Monday Open - Weekly Market Update - August 24

2026-08-24T10:03:10.002Z

Right! Finally, we have some movement! I genuinely feel like this is the first weekly update on Slice where we have meaningful stuff to discuss. Bitcoin pulled a >25% move in the last week, and many Altcoins have moved significantly as well - which means a lot has changed, and the obvious question arises: now what? To answer that question, we must first figure out: where exactly are we? There are two seperate branches of answering that question. Long-term wise , I currently believe this is likely to be a relief rally that we will eventually (partially) retrace to complete the bear market bottom formation. That idea will quickly shift if we end up turning the above resistance level into support - but until that happens, I don't see much reason to change my view of the market suddenly. As such, I simply keep DCA-ing weekly, while keeping my eyes on the market for signs that I need to accelerate accumulation, or confirmation of the original idea. The chart above adds to that idea, because this recent move has led Bitcoin right into key resistance, with both weekly horizontal resistance, and both the 100w and 50w ema lining up in the same area. Usually, such areas take a while to crack - just look at what happened in 2022/2023. Zooming in on the shorter-term, this is where it gets properly interesting. If Bitcoin consolidates in this area for a while, we could very well get some more fun with Altcoins. The MORPHO setup I shared last Friday moved significantly over the weekend (I'm up 20% already), but could get even more interesting if the market plays ball. The same goes for HYPE. Strong move behind us, but could give some great continuation entries in the days ahead. Here's what I'm looking for: retests of key areas - after the breakout. Just look at these HYPE and MORPHO charts. Both saw significant moves, and are red today - pulling back into the previous high (HYPE) or a failed breakout from earlier (MORPHO). As it stands, both of these retests appear to be holding. It all hinges on Bitcoin playing along (by not violently selling off from here, and instead just calmly consolidating/slowbleeding) - but setups like these make for excellent continuation setups. HYPE & MORPHO have both been consolidating for a while - just broke out, and people just made a ton of money on BTC. Those profits usually want to rotate somewhere, which is why you tend to see altcoins pop off after a BTC move. Lots of ifs and thens, but long-story short; so long as BTC plays ball, successful bullish retests of key areas will likely result in more upside for the strong altcoins. Your job is to find the best setups, get in, and get out before the music stops. That last bit is important to keep in mind. Short-term trading Altcoins can be very profitable, but it can also turn against you quickly. Manage your stops well if this is something you want to pursue, don't be the guy left holding the bag. All in all, the market is in an interesting spot. Bitcoin moved significantly, altcoins look ready to keep pushing. Depending on what happens in the next few weeks, we'll either have an early start to the new bull market on our hands, or a month or two of reaccumulation before the real fun begins. Either way, opportunity is becoming less scarce, and the market is more fun for it. Will be sharing more regular updates so long as this keeps up, as theres stuff to talk about now. DCA transactions for the week complete, hoping to get another pop in MORPHO & HYPE to take my first profits for the new cycle, before it even really gets moving ;-) Those profits would flow into BTC, btw. Anyway. Let's make some money this week!

Monday (Tuesday) Open - Weekly Market Update - August 18

2026-08-18T09:35:57.466Z

Hello everyone, it has been a while. I spent the past three weeks exploring the British countryside, enjoying the peace and quiet, drinking loads of tea and coffee, eating well, and, overall, recharging to prepare for the new bull market on the horizon. It's been great to get away from it all, but as the weeks went on, I more and more felt the itch of getting back to work. It's good to be back! I hope you are doing as well as I am. Let's get into a new update on the market, which from the looks of it - should be pretty light despite my three week absence, the market has barely moved an inch. That being said, there are some interesting developments nonetheless. While the price has barely moved, I feel the weekly chart has still moved in the right direction. Another three weeks have passed, bringing us closer to where a bottom usually forms: a year after the cycle highs. In this case, that'd mean a bottom forms right around the start of Q4 - just nine weeks away. Obviously not an exact science even if that pattern repeats (which it may not) - but it ties in well with my accumulation planning - and thus I keep my eyes on the start of Q4. Obviously, the rest of the weekly chart leaves very little to discuss. The past 4 weekly candles have all traded within a $3,300 range. Not much has happened. And yet, if we zoom in to the daily chart, there is one clear takeaway; the bulls are regaining control. However, we usually start to see more action again towards the start of September, with volume and volatility picking up again as people return from their summer breaks. The real fight for support happens then, and until then, all I can do is stay the course. Dollar. Cost. Average. ALTCOINS The altcoins landscape is not much different. Many coins have been struggling these past few weeks, pulling back or even making new lows. HYPE is an outlier, in the sense that it pulled back earlier and is now promisingly reclaiming some levels - not too dissimilar from how I thought it would go. Still holding those bags, and expecting it to do well again once the market wraps up its summer lull. Still liking that chart. ONDO & JTO are still in there re-accumulation stages. Both had a solid bottom form in the first half of the year, and broke out - but haven't found the strength to keep pushing higher just yet. All fine by me, I accumulated in this range, and might pick up some more here and there if we really get a good discount again. Missed that opportunity on JTO to buy sub $0.50, that would've been a good opportunity to buy some more. Plan remains the same, holding both until they're trading significantly higher. Haven't scoured for new altcoin opportunities - but as you know I don't wanna overinvest in alts too much, so unless I find a golden opportunity, I don't think i'll be adding more altcoins to my holdings anytime soon anyway. Will let you know if that changes, of course. STOCKS The stock market printed new all-time highs during my absence, further pushing the portfolio into profits. I simply continue to DCA every month - while monitoring my individual stocks for larger spikes higher to trim those positions and move them into the S&P instead. The idea is to eventually have a completely passive stock portfolio that auto-compounds its way into retirement - while using Bitcoin as a turbocharger for that process, and so far - it's working well. Slowly reduce individual stocks, accumulate ETFs, chill. I feel like the market is 'due' a larger correction, but those things are hard to predict, and may be a while before they actually come. As such, I'm not trying to time the market - simply DCA-ing while having funds ready for a lump sum purchase if that larger correction finally comes. Perhaps around the midterms, would make sense with BTC Q4 bottom as well. Q&A? I think this week would be a good time for a Q&A session, either livestreamed or through the chat feature. Anything you guys wanna discuss? Closing That's all for this week. Will keep you posted on positioning changes as usual, let me know if theres a need for Q&A session - and as always, have a great week! Cheers, J

