This one’s gonna require a bit more patience from me. First expectation was to snipe Yilihua—he got liquidated, ETH dragged SOL down with it. (He surrendered.) Second, I was looking for a cascade of liquidations on SOL due to those sky-high borrow rates. (But now lending rates and utilization on most SOL protocols are back to normal.) Third, that wick and V-shaped bounce wasn’t the bottom—we’re still in chop city. Fourth, I’m playing the technicals and holding a $BTC short from $72k, haven’t added any SOL shorts for now. Fifth, like I mentioned in the group last night, tonight’s a big one. First trading day after Sanae wins the election—will there be a carry trade unwind? Historically, every time Japan and the US jointly intervene (Jan 23 as an example), the yen rallies. With Sanae’s landslide win, the carry trade unwind might be bigger than any expected BoJ rate hike. (Didn’t see it reflected yet.) I’m holding a 300k SOL short, and a smaller $BTC short. Previous 5 mil short position was in profit, so this time on SOL I’m letting the winner ride, aiming for a bigger move. Best advice lately: don’t bother with TA drawing games—waves, channels, whatever, I probably chart better than most. Focus more on the macro-to-micro-to-candles trading system. Take it or leave it, no hindsight bs here.

Trading is like dating; it's inherently unpredictable. You might have everything planned out and everything clear, but the girl can easily have a change of heart. Just be patient and wait; if you're wrong, there's nothing to regret.
