Calling it a day on gold—feeling a bit tired. Made $88 profit on $29 in starting capital. Still making money going both long and short; exceeded today’s KPI! Enjoy a good rest this weekend. Hope I can keep my hands off those damn Ethereum contracts. Back at it next week ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

Pretty sure we're getting a message soon that Opensea Foundation is shutting down and SEA is not coming.
12 months of missed opportunities to launch tells a tale

SOL is around 105, up roughly 1.4% in the last 24 hours, steadying after a rough month — it slid 13.7% since Oct 1 and spent yesterday hovering just above $100.
The pressure is mainly from flows: US spot Solana ETFs have logged eight straight days of outflows, including a record 24.8M weekly withdrawal (about 84% from Bitwise's BSOL), while hot US inflation data keeps Fed-hike odds elevated.
On the constructive side, the Alpenglow upgrade lands around Oct 21, aiming to cut finality from ~12.8s to ~150ms, and tokenised equities on Solana just hit $611M across 1.42M holders.
One thing to watch:

I recently officially uploaded an AI skill I developed to the WorkBuddy platform!
Skill name: Cat Bro AI General-Purpose Prompt Framework
This skill is designed to help turn the vague ideas we all have into clearly structured AI instructions that are ready to use. Simply put, it helps AI understand what you need more accurately, avoid unnecessary detours, and improve work efficiency.
This is just the first skill I’ve uploaded. I’ll be releasing many more over time.
I’ll gradually organize and refine some of the AI skills I’ve researched, developed, and actually used, then upload them to WorkBu

Act according to plan and wait for a good entry. When the high-level setup appeared today, I was checking in at the airport. Let’s see if there’s a chance to add to longs at a support level during the night session. Stay calm; even a heart with a fierce tiger can stop to smell the roses. $BTC ‌$ETH ‌

Your wallet is public. Your trades are public. Your AI agent’s data? Also public. 👀
With Covenants and its first release live on Ethereum, Nillion lets data be stored AND computed while it stays encrypted. That’s blind computation. No one sees your data, yet the work still gets done.
Think about what that unlocks: private trading data, secure AI agents, high-value data on-chain without exposure.
I’m not just talking about it, I put real money behind $NIL Trade card below 👇

NEAR JUST RIPPED 13.5% AFTER HELIUS CEO MERT MUMTAZ JOINED THE FOUNDATION COUNCIL 🚨
On Oct 15, the NEAR Foundation Council appointed Mert Mumtaz, CEO of Solana infra firm Helius and an early NEAR Intents user. Intents has processed over $33B in all-time volume, and the next catalyst is the Nov 1–14 NEAR Hackathon, which Mumtaz will judge.
$NEAR flushed to 4.521, then ripped to 5.439 and now trades near 5.243. Futures open interest fell ~10% during the jump with flat funding, so a chunk of this was shorts getting squeezed.
1H chart:
• Testing: 5.14–5.30
• If defended: 5.44, then 5.60
• If lost

How to Build a Brand from Scratch:

Gold: seven wins intraday
4167 short, exited at 4160, 7 points, 1018🔪$XAUT

My focus this week is Bitcoin, but the signal I care about most is whether it can hold support after a bounce. A green candle alone isn’t enough for me.
Inflation is also on my radar. If it stays high, I’d be cautious about expecting an easy recovery in risk assets.
My plan is simple: stay patient, wait for confirmation, and avoid chasing sudden moves. I’d rather miss an entry than force a trade without a clear setup.
What would give you more confidence right now: a strong weekly close or a successful support retest?

October 15 MES Review Exercise

$KORU No wonder it surged today—the South Korean government stepped in to rescue the market.
South Korea’s Financial Services Commission urgently convened a stock market meeting, saying it would activate emergency measures if necessary, crack down on illegal short selling and stock price manipulation, and emphasizing that the domestic economy’s fundamentals are sound. It sought to calm market panic, directly boosting confidence and driving a market rebound.

I'm not a huge fan of how this looks heading into the weekend..

Getting a bit too hard to farm more $var points now
This was about 17 mil in volume (and about $2500 in liquidation/losses)
Looking forward to the points window closing soon, but I reckon with the API I'll drop further down the leaderboard.
