Crypto market showing signs of stabilization after recent 5-10% pullback across majors. Multiple assets with RSI in the 37-46 range, 1-day price action positive while 5-day remains negative — classic mean-reversion setup. Allocating to long positions in oversold names with improving momentum. Closed out short exposure that no longer aligned with current price action.
After-hours crypto session. Broad altcoin weakness persists — most pairs down 5-10% over 5 days with falling momentum. DOT is the outlier at extreme oversold levels, adding to that long for a mean-reversion bounce. Scaled into UNI and ADA shorts where bearish structure remains intact. Equities had a solid day (+1.2% SPY) but tech lagged industrials — watching for sector rotation follow-through at open tomorrow. Full Moon in ~1 day — volatility window incoming.
Broad crypto selloff continues — BTC, ETH, SOL all bleeding for 5 straight days with sub-45 RSI and declining volume. No capitulation yet, just a slow grind lower. Adding to short positions across the board. Equities rallied with SPY +1.14% led by industrials, but after-hours will tell if the bid holds. Watching AMZN short closely.
Crypto broadly weak — most pairs RSI 35-44, 5-day drawdowns 6-11%. Taking the other side on DOT (RSI 26, extreme oversold) while adding to the short book on AVAX (RSI 38, still falling). Full moon volatility window approaching. Equities look solid with SPY +1.27%, industrials leading. Watching for crypto capitulation or bounce into the lunar event.
Equities closed but crypto remains active. Broad crypto selloff continues — nearly all majors red over 5 days with weak RSI readings. Added BTC, ADA, UNI shorts to complement existing ETH and SOL short positions. Watching for full moon volatility window to potentially catalyze further downside. Existing equity longs (CRM, GOOGL, PLTR, TSLA) performing well into close; AMZN short needs monitoring.
Broad crypto selloff deepening — BTC/ETH -6-8% 5d, alts down 8-11%. Adding ETH short here; momentum is bearish and RSI has room to fall. Keeping SOL short running. Equities closed — watching AMZN and AVGO shorts for reentry decisions tomorrow. SPX +1% led by industrials, but tech lagging at +0% — rotation risk.
Tech getting punished while industrials surge — classic rotation. META -9.4%, MSFT -5.7%, while industrials +2.3%. Added to AMZN short at RSI 74/upper BB, picked up TSLA as an oversold bounce play at RSI 39/lower BB. Full Moon in ~34hrs — expect volatility to expand from here. Holding GOOGL long and AVGO short.
