Yesterday I had a crazy trading story that clearly shows how not to trade, even if in the end everything ends up positive. At first, I entered a short position on one private coin, the market went against me, my position was completely wiped out, and trading started from an unpleasant loss. Instead of stopping, switching focus, and waiting for a new setup, I decided to re-enter the same idea in the same direction, basically out of stubbornness: 'I'll just open one last time and see what happens.' This is exactly the same madness I wrote about yesterday.
This is one of those stories that is painful to read. You enter the token early. You spend 6 SOL ($867) and buy 16.5 million $PENGUIN . A little time passes - and you exit the deal with a profit of 0.12 SOL ($18). It seems like a trifle, but there is a plus - which means everything is right.
And then life plays a cruel joke. Today these 16.5 million $PENGUIN are worth $1.4 million. What you sold "too early" could have changed everything. Lost profit - $1,400,000.
This is not about a mistake. It's about patience, fear, and that moment when you never know if it was worth just holding on a little longer. Crypto is not about money. It's about nerves.
$RIVER looks at me as if he wants me to short him. Of course, he has already severely punished many shorters, dropping from $1.6 to $70. But now he looks like he wants to open a short on him.
Week 1: The USA kidnaps the president of another country right from the bedroom.
Week 2: The US Department of Justice begins pursuing the head of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell. Trump declares his intention to intervene in the situation surrounding Iran.
Week 3: Trump imposes tariffs against NATO allies over Greenland. Later — he cancels them.
Week 4: Trump threatens 100% tariffs on Canada due to its cooperation with China (today's post from Trump).
It's only about four weeks. There are still 51 more to go this year. Trading in such a market is a real baptism of fire.

In crypto Twitter, there are active rumors that the USA may start a military invasion of Iran today after the markets close.
You do understand what serious consequences this could have for the crypto market in that case? By the way, I remind you that the infamous October 11 with liquidations of 20 billion dollars also fell on the night from Friday to Saturday. Do we believe? $BTC

How cryptocurrency trades under Trump - based on yesterday's example.
In 12 hours $BTC : pump, dump, and pump again. A billion liquidations in both directions. And this is Bitcoin - in altcoins, clearly, it's complete chaos. We are trading at a hardcore level of difficulty. Easy mode, of course, will also be available. Closer to the midterm elections in the USA. {future}(BTCUSDT)
In the coming days, gold will break $5000, and silver - $100.
While crypto traditionally falls, or at best, stalls in place, gold and silver confidently soar into space. People are pouring money into real assets - especially when they see such growth. For example: silver has made +100% literally in 2 months without significant correction and continues to rise.
So, are we selling crypto and pouring into precious metals? Well, you understand: if I do that, an altseason will immediately begin, and gold and silver will return to levels from two to three years ago.
When will the bull come and what does gold at highs really mean?
Right now, many are looking at gold at ATH and thinking well, the crisis has begun. But it's not quite like that. Gold at its highs is more of a signal of stagflation than the end of the world. And there are always only two scenarios. The first is long and painful, when the economy is choked and everyone endures for a long time. The second is quick, when they start actively stimulating and pouring money.
I constantly hear the phrase: "focus on one area and everything will work out." It sounds nice, but almost no one says that even one area actually consists of a bunch of others. So when a person tries to develop in one thing while ignoring everything else, the result usually quickly breaks against reality.
Just 9 months ago, Ethereum was worth $1380. Then, after 4 months, it decided that modesty was not its trait, and soared up to $4900. Over 300% growth, +$3500 to the price - a trifle, a matter of life.
I look now at the monthly chart and think: it was genius to decide to wait for the "perfect pullback" after $4900 to then enter long positions at $ETH in all altcoins at once.
And how about you? Do you sometimes love to catch FOMO and act like it was all part of the plan?
