The Pareto distribution in the returns of coins is a nightmare for shorts
Because the top performers often end up outperforming the next cohort by 2x-5x
If you find yourself shorting them without invalidation, you are in for some pain

Saylor is basically issuing a 9% APR stablecoin with monthly payments
$STRC is an extremely attractive product

The problem with $ETH is that this trade is so momentum-driven that we can't afford to lose the momentum for too long, or the whole reflexivity dies
And we're already at almost $4k, which has basically been overheated territory for four years
In the same time, with so much energy funneled into ETH, I don't think it disappears immediately after just 2 weeks.
And I don't think the treasury companies trade is over, which implies more inflows for ETH and alts.

It just looks very unlikely to me that the ETH treasury companies mania can only last 2 weeks
They should clearly still be able to deploy more, which will push $ETH price higher

One way to look at it is that they haven't started issuing convertible bonds
So close to zero leverage involved
A treasury company that does not issue CBs or fixed income instruments is basically a crippled treasury company, so it seems inevitable that they will do it

The 80k $BTC have now all been transferred to Galaxy Digital : And they are still holding 48k $BTC That's a significant overhang that the market will have to digest before BTC can push higher
Galaxy Digital has sent 27k $BTC to exchanges over the past 14 hours and is still holding 18.5k BTC

I would not be shocked if $BTC had a final wick below these local lows but right now is already good enough to add
I think we should be trading higher soon.
Saylor is going to get $2.5bn of buying power in a few days

Past 2 weeks in crypto :
- ATH break on $BTC, it went immediately from $112k to $123k in 3 days. Ranging since then, as the momentum rotated into ETH+alts. Dumped below $115k today as a result of the 80k BTC whale selling
- $ETH on fire thanks to the ETH treasury companies + ETFs buying enormous quantities. $2500 -> $3800 in two weeks. ETHBTC to 0.032. Heavy outperformance of alts vs BTC as a consequence of ETH pumping. Some $ETH beta have been top performers : $ENA $CRV $CVX $FXS
- Dino coins strong : $XRP to new $3.6+ highs. $XLM $HBAR $ADA all pumped hard.
- Memes : $DOGE $SPX $FLOKI $FARTCOIN outperformance. Largest gains were on $PENGU (12x), which also pumped $DOOD and $ANIME (NFT coins).
- Extremely underwhelming PA on $PUMP since TGE. Topped below $7 and has been endlessly bleeding to $2.3
- Two new coins have been very strong performers : $ZORA (8x) and $SPK (6x). $NEWT and $SAHARA also squeezed up

It doesn't change the fact that Saylor will get $2.5bn to buy $BTC with, but I don't like that the offering is priced at $90.
$STRC does have a target price at $100, so any rational investor should buy this IPO to get a "free" 11% gain, which means the upsizing is not indicative of "true" demand at $100 $STRC

It was a messy bottom but played out as expected
I don't want to see it retested though...

I wrote this yesterday when $SPK was trading below $0.1 A short squeeze ends with the vertical part of the parabola, where the price moves get completely crazy Yesterday, $SPK was already up +230% in a few days, but it was not worth the risk getting into…
It was the top, and a good short
I don't have any view on $SPK anymore, this trade is done imo

The current state of $ETH in terms of inflows is so much STRONGER than on the 3 previous times it traded at $3700 over the past 18 months that I can't expect it to top here

"Treasury company buyers are accepting to buy $1 of $BTC for $2, they are dumb !"
No, they are buying $1 of BTC + 1$ of additional BTC that they think the company will be able to add accretively on their balance sheet
It's the same idea as valuing a company on its future cash flows
