$BRKB Today 511.63, +0.87%, volume just over 170k, funding rate 0, OI only 1098.89. If you dump this kind of data into a Trump-trade market, most people just swipe past it. They think there’s no movement, no meat. But the old dog keeps a close watch on this, because disagreement is about to arrive.
Buffett’s flagship has taken shape like this under the expectation of Trump 2.0—it’s basically a slap in the face. The market is still pretending to do the math: tariffs cutting into consumer brand profit, tax cuts boosting buybacks—how could that balance so easily? Berkshire holds a bunch of credit cards, railroads, and retail; it’s huge, so if tariffs truly get added, it will definitely take a hit in the short term. But don’t forget, the old man has $325 billion in cash. He’s not watching; he’s waiting for a trap. Waiting for that sufficiently big pit, to eat it in one bite. Right now, this chart hasn’t actually dropped enough.
With the funding rate at 0, long and short aren’t leaning one way; the market has zero consensus on this stock. OI is only a little over a thousand, so big players haven’t really moved in. But there’s one structure on-chain that makes me very uncomfortable: price stays flat, while volume steadily shrinks from the bottom range to the 170k level. In US stock contracts, this often happens the night before a big move. A bunch of retail traders are waiting for a volume breakout to chase longs—I’m doing the opposite. This setup likely needs to be smashed downward first, and only then will real buy orders come in.
So I’ll do only one direction: short. 3x leverage, stop-loss at 528, first take-profit at 490. The logic isn’t complicated. Most of the optimistic expectations of the Trump trade have already been priced in. A second push requires a surprise, and surprises usually point downward. If the dollar stays strong, foreign capital returns to US Treasuries, and US stocks will feel pressure. When a big-cap stock like BRKB rises, it drags—not so when it falls. It doesn’t just turn and run; it slowly bleeds lower with an occasional panic big bearish candle. I’m not betting on that big bearish candle—I’m eating the earlier portion of the bleed.
Position sizing is locked directly: no more than 5% of the total account. Funding cost is 0, so there’s no carry cost. But shorts fear one thing: Trump saying something and suddenly pulling the pin, triggering a short squeeze and liquidation.
Three scenarios are on the table: in the baseline scenario, it continues to trade in a narrow range awaiting catalysts—I won’t change my position; in the optimistic scenario, Trump throws out tax-cut details and pushes it firmly above 530—I’ll stop out and leave immediately, no lingering; in the pessimistic scenario, tariffs get ratcheted up and knock out the consumer sector—BRKB drops toward 490, and I’ll take profit and protect.
