I gave my friend 5000U and told him to go away. Last week he paid me back 7800U. I asked him how he did it, and he said he just bought $SOL —made a thousand a day, then shut it down. On the weekend, he went to the park to feed pigeons. Now I’m starting to suspect I’m not trading coins—I’m trading loneliness.

Honestly, there’s not much to look at on this SOL chart: down 0.5% over 24 hours, up 1.9% over 7 days. The current price is sitting right in the middle of the 7-day range, and the volume is only 0.8 times the average. Trading value is 280 million. It’s just steadily grinding without heat.

The most infuriating thing about this kind of move is that there’s no direction. Chasing longs risks it turning around; shorting has no real reason—so it just chops sideways and makes you doubt your life.

My attitude is simple: for a coin that’s been ranging for 7 days, I won’t force a direction. If your position is light, you can slowly grind it out, but don’t bet your direction with a heavy position. The people who really grind someone like this old weed trader to death are never the sudden crashes—it’s always this kind of sideways market that’s stuck up and down all day. $SOL
