VIX almost at 50

some of the worst correction in tradfi since covid

is why im buying

everybody is shitting their pants

I am aware that this isnt the most sound "investment thesis"

however I will just DCA into BTC spot as I believe its the pristine crypto and frankly only one that I can consider an actual investment rather than short term speculation

I will be very happy if I get to buy BTC much lower too.

I do expect USA to get very angry at China for biting back, and if USA does put even MORE tariffs on China that leads to another nuke in stocks, therefore in crypto.

Have a great weekend.

They did not make a deal

F

NASDAQ -6.3% in last 5 hrs with 45 minutes left in the trading session

Apparently bond market is also going all sorts of crazy

It should be very volatile day tomorrow.

Personally still leaning Long (BTC)

CHINA FINANCE MINISTRY: TO IMPOSE ADDITIONAL TARIFFS OF 84% ON U.S. GOODS FROM APRIL 10

1 day later

90-day pause is here

TRUMP ANNOUNCES 90-DAY PAUSE WITH LOWER RECIPROCAL RATE

/full_send everything

this cabinet is a fucking clown show lol

closed a bunch of my BTC longs as i was DCAing down as per this msg from yesterday

I dont trust Trump or his cabinet anything.

just because I am taking profit after 7-8% intraday move in the markets

DOES NOT MEAN

I am bearish, my thesis was to add to longs and hope for a Pivot from either side (which honestly in hindsight sounds hilarious)

I got the pivot, I consider setup/trade idea/thesis to have played out

Now I have no clue what the hell is going to happen next. There is still straight out Trade War with China and I dont trust Trump

Goodbye

I am out of the trade fully, the left circled area is screenshot im replying to

very happy w/ this trade, will look to Long BTC again 🙏🏼

This was some of the most stressed days for me in recent months and currently happy to “cope” if it goes higher for the sake of getting my head right for the next week

BTC down more than 4% since exit

Setting some limit orders in case we get another liquidation cascade.. (77k ish first orders)

BTC -3.2%
SP500 -4.2%
Nasdaq -4.7%
