Let me tell you something I still can't figure out. I'll start with something that'll probably annoy people: those who keep telling you to “hold your spot and never sell” probably don't have much skin in the game themselves.

A little after 6:50 this morning, before I'd even finished my water, I went over the 4-hour chart. The system's signal was to wait—neither bullish nor bearish. In plain English, the market's moving sideways. Don't force a direction.

₿ BTC at 82,087, up just 0.4% in 24 hours. It peaked at 83,158 and bottomed at 81,700, spending the whole day grinding around within a little over a thousand bucks. Volume was 1.08 billion USDT—not exactly what you'd call active.

Yesterday I thought about picking some up around 81,800. My finger hovered over the button, but in the end I didn't click. Looking back now, I don't regret it, but I can't say I'm glad either. My hand was shaking, and I'll own that…

Everyone in the group has been buzzing about SOL and PEPE these past couple of days. I haven't touched either. I've kept that small XAUT core position untouched too, and the safe-haven trade hasn't given me an opportunity either…

After nearly a week of this grind, the biggest problem with my system isn't that it gets things wrong—it's that even when it gets things right, I don't dare act. Are you holding spot no matter what, or are you like me, just watching from the sidelines? $XAUT $BTC
