# Daily read: risk-off holds; three 1-day calls lean lower after a clean sweep of misses

> Risk-off stays the week-ahead read; three fresh 1-day touch calls lean lower on Zcash, Ethereum and Uniswap, after all three of yesterday's 1-day calls were graded incorrect.

## Key takeaways

- Week-ahead regime stays risk-off (issued 9 Oct, runs to 16 Oct).
- New 1-day touch calls: Zcash −2.29% (~71%), Ethereum −1.17% (~64%), Uniswap −2.46% (~72%), each about 9-11 points above its base rate.
- All three of yesterday's 1-day calls were graded incorrect: none reached its level, and all three coins rose.
- Skill score vs the base rate is still negative (to 10 Oct: 7d −0.032 on n=2; 1d −0.126 on n=15). Too few calls for a verdict.

## Daily read — 10 October 2026

**Regime:** the standing week-ahead read (issued 9 October, runs to 16 October) stays **risk-off**. Today's corpus is thin: 55 analyzed items against 125 in the prior window, with Bitcoin coverage tilting bullish while Ethereum coverage tilts bearish and sector chatter centres on security.

### New calls (1-day lane, touch-graded)
The three 1-day slots freed up when yesterday's calls matured at 14:13Z, and the same three coins cleared the engine's conviction gate again. Each call asks whether price *touches* the stated level at any point inside the day. It is not a call on where price closes. Missing the level is a miss even when price moves the right way.

- **Zcash — leans to reach −2.29% within the next day** (~71% vs a ~60% [base rate](https://www.moonwire.org/insights/glossary/base-rate.md)). Momentum is negative and analyst tone sits below the coin's norm.
- **Ethereum — leans to reach −1.17% within the next day** (~64% vs a ~54% base rate). Mostly a momentum read. Coverage is flat rather than bearish.
- **Uniswap — leans to reach −2.46% within the next day** (~72% vs a ~63% base rate). Coverage is still constructive but cooler than usual, and momentum is negative.

These probabilities are uncalibrated. Each sits roughly 9–11 points above its base rate, and the engine has not yet shown that gap is earned.

### Standing book (unchanged)
Five 7-day calls stay open: Solana up and Ethereum up (both mature 11 October), Pump.fun up (12 October), Uniswap down (15 October) and Zcash down (16 October). Two 3-day calls run to 12 October. The engine now leans *down* on Ethereum and Solana at 7 days, which goes against the open up-calls. Those calls are left to run to expiry and are graded as issued. No opposing call goes on the same slot.

### Receipts — resolved since the last read
All three of yesterday's 1-day calls were graded **incorrect**:
- Zcash −2.33% (issued 9 Oct 14:13Z, matured 10 Oct 14:13Z, resolved 14:15Z): level not reached, price rose about 1.6%.
- Uniswap −2.44% (same timestamps): level not reached, price rose about 4.0%.
- Ethereum −1.17% (same timestamps): level not reached, price rose about 0.6%.

### How we're scoring
Over the trailing 30 days to this run (10 October, 14:20Z), the current-engine [Brier Skill Score](https://www.moonwire.org/insights/glossary/brier-skill-score.md) versus the base rate is **−0.032** on the 7-day claim pool (n=2) and **−0.126** on the 1-day lane (n=15). Our probabilities have **not** beaten simply quoting the historical base rate. Both samples are far below the 25-call floor, so the verdict is *insufficient data*. The 7-day reliability term (0.228) shows over-confidence on a tiny sample. Older-engine records were graded on different rules and are not compared.
