I’ve provided the playbook and trading framework with the best setups across stocks, memes, and altcoins for the start of the year.
Managed to catch the bottom across these setups with full size. Took profits aggressively into this move, kept a core position, and let the rest run. Stops moved to breakeven or TP1.
Riding my core longs, stock picks, and memes from here.
From tomorrow, I’m taking a short break to reset mentally. Less active.
Curious to see how Q1 2026 will play out.
See ya

Screenshotting uPnL isn’t taking profits.
It’s usually euphoria.
Emotionally, the “I could have, I would have, I had” feeling afterward, when an asset drops or rolls into a downtrend, is always far worse than taking partial profits on the way up and watching price continue higher. Yes, it’s frustrating to scale out and see price keep running. You think you could have made more. But that mindset is the wrong approach. The correct mindset of a consistently profitable trader is to always take partial profits to keep risk as low as possible.
Profitable traders understand that there will be new se

For me, an uptrend is confirmed once the first larger, more extended pullback gets accumulated, structure remains healthy with controlled volatility, and the trend continues to print higher highs.
I’d be looking to accumulate such a pullback.
Until then, I’m riding momentum through my longs.

Never oversize without a clear plan.
The moment PnL starts making me feel like a genius, I shift to aggressive profit taking, reduce exposure instead of increasing it, and focus on capital preservation rather than adding risk. Emotions have no place in trading.
Be honest with yourself.

The way small pullbacks are being bought up, how price is holding strong at the new levels, and how many altcoins are pushing higher nonstop with strength clearly shows that crypto looks good. I expect higher. Buyers are becoming more confident again, and sentiment is shifting back toward bullish.

Up only stocks.
Strong Bitcoin.
Altcoin reversals.
Parabolic memes.
Day 5 | 2026

How are you positioned right now?

Every small dip gets bought fast. That’s bullish.
Q4 2025 showed the opposite.
Uptrend vs downtrend dynamics.

A stressful week, but more than worth it. If your head’s overheating, you’re not alone.
Trading the first week of January with full focus was my top priority, and I’m following through.
Knowing when to conserve your energy during downtrends or choppy conditions, and when to deploy it with full focus, is an important skill for any trader.
In my case, it’s usually fairly obvious: “doing nothing” posts versus more aggressive activity.
See you tomorrow.

Letting core longs run, taking profits on most side positions.
My core holdings are ETH, LINK, SOL, LTC, TAO, and AAVE.
For everything else, I’m aggressively taking profits into the bounce out of bottomed out structures, keeping 20%, and moving the stop loss to breakeven, TP levels vary per setup (PUMP, RENDER, FET, MET, NEAR, PENGU, TON, ASTER...).
Taking more setups as they appear.
Nailed it. Waiting for uptrend confirmation, then spot accumulation if we get it. Will keep you posted.
Comfy.

As a meme coin trader, it’s important to understand that lower market cap doesn’t automatically mean more upside. Clean, healthy chart structures are what consistently deliver upside.
I’m where I am today because I internalized this early on, recognizing market dynamics, combined with simple technical analysis, has made me consistently profitable.
Respect to all pre bonding traders, you’re deep in the trenches. It’s the toughest trading environment across all financial markets. As capital grows, the focus naturally shifts toward more established structures.
