is in compression. The sub-phase is where price sits inside the cost basis fan. A -3..+3 ordinal score summarizes the position, a 5-day hysteresis filters out flickering transitions, and markers flag historically extreme days: realized profit/loss spikes, profit-to-loss dominance, low sell-side risk, and the rare STH×LTH crossovers that pivot the regime (~2 per cycle). Zero weights, zero hidden parameters - fully reproducible from four public numbers per day.
