Let me tell you what I’m not doing in 2026: chasing.
Bitcoin didn’t get its Santa Rally. Q4 was crypto’s worst quarter since 2018. Down 22%. The seasonal pattern just… failed.
Here’s what’s really telling me something: On-chain data shows long-term holders dumping at rates we haven’t seen since 2020. Nearly $300 billion worth of dormant Bitcoin changed hands this year. The 1-5 year holders are selling while the 5+ year crowd holds.
That’s not accumulation. That’s distribution.

Markets were closed yesterday.
But my edge wasn’t.
While most traders treated Christmas like a complete break from anything market-related, I spent the day doing something that’s going to give me a clearer head when we’re back to business January 6th.
I wasn’t analyzing charts (kind of hard when nothing’s moving). I wasn’t cramming new strategies or reading trading books. I was doing something much more valuable:

Merry Christmas! 🎄
I hope you’re all having the most wonderful Christmas Day. Whether you’re unwrapping presents with 75 family members (seriously, how do you manage that chaos?), enjoying your seven fishes feast, or doing whatever makes your heart happy today.
I’m spending my Christmas thinking about how grateful I am for this incredible trading community.

My traders don’t think in bulls and bears. They think in zones. That’s why they sleep at night while everyone else is about to get their faces ripped off

I back-tested our strategy for four hours this weekend. You know what I found? It works. Obviously it works.
So why are some traders still losing money?
Here’s what I see happening over and over: traders get the direction right, enter good setups, but still walk away frustrated.
Sometimes they exit too early and watch the trade keep running. Sometimes they hold too long and give back profits. Sometimes they panic in the middle and turn a winner into a loser.
Sound familiar?
