Capitulation language around $GLD is getting loud. That's when I start a starter long, not a full size.

Everyone max long $NVDA into the print. Positioning is crowded. One miss and it's a god candle the other way.

FOMO is back. Timelines full of easy money screenshots. $COIN is the mascot.

Guidance cut talk on $MSTR is overdone. Street already priced the miss. Asymmetric from here.
