Weekend Slow Life: Turn off the K-line and go out for a drive, being in cash is also a strategy

This weekend, I choose to turn off the K-line, bring a tent, and go to the tea gardens outside the city. The market will never change its course because of your chart-watching, but your mood will. At Gate Square, trading is never lonely—even if right now you’re “being in cash, sleeping among the flowers,” it’s still a top-tier strategy.

As for the event topic, let me share my thoughts:

1️⃣ This weekend, do you bet on the market “fully bouncing back” or “continuing to cool down”?
I lean more toward “continuing to cool down.” Last week’s rebound shrank in volume noticeably, and there was a lack of sustained, standout hot spots—it looked more like a technical fix. Macros-wise, CPI data and hawkish remarks from Federal Reserve officials are still suppressing risk appetite. Liquidity over the weekend is usually worse, and there’s no willingness from major funds to launch big moves on the weekend. Rather than expecting a “full bounce back,” it’s better to watch whether support levels are being tested again and again. A real bottom is often ground out, not produced by a V-shaped surge.

2️⃣ Who in your watchlist is quietly building momentum?
My watchlist is divided into three categories:

· ETH: Around $3,000 there’s clear buy support, but you need a volume expansion and a breakout above $3,300 to confirm. Layer 2’s ecosystem activity is picking up again; once the broader market stabilizes, ETH/BTC’s exchange rate may rebound first.
· SOL: Although it has recently followed the broader market pullback, on-chain activity (daily transaction count, number of new addresses) hasn’t dropped significantly. There are signs of long-term accumulation by larger players below $130.
· AI track (like FET, RNDR): Around Nvidia’s earnings, there may be news-driven catalysts that boost this kind of token—high elasticity, suitable for setting up with small positions, but not for going overweight over the weekend.
The ones that quietly build momentum are often those that narrow their declines during broad-market selloffs and trade sideways on shrinking volume—they’re waiting for a volume-expansion bullish candle.

3️⃣ What signals could break the calm that everyone should keep an eye on?
Although liquidity is low on the weekend, black swan events often happen when “no one is watching the market.” You should watch a few signals closely:

· On-chain flows of stablecoins: If USDT/USDC sees large inflows into exchanges, it may indicate smart money laying out positions; conversely, continuous outflows suggest that risk-avoidance sentiment is heating up.
· BTC market share: Currently, BTC.D is ranging around 55%. If it quickly rises and breaks above 57%, it means funds are still flowing into Bitcoin, and the altcoin season is a long way off; if it turns downward, rebound opportunities for altcoins will arrive.
· “Unexpected” macro news: Even though there are no US stock market openings over the weekend, temporary remarks from Fed officials and sudden geopolitical breaking news (such as the situation in the Middle East) can trigger sharp volatility. It’s recommended to set a price alert—for example, automatically remind you when BTC drops below 60000 or rebounds to 63000.
· Futures contract open interest: If open interest doesn’t fall but instead rises over the weekend, it means disagreement between longs and shorts is increasing; when the market opens on Monday, it’s easier to get a clear direction.

My weekend plan: hike in the morning, drink tea and flip through a few pages of “The Realm of Clarity,” then at night use my phone to glance at the price alerts. Trading isn’t everything in life—being in cash to watch the flowers, and falling asleep to the sound of the wind—this is the essence of slow living. Wishing everyone at Gate Square a happy weekend—may you be blessed with good luck and a “jackpot-like” kismet!
