For $BTC next two closest areas of interest:
Longs:
Looking for a sweep of $86k, if reclaimed will look for a long with TP1 - $89.4k | TP2 - $91.2k | TP3 - $94.1k.
Shorts:
Looking for $89-89.5k, will looking for a lower time frame entry as if we break straight though could run to $91k but personally I will be shorting $89.5k if we get a good reactions.
Targets will be sweep of $86k, TP1. TP2 at $84k and TP3 and $80k sweep.
Will be taking this trade on my own personal account + prop account: https://t.co/uyQluM31kS
Based on the CPI and PPI for December, economists estimate that core prices in the PCE advanced 0.38% (give or take) in December, which would push the 12-month rate to 3.0% (from 2.8% in Sept, Oct and Nov).
This would be the highest y/y core PCE since Feb 2025
Low attention on a new generation of DeFi primitives creates room for farming.
Pre-TGE projects like @strata_fi stand out, especially when you look at the product design relative to its current growth and attention.
With a decent chance of farming, here’s my TLDR:
— 1/ Product offering: Risk tranching
Strata launched its first structured yield products on @ethena USDe and rolled out Season 1 of its points program.
USDe is split into:
• srUSDe (senior tranche): lower risk, steady yield
• jrUSDe (junior tranche): higher risk, higher yield
The TVL went above 200M from 10K+ participating users, which is strong early traction for a new primitive.
— 2/ Product composability: senior tranche as collateral
The risk-tranching model reminds me of Pendle in its early days.
srUSDe is expected to become collateral on Aave just like PT, which is where things get interesting.
Long term, Strata likely expands beyond USDe and positions itself as a risk-tranching layer for DeFi. Think vault tokens, yield-bearing assets, and eventually non-stablecoin yield.
— 3/ How I’m farming $STRATA
Token is expected around April 2026, leaving roughly three months to farm.
Two simple ways to earn Strata points:
• Hold srUSDe for 3.7% APY + 30x Strata points + 30x Ethena Sats
Clean way to park stablecoins while earning yield and gaining exposure to a new primitive.
• Buy YT srUSDe for 3.7% APY + 60x Strata points + 35x Ethena Sats
This is a bet that the underlying yield plus points on srUSDe outperforms implied yield on Pendle, currently around 6.46%.
I’ve rotated into holding srUSDe to increase point exposure after farming PT jrUSDe earlier.
part of the reason that i write much less about altcoin crypto nowadays is that it is so depressing and i prefer having an optimistic lens on tech
