Prediction Tracker | The Deep Dive with Alessandro

Methodology

This tracker analyzes 23 episodes of "The Deep Dive with Alessandro" on Crypto Banter, covering September 2025 through March 2026. Every testable prediction, price target, risk warning, and macro thesis was extracted from show transcripts and scored against actual market outcomes.

Scoring Rubric:

Fairness Rules:

• Conditional claims scored on both the condition and outcome
• Risk warnings scored generously (if the market dropped within the implied timeframe, it counts)
• Vague directional calls scored against a 30-day window
• Project picks scored on alpha vs BTC, not absolute price (a pick that drops 30% when BTC drops 40% still has positive alpha)
• Very recent shows (under 21 days old) default to "Too Early" for ambiguous outcomes
• Long-term 2030 predictions marked as "Too Early" by default
• Bullish calls that initially played out (rallied 15%+) before reversing get partial credit if timeframe was short-term

Market Context: This period saw a major bear market. BTC peaked at $124,659 on Oct 6, 2025 and crashed to $62,910 by Feb 5, 2026 (a 50% drawdown). ETH, SOL, and most altcoins saw even steeper declines of 55-70%. Alessandro's shows were overwhelmingly cautionary during this period, and those bearish calls proved highly accurate.

Data Sources: YouTube auto-generated transcripts via youtube-transcript-api. Daily price data from Binance API (BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT, SOLUSDT, TAOUSDT, BNBUSDT, APTUSDT, SUIUSDT). Macro events compiled from Federal Reserve releases, SEC filings, and financial news.
