Yesterday 62.7, now 64.5—the price has passed the top edge of the box. The long/short ratio fell from 2.2 to 1.5 in one day. Price is rising, yet everyone is actually short.
The less anyone believes, the better the show. I’m waiting to see how this batch of shorts gets squeezed.
AI faith has slimmed down this week AVGO down 8%, NVDA almost unchanged Money only willing to stay with the big boss
When AVGO fell this round, I pored over it for a long time No earnings report, no scandal Just being slowly sold through
A drop without reason is scarier than one with a reason With a reason: bad news is already priced in Without a reason: someone ran first The basket of AI has narrowed to just one remaining star—NVIDIA
The market calls this “safe.” I call it “fragile.” I won’t add to my position with this kind of move NVIDIA sneezes, and the whole sector catches a cold too
SEC this week canceled Reg Crypto Turning around, Trump's World Liberty has obtained a banking license
Paper regulation keeps getting delayed Licenses are still being issued
This week BTC moved from 64902 down to 63021 and didn’t drop 3% Three weekly candles: the highs keep getting lower, the lows keep getting higher, and the range keeps tightening the closer the close For the first time this month, the ETF saw net outflows for two consecutive days
Every time it gets delayed, the market doesn’t even splash Good news or bad news can’t move it, and volatility is almost gone Pushed to this level, the next big K-line isn’t far off I’m not betting on it going up—first I’ll see where it drops
The index hits a new high—someone slashed AVGO by one knife
SPY is only 0.1% away from its 52-week high; no one’s panicking Broadcom dropped 4% today, directly smashing it down to 400 In the same hour, SOXX is still green
The sector overall didn’t move—only that one got hammered down This AI chip trade is splitting; days of blindly buying the whole basket are over. Now you have to pick names
On Friday, if you’re holding a single stock like AVGO, I’ll cut half first Keep cash over the weekend and reassess on Monday

Reg Crypto, after waiting for so long, said they’re canceling—just like that SEC’s first crypto rule, and now we have to wait again No new date even provided The market has been hoping for compliant rollout, so institutions can move in But when it comes to compliance, it’s always just one step short 63K is stuck there—no one dares to make the first move
Gold being sold—money all rushing into tech VIX has dipped back to 14—no one wants to hedge NVDA is once again topping 226—only ten percent away from a new 52-week high This AI rally isn’t over yet; it catches its breath in the middle, then keeps climbing The hardest part is being in cash—watching it rise every day, too afraid to chase I’ll keep holding—no messing around
Monday hit 63.2K, Tuesday keeps falling Today bounced back to 64K
It’s been three days—something is becoming increasingly clear The sell orders are exhausting
The bearish candle on Monday had the heaviest volume Tuesday had less volume by a notch Today’s is even lighter If it really breaks down, it wouldn’t move like this
I didn’t sell This week should be able to return to 65K
BTC three days and three bearish candles, moving from 64,900 to 63,700 The long/short ratio is still stuck at 1.8 Gold hits a new high at 4,431; haven flows are running. Crypto is still waiting for a V-reversal
But this time is different The 64K level broke too quietly. Last time it was this quiet—then the next move down is 10%
On the weekend the couch collapsed a bit after I flipped it over this week
SMH up 10% this week—semiconductors are finally real money returning NVDA hit 224 on Friday, but it still has a ways to go before the 236 high—the leader hasn’t been fully confirmed yet
QQQ +5% SPY up about $3 and breaking to a new high VIX 14.9 nobody’s afraid But gold is also up 2.3%—risk hedging and risk-on are both being priced at the same time; this combo is uncommon
I’m bullish, but I don’t dare to increase position size—VIX being so low is the only thing that makes me uneasy Next week it’ll come down to whether SPY can break 777; more likely than not, it’ll just be dragged
SOX was up 8% in a week BTC churned for 5 days to get 2% The main character has been replaced
In the U.S., July saw 23,000 jobs lost Stocks still rise as usual Rate-cut expectations took over everything BTC dumped from 62,300 to climbed to 64,900
In crypto, Trump tore into CRO; Bybit provoked North Korea BTC doesn’t care about any of that Money is flowing into U.S. stocks
SOX outperformed BTC by 8x Rate cuts + a weaker dollar are bullish for risk assets BTC hasn’t taken the baton yet Next week, if it can’t break 65,300, it’ll still have to keep flowing into U.S. stocks Drag it— but drag it upward
