The thing that ignites has already started to turn back—very few people have noticed.
The Ministry of Finance bought back long-term bonds, doubling them: the 30-year yield was smashed from 5.34 to 5.18, blowing up short positions totaling $4 billion.
One buyback, and the market priced it as the prelude to YCC.
Now yields have bounced back to 5.28. The fuel is burned out—I’m not chasing it.
Sham Celebrations, It Was Over in a Day XRP surged 15 yesterday, and today it gave back 7 points. Anyone who chased the top is all buried halfway up the hillside. BTC at 79.5K—there are only 500 left to 80K, so I won’t touch it.
Chip boss is falling while gold skyrockets—this week’s money picked a side
Gold prices jumped from 4516 to 4680 in a single day, up more than three points Gold miner leader Newmont rose 3 points, closing at 131—only three away from the new high of 134
Nvidia fell 1 point on Friday. The whole market was green-to-red, and the leader was red The Dow outperformed the Nasdaq—money is going into defense Gold and U.S. stocks are flying together. I’ll put a question mark on that for now Next week I won’t chase this gold move—I’ll just watch where it goes
80K is right within reach, yet I don’t want to board
BTC rose from 63K to 79.5K within a week. On Monday, it kept hovering around 63K. On Wednesday, one big volume candle broke through 70K—then after that, it made new highs every day, never giving a pullback the whole way.
Altcoins are only getting crazy now: XRP is up 15% in a day, DOGE is up 13% in a day. And at the end, it’s always the most lively.
The profit goes to those who chase the high. This week I’m staying in cash, watching from the sidelines—no panic at all.
Walmart’s earnings look pretty good, yet the stock price just crashed First reaction—did I read the numbers wrong? The profit includes a $2.9 billion tariff refund—like a one-time bonus Strip away that layer, and same-store sales are up only 2.6%—the slowest in six years The retail king that’s outperformed Amazon for five years—today it finally shows Consumption may be running out first, while the broader market is still acting like nothing’s wrong
No one dares to chase, and no one dares to short. BTC has ground from 64 to 72. Spot is absorbing while leverage is sleeping. This kind of rally—backed by futures—is going hard. If it pulls back, I’ll buy.
1.4 billion short sellers buried — ETH surged 18% in one day The strongest candle in the past five months BTC even touched $70,000 — the first time since June On Sunday the market was still cursing bears, and it flipped in three days The mastermind is the U.S. Treasury — long bond repo doubled I won’t chase, but at this time shorting is basically asking for death
All the money has gone to chase copycats—nobody’s looking after BTC. It broke through the upper limit at 64.6K, but it still hasn’t filled in with even a decent bullish candle. The funding rate is stuck at zero, and the OI is still dropping. This market talks like it wants 5x or 10x, but the breakout is so slow that nobody’s watching. I don’t trust it—I’m keeping my bullets.
I’m not at all worried about this semiconductor drop. AMD sold off right at the open—down 6%. NVDA is only down 2%. Over the past year and a half, whenever semiconductors move, it’s always NVDA leading the way. This time it’s the opposite—AMD is leading the selloff downward. Gold is still rising, while the Dow is only down 0.6%. This is rotation—money moving from story stocks to hard assets. If NVDA can hold up, I still don’t believe AI trading is over. When it actually breaks down, I’ll consider going short. At this level, I’m not buying AMD. The water hasn’t fully drained yet.
Tom Lee’s Bitmine has already bought 4.8% of the circulating ETH supply. Every week it’s still adding—aiming for 5%. On the same day, ETH gave back all of its morning gains; XRP broke below $1. Retail investors are running—while he is quietly accumulating his buy orders. On my side, I have positions; on the other side, there are...
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.
The more this market drops, the more people go long.
The long/short ratio has jumped to 2.2. Out of ten accounts, seven are betting on a rebound.
BTC is stuck at 62.7K and can’t get back up.
A slow blade has ground for six days. It hasn’t collapsed—there’s just no strength left to rise. No one is cutting losses; the floating supply hasn’t been cleaned up yet.
I won’t catch this knife. I’ll wait for these 70% of longs to finally let go first.
Long-Short Ratio 2.05: When it comes to big pie, they can't break into new highs 67% bet on the rise—price has been grinding at 63K for six weeks This week’s range is under $3,000; it’s the narrowest in six weeks
ETH is stuck at 1882; no altcoin dares to move An altcoin nobody is touching is liquidity that nobody is taking
Next week, two numbers 65391 = this week’s high 62535 = this week’s low Break which one, and it’ll move in that direction
I’m leaning lower Friday said that pile of longs was fuel Now that fuel is even thicker
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
