$BTC No major clusters nearby in terms of liquidity besides the one below $107K. But as long as BTC holds above $112K I don't think that $107K area is in play. For now we await FOMC which is likely going to cause further volatility today. Good chance we get some wicks towards both sides to take out all the high leverage positions before choosing a direction. My view remains pretty simple. Above $112K, short term looks good. Higher timeframe trend also very much up and I am expecting higher prices later in 2025. What happens between now and then is not as important to me. Mostly trying to filter out the noise and focus on the next larger move whenever that might come.

💥 Is Charles Hoskinson Visiting India Soon? India’s Police Forensics Go Blockchain With Cardano The India-based blockchain and AI development studio, Trivolve Tech, recently announced that its Forensic Management System is live on the Cardano Mainnet. Watching this development closely, Cardano CEO Charles Hoskinson revealed that he might pay a visit to India soon. 🔸 Charles Hoskinson Plans to Visit India Recently, Hoskinson showed his enthusiasm to travel to India after the impressive Cardano development in the country. He replied to Trivolve’s post on X, saying, “Looks like I’m going to India.” Trivolve has launched its blockchain-based Forensic Management System (FMS) on the Cardano mainnet in partnership with the Uttar Pradesh Police. Now, their forensic evidence will be recorded by using blockchain, ensuring transparency, tamper-proof custody, and legal reliability. This new service mainly uses the Cardano blockchain and zero-knowledge proofs to protect evidence from tampering. The inspiration behind this strategy is to strengthen the country’s trust in digital forensic systems, improve efficiency, and set a model for nationwide adoption. 🔸 Why Does It Matter? By using Cardano blockchain technology and Zero-Knowledge Proofs, the Indian state government will ensure the integrity and authenticity of the evidence. More than 1 million cases per year involve this technology, which enhances the reliability of the evidence. The FMS is designed to be a closed-source system for security and confidentiality. It addresses challenges in police forensic departments with critical evidence documentation for judicial courts. Once successfully implemented in Uttar Pradesh, this blockchain-based solution can be adapted and rolled out across all 28 states and 8 union territories of India. #ADA #Cardano $ADA

Core-Satellite The core-satellite strategy means building a core of major established assets, with smaller satellites around it to boost performance or hedge risk. I could talk about unrealistic returns and fuel the easy-money dream, but this is about the cold, hard truth. Realistic Goals: Without realistic goals, you’re like a ship without a destination. Saying “I want to make X$ per day, Y$ per week, or Z$ per month” is not a real plan. You need to think in percentages, not absolute dollar amounts. If you want to make $10K/month with a $10K account, that’s a 100% monthly return. With proper risk management, that’s nearly impossible to sustain and chasing that kind of goal just means you’ll be running after the fantasy dragon forever. But $10K/month with a $100K account is more realistic. That’s a 10% monthly return, still very ambitious (120% yearly) and something only the very best traders can achieve consistently. Personally, I aim for those 10% per month on my trading accounts. I aim for the stars to land on the moon. The key: It doesn’t stress me or push me into bad trades, but fires the desire to outperform. On average, I hit around 5% per month some months negative, others as high as 12%. At 5% monthly, that would compound to about 60% annually if i can keep it up. And if I don’t hit it? That’s fine too. My investment accounts (65% of my portfolio) are already outperforming the SPX and Gold since April and YTD. What’s the point of putting in all the extra work if I couldn’t even outperform those? Why Dreaming Doesn’t Work in the Market: These aren’t dream-selling numbers. They’re realistic goals. And yet most traders won’t even get there, because they’re too busy chasing the dragon. Look at the SPX: - +12% YTD without any timing, not spectacular. - Round +80% from the 2022 low - From the low, though, it’s up ~35%, all with far less risk than altcoins or single stocks. Just note that not every year looks like this. This move is very aggressive and won't last forever. BTC: - +21% YTD - Round 600% form the 2022 low - +50% from the April low. 50% in 5 months is insane. Show me a trader who consistently pull off 10% monthly with size and prove. Not many out there. The Point: If your goal is to have as much freedom as possible, build a big-picture strategy that takes advantage of the major swings while adding or removing risk with your trading. For me, the best approach is a core-satellite strategy: Core: Established assets like Gold, SPX, NDX, or BTC, the safe anchors that increase your buying power in the long run. Satellites: A smaller portion of your portfolio for trading, stock picking, or hedging. This way i maximise efficiency and limit risk. Most stock pickers, altcoiners, and traders don’t even outperform the majors, while taking far more risk and burning far more time. The market makers know the urge to always do something is strong, and they profit from it. Most think: More work equals a better outcome. Betty Crocker sends her greetings. The Traits You Need The most important traits for this kind of strategy are patience, timing, and discipline. Without patience, you won’t wait for the big moves, sometimes years. Without timing, you won’t create meaningful returns. Without discipline, you won’t buy when the chance comes, nor rebuild cash when it’s time to step aside. You don’t need perfection. You need to build assets at major pivot lows and cash at major pivot highs. Repeat this process, and your returns will likely outshine those spending 10x of your effort. Buy assets = Reduce cash Sell assets = Increase cash Always think in percentages, not absolutes. At major pivot points, your goal is to shift exposure as much as possible, building cash into highs, building assets into lows. And I’m talking about established assets, majors like SPX, Gold, BTC. Altcoins or single stocks behave differently. They chop in violent ranges for months, trapping capital without producing real returns, while investors keep praying for targets that might never come. Nobody knows, so don’t get stuck in hoping for “one last leg” or BCS targets. For altcoins and single lower cap stocks you need real trading skills. Build layered positions that get validated or invalidated along the way, all while already booking profits in the process. The Bigger Picture A good trader might achieve 10% monthly consistently (some maybe more, haven’t seen prove for that tho), but usually with enormous time effort. And if you trade with only your own money, that part of your portfolio is probably too small to outperform your investment accounts in absolute numbers. Propfirms can help here, but they have their own steppingstones. The average altcoiner still hasn’t booked real profits, still waiting for BCS targets, riding every swing like a rollercoaster. That’s not bad luck, it’s by design. Majors made people richer. Most alts only made their holders poorer. Meanwhile, the average DCA investor makes ~10% annually without timing. Not impressive, but it’s real money compared to most “dragon chasers.” Enough to keep up with inflation and still add a little extra. Now add just a little timing, and the results change completely. Imagine you caught BTC in the recent drop in April almost perfectly with a $100K account and are up 50%. That’s $50K profit. For a small account this might not feel like much, but statistically, it’s already outperformance over all other majors and most other players. And once you let compounding do its work, you can still make it, as long as you have enough patience. Final Thought: The ones who chase unrealistic, non-mathematical dreams usually pay the price in losses and in stress. Trading is a powerful tool: It can boost performance, teach you about yourself, and speed up your understanding of the game a lot. Trading can also be a source of joy and if that’s the case, why not pursue it as often as you can? Personally, I don’t enjoy sitting in front of the computer all day that’s why I focus on refining macro strategies like this one. One the provides me real freedom of time, instead of making me a slave to the tape.
