What a nice week! An expected TACO and everything turns around.
The FaG is back into the 20s, BTC and ETH have had several little pumps, the prices held at the end of the week… it’s all good.
And on top of that, I happened to be sitting here looking at ETH when it did that dip down to $2.3k in the middle of the week! Grabbed instantly with my “up” half of my dual trading USDT (at $2303.09, to be precise), then sold it the next day at $2,421.40 – a very nice and unexpected 5% profit. That “up” half has gone back in at around $2,358 in case the upwards rise continues. My “down” half is waiting to act at $2,100, where things would fall to if support isn’t sufficient to keep the small bull moving (though I may move that to $2,200 for the third support point – you remember Barchart, don’t you?).
Anyway, this week’s numbers:
Already about a third of the way back up from the end-of-year loss point, which is very reassuring. That could change very quickly (especially if the TACO has another mental spasm), but my parts of the equation are solid: Trading’s earning, Banking’s earning. Any drop should be smaller for me than for the market as a whole. “Should”.
In detail:
- Trading up 3.20%
- Copy Trading up 0.39%
- Banking up 5.60%
- Overall up 4.11%
It’s also the end of a month here on p0x, so it’s time to see how I’m doing against my hoped-for “6% per month to double in a year” target. To be honest, not very hopeful with prices stagnating for so long, but let’s see if this week’s bump helped:
- Trading up 7.57%
- Copy Trading down 1.33%
- Banking up 5.85%
- Overall up 6.02%
Ooof! That was close! Copy Trading is – once again – the big disappointment in the room, losing money when everyone else is gaining. Despite my growing ire with those so-called professionals (two of whom are actually doing well, while the third drags them all down), I’m not going to touch it. I promised myself I wouldn’t, so I’m leaving them to do their thing and pretty much ignoring it – with only about 7.5% of my total funds in there, it’s not like they can break anything major any more.
And here’s the tracking:
How easy it is to spot what’s falling behind when you have all that green and one ugly red. All the others are nicely ahead of schedule, too – 10 days for Banking, a month or more for both parts of Trading. Building up a bit of a buffer in case things go pear-shaped!
’26 Picks
Nothing much to report here: all my picks for best cryptos for 2026 have followed the market, like good little doggies. All up a few percent, no big pumps, nothing very interesting.
I suspect these will have to wait for the big push later in the year to go anywhere, let alone head towards 2x, 3x or better. Part of me wonders if they’re going to multiply at all, but hey, it’s a waiting game, right?
How was your week? Big profit? Slow climb? Tell me everything… 🙂
