I keep seeing this narrative pop up: Ethereum is on the verge of a massive rally because of a 9-month cycle. My first thought this morning, looking at my Glassnode dashboard? That's chart astrology. While traders are busy drawing circles on a calendar, they're missing the hard data that actually moves markets. I survived the 2018 crash by ignoring ...

This morning, the first number I checked wasn't a crypto price. It was the 90-day correlation coefficient between BTC and the S&P 500. It’s sitting around 0.4, a level that makes most crypto natives feel comfortable, even complacent. They think decoupling is here. They're wrong. In a real risk-off panic, that correlation snaps to 0.8 or higher in a...

The internet is buzzing with MicroStrategy's peak unrealized loss of $9.5 billion on its Bitcoin holdings. I've seen the headlines. And frankly, they're missing the entire point. This isn't a story about a loss; it's a story about conviction, and it's a perfect example of how traditional finance mindsets completely fail to grasp this asset class. W...

So, the Pentagon is getting its hands on Grok AI. The headlines are screaming. AI coins are getting a little speculative bid. And my first thought this morning? I couldn't care less. This is the kind of news that gets retail traders absolutely wrecked. It's pure, uncut narrative, and it's a dangerous drug. While everyone is chasing the story, I'm w...

Everyone's losing their minds over NEAR launching a super-app. That's great. But from where I'm sitting, watching my P&L on three different funded accounts, the only 'super-app' I care about is my risk calculator. I've seen more accounts blown up by chasing news than I've seen saved by a game-changing announcement. The announcement of NEAR launchin...

The wires were buzzing this morning. Goldman and BofA dropped the data: a record $130 billion has flooded into global equity funds this year, but the US share of that pie is shrinking fast. Four years ago, half of every dollar went to US funds. Now it's one in four. The consensus is clear: sell America, buy the world. And I'm calling it. This is a ...

The housing market is telling us a recession isn't coming, it's already here, and I'm positioning my funded accounts to trade the fallout. While everyone is glued to CPI prints, the real data dropped this week: a record gap of over 600,000 more homes for sale than buyers to purchase them. This isn't just a cooling market; it's a buyer's strike. For...

I saw the numbers this morning and had to re-read them. A $2,800 annual fee for a digital nomad visa in Bhutan. Steep, but not unheard of. But then came the kicker: a mandatory $10,000 investment into a new gold-backed cryptocurrency called TER. This isn't a fee. It's forced participation in a sovereign financial experiment. While everyone is distr...

The crypto world is buzzing about Hong Kong's RedotPay eyeing a US IPO to raise over $1 billion. The first question I see in trading chats is, "How do we play this?" Wrong question. Completely. After failing over 20 prop firm challenges in my career, I can tell you the right question is, "How do I prevent this headline from making me do something s...
