Quantitative Research Analyst — Key Limit Zones (BTC, ETH, SOL)

**Project Type:** One-time, fixed-scope
**Expertise:** Expert


## Objective

Identify high-conviction price zones for BTC, ETH, and SOL where it is sensible to place strategic reserve limit orders—levels likely to be touched and that represent compelling value for each asset.

## Deliverables

1. For each asset (BTC, ETH, SOL), provide 2–4 “Confluence Zones” with exact price ranges suitable for staged limit orders (laddering allowed; no allocation advice).
2. Provide annotated charts for every zone.
3. Provide a short rationale for each zone explaining why it is good value and likely to be hit.
4. Provide a one-page summary listing all zones across BTC/ETH/SOL for quick execution.
5. Provide a simple CSV containing asset, zone bounds, and brief rationale tags (optional but helpful).

## Method Guidance (keep it simple; use your expertise)

1. Include on-chain valuation context using MVRV bands and/or realized price / cost-basis lenses.
2. Include robust technical context drawn from higher-timeframe structure, using any of the following where appropriate:
   2.1. Multi-year volume profile (HVN/POC, value areas).
   2.2. Major swing Fibonacci levels
   2.3. Anchored VWAPs, weekly/monthly support–resistance, long-term moving averages, and volatility bands (ATR/Bollinger).
3. Do not include backtests, expected returns, or drawdown tables; provide the levels, the charts, and the reasoning only.

## Examine All Relevant Technical Factors (show your craft)

1. Order-book and liquidity clustering.
2. Time-of-day and seasonality effects.
3. Perp/futures basis and funding, with open-interest context.
4. Options-implied levels, including large open-interest strikes.
5. Any other empirically useful microstructure or profile signals you deem material, with charts and plain-English rationale.

## Examples of skills

1. Quant background from a hedge fund/prop/bank or an advanced degree in maths, statistics, computer science, econometrics, or financial engineering.
2. Time-series and regime literacy, with the ability to translate market context into actionable levels.
3. Proficiency in Python or R for data acquisition, cleaning, and chart production.
4. Crypto fluency across BTC/ETH/SOL microstructure, on-chain metrics (MVRV, realized cap/cost basis), and volume-profile methods.
5. Clear, concise writing with tidy, reproducible charts and notebooks.

## How to Apply

1. Provide a brief method outline (5–8 numbered steps) for how you will select zones.
2. Provide sample work (de-identified PDF/notebook/charts).
3. Provide a fixed fee and expected turnaround, along with any data needs (for example, on-chain API access).

### Ultra-Short Version (for job boards)

1. Seeking an expert quant to map limit-order zones for BTC/ETH/SOL.
2. Deliver 2–4 Confluence Zones per asset using on-chain MVRV/cost-basis plus robust technicals (volume profile, Fibonacci, anchored VWAP, higher-TF structure).
3. Examine all relevant technical factors (basis/funding/OI, order-book/liquidity, options levels) and provide annotated charts with clear rationale.
4. No backtests required. Send method outline, samples, fixed price, and timeline.
