Damn, guys,
It kept hovering around 28, so I closed all my short positions.
I placed 15 sell orders at 4036/4040, but not a single one filled🤦‍♂️
Take profit still looks like 3980; if today's low breaks, the decline will continue📉 to around 3050.
Too bad, otherwise we could have caught it🥩$XAUUSD ‌

Looking back, recent midterm years have been brutally bearish for BTC.
2018: BCH hash wars. BTC lost roughly half its value in just over a month.
2022: FTX halted withdrawals on election day. BTC plunged roughly 25% in a matter of days.
Now we have AI models causing havoc online, and what do you know—midterms are right around the corner…
I’m a bull. But I also believe in Murphy’s law:
“Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.”
Especially when trading perps.
I’d go easy on the leverage for the next month or so.
Just in case.

You can't keep a nasty woman like this!
If she can't even hold in shit, how can she hold a huge cock?

ETHEREUM JUST CALLED OFF THE GLAMSTERDAM TESTNET FORK, 3 DAYS BEFORE LAUNCH 👾
Core devs pulled the Hoodi testnet activation set for Oct 26 at 17:42 UTC during Thursday's ACDE #248 call, and the Ethereum Foundation confirmed it on Oct 22. The planned raise of Hoodi's gas limit to 200M is gone too, and no new date is set. The reason is EIP-8037, the change that reprices creating new state. ChainSecurity showed that with EIP-8038 it can leave some existing contracts with more or less gas than they expect, so a failed step may get recorded for good instead of reverting, or a new storage write may

Went out for the day, and the market is still at the same level. 822 hasn't broken through either.
So boring.

As you can see, it is technically at its lowest level since 2015. During that time, the market went through the pandemic and rate hike cycles. This time, the excuse is that AI spending could stop! nonsense

I've nearly doubled my account in four days. After four pullbacks yesterday, I only made 3u; today, I'm at around 300. I'll make a few more trades, then wait until Monday to trade

India's 10-year bond yield just hit 7.44%, its highest level since November 2022.
The stock market is feeling it:
- Sensex at 72,519
- Nifty at 22,427
- Nifty is more than 10% below its August high
- RBI rejected every bid at a ₹23,000 crore T-bill auction
Rising yields and falling equities at the same time are putting pressure on risk assets globally.

Why Does It Get Harder to Break Even After Consecutive Losses?
In the trading market, many people have experienced this:
Their account is down 10%, and they think it is no big deal—they can just earn it back.
Down 20%, they start to panic and want to increase their position size to break even faster.
Down 30%, they start trading frequently, trying to catch every rebound.
By the time their account has shrunk further, they realize they are trapped in a cycle that is increasingly difficult to escape.
But the truly harsh reality is this: losses and the gains needed to break even are not symmetrica

XRP holds $1.32 support but stays under pressure
Price is trading below the 100-day EMA ($1.34), 50-day EMA ($1.37), and 200-day EMA ($1.38), keeping the near-term bias bearish and rebounds capped. SuperTrend resistance sits at $1.47, while RSI near 42 and a still-negative MACD point to weak buying interest and subdued momentum.
Key levels to watch for any shift in structure.

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

Looks like the trading activity has cooled in both markets, but the measured pullback is much lower in crypto.
Are we gonna be seeing a Consolidation phase ?
