Went long on Bitcoin and Ethereum late last night and in the early hours, then continued shorting today; both long and short trades remain profitable

The midday and evening calls played out perfectly! The spike and pullback unfolded as expected. We’re now at a key area—don’t rush; wait patiently. The rebound is just a correction; next, watch for continued downside. Staying steady is winning. $XAU

#BTCDropsBelow81000
🚨📉 Bitcoin Drops Below $81,000 — Crypto Market Faces Renewed Selling Pressure! ₿
The cryptocurrency market is attracting attention as Bitcoin ($BTC ) falls below the important $81,000 level. This price movement highlights the ongoing volatility in the digital asset market and raises questions about whether buyers will step in to support the price or sellers will continue to dominate the short-term trend.
📉 Why Is the $81,000 Level Important?
Bitcoin's movement around major psychological price levels can influence market sentiment. When BTC falls below a widely watched le

gotten some criticism lately for not posting actionable trade ideas
“your name is ‘Trader’ Mercury, where are the trades?”
lol.
a few things:
- I am not your paid group leader.
when I was posting actionable ideas at the lows, many of you were too bearpilled to care:
- posted ETH and was told I was delusional for thinking it could ever catch a bid (vitalik selling + ETH is dead), now 60% higher
- posted that I bought more BTC at ~60k and added to my investment account for the longterm and got criticized that it was a hedged post (I explicitly said: “I bought more for the first time in years”)

#USTechStocksSellOff
US Tech Stocks Sell Off: Is the AI Rally Losing Momentum or Is This a Temporary Correction?
Introduction: Wall Street Faces Renewed Selling Pressure
The US technology sector is facing renewed attention as investors reassess stock valuations, artificial intelligence (AI) spending, corporate earnings expectations, and the broader economic outlook.

$SNDK Opens high and trends lower; losses may widen premarket🔥
SanDisk has recovered premarket, but isn’t particularly strong and can’t even hold above 1300. Volatility at the open is muted, with bulls and bears locked in battle, but the overall outlook remains bearish.
It’s already difficult to hold the opening levels. Even if prices are forcibly pushed higher, they’ll still plunge toward the close. Bulls are now limited to passive defense. Prices will eventually fall and liquidate longs near 1244.
Bears are unlikely to choose to attack at this level again. SanDisk may get a breather and mov

MSCI cuts off the “buy-crypto flywheel”! $MU rebounds to 870—is this an escape or a reversal?
The truth behind the drop: The long-term trend continues to weaken, expectations for macro rate cuts are cooling, and CXMT’s announcement of next-generation server memory directly challenges Micron on its home turf. Tech stocks are being sold off, BTC has fallen below 82k, and funds are being systematically pulled out of altcoins.
The current “pullback” to 868 is merely a technical recovery after being oversold. The 1-hour MACD’s golden cross below zero is weak, and 870–875 is a dense resistance zone

$AGT Still hoping to break new highs is pure wishful thinking; trading volume is less than half of that on each of the past few days. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 will soon crash. This shitcoin doesn't even have spot trading.
