looking for traps and trying to make good transactions in crypto and trad markets












In a similar vein, there is an element of negative carry in the market right now. Trump's fake 5 day delay taco after a self-imposed deadline for an empty threat before his next weekend attack is not 'free'. Every day that passes and the Strait is still not open puts more stress on global economies, liquidity and asset prices. If his goal is to prolong a slow burning economic crisis, he is right on track. So it must be asked - if it looks, swims and quacks like a duck, is it a duck? The problem is you can't eliminate volatility, only transfer it. There will be a lot of money to be made by identifying where that vol is being transferred and when it will matter.


honey the kids are hitting 900s in pools…







Regarding US equities I think if you are a frustrated bear here, which I'm starting to sense there are, I think you simply have to be patient. I'm seeing a subtle shift in sentiment towards equities being impossible to short/go down, right when they look most vulnerable to me. A loss of the 4h trend led to a loss of the daily trend, which has now manifested (across all major indices) into a loss of the weekly trend. We have now also seen multiple attempts to reclaim the daily trend, which have been swiftly rejected. This is only week two of price accepting below the weekly trend, so from a higher time perspective, this move may still be in the early innings. Sellers are in control across all key timeframes, even with vanna/charm creating a supportive bid on bounces - which disappear come next week [opex is fri]. And as I've mentioned, I believe the credit market has been leading equities over the past month or so, and until we see 1) a meaningful shift in the trajectory of credit spreads, or 2) equities reclaiming trend across the aforementioned timeframes, I maintain a bearish bias and think we continue to trade lower from here.
