After going through forty-eight candles, there’s one I’m not comfortable fast-forwarding through.
A wick spike.
The 05:00 candle plunged to 1214.16, while the previous one was still above 1297.
Volume picked up: 1.17 million in a single hour, compared with just 35,000 in the previous one.
It rebounded to 1269.44 over the next three hours, but has now slid back to 1257.97.
The peak at 1408.95 was reached at 13:00 on 10-16; after that, each high kept moving lower.
$SNDK In forty hours, it went from 1408.95 to 1214.16, a drop of 13.8%.
As usual: a low formed on heavy volume only counts if it hold

Planning to open the next trade at 2360 with a 1:1.5 risk-reward ratio

The Nasdaq has started a correction. A weekly bearish divergence is a correction signal, and this correction could be somewhat stronger. It is a multi-timeframe confluence signal, with support at 25,600-24,300-23,800
The question to consider here is: will a U.S. stock market correction spill over to other assets? ❓️
U.S. Treasury yields: The 10-year yield is around 5.09–5.10%, near its highest levels in recent years, putting sustained pressure on high-valuation, long-duration risk assets (tech stocks and crypto)
U.S. Dollar Index: Around 101.8, neutral to firm, with no extreme appreciation

$STRK This 12.86% plunge is a high-risk game, so I placed a limit order at 0.0635 and picked up the first batch. First, a position update: I’m currently flat and waiting for an entry. I closed yesterday’s short from 0.0710 at 0.0652 to take profit, capturing most of this drop. The 24h low of 0.0631 landed right at the lower edge of a previous high-volume trading zone. Turnover of 148.9M is clearly up, suggesting that some buyers are picking up coins amid the panic selling. But the large bearish candle from 0.0747 to 0.0631 had no meaningful rebound, so short-term sentiment remains bearish.

Entry: 4164 – 4172 (Short)
SL: 4182

Gold is struggling to recover after rejection from 4205.65. Buyers look weak, and sellers are defending the recovery.
As long as 4182 holds, another downside move remains possible.

$CT I took the full -12.73% hit on this move: entered at 0.385, cut at 0.34, down 11 points. The post-mortem is simple: greed. Before the Fed minutes, I clearly saw $CT 24h volume shrink to just over 20M and large on-chain transfers start flowing out, but I still fantasized that dovish minutes would spark a rally. Instead, the minutes were hawkish, and $CT plunged straight through 0.35, hitting a low of 0.3155. I set my stop at 0.34 and at least stuck to my discipline, but the entry thesis itself was wrong—loading up on a small-cap token ahead of a macro event; correlation is no excuse, I was

Most people are focused on a tariff breakthrough. I think the market will drop first. The court has ruled, but the tariff agenda isn’t dead—it’s just lost its easiest path. After doing this for so long, I know position sizing is always more important than calling direction. Let’s compare notes this weekend.

BTC’s battle to defend 80,000 goes into overtime after Warsh’s remarks

Before Warsh’s remarks, BTC seesawed between 80,443 and 82,000. After he began speaking, the price saw no sharp moves—because there were no unexpectedly hawkish or dovish signals. As I write this post, BTC is hovering around 80,800.

Why is the 80,000 level so important? I looked at a few data points.

The first is the ETF cost basis. The average cost basis for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs is around $81,500. BTC has fallen below this level, meaning most investors who bought through ETFs are now at a loss. If the price stays b
