VPEC new price hikes on Epiwafers today.
Positive bottleneck read through on companies like $IQE and Landmark (3081) in terms of pricing power/demand for epiwafers.
This follows $MTSI investment into IQE to secure capacity, and shows how important some of these chokepoints are.
(disclosure: have positions in IQE)
$IREN back down -34% from $70 to $46.
I wonder if one of the dumbest communities on X finally learned to read?
$NBIS is objectively the better Neocloud, with actual financing.
-> Nvidia didn’t fund $IREN at all. They got a free purchase agreement to let IREN use their logos and dilute for GPUS.
$NVDA actually gave $NBIS capital.
-> $IREN is facing endless dilution like $BKKT, $ASST, $SLNH as retail wealth transfers capital over from $6,000,000,000 ATMs, on a dwindling “5 GW capacity” moat.
$NBIS actually uses equity appreciating financing structures.
And this is reflected in the YTD differences between them both.
I’ve said the same thing last year too. One is up ~100%.
The other is flat, and even negative depending on entry points.
IREN is literally a marketing company at this point by how they manage to convince retail to wealth transfer over capital.
$BTC I’ve had a lot of fun with altcoins, making substantial profits.
The situation here is quite clear to me.
At the moment, I’m not looking for swing trades or long-term positions, but only long scalps, at least until we see a genuine breakout by the bulls in this resistance zone.
The price is still respecting the same channel, so the plan remains unchanged:
continue to trade within the structure, focusing mainly on the Monday Range, which remains the primary reference point for quick entries.
Trading plan (scalp):
Look for quick long trades on pullbacks within the channel
Preferably enter near the Monday Range or intraday support levels
Quick take-profits, without trying to anticipate breakouts
Avoid forcing positions until the bulls show a genuine break above the resistance
As long as the structure remains this way, the strategy is simple:
scalp within the range and manage positions quickly.

As you know, I am not a holder, and in fact I have very few altcoins in my portfolio. This is one of the rare exceptions.
It is a name I chose consciously and I will continue to accumulate it slowly, without haste and without emotion.
If the idea works and the project goes ahead, fine: I will have been right in my selection and timing.
If, on the other hand, it goes badly, even to zero, it won't change anything for me: it's a calculated risk, taken into account from the outset.
That's the point.
Don't fall in love with the name, don't tell yourself stories, don't get your hopes up.
Just make a clear-headed decision about how much risk you want to allocate to that asset, and that's it.
This is the most profitable market in history.
Stocks are now extending gains to a new high of the day, the S&P 500 up +1.5%.

I was one of the first #ONEPIECE Piece fans! When no one else watched it and I had to wait a day or two to see the next episode, that was pure joy!
Many were still embryonic. I was 13 years old when I started watching it.
