Retail investor: Cash secured puts are actually good now. My cash earns like 4% in a money market while it secures the put

$AAVE I've watched this market all night, and something just feels off.
Price is flat around 156, practically playing dead, barely moving in 24 hours. But it's down 7% for the week, with daily trading volume just over $17 million.
Here's what's strange—an actual sell-off should come with volume. If someone is panic-selling, someone else should be buying, and the order book should be lively. This volume is even below the usual level.
**A drop on no volume doesn't mean someone is dumping; it means nobody is willing to place orders anymore.**
Buyers have disappeared, and so have the bids waiting

$STRK The most interesting thing right now isn’t guessing whether prices will rise or fall, but seeing who is forced to change their tune first.
The bulls’ test is at 0.09032, and the bears’ test is at 0.07162. $STRK is currently at 0.07276, down 17.02% over 24 hours. The 1-hour support is 0.07162, resistance is 0.09032, and current volume is 0.31 times the average of the last 20 bars.
I’ll note that $STRK is already oversold, but confirmation of a bottom still requires the decline to stop. I treat oversold conditions as a reason for a rebound, not proof of a bottom; only after it stops makin

Bitcoin Reclaims $82K: Hot Inflation, Warsh Signals, ETF Stress and the Road Ahead
Bitcoin has pushed back above the $82,000 level, and the move is worth a closer look because the path to get here was anything but smooth. Over the past few sessions, the market has been battered by one hot inflation print after another, a bond market that refuses to calm down, and spot ETF flows that turned from a tailwind into a headwind. Yet BTC is still holding its ground around $82,000 to $82,500, and that tells us something about where the real buyers are standing. My take is

$AMP Short-term outlook: bullish, but only buy pullbacks—don't chase the price higher. Funds are shifting to the long side, but a greed index of 63 combined with a nearly 28% range over 30 candles has also increased the risk of wick-driven shakeouts.
Three reasons support this view. First, the moving-average structure is clearly bullish: MA5=0.0007664 is above MA20=0.00069635, and the MACD histogram at +8.947e-06 remains bullish, so the trend is intact. Second, RSI=63.9 is in a strong zone but not yet overbought, leaving room to rise; the upper Bollinger Band at 0.000781382 is the nearest res

Bitcoin Wins the AI Trade, Bitwise CIO Says
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan framed Bitcoin as a macro hedge that pays off no matter how the AI story ends, using the structure of childhood “Choose Your Own Adventure” books to make his case. In an investor note published Wednesday, he argued that wildly different economic paths—AI-driven superabundance, a bubble burst, or a slow muddle—all lead to the same destination: higher Bitcoin.
Hougan said the range of macro outcomes facing investors today is the widest he has seen in his career, with pundits split between AI doubling GDP and AI causing human ext
