Weekend Recap
This week, my streams mainly focused on BTC and ETH
There wasn't much movement Monday and Tuesday, so I traded SAND a bit
The trades all came through Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I watched the charts, patiently waiting for take-profit, and the funny thing was that my short take-profit at 808 was hit by a wick right at 80800.0
I shared trade ideas every day, and the community caught three swing trades. I closed out my BTC short, while still holding my long, just waiting for the right catalyst$BTC $ETH $SNDK

#ShareWeekly #WarshIMFSpeech Warsh at the IMF: why the Bangkok remarks matter for rate hikes and for BTC
Fed Chair Kevin Warsh joined IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva for a fireside chat at the IMF-World Bank meetings in Bangkok, and the two questions in this topic are the right ones. Is the tone hawkish or dovish, and what does it mean for Bitcoin? Here are the answers, backed by the numbers that moved after he spoke.
Tone: neutral on the surface, hawkish underneath
Warsh did not choose a side. He reiterated the Fed's commitment to price stability while refusing to prejudge upcoming

$AGT The blessings of a tiny-position trader

🏛️ New Local Economy Law: Delcy Rodríguez announced that she will present a bill to the National Assembly to complement the Communal Economy Law, with the goal of achieving zero hunger before 2030.
For the P2P market and USDT users, what matters isn’t the speech: it’s how money will be funded, collected, and moved in communities.
The official statement talks about integrating community and local efforts, but says nothing about funding, rates, currency, or how payments for goods will be collected or local businesses will be invoiced. It also doesn’t detail tax exemptions, low-interest loans, o

$AGT Just scanned on-chain: two new addresses bought through the pool’s liquidity—one starting with 0x7a3f withdrew 24 million AGT (about 1.92 million U) from Gate, while one starting with 0x9c2e has been continuously buying 11 million tokens over the past 6 hours. WhaleAlerts flagged it as “first interaction by a new wallet.” Glassnode data is even more direct: the number of addresses holding over 1 million tokens increased by 47 in 24 hours, and net exchange outflows hit a nearly 30-day high. The coin’s low today was 0.0396 and its high was 0.1048, a 165% swing. It’s now at 0.0800, with 960

The data looks off. $US is currently at 0.0060, down 14.38% in 24 hours, with a low of 0.0059, closing almost at the floor, yet trading volume was still 22.9M—the price crashed without volume shrinking, so this isn’t an ordinary pullback.
Three possibilities: first, someone dumped heavily ahead of a certain event; the volume shows the selling pressure is real. Second, market makers pulled liquidity, and the thin order book created the plunge—the 0.0059 wick looks like that. Third, panic selling triggered a cascade, with retail traders handing over their tokens after seeing it break below 0.00

On October 16, spot Ethereum ETFs saw daily net outflows of $69.68 million, with BlackRock ETHA the only product to record net outflows that day; Grayscale ETHE, Fidelity FETH, and other products had zero net flows. Cumulative outflows in October have reached $955 million, steadily eroding the $814 million in year-to-date net inflows, signaling weaker institutional appetite for allocations and a lack of incremental buying to absorb the selling, with expectations of sustained downward price pressure.

This is Not FUD. Just a conversation worth having.
Personally, I don't see the conversation around the 1,096,361 BTC as an attempt to create fear around Bitcoin. I see it as an opportunity to think more seriously about Bitcoin's future.
One thing I've observed is that people sometimes mistake difficult questions for attacks on something they believe in. But I don't think asking questions about Bitcoin's long-term security means you're against Bitcoin.
If anything, I believe the opposite.
If we expect Bitcoin to remain relevant for decades, then we should be willing to discuss the challenges th

A couple weeks ago I added bonds to my account & people thought I lost my mind
“Brandon the market’s ripping, why would you buy BONDS?”
Because my stock sheet/overall thesis had $Q about 10% above fair value. When the market gets hot I lower my risk... fewer sold puts, took profits on $META, & moved about 15% of my account into bonds
I don’t have a crystal ball.
Timing the market is next to impossible.
I just follow the valuations/totality of data.
This week the Nasdaq 100 dropped almost 5% & chip stocks fell 9 days in a row
& today I started doing the opposite... swapped some of those bonds b

$ACT is showing serious bearish signals after a major breakdown, and the next move could catch traders off guard.
The price has broken below an important support level, suggesting that sellers are gaining strength while buyers struggle to regain control.
The market structure is turning increasingly bearish, raising concerns about another potential downward move.
• Support breakdown indicates growing selling pressure.
• Weak buying momentum suggests bulls are losing control.
• Failure to reclaim broken support could trigger further downside.
• The next major support zone may become the immediat

By the way, can you still open a USD account with Wise? Or are USD accounts important to Wise? Why does everyone use Wise to get paid by Musk?
