Markets are still trending strong. But the shakeouts are getting sharper. This week brought a classic combo: new highs, tactical fades, and some retail confusion. Perfect conditions for systems with discipline.
Spiders broke out to new highs. Some profit taking yesterday. Just a pause. Not distribution. Not weakness. The uptrend is solid, and anyone who bet against it just got flattened. BRUTAL.
Ethereum held the lead. A bit of pullback in progress. To be expected. Still up nearly 45 percent since June. Coiled, tight, and still threatening another leg higher. Strongest tape in crypto.
Bitcoin burned all the shorts and is now in consolidation mode. No breakdown. No real weakness yet. This is not topping. It is pacing. The kind that explodes when no one expects it.
#### System Highlights ####
It has been a fun ride over the past few months. But the last two weeks hit the jackpot.
<< SpySniper SPY >>
One clean trade in early July. Then flat. That is it. Sharp entry. Clean exit. No drama.
<< SigmaPirate SPY >>
Still riding the SPY melt-up. That leg alone printed 4.2 percent. Sharpe 2.3. Profit factor 2.9. Seventy-three trades deep. Built for this volatility.
<< Veritas SEASON >>
Still flagging Bitcoin season. Signal stayed active the whole time. This is not a prediction. It is a trend model doing its job.
<< Gravitas ETH >>
Held Ethereum the entire way up. 20.3 percent gain on this leg alone. Sharpe 2.97. Profit factor 27.6. Still long.
<< Gravitas BTC >>
Still long Bitcoin. Still printing. That leg is already up 25.4 percent. Profit factor 11.1. Sharpe over 3.
<< Fidelis BTC >>
Tactical precision. Clipped a clean trade late July. Booked gains. Back to flat. Sharpe 2.7. Drawdown under 7 percent.
Want to stop guessing? Good. The Summer Bundle is about to drop. Every system above will be included.
Stay sharp,
Michael
