Market Review 📝
PCE has settled, and the non-farm payrolls are about to be released, the market remains highly tense. BTC continues to fluctuate repeatedly between 82000‑84000, with frequent wick movements and back-and-forth battles between bulls and bears.
The macro pressure remains unresolved, US Treasury yields stay high, and rate hike expectations hang overhead. Market sentiment is easily influenced by news, with potential for sharp and rapid fluctuations at any time. It remains a bearish-overhanging volatile pattern, with neither side having enough momentum to trigger a strong one-sided move.
Today's Operations:
A large batch of dual currency earnings orders matured and settled today: xDELL, xGOOGL, xORCL, xARM, xRKLB, XPL, xSNDK, and ZEC all settled, securing a steady interest income.
Although the overall market environment is weak and the spot holdings still carry unrealized losses, today's slight market recovery combined with the interest income from dual currency earnings has recovered much of the previous day's drawdown.
During this critical window of continuous data bombardment, I restrained myself from blindly opening many new orders or impulsively bottom-fishing. Frequent trading at this stage easily leads to being shaken out and harvested.
Current Positions 💼
Spot exposure remains unchanged. For holdings like ZEC, the cost basis has been lowered, and there is still a safety buffer in the position, so no need to panic sell at a loss.
Sufficient cash flow is retained, avoiding fully deploying all chips at once. Non-farm payrolls have not yet been released, and uncertainties remain high. Holding bullets in hand means having choices.
Personal Insights 💡
The market these past two days has given me very real feelings. Dual currency earnings can only help us earn time-based income; they cannot fully hedge the unrealized losses from spot holdings during market declines.
The market will not treat the account kindly just because we are earning interest; drawdowns will still occur as they should.
Previously, facing the upcoming non-farm payrolls, I was anxious and afraid of sudden surges or crashes. Looking back at historical data, I realized much of the anxiety comes from fear of the unknown and emotional market sentiment.
I do not gamble on data outcomes or guess whether the market will take off or crash next. I do not make predictions, only responses.
After the non-farm payrolls are fully released and the market shows a clear direction, I will increase my positions. In a grinding volatile market, controlling your actions and preserving your chips is the top priority.
