LIFE IN THE CRYPTO NUTHOUSE

 

“We’re all Chimps just chasing ENDLESSLY REPEATING chart patterns!!”

Yes, that seems “normal” doesn’t it? … after getting monkey hammered into

oblivion late yesterday afternoon, both ETH & BTC go orbital in the Asian and

early European session, and I hit my screen this AM, and ETH has already got

an approximate $470 range … sure, perfectly normal in the nuthouse located

in “The Twilight Zone” … worse for BTC, where I don’t have a clue how anybody

mitigates risk exposure in a market that goes up/down at the speed of light

… get on the wrong side of this trade, and the HFT LP will skewer you worse

than shishkabob at a barbecue. Normal models of volatility “off the charts”,

especially the m15, where RM=4 isn’t holding anything … these are dangerous

markets!


RM = 3 & RM=4 HOLDING SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE ON THE M1, reflecting

the highest volatilities we’ve ever seen in ETH … bid/offer spread is all over the

place, so you can’t buy up spikes and expect any decent fill … today starts the

same as every other day in recent memory, with Asia & Europe blowing it up,

and then NY in an “extend & pretend” keep the gains while setting off sell stops

and then rinse & repeat … we have yet to see Asia and/or Europe maul the shit

out of crypto and then for the NY session to bring it back up … how likely is

this to continue?


Well here we are with this massive “bigly & yuge” range and the criminal,

money laundering NYSE open about to commence, and the last 4 hours in

ETH a complete chopfest bag of shit, giving new meaning to the “Flying Wedge

of Death” [FWD] yo-yo from Hell … typical … the “extend & pretend” starting

early today … seriously, what’s left? … maybe we get some movement maybe

we don’t, but history isn’t kind when shit like this happens, and we got a

“Twilight Zone” range for the day and the day hasn’t even started!


In this month-long runup in price, we’ve yet to see Asia & Europe go lower and

then have positive flows in NY, with both the m15 and m1 going higher,

WITHOUT the range already being blown to shit earlier in the day … we’ve

gotten some FOMO flows to be sure, but in order for those to work profitably,

you better see action heretofore unseen in markets … and of course, that’s what

we’ve seen! … but for how long? … you keep buying FOMO, and when it burns

out you’re screwed … remember, EVERYTHING has to happen at some point,

but that doesn’t mean it’s the optimal way to trade … hang your hat on

consistency, not wishful thinking that may or may not ever happen in your

lifetime … how do you make a living from that?


The upshot from this setup scenario that we’ve seen lately is not optimal … from

a scalping perspective, it means the m15 is spending way too much time in

negative price slope for the session I’m trading [NYSE], and that usually means

rough and quick m1’s up followed by nasty ass downdrafts … flip that around

and I’ll do larger volumes cuz the “wind” is at our backs for the trade, but I’m

not about to get blindsided by killer m1’s going deep red and forcing me to sell

a “Thelma & Louise” trip down … you wanna see slippage? … trust me, there’ll

be slippage that will choke a horse!


Only one PAMM trade today in ETH … every day waking up and seeing price

already having exploded higher in Asia or early Europe is bullshit … WE’RE UP

SLIGHTLY … ONTO TOMORROW. 


… OUTTA HERE … “The future’s so bright I need 2 pairs of sunglasses 😎😎,

and my own Brinks armored truck” 💓!! … Onward & Upward!!
