The MVRV bands do suggest we’re not in overheated territory. On paper, yes, this zone historically leans closer to accumulation than distribution. But here’s the part most people skip: MVRV doesn’t tell you when price reacts — only how stretched sentiment and cost basis are.
Right now the market feels “mid-cycle confused,” not cleanly bottoming or topping. That missing euphoric peak you mentioned matters. In past cycles, blow-off tops came with excess, not hesitation. This time, liquidity has been tighter, narratives weaker, and macro uncertainty heavier. That can produce what you called a “mini bear inside a larger bull” — but it can also stretch sideways/down longer than most DCA plans are emotionally built to handle.
Your DCA ladder (65k → 60k → 55k) is rational. The risk isn’t the levels — it’s assuming the market owes you a clean reversal after them.
Because the scenario you described — one final flush, maximum pain, everyone calling for 30k — that’s believable. But markets don’t reward the most popular painful narrative, they reward the one that breaks the most positioning. Sometimes that means no dramatic capitulation, just slow erosion until conviction fades.
The strongest part of your thinking is this: you’re not reacting, you’re planning.
The weak point: “Believers win every time” isn’t entirely true. Positioning and survival win. Plenty of believers in past cycles got wiped before being right.
So the real question isn’t whether this is opportunity or danger.
It’s this:
Can you keep buying and stay mentally intact if this drags for months or goes lower than your “worst case”?
