The door to the secret room, discovered in the previous issue, now stood permanently ajar. It was quieter here than in the main laboratory hall: less server hum, more smell of old paper and dust.
Emily was clearing clutter from a desk to make room for her laptop. Under her hand lay yellowed printouts dated 2014. The headlines screamed of catastrophe:
"Mt. Gox Halted",
"744,000 BTC Vanished",
"End of an Era?".
— Mt. Gox... — Emily whispered.
She knew the story well. The legendary Japanese exchange that once handled 70% of global Bitcoin traffic collapsed in February 2014, dragging 850,000 BTC — 7% of the entire supply at the time — into the abyss. Back then, it felt like the end of the industry.
But today, looking at her terminal screen in 2025, Emily saw a different reality. MicroStrategy continues its aggressive expansion, buying up Bitcoin, while Bybit celebrates its 7th anniversary. Infrastructure has become faster, more transparent. The market survived; it just grew up and got smarter.
While historical charts gathered dust on the desk, a fresh setup was forming on the monitor. SKALE (SKL) on Bybit painted a sharp downward impulse.
This time, the analysis rested on two pillars:
Rate of Change (ROC): The indicator pinpointed the abnormal velocity of the price drop — sellers were pushing too hard, too fast.
WPR (Williams %R): The value broke below -80. This is a technical signal confirming not just oversold conditions, but a high probability of Mean Reversion.
Emily didn't risk entering with full volume at once. Instead, she launched an algorithm to build the position using a grid of orders.
The market jerked, grabbed liquidity, and obediently moved up. Not "to the moon," but exactly until the WPR indicator crossed the -20 level from above — a classic technical exit signal.

🧪 LAB REPORT #6
Asset: SKL/USDT (15m, Bybit)
Signal: ROC Impulse + WPR (Mean Reversion)
Entry: Grid orders
Exit: WPR crossing -20
Result: +1.91%
Emily looked at the closed order with a slight smile:
— Hmm... Looks like regular scalping? Heh. Though, terms are secondary. What matters is execution precision and the dry numbers of statistics.
Emily closed the terminal and leaned back in her chair. To write the trade details in her paper journal, she needed to clear the desk completely. She picked up that thick folder of Mt. Gox archives she found earlier and moved it to the edge. Under the folder, hidden in a desk niche, lay a strange object.
It was a massive wooden radio receiver. Dusty, with toggle switches not made for thirty years. Out of curiosity, she flipped the power switch.
Suddenly, the speaker crackled dryly. The backlight flickered a dim orange. Through the static noise, a sound broke through.
...shhh... crackle...
Emily froze. This was impossible — the radio wasn't even plugged in.
...hissing... fragments of speech...
"...can you hear me?... frequency unstable..."
The voice was male, calm but tinged with fatigue. The static intensified, as if someone were trying to jam it. Emily frowned. That timbre... It reminded her of the voice that once warned her about the mistake on SUI, back when she almost walked into a trap. But not quite. As if it were... a different person? Or the same one?
"Write to Hampfree, it's currently one of the surviving communication channels... Not much time left... code word: Paragraph"
Click, and the signal cut off. The light went out.
Emily grabbed a sticky note and quickly wrote down the data. It seems the experiments in this lab go far beyond simple trading, and the questions are only piling up.
