BTC +8% sold, ETH short at the EMA200, SOL +7% closed — 19 Aug 2026

Written on 19 August 2026. Published unchanged.

BTC You can’t imagine what a real surge looks like? Up 8% in a day, overbought beyond belief, absolutely couldn’t hold it — sold. Still have a short order sitting above; the swing has topped out! A move like this has to be followed by a big drop.

ETH − Went straight to the EMA200. Went straight in with a small short, 12U. Don’t dare go bigger — afraid this monster will squeeze me out.

SNDK + The long order I had waiting below got filled, small floating loss. US stocks don’t seem to be reacting, hmm — keep holding.

HYPE Placed a long order. Man, any coin that can move independently of the market is no joke. Treating this as the hedge for my short book.

XYZ100 + Not much movement, refilled back to the MA21. Didn’t manage to get in at the very low, added a little — 15U isn’t great.

SOL Closed. Ugh, a 7% move and I couldn’t hold it. Placed a short at the very top. A rise like this has to pull back hard.

ZEC Closed, couldn’t hold it. Placed half a position at the high and half at the low of the previous consolidation, one full position in total. Still a short hedge. And this one also trades independently.

GOLD − Yesterday I was complaining my short wouldn’t fill, and now it has. Very nice, added a little — same reasoning as XYZ100. Still the resistance at the 200 EMA…

XRP The other big account is long on this — should I just bail? Severely overbought short-term, can’t hold it…

A real surge — the shorts’ fuel can’t even imagine it…………
