High-vol crypto with wide outcome dispersion
A high-return, high-volatility scenario built to show how quickly terminal range and drawdown risk expand when path variance dominates the story.
Median terminal
1.17x
10th percentile
0.21x
90th percentile
5.11x
Loss probability
45%
Median max drawdown
77%
Tail max drawdown
92%
Why this scenario matters
This is the path-shape lesson most people need before they trust a headline CAGR from a crypto strategy. The median can still look attractive while the downside path becomes much harsher.
- A strong expected return does not cancel a violent drawdown profile.
- Loss probability and tail drawdowns become more informative as volatility rises.
- Path dependence gets harder to ignore when the market trades every day.
