The market surged after the tariff deadline was extended to August 1 last night. Despite the bullish momentum and likelihood of further gains, I’m not FOMO-leveraging this rally. I’ll long if we see a significant dip on FUD; otherwise, I’m content to hold my spot BTC and stay on the sidelines.

I believe that as the cryptocurrency market matures, inefficiencies, such as the inflated valuations of low-value altcoins, are being arbitraged away. This is evident in the sheer number of altcoins currently in existence. However, only tokens with strong fundamentals, such as those with revenue-sharing models (e.g., BNB), have consistently outperformed across multiple market cycles. The reality is that the crypto market is no longer in its early stages, and blindly investing in projects is no longer viable. To succeed, investors must be less greedy, more discerning, and avoid reckless decisions that could lead to significant losses.

Looks like a proper all-time high break that will lead to a bullish trend and consolidation higher. It's the first time we get a clean break and no look-back, unlike in many prior breakouts. Expecting at least 130k to come... Would not fade. Unless we start grinding down and stalling around 112k, this is a bullish trend.

Nothing much to add. I think we're having the first price discovery dip. I've added some more spot around 117k with the trading profits from PUMP, among other things. If it goes lower impulsively from there, I'll probably even look to go long. You don't have to do anything really—it's an uptrend. Your job is to ride it and minimize mistakes above all else. If you try to compound, pick your spots wisely and aim for lucky entries.

If you appreciate my content, I’d be very grateful if you could help repost the following tweet: https://x.com/SalsaTekila/status/1946841135730897388. My friend was recently hacked and lost 85K USDT, a significant amount for him. I’m asking for your support because the funds are currently sitting idle in the hacker’s wallet, likely controlled by a bot drainer, and the owner may be unaware. The tether could still be frozen.

Thank you guys so much for this, stolen funds are frozen https://x.com/paoloardoino/status/1946894570693820502 - Appreciate it a ton.

Following the last of Galaxy’s sales, I am confident we’re heading to all time highs. I have the highest conviction in my BTC longs since 2023. This is going much higher. Anything near 118k will be great buys in hindsight IMO.

I recently made a Huobi referral link at the request of a friend. They allow me to give a rakeback of 30% to anyone using this link: https://www.htx.com.ve/invite/en-us/1h?invite_code=u43xc223 . If you wish to try the platform, or just make an account and have it as a backup, it would be helpful to me. I may be compensated if I get bonus tiers above the 30% threshold.

Sidelined from leverage, back in my 75% BTC / 25% stable coins split. Luckily the market didn't move much from my 118k longs, so I didn't get hurt. It seems to me that now is the time to be unleveraged and patient. There is no obvious trade here, and it seems like the PVP has intensified recently. I would advise caution, patience, and playing defensively. I am even considering shorting altcoin rips if I see any trash coins that have run give a proper setup, although I will not share specifics.

Looks like a decent dip, I am back into being 100% BTC at 115K. I would definitely NOT take any shorts from here, might set some bids to long things depending how the stock market open goes. TL;DR - This short term dip is an opportunity to buy and align with my mid term views (higher).

I think now is the time to be fully allocated to spot and patient with anything leveraged. More likely, we’ll see some choppy consolidation. We’ve had rough Augusts and Septembers before, and typically, they resolve with a leg higher. The goal is to avoid losing money until that leg up.

I will try to keep this channel quiet unless something major hints at a change.

TL;DR: Spot long and chill until October or a major shift hinting at a bullish trend. Assume chop otherwise.

I reallocated my portfolio to 30% stable coins and 70% BTC around $114K, depositing some into the Lighter Vault (invite-only: https://app.lighter.xyz/trade/ETH?referral=TU7H48YLYQVF ) and other earning platforms. This setup makes weathering market volatility easier. It’s a game of patience from here, in my opinion. The market feels short-term bearish, but I’m confident it will recover by October. Stay resilient and keep an eye out for opportunities.The best analogy for our current situation is August–September 2021: it felt like the cycle was over, but we saw one final parabolic surge from late September to November. This is likely not the end of the current uptrend. The fastest and largest returns are probably still ahead. Just hold steady through the chop and stay composed until then.

For reference: August and September are historically bearish and choppy. In this post-ETF era, crypto behaves much like traditional finance (TradFi). Hold steady until October, and you’re likely to reap significant rewards later in the year.
