#AltcoinOISurpassesBitcoinforFirstTimeinOveraYear Open Interest Surpasses Bitcoin for the First Time in Over a Year
The crypto derivatives market is showing a major shift in trader positioning. For the first time since December 2024, total open interest in altcoin perpetual futures has moved above Bitcoin. This is more than a simple market statistic. It highlights how traders are increasingly willing to take leveraged exposure outside the largest cryptocurrency.
Open interest represents the total value of outstanding futures contracts that have not yet been closed or settled. When altcoin ope

Everyone is missing the obvious short setup on $ESPORTS /USDT right now.

$ESPORTS /USDT - SHORT

Trade Plan:
Entry: 0.01472 – 0.01480
SL: 0.01511
TP1: 0.01450
TP2: 0.01433
TP3: 0.01406

Why this setup?
Why now? The daily trend is bearish, giving us a macro tailwind, while the 1h price sits at 0.01476 inside our entry zone between 0.01472 and 0.01480. The 1h RSI at 51.71 shows weak momentum without being oversold, meaning we are not chasing a dead move. The 1h ATR of 0.000145 defines the current noise, so our targets of 0.01450 and 0.01433 are realistic measured moves. The line in the sand

I see no reason to change course until a clean break in market structure.
Until that happens, sticking to the plan, as always.

I casually tapped refresh, and it went up on its own, leaving me in a very passive position.

Before bed, my last thought was still whether this level really counted as the bottom. Then, a few days ago in the afternoon, it quietly began a move. Just when you think there’s no chance, it insists on putting on a dramatic comeback. $ASTER repeatedly tested the waters around 0.6658 at the time. I saw through it: the lack of follow-through in volume was just an illusion; the real signal was the sideways consolidation at the bottom. Capital never enters with drums and fanfare. By the time you notice

The Root Cause of Investors’ Losses
—On Investing, Impermanence, and the Nonexistent “I”
I still remember that garden. It was not on any page of any map, nor did it belong to any monarch I had ever studied. Some said it had fallen into ruin; others said it had never been built. But I knew it truly existed, because I had spent an evening there. That evening lasted longer than an overnight gap after going all in.
I entered through a small path. At first, there was only one. Later, it split into two. Later still, four. When I looked back, the path I had come by had disappeared. I stood among coun

I just switched the software to the background, and it shot right back up—are you playing hide-and-seek with me?
When I opened the chart this morning, it was still moving sluggishly. I saw that the bids at the base hadn’t dissipated, and the bottoming sideways pattern was unmistakable. I knew it was the signal before a big move, so I decisively bought according to plan.
And the result? $LIT surged from 1.117 all the way to 4.496, and the chart gave us the answer. This was a satisfying bite, with current unrealized gains of +14608.83%. It’s not that I had foresight—the market insisted on feedi

Nobody is talking about the hidden trap inside $TAO /USDT right now.

$TAO /USDT - SHORT

Trade Plan:
Entry: 262.9 – 265.7
SL: 277.7
TP1: 254.3
TP2: 247.6
TP3: 237.6

Why this setup?
Why now? The 1h price is sitting at 264.3, which is the exact entry_ref for a SHORT setup inside a tight 262.9 to 265.7 zone. The 1h ATR of 5.565661 tells us the volatility is compressed, so a breakout from this range could be explosive. Meanwhile, the 15m RSI at 41.26 shows bearish momentum without being oversold, meaning the down move has room to run toward TP1 at 254.3 and TP2 at 247.6. The daily trend is ra