ONDO DCA. Position nearly completed. One more DCA tranch next week, and then I'm letting it ride.

Monday Open - Weekly Market Update - June 29

No major positioning changes in the last week; although the DCA process continues. We added to BTC and S&P exposure, while also increasing ONDO exposure. I was able to scoop a teeny-tiny position in JTO before it started moving again as well, but it's so tiny that I didn't even bother to report it on here just yet - which means it's also nothing to celebrate. If it runs from here, I might just be able to take the wife to dinner once, nothing more. Anyway, we've got some exciting things happening in the market again, so let's have a look at whats going on - and I'll circle back to how I'm reacting to it - if at all. First things first, Michael Saylor is in a bit of a pickle. The mess surrounding STRC is putting pressure on the market that we'd have been better off without. STRC is down 25-30% from before this situation started, and the further it goes down, the more pressure it puts on Strategy to sell BTC. It's nothing Saylor can't get out of (buy back STRC to reduce the dividend obligations, though that itself eats into the cash reserve they're already short on - so might mean selling some BTC), and it doesn't really affect BTC in the long-run, but it's something to keep an eye on nonetheless. We've seen relative strength in Altcoins lately - it wouldn't surprise me if that is partially because STRC is causing BTC to underperform at the moment. All in all, interesting to follow just to know why the market is moving the way it does - but nothing to make me change course. DCA continues, STRC in trouble or not. This STRC situation puts the market on edge, which has BTC slowly bleeding lower. As a result, we just put in a weekly close below $60k, for the first time since 2024 - also closing below the 200w MA for the first time since 2023. All it means to me is that we're getting closer to the bottom, which is exactly why I'm DCA-ing. Will amp up the buys if we get $52k and/or the closer we get to October. Systematically executing the plan, and so far, the price of Bitcoin is playing along nicely. On the daily, I'm seeing buying interest despite the STRC situation. Price keeps showing wicks into $59k, with a daily bullish divergence locked in as well. So while the weekly shows a breakdown - the daily indicates we might actually get some relief soon. All hinges on STRC and what Saylor does next. We can count on him to do something crazy though - so let's just see what we get, and I'll stick to the plan in the meantime. I mentioned relative strength on Altcoins earlier on, so it was a matter of time before we zoomed in on that a little. You guys know about HYPE, ONDO & JTO which I have mentioned before. HYPE is holding well in my opinion, still holding in the same consolidative structure above previous cycle highs. Feels very much like a 'recharge before the next leg higher' type situation. ONDO is a different story, it's weaker, but still holds a good structure on the higher timeframes. I'd have invalidated this one already if it were a trade, but as discussed when I opened this position - it's more of a fundamental bet on RWA doing well in the bull, and that bet hasn't changed. Chart still looks sound on the higher-timeframes as well, so just letting it run and using the discount to accumulate some more here and there, including a small buy today. Then there's JTO, the coin I was able to buy just very little of before it started moving. Just about 20% of what I like to have as a small altcoin position. Nothing noteworthy, but it's ran 15% from my entry already - so just letting it run and seeing if I can't get another opportunity to load up some more. Thesis is intact, just a shame I didn't buy more before it started running. It happens, so we just stick to the plan, never chase a bag. The reason why I don't chase is simple, there will always be another opportunity. One of those opportunities could be coming soon in the form of EIGEN. I attached the chart, looks like an accumulation structure that just broke out & now retests it. Price currently sits on the 100d EMA, usually a good setup for higher. No position as of yet since I'd rather wait for BTC to decide what's next - but again an interesting project both chart-wise and fundamentally. Monitoring closely over the next weeks. My next steps I'll keep it simple, I'm continuing to DCA. Primarily the weekly BTC & monthly S&P buys - but also trying to DCA some more on ONDO & JTO. Letting HYPE ride until $100 where I plan to take my first profits. Paying close attention to EIGEN, might want to take on a small position there as well. Not much to update in stocks other than that my DCA from last week seems nicely timed, the S&P is bouncing from the 50EMA and looks ready to push higher once more. Not that it matters - the time horizon on this position is years, not weeks. Anyway - that's it from me today. Hope it helps! Cheers
