After multiple requests from some followers, I’ve decided to open something private.
What I share publicly is only a fraction of the full picture. The market is a game of liquidity, timing, and understanding. Most people always arrive… too late.
Today, I’m officially opening The Alpha Board, a private group built for those who want to see the move before it happens, not after.
Inside, you’ll get: • Advanced market analysis ($BTC , Stocks, macro) • Key liquidity zones & forward scenarios • Smart money flow breakdowns • Clear market structure insights • Direct access + a serious community
This is NOT a signals group. This is where you build a real edge. If you’re tired of: - following the crowd - entering too late - not understanding why the market moves
Then this is exactly for you. Founder one-time access: $39 Limited spots available

The market doesn’t reward the fastest. It rewards the most prepared.
Here's a rough visualization of how I see the most likely scenarios playing out. If you average them, you'll get a feel for the broad concept I have. I can absolutely be wrong, but it's my take on things currently.
Note that I give the diagonal (dotted) trend lines some importance in controlling the price movements as well as the horizontal support levels.
This falls in alignment with my other post on the odds I give these Bitcoin scenarios.
Most traders lose money That is not an opinion. It is what studies across different countries and markets consistently show
Brazil Study: Day Trading for a Living? Year: 2020 Result: 97% of day traders who persisted for more than 300 trading days lost money
Taiwan Study:The Cross Section of Speculator Skill: Evidence from Day Trading Year:2014 Result:fewer than 1% showed persistent skill and positive abnormal returns after costs
Europe ESMA study on CFDs Year:2018 Result: between 74% and 89% of retail accounts lost money
India SEBI study on derivatives Year:2024 Result:91.1% of individual futures and options traders lost money
Crypto is no different BIS Bank for International Settlements Study: Crypto Trading and Bitcoin Prices: Evidence from a New Database of Retail Adoption Year: 2022/2023
The BIS analyzed crypto adoption across 95 countries and estimated that roughly 73% to 81% of retail investors likely lost money on their $BTC investments
It also found a very common retail behavior: new users tend to enter after prices have already moved higher
In other words they buy after the move not before it
The pattern became even clearer during events such as Terra/Luna and FTX
While larger and more sophisticated investors were selling smaller retail investors were buying
That is the key point Most traders start in the wrong place
They start with a narrative then emotion then urgency and only after that try to justify the trade
A better process is the opposite:
Data → Context → Probability → Risk → Execution → Trade The trade should be the final decision, not the first one
The small fraction of traders who survive and remain consistently profitable do not treat the market as a personal opinion
They adapt when the data changes, understand context, think in probabilities, manage risk.Only then do they execute
If you keep trying to force the market to fit your narrative you will probably never become a consistently profitable trader If you learn to adapt your decisions to what the data is actually showing, that is where a real edge begins 🤝
Solana’s Open Interest is showing an important divergence.
$SOL Open Interest currently stands at approximately $4.04B, with an annual change of -$3.66B. This means USD denominated Open Interest has fallen by roughly 47.5% over the past year.
But when we measure it in SOL, the picture changes completely.
Open Interest is now around 52.87M SOL, with a positive annual change of +9.38M SOL, representing growth of approximately 21.6%.
In other words, while the dollar value of open positions has fallen sharply, the amount of SOL represented in those positions has actually increased.
This distinction matters.
The decline in USD Open Interest has been amplified by SOL’s own price depreciation. At first glance, it may look like the market has gone through a major deleveraging event, but Coin denominated Open Interest shows that speculative exposure remains elevated.
USD OI: $4.04B USD OI YoY: -$3.66B SOL OI: 52.87M SOL SOL OI YoY: +9.38M SOL
Less dollar value, but more SOL exposure.
This shows that leverage and positioning remain highly relevant for Solana, leaving the derivatives market with substantial fuel for future volatility.
Open Interest alone does not tell us whether the next squeeze will hit Longs or Shorts, but it clearly shows that speculation in SOL has not disappeared with the price decline.👇
Before $BTC formed its 2022 bottom, the market went through one final major liquidation event.
Now we are once again seeing a clear dominance of unliquidated longs over shorts.
These levels change constantly, so I strongly recommend setting alerts around the major liquidation zones and receiving notifications via Telegram or email.
If another large liquidation event comes, it could create one of the most interesting opportunities to position.
Panic and forced liquidations are often where the strongest accumulation zones begin to form.
