uRich<\/a> (the trader I copy) dropped all their old longs at the same time as closing out over $2,000 of profit in shorts. Perhaps the fees were too big or they decided to start fresh from where they closed them (in the $69,000 to $70,000 area)? I don’t know but it surprised me as it meant taking an overall loss of about $1,300. It was VERY nice to see them managing their equity – and therefore mine – as prices continued to drop. Look at this:<\/p>\n![\"04f2befdd63cbfc891d476a9c134943cd4de1113c0df7a1d90345d0cd5a6972a.png\"](\"https:\/\/cdn.publish0x.com\/prod\/fs\/images\/04f2befdd63cbfc891d476a9c134943cd4de1113c0df7a1d90345d0cd5a6972a.png\")
<\/p>\n
That’s a trader who’s actively covering the big long losses by shorting, taking profit where they can and keeping things from liquidating. Good stuff.<\/p>\n
’26 Picks<\/h2>\n
All my altcoin choices seem to be bottoming out, too: their descent has slowed significantly, hopefully indicating that things are turning the corner. Though PUMP dropped quite badly this week, now only 20% up!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
And yes, before you ask, that little corner of my brain is shouting at me for not selling when they were all up at least 20%. But these are my picks for the year and it’s only February, dammit. Breathe. Give them time. Wait for the rally.<\/p>\n
How was your week? Do you think we’re back into a period of tentatively rebuilding or are you planning buys at $40k?
