Eyes on war stocks and war ETFs which had a pretty good week. 90% chance it's just defensive hedging (what I did) but sometimes there's something happening not in the news that gets reflected in the charts and only makes sense later.

BREAKING 🚨🚨🚨: $ZBCN is back into the buy zone, another opportunity to load up on the gem.
It is not tim to cry about the price being down, stock up if you are a believe, sell to buyers if you are not!!!

$ARIA I caused this 33% surge. Don’t believe me? Listen to my post-mortem.
That wick at 0.0387 yesterday was a fake buy wall I placed. The instant I pulled the orders, it triggered stop-losses, and retail traders’ coins came tumbling out. I accumulated for a full 40 minutes in the 0.039–0.041 range, with barely over 8M in trading volume—the liquidity was paper-thin. At 10 a.m. today, I used three 500,000 U wash trades to push the price above 0.048. The momentum traders rushed in; of the 50.2M volume, I contributed less than 30%—the rest was all buyers chasing the price. That upper wick at 0.05

$HYPE
It’s fallen to the bottom of the range and you still dare to add shorts? Open interest is up more than 10% in a week, yet the price has crashed this hard—the bears are jumping into a pit of their own making 😏 Don’t chase shorts at the bottom. A rebound is the bulls’ chance to get out; don’t buy into a spike 😤

The 2-year Treasury is at an interesting level. An actual rate hike might not even push yields higher. The front end has already priced in a lot of tightening, and the spread is nearing 90 bps. Another 25 bps might not even be enough to budge yields. When liquidity is thinnest in the early hours, that’s when you’re most likely to see a wick—and the bond market is no different. What does the curve look like on your end?

$ZEC is trading at 1,085.98 USDT, down 4.24% in 24 hours, but 1-hour trading participation is only 0.07x. This seems somewhat unusual because the price has moved, but volume has not clearly followed. The current price is already close to the 1-hour support level at 1,076.86, while the 1-hour resistance level at 1,163.24 still lies ahead.
I’d rather wait for the price to stop making new lows than treat oversold conditions as a rebound signal. Oversold simply means the price has fallen a lot, but it doesn’t mean a bottom is in. Rebound demand has increased, but if the price breaks below 1,076.86

Retail investor: Nasdaq $Q just had its worst week since June. You buying the dip?
Me: Not every dip is a buy
Retail investor: wait what? I thought you were the "stay invested guy"
Me: I am. I’m not selling anything. But “should I throw a bunch of NEW money at it” is a different question
Retail investor: ok so is it a buy
Me: My stock sheet has $Q & $VOO about 5% above fair value right now. Even after this week.
Retail investor: so it’s still expensive??
Me: A little. The market ran hot & now it’s pulling back. It’s closer to fair, not a fire sale
Retail investor: so what do you do
Me: Keep bu

Tagged 208.10, now 171.68, sitting right around the 99.
MAs: 172.78 right under price, 175.77 and 184.07 overhead.
Volume quieter than the push off 139. Range today roughly 170.30–174.22.
Watching 172.78 as the line. Lose it clean and the fade continues. Hold it and 208 stays the reference.
Just the chart. Not a call.

WARNING: Is Black Monday approaching? October 19 could be a difficult day for global markets! U.S. Treasuries held by China and Japan, rising U.S. bond yields, and tensions in the Middle East have heightened fears of a major market sell-off. If borrowing costs continue to rise, stocks, cryptocurrencies, and other assets could face greater pressure. Is a major crash imminent, or is the market overreacting? There is no clear answer yet, but I will closely monitor market conditions at Monday’s open. Stay alert, don’t panic! $M l $BTC l $SNDK

We're so back it's so over

CryptoQuant CEO: $30K Bitcoin floor even if ETFs and treasury firms exit
Bitcoin could find support near $30,000 even if institutional investors unwind their accumulated exposure, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju argues.
The scenario would require reversing roughly $58 billion in net inflows to US spot Bitcoin ETFs and selling the 1.3 million BTC publicly traded companies have accumulated. Yet Ju believes Bitcoin's on-chain investor cost basis would still support prices about three times Mike McGlone's $10,000 crash forecast.