If you think the $BTC bottom has already happened… you would be going against almost everything on this chart.These are some of the most powerful Valuation Models we have:
• Long-Term Holder Realized Price • Structural Market Lower Band • True Market Mean Price • Balanced Price • Delta Price • Active Realized Price • CVDD and several other on-chain cost bases
Right now, price is still trading above most of these key levels, but the structure shows we are far from the extreme undervaluation zones that historically marked major cycle bottoms.On-chain cost basis + structural support + long-term holder levels
→ these are the metrics that actually matter when the noise gets loud.What do you see when you look at this chart?
Three BTC charts. One conclusion: the signal is time.
1. $BTC is historically cheap. Spot: $64,973 Power-law trend: $137,378 Discount to trend: −52.7% PL Z-score: −1.16 Historical P10: $64,870 BTC is essentially sitting on its historical lower structural boundary. 2. Similar valuations have historically produced asymmetric 1-year outcomes. At today’s Z-score bucket: • 468 prior observations • Median realized 1Y CAGR: +171% • P25: +102% • P10: +46% • Positive 1Y returns: 100% Descriptive history, not a forecast. 3. The out-of-sample test explains why. Power Law vs random walk: • 90d: −118% • 180d: −7% • 1Y: +49% • 2Y: +77% At short horizons, randomness wins. Around one year, the structural signal begins to emerge although the independent sample falls to 13 observations at 1Y, so the evidence is still sample-limited. That is the insight. Bitcoin does not become easier to predict because the chart gets prettier. It becomes easier to value because time removes noise. $BTC is 53% below trend, sitting near its historical P10, at the point where the Power Law begins beating a random walk out of sample. Bitcoin’s edge is time.
$ABCL.US surges from $4.99 to $7.94, a 59% increase.
ABCL635 Phase 2 results pushed forward from "some time in September" to August 10th (this Monday).
The FOMO is palpable.

$ABCL.US TA Update
It doesn't get cleaner than this.
Sequence of events: • $5 support perfectly respected after a very brief sweep of the lows (bounced from $4.99) • Channel breaks out, to the upside • Inverse H&S breaks out, to the upside (this is a confirmation the bottom is in) • Neckline of H&S perfectly retested and holds
Textbook TA here. Very clean moves.
I'm bullish $ABCL.US long-term and I have a decent size position. Next to $BTC this is my largest holding currently.
This is a better way to view $BTC Dominance because it subtracts the noise of stablecoins.
Unlike BTC.D, this chart more accurately shows the clear, unbroken uptrend of BTC dominance.
There has been no breakdown yet.
True Altseason, like we experienced in 2021, will most likely follow looser monetary conditions (a lower Fed Funds Rate [interest rates], as one key qualifier). Risky assets need dovish conditions. Altcoins are highest on the risk curve.
The daily Bitcoin Long-Term Holder Net Position Change has remained deeply negative, with outflows ranging from roughly 20K to 50K $BTC per day over the last 8 days.
This means coins that were previously held by Long-Term Holders are increasingly leaving this cohort.
Historically, periods of strong pressure and fear among Long-Term Holders have also appeared near important Bitcoin bottoms.
It does not confirm a bottom by itself, but it is exactly the kind of behavior I want to watch when the market is under extreme pressure.
287% growth. That's how much $IONQ.US 's revenue increased in one quarter versus the same period last year. On the same day it reported earnings, the company also signed a memorandum of understanding with Anduril, one of America's fastest-growing defense technology firms, to develop quantum computing solutions for defense and national security. The partnership also targets government and commercial contracts in strategic sectors. But that wasn't the only announcement. During the same week, IonQ: • Signed another MoU with Sandia National Laboratories. • Opened a new Quantum Innovation Center in Tennessee. • Acquired Nexus Photonics to expand photonics manufacturing. • Completed its acquisition of SkyWater Technology, bringing semiconductor manufacturing in-house. These moves make IonQ the first fully vertically integrated quantum computing platform, controlling everything from chip design to manufacturing. The bigger story is that quantum computing is moving beyond research labs and into national defense budgets. Anduril isn't a traditional defense contractor. It's one of the fastest-growing defense technology companies, building autonomous systems and military software at unprecedented speed. A partnership between an emerging quantum leader and a company reshaping modern defense sends a clear signal: Quantum computing is becoming a strategic military technology, not just a scientific breakthrough. The financials support that narrative: • $80.1M in revenue, the fifth consecutive record quarter. • Remaining performance obligations up 297% YoY. • Over $3B in cash, providing significant funding for long-term expansion. While many quantum companies are still selling future potential, IonQ is building a complete ecosystem from chips to software, supported by real contracts with some of the world's biggest defense and government customers.
