82265.1.
At 17:00 today $BTC , a single candle was driven up on 30.3 million contracts; the previous candle had only 3.6 million.
Three hours later, it returned to 81975.9, with volume down to just 2.91 million.
A surge on rising volume followed by a retreat on falling volume isn’t a breakout; it’s an upper wick.
Upside 0.35%, downside 1.51%, odds 0.23 to 1—not taking the trade.

There don’t seem to be any holidays coming up in the next few months, and I can’t make any money either, so I’m just going to start celebrating Chinese New Year now.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year in advance!

The S&P 500 closed at 7,659.44 points last Friday, down 1.9% for the week—giving back about 148 points based on the closing level. The Nasdaq fell 2.1% over the same period. This pullback isn’t noise; it at least shows that the market is starting to reprice risk. More importantly, a signal has emerged, but one confirmation is still missing: with a packed earnings calendar this week, the AI trade is about to face a real test.
I’m watching the volatility compression in the run-up to the open. Typically, volatility gets compressed for a while before the U.S. market opens: futures trade in a narro

The government has ended the issuance of the old, machine readable, passports!
Pakistan has switched all new passport applications to e-passports, ending the issuance of machine-readable passports across the country.
The normal fee for a five-year, 36-page passport has doubled from Rs. 4,500 to Rs. 9,000, while the urgent fee has risen from Rs. 7,500 to Rs. 15,000.
Existing machine-readable passports remain valid until they expire.

$ETH The strategy called for going long ETH around 2380-2363 in the early hours yesterday. It perfectly caught the wick in the morning, and the position is currently in profit, with gains successfully made.

The market only reveals itself as it unfolds; your guesses are basically always wrong. The great way is simple.

$SOL This price action looks a lot like last year’s rally at $ETH : whale wallets have been steadily selling, while retail traders keep piling in. Economic worries, rising oil prices, and weakness in tech and AI stocks are sending money to safe havens. Pick the wrong sector, and no matter how long you hold, you’re just waiting in vain. If you see it differently, share your reasoning.

$ETH is showing signs of weakness around $2,400.
The loss of both the 20 and 50 EMAs shifts the short-term focus back to support.
Here’s what matters next:
🔹 $2,315–$2,360: Buyers need to defend this zone to keep a recovery scenario alive.
🔹 $2,475–$2,515: Reclaiming this range would be the first meaningful sign of renewed bullish momentum.
Until ETH recovers this resistance zone, the risk of further downside remains.
Support is the level to watch. The next move depends on how buyers respond.

I’ve been watching one person’s live trading leaderboard since July—she was ranked 68th then, and 38th yesterday. In the same market, a batch of traders had already blown up their accounts, while she climbed 30 places.
Shu Qin is the one on my list. She closed all her short-term positions during the 87,000 move. I checked Pengu (Fat Penguin): from 0.01 to 0.0074, down 25%; only now is she starting to buy back.
She says negative premium is a buying opportunity—I can’t vouch for that. The position is right there; you decide.
A. Follow and buy in batches | B. Wait for the premium to turn positive

Honestly, there’s something about $SPX 6900 that just hits different.
It’s not just about the price or the next big pump. It’s about being part of something that most people still don’t understand.
I like the idea of believing in a meme, a community, and a vision.
People laugh. People doubt. That’s part of the game.
But imagine sticking around, watching the community grow, and one day looking back at how it all started.
Maybe we’re crazy. Maybe we’re early. Maybe both. 😂
6900 > 500. 🗿
BELIEVE IN SOMETHING. $SPX6900 🚀
