The Nasdaq fell 4.5% in a week, and the honeymoon period for AI stocks is facing its first real test. Don’t rush to call it a crash. Wall Street hasn’t stopped believing in AI—it’s starting to ask, “When will we get our money back?” That’s only natural. After all these years, position sizing is always more important than calling the market’s direction. Where are you setting your stop-loss? #USStocks

Cipher’s $850M AI Bet Draws Scrutiny as Bitcoin Miner Stock Plunges 52%
Bitcoin miner Cipher Digital is facing mounting financial pressure after issuing 40.7 million shares and raising $850 million in fresh convertible debt to fund an aggressive AI expansion.
The company’s shares closed at $8.98 on Oct. 16, down 10.6% for the session and at their lowest level since September 2025, according to Yahoo Finance. Over the past year, Cipher’s stock has lost more than 52% of its value, reflecting investor skepticism about its expensive pivot into high-performance computing infrastructure.

Everyone in the group is calling for a rally, so I’m going contrarian. Look back at the history of trade wars: in every bull or bear market, policy shifts first and volume confirms it later. Funding rates have been positive for three days straight, meaning longs are paying shorts. Chasing longs at this level is just helping someone else cash out. Something they didn’t do during 20 months of having full control—why would they do it only after the midterms? I don’t buy that narrative. If you see it differently, share your reasoning.

$SOL I’m watching a different angle. SkyAI sold all the SOL it held and is now using cash to offer to buy back up to 95% of its shares and warrants. When a company sells off all its crypto for cash, that basically means it’s no longer betting on it. SOL is currently at 104.53, up 34% from 90 days ago but only up 20% from six months ago—and down 6% over the past 30 days. Others see this as a crypto bet unwound; I see another batch of tokens hitting the market and adding selling pressure. There’s no narrative to hype here. People watching know the score: how big a position you can take is up to

#LatviaPassesCryptoTaxLaw Latvia's new crypto tax law: two mechanisms, one common mistake to avoid
Latvia's parliament passed its crypto tax amendments on October 15, and the headlines make it sound like one simple 10% tax. It is not. The law contains two separate mechanisms that work very differently, plus a third idea that has not become law yet. Here is the clean version.
Mechanism one: the investment account
The amendments permit an investment-account model for crypto-assets, in which tax applies only when withdrawals from the account exceed the amount originally invested, and individual t

$PI I placed a sell order for 0.2. How long do you think it'll take to execute? I guess it'll go through soon.

I previously analyzed why I entered a short position on Bitcoin around 83,100. Our Bitcoin short is still up more than 1,000 points, and I’ve already taken profit on half of it and set a breakeven stop-loss. I feel there may be one more rally, even though I’m currently holding a short position. For Bitcoin to truly break below 80,000, a large number of profitable short positions will need to be wiped out. There are massive short stop-loss orders around 84,500, and the major players, looking to unload their holdings, will surely find a way to wipe out these profitable positions before accelerat

The initial setup of the quantitative visualization workbench is complete and it is currently being tested

I just entered an initial long position. I see BTC at 84 tomorrow and ETH at 2,500 tomorrow. The Dow Theory structure and Wyckoff volume-price relationship currently support this entry logic and its expected probability, so there’s nothing to fear.

The Roadster really took flight, but the highest-flying thing was a $TSLA ‌Meme coin called FTR

On October 15, I watched the Tesla Roadster launch livestream at my computer. Musk stood at SpaceX’s engine test site in Texas. Behind him, the prototype car raced up a curved, inverted ramp, drove upside down along the wall, then left the ramp, completed a roll in midair, and landed smoothly. I watched the whole demonstration three times, with just one thought on my mind: if this thing can really be mass-produced, it will completely change the rules of the auto industry.‌
