📉 Requiem for Short Sellers

Trader Ryzqq took a $180K hit shorting scam token $MYX. Instead of hiding it, he broke down the lessons every trader eventually learns the hard way.

➡️ Never short without a stop. Small wins and small losses keep you alive, big losses destroy you.
➡️ Don’t stay in a position just to get back to breakeven. That’s hope trading, not edge.
➡️ Shorts should be rare. On long horizons they carry negative expectancy.
➡️ Keep a “Do Not Touch” list for insider coins and scams. The best trade is no trade.
➡️ If you can’t explain your setup in 2 sentences, you don’t understand it. Skip it.
➡️ “It’s a scam, it must dump” is a trap. By the time it does, insiders have already bled you dry.
➡️ Mental capital matters as much as financial. A toxic trade infects the rest of your book.
➡️ Think in abundance. Markets will always give new chances - you don’t need to swing at everything.

His saving grace was keeping the position small. His biggest mistake was staying after the trade lost its edge.

As Druckenmiller said: “I already knew I shouldn’t do it. I just couldn’t stop myself.”

📊 Bitcoin retests, then climbs

The structure hasn’t changed since 2023: breakout → retest → continuation. The current $113K pullback fits the same playbook.

➡️ Every major leg higher started with a retest of old resistance as new support
➡️ The pattern has repeated across multiple timeframes since 2023
➡️ Current consolidation looks like another setup before continuation

Narratives shift, but price action is stubbornly consistent.

🪙 Bitcoin vs Big Tech

At $2.1T market cap, Bitcoin now sits in the same league as the giants.

➡️ Apple: $3.0T
➡️ Microsoft: $3.4T
➡️ NVIDIA: $3.5T
➡️ Amazon: $2.2T
➡️ Bitcoin: $2.1T
➡️Alphabet: $2.1T
➡️ Meta: $1.7T
➡️ Tesla: $1.1T
➡️ Berkshire Hathaway: $1.1T

It’s still smaller than the top three, but Bitcoin has already outgrown most corporates built over decades.

For an asset born just 16 years ago, it’s still early.

📊 Bitcoin and the 4-year cycle

Looking at the past three halvings, the cycle structure is clear:

➡️ Bull phase (halving to cycle top) → median 75 weeks
➡️ Bear phase (top to bottom) → median 53 weeks
➡️ Accumulation (bottom to next halving) → median 74 weeks

On that math, the current cycle’s median top would land around September 29. The mean says the peak may already be behind us.

History isn’t destiny, and macro shifts matter more now than in earlier cycles. Still, the question remains: is Bitcoin repeating the 4-year rhythm, or are we finally breaking it?
