Successful traders’ arcs all seem to follow one general path:

1) Get rekt learning and maybe mimicking ppl you look up to, studying, learning basics
2) Making money but still losing more. Poor execution, risk mgmt, not focused enough
3) Net profitable for a more sustained period but struggling with keeping money and managing drawdown. Got the basics but inconsistent and emotional
4) Realize you need to be way more selective and slow down + bet bigger on higher conviction. Probably miss a few bigger shots. Realize what true edge means
5) Now you’re actually profitable and have edge. You kno

This morning’s BTC rebound was essentially a standard recovery after testing support. The price dipped to around 83000 at the open before stabilizing. This level coincided with the lower Bollinger Band on the hourly chart and the lower boundary of last week’s 82900–83200 consolidation range. Volume contracted as well—the bears made one push but failed to break through, and selling pressure quickly dried up. This was a textbook bottom-testing shakeout. Many people were probably rattled by this morning’s pullback candle and hurried to stop out, only to sell right before the move kicked off.

Going alone to an unfamiliar city, spending a little money to book a hotel, enjoying local specialties, zoning out, clearing your mind, and weaving through downtown streets like a vagrant,
without knowing the destination, opening your phone to post an update and write a reflection, with modest savings but enough to get by, and a small business that is enough to support yourself,
I think this is the ultimate life

There was a time when I really liked the line from Su Shi’s “Calming the Waves”: “Let the rain and mist fall as they may throughout my life”
But now, I also like: “Looking back at the desolate place I came from, I return—neither wind nor rain, nor sunshine”
At the beginning of the year, my wife said we should go hike Mount Wugong together midyear
And then I herniated a lumbar disc
This has affected me deeply, and not just physically
More importantly, I spent several years writing a “bucket list for life”
Those things I wanted to do
I suddenly realized that I might not be able to accomplish the

ETH continues its weak consolidation following the breakdown, coming under pressure from the early-session high of 2628 and falling back. It decisively broke below the 2600 round-number level and short-term moving average support, dipping to around 2551 before a slight rebound. The current price is 2564. Both intraday volatility and selling pressure are significantly greater than BTC, highlighting the intensified outflow pressure in the crypto alternative asset sector.
The bearish daily-chart pattern has been confirmed. The MACD green momentum bars continue to expand, while EMA15 and EMA30 are

The most painful regimes are when SPX goes up and crypto goes down.

CPI shows its hand this week. If inflation doesn’t come down, even the Fed’s tough talk will have to give way, and anyone on the wrong side won’t make it through the night. During the early-morning hours when liquidity is thinnest, those wicks are specifically there to clean out leverage. I’m cutting my position size in half this week and waiting for the data to drop before making a move. What are you seeing on your end? I’m focused solely on this CPI shot.

This week could be huge for the markets...
wednesday: us cpi and core cpi data
thursday: us ppi and core ppi data
friday: fed chair kevin warsh speech
expect some serious market volatility this week!
if the economic data comes in better than expected we could see a strong market rally.

Gold bottomed on October 7, but gold stocks plunged today, which is a bit hard to understand. I’ll watch the trend for a while longer; if things really don’t work out, I’ll stop trading gold stocks.
My account is down 10% from its early-September high. If it doesn’t recover over the next few days, I’ll liquidate everything at once.

83,000 has been confirmed as a solid support level. As long as there is a valid breakout above 84,200, the market will continue moving upward. The long trade strategy this morning yielded 1,000 points, and I’m continuing to hold the remaining position.
Moreover, judging from the liquidation map, there isn’t much left to be liquidated below 85,000. As mentioned last week, a large number of short liquidations have accumulated at 87,000, so the market will most likely continue moving upward to trigger those liquidations. $BTC $ETH

Rahul Gandhi’s flip-flop is more entertaining than the election itself. He started by shouting, “I have ironclad evidence,” then turned around and said, “You prove your innocence.” Switching the burden of proof whenever it suits you is the same old tactic used in any market: spread the rumor first, then shift the blame. Position sizing is always more important than getting the direction right. People who speak with too much certainty are often the first to be proven wrong. Let’s see what happens next; maybe I’m wrong.
