Bro, that’s a pretty sharp observation, but I think we need to dig a little deeper. Japan’s TOPIX has broken its all-time high, while the Nikkei and South Korea’s KOSPI opened lower. What does that tell us? It tells us that capital in Asian markets is extremely divided right now—on one side, asset prices are partying; on the other, investors are wary of jumping in. This kind of macro divergence is exactly what you meant by “being selective.”
$BTC and $SOL are liquidity barometers, and right now, there really isn’t the kind of “go all in with your eyes closed” frenzy to support them. Yen volatility and turbulence in Asian equities often affect the willingness of sidelined capital to go Risk-On. When traditional financial markets are all “looking this way and that,” it’s hard for crypto to break away and launch a major bull run of its own. More often, we see sector rotation as investors fight over existing capital.
I’ve been in this business for ten years, and I’ve seen far too many people impulsively chase the market when an index hits a new high, only to end up stranded at the top. The strategy now isn’t to see which index is up and assume it’s time to pile in. It’s about understanding the logic behind the money: is it seeking safety, or rebalancing? AI concepts like Mistral may be hot, but whether they can keep leading the market amid expectations of tighter macro liquidity is debatable.
So don’t let a new high in a single index go to your head. Understanding where Japanese capital is flowing is more important than staring at candlestick charts. At this stage, the tokens in your hands are worth more than the number in your account.
Have you been trimming your positions at these highs and waiting on the sidelines, or are you planning to add to your positions and ride the trend?
