I’m going to share my story because I hope it helps someone out there avoid making the same mistake.
Since early 2026, my plan was simple: spot-buy BTC, ETH, and SOL at lower levels starting around $50K because there was a lot of talk about Bitcoin potentially dropping below $50K in October.
Then in August, when BTC was around $64K I thought, “Why not open a small short and make some profit to buy more spot?”
The market went up. I lost. Instead of accepting the loss, I opened another short, convinced myself it was a bull trap. Then another. And another.
Eventually, I lost around $15,000. From there I fell into revenge trading, kept trying to recover my losses and ultimately lost my entire life savings.
The lesson is: if your plan or strategy fails don’t FOMO and keep trading emotionally. Stop. Stop. Stop. Step away. Take your time and reassess everything VERY CAREFULLY before making another decision.
It’s easy to say and incredibly hard to do when you’re in the middle of it. The market will always be there. There will always be another opportunity. But your money can disappear very quickly.
I lost the savings I had worked hard to build over the years, money I believed could have doubled or tripled during the next bull run. Now I have to start from scratch, and I currently don’t have a source of income.
I just hope sharing this helps someone else avoid making the same mistake. It still feels so unreal like I’m living through a nightmare.
I got hit really hard. Trading is dangerous and revenge trading can have very serious consequences😭now it’s time to build again from scratch Please guys pray for me🙏🏻
Sui Network has reportedly reached an astonishing 40 million transactions per second (TPS) during its live performance test at Sui Basecamp 2026 in Singapore, potentially setting a new benchmark for blockchain transaction throughput.
The result would represent a massive jump from Sui’s previous record of 6,086,766 TPS, achieved during a July 4 experiment involving AI agents, payments, gaming and programmable tunnels.
📈 The numbers: • Previous Sui record: 6.09M TPS • Latest reported result: ~40M TPS • Increase: ~6.6× • Previous controlled benchmark: 297,000 TPS • Test location: Marina Bay Sands, Singapore • Event: Sui Basecamp 2026 • Independent verification: CertiK
The July experiment already demonstrated more than 6 million TPS using Sui’s programmable tunnels, which allow high-frequency activity to occur off-chain before settling on Sui.
This new test is specifically designed to push beyond that record and demonstrate the throughput Sui believes will be required for an economy increasingly driven by AI agents making autonomous transactions.
Sui has positioned the test around the idea that future AI agents could transact continuously at machine speed — making extremely high throughput increasingly important for payments, trading, gaming and other autonomous applications.
⚠️ Important: The ~40M TPS figure is currently a reported live-test result. The official Sui result and CertiK’s independent verification should be considered the definitive confirmation.
If officially confirmed, Sui would have increased its demonstrated peak throughput from roughly 6.1M to 40M TPS in just three months.
That would be a significant technical milestone for SUI.
$XRP is waiting for confirmation that BTC’s reclaim of $86K will hold. If BTC holds above $86K, XRP could move sharply higher, potentially reaching $1.60–$1.80 as early as today or tomorrow.
$BTC has made a triple tap at $87K and been rejected hard each time. Yet this is already the fourth attempt in a very short period, which tells me buyers are still in control while profit-taking is taking place.
Eventually, I expect $87K to break, with $94K and $97K as the next key targets. The overall structure remains very bullish.
I expect $BTC weekly candle to close above the $82.2K May high which would be a strong bullish signal heading into next week.
However, don’t expect the market to pump straight toward a new high immediately. There is still a cluster of overleveraged long positions that could be cleared first. A minor liquidity sweep in the $82K–$84K area wouldn’t surprise me before the next major move higher. The structure remains highly bullish but that doesn’t mean there won’t be volatility or pullbacks along the way.
Most importantly: don’t over-leverage. There’s no point being right about the direction and still getting liquidated before the move happens. Protect your capital, manage your position size, and leave enough room for volatility.
Don’t let greed turn a winning setup into a liquidation. Stay disciplined, manage your risk, and let the market come to you.
I wish everyone a productive and successful week ahead❤️
If $BTC closes this week above the May high at $82.2K, it would be a strong bullish signal heading into Q4 opening the door for a move toward a new 2026 high.
Keep an eye on this level as a confirmed breakout could have a significant impact across the altcoin market.
Bitcoin is still showing a bullish structure on the higher timeframes (4H & Daily) with the broader trend remaining intact and key support levels being respected. However, the short-term market has become increasingly choppy. $BTC and most altcoins are moving sideways with sharp intraday swings rather than establishing a clean directional move. This looks more like a resting phase after the recent strong move. That does not automatically mean the trend is over. In fact, consolidation can be healthy if BTC continues to hold its key support levels.
The problem is the leverage. During these periods, liquidity can become the main target: highly leveraged longs and shorts can both be forced out by relatively small moves before the market chooses a clear direction. This is why chasing every breakout or dip right now can be dangerous. For now, I would rather wait for confirmation than force an entry.
What I’m watching: • BTC holding the major support zone with this week close above 82k • A clean breakout with sustained spot volume • Whether BTC can continue making higher lows • Whether altcoins and $ETH start following BTC with stronger momentum • A reduction in excessive leverage before the next major move
The bigger picture remains bullish, but the short-term structure is not clean enough for me to treat every move as a confirmed breakout. Patience is a position too. Wait for the market to show its hand.
Interesting market behavior yesterday. Bitcoin reached around $84.5K but the move didn’t generate the aggressive follow-through many including me were expecting. One reason is that short exposure was reduced quickly, with a significant portion of positions either closed, liquidated, or repositioned.
That effectively reduced the amount of short liquidity available to fuel a larger squeeze. With fewer shorts trapped above the market, there was less forced buying pressure to drive BTC rapidly toward $88K.
This is why it’s important to watch positioning and liquidity, not just the price chart. A bullish breakout can lose momentum if the market has already cleared much of the leverage on the opposite side.
For now, I’m watching how BTC behaves around the $84–85K area for the next meaningful signal.

Quick update: If $BTC reaches $84.5K and holds the level, I’d consider a long position. For altcoins, I’d recommend waiting for confirmation above $85K before entering. A confirmed breakout could trigger a short squeeze and potentially drive $BTC toward $88K very quickly.
Manage your leverage, use a clear stop-loss, and size your position appropriately. If BTC loses the $82k support level, this setup is invalidated.
