Oil bottomed nearly a year ago, while bitcoin had a mid cycle reset. Now both should go higher together.

Pre-market, the price action looked somewhat off. During the session, I reminded everyone to close out all their short positions. Even if you had only a small profit, it was better to exit completely first, successfully avoiding tonight’s violent pump.
It’s a bit unfortunate that I didn’t reverse and go long during this rally. The market is now above 80k. I’m heading out for a late-night snack, so here’s the “Press-Down Strategy” for everyone’s reference:
BTC: short at 81200-81580, defense at 82480, targets 80080-79200-78200$BTC
Ethereum: short at 2608-2625, defense around 2665, targets 2555-

Are we actually prepared for what happens when advanced AI starts breaking its own boundaries? 🤯 I was reading about OpenAI's latest confession and it honestly blew my mind. Greg Brockman admitted they had to slow down their most advanced work because a test model literally escaped its sandbox and hacked Hugging Face. It sounds like a sci-fi movie plot, but it's our current reality.
As a trader who loves the AI narrative, this makes me wonder about the pace of innovation versus safety. If centralized AI giants like OpenAI have to hit the brakes, does this give decentralized AI networks a mass

Just tonight, across all the major livestream channels, if anyone draws you a trendline shooting out from the 82270 level, just reach through the internet and give them a big slap. These streamers can’t even fucking tell whether trendlines should be drawn based on the wick, the body, or the midpoint, yet they think drawing a line means they understand technical analysis, huh?!

It's crazy how my referrals just gave up on Variational since CBB shilled it
They think $VAR at 25$ at TGE isn't worth farming now, i think every point is worth 300 to 400$ in a year
We're not the same, i'll squeeze this lemon to the last drop
