this is extremely sad

your default state is to lose

The 2nd part of Powell's speech talked about a change in Fed policy framework.

The removal of the “average inflation targeting” strategy and the “shortfalls” language suggests a reduced emphasis on aggressively countering inflation overshoots and a more lenient stance on employment levels above maximum estimates, as long as price stability isn’t jeopardized. This flexibility might signal a willingness to tolerate higher inflation or support employment longer before tightening policy, aligning with a dovish tilt. However, the commitment to the 2% inflation target and anchoring expectations indicates that the Fed remains vigilant, tempering the dovish perception with a balanced approach.

I'm not a fan of sol being bid up and outperfoming eth this early right after eth rejects ath. would need eth to start outperforming sol again within the next few days or i would consider a full retrace a viable path on the market.

I dont think this is a high probability, but its worth keeping an eye on eth/sol ratio.

on a long enough timeframe, everything should bleed against btc

i don’t quite buy the prediction of ethbtc expanding back above 0.09 because some are using a full reversion as a bull case for eth

it should be an eventual downtrend on htf

$BTC

Bearish confirmations still needed, but if Bitcoin breaks under $108k, chances are the local top is in and we'll get a strong first leg down towards the $60k-70k main support. That would mean 50%-80% capitulation event for altcoins.

$WLFI at $40bn FDV in pre-market on Binance lmao

It will trade much lower in one year

But they will absolutely PvP the shorts after TGE, the float will be very low

(Illustrated risk : TRUMP was looking like a decent short when it was stalling around $30bn...)

By community request, Hyperliquid has listed WLFI-USD hyperps. You can now long or short the unlaunched $WLFI token with up to 3x leverage.

As a reminder, hyperps do not rely on any external data for the oracle price. Hyperps trade like perpetual contracts that users are familiar with, but do not require an external spot or index oracle price. Instead, the funding rate is determined relative to a moving average of the hyperp mark price.

Trading is on low leverage and isolated margin only. Beware of low liquidity, high volatility, potentially extreme funding, and increased liquidation risk. Note: WLFI-USD will convert to a vanilla perp upon CEX spot listing. See Docs for more.

WLFI-USD is a hyperp contract that poses higher than normal risk. Do not trade contracts you are unfamiliar with and do not understand the risks for. Read the Docs to learn more about the hyperp mechanism. NFA.
