Will There (Ever) Be A Altseason Again?
There’s a growing narrative that altseason is dead—that the market is too diluted with meme coins and low-quality projects for alts to ever rally again.
That take? Completely wrong imho.
Sure, there are millions of new tokens floating around, especially within the Solana meme bubble, but that doesn’t mean real altcoins won’t have their time to shine.
The “Altseason is Dead” Argument is Flawed
A lot of people assume that because we now have thousands of random coins launching daily, the market is

🚨Trade Challenge/ Bot Update — Day 5
After the bot had sold almost all tokens (in profit) during the market's volatility, it started to buy new ones during the last 12 hours.
Here's an overview of the new tokens:
- $JOKER
- $BOTIFY
- $PNUT
- $zerebro
- $FLORK
- $CALICOIN
⚡️⚡️ Latest Learnings
JOKER rugged a few hours after the bot bought. The token was only 6 hours old. So, I will implement a rule change that takes the token age into account.

Trade Challenge/Bot Performance Update 🔥
Another day with massive volatility in the market. However, the market performed exceptionally again. Here's what happened.
🛒 Buys
Only two buys today:
- $ETF500 (up a few percent)
- $WETH (up 1%)
💰Sells
Volatility triggered 3 sells and delivered some nice gains:
- $FRIC Profit 19%
- $TRISIG 31% profit
- $dreams 28% profit
Overall
So far the bot has used a wallet with only $30. Since the performance has been well constantly, I will begin adding more $SOL to the wallet.

JASMY Update 🚨
JASMY is not looking good at this point.
- Caught in a severe downtrend.
- (Once again) bearish MACD crossover on the 1D chart
Looks like we might see more pain here.
Backtest results show a 72% success rate.

🔥 Chainlink (LINK) — Chart Analysis and Trade Setup
LINK bounced back strongly after the recent crash but ran into a key resistance at ~$22.
This level has proven to be a major hurdle, and until LINK breaks above it, there’s no clear confirmation for further upside.
Trade Setup & Key Levels
▸ Breakout trigger: A move above $22 would provide a clear short-term play.
▸ First profit target: $25.50, which offers a 17% upside from the breakout level.
▸ Extended target: If momentum continues, $27.50 would be the next major resistance.
▸ Profit-taking strategy: Selling 30-50% at $25.50 and letting the rest ride towards $27.50 could be a smart approach.
Final Thoughts
LINK’s structure remains strong, but for now, it needs to break $22 to confirm bullish continuation.

Trade Challenge/Bot Performance Update: A Strong Day Despite Market Turmoil
Today was a wild ride in the markets—massive crashes, volatility spikes, and overall chaos. But despite the conditions, the bot still managed to deliver solid results.
Trades Executed Today:
📈 6 Tokens Bought: $SEEK, $SNAI, $FRIC, $JITO, $DREAMS, $TRISIG
✔️ $SEEK & $SNAI: Stopped out, but both hit higher levels first, so SL was close to entry. Net loss: ~-0.5% each.
✔️ $FRIC: Currently +30% from entry.
✔️ $DREAMS: Up +25% so far.
✔️ $JITO: Small gain, sitting at +0.3%.
Final Thoughts: Overall, I’m more than satisfied with today’s performance. Given the massive sell-offs across the market, the bot still managed to enter high-potential trades and avoid major losses.
This was a great stress test, and the results show that the strategy is holding up well—even in tough conditions.
Let’s see what tomorrow brings. 🚀

I don’t get it.
China announces tariffs, and suddenly people are like, oh no, better sell my crypto!
What’s the logic here?
Just relax!

APU still stuck in its downtrend. But there’s hope. 👀
APU trades in a broadening wedge which could signal a bullish reversal.
📌 But: Trading-wise, no entry for me until we break above the trendline.
That said, fundamentally, I still believe APU has the potential to run in the next months, assuming the broader market remains bullish.
DCA levels look solid for long-term positioning, but for trading, I’m waiting for a breakout.

Bitcoin Update 🔥
$BTC back above $101K—and back in the range.
Yesterday’s dip? Just noise (once again). Hope you didn’t get shaken out.
And you know what often follows a fakeout? A strong move in the opposite direction.
But let’s keep it simple—$106K is the key breakout level. Until then, we’re still ranging.

Trade Challenge Update: A Rough Start, New Insights & A Bot in the Making
When I kicked off my 1.5K to 100K challenge, my plan was simple: copy smart money wallet trades document the journey, and post updates daily.
Unfortunately, I got hit with a sickness that threw everything off. I couldn’t execute or post as planned—but I still worked on the challenge as much as possible.
The First Days Didn’t Go as Planned 📉
I started by tracking and copying 4-5 highly profitable wallets, believing that mirroring successful traders would yield similar results.
Reality check after 5 days
It was nearly impossible to execute consistently.
Doing it manually was chaotic—by the time I saw a trade, checked liquidity, and executed, I was often late. Plus, time zones were a huge problem too.On top of that, even profitable wallets have losing streaks.
After 4 days, I was down ~40%. Clearly, this approach wasn’t sustainable.
Rethinking the Strategy
I took a step back and started analyzing what was going wrong.
It became clear that manually copy-trading was inefficient—not only because of execution speed but also because a significant number of trades went sideways. I needed a better system.
The obvious solution? A bot. Especially since I have been developing bots earlier.
Building a Bot from Scratch
After researching existing solutions, I quickly realized that none of them fit my needs. Most bots were either too basic, too slow, or lacked key filtering/customization mechanisms.
At the same time, I started brainstorming new trading approaches beyond just copy-trading wallets.
So, while being stuck in bed, I did what any obsessed crypto freak with coding knowledge would do: I started building my own bot.
For the past three weeks, I’ve been focused on:
✔️ Designing a system that can track, filter, and execute trades in real time.
✔️ Developing custom filters to avoid bad trades.
✔️ Testing different trading strategies beyond just copying wallets.
What’s Next?
I’m currently in the testing phase, fine-tuning execution speed, risk management, and overall performance.
In fact, I already ran into and fixed tons of bugs I’ve never thought about (especially in terms of on-chain execution).
In my next post, I’ll share more details about how the bot works and its features.
Disclaimer
To be clear: This post is NOT about selling or advertising the bot or offering any services around it. I’m not making it public, nor will I charge for access.
This is simply a raw insight into my journey—what worked, what didn’t, and how I adapted along the way.

DeFAI Tokens Are Running (Again)
🚀
While most tokens got slaughtered today, DeFAI tokens turned green—many pumping hard today.
Swarmnode lead the pack with +100%, followed by Orbit (+50%).
But here’s the bigger picture: most of them are still massively below their recent highs.
If this marks the beginning of a fresh uptrend, there’s serious upside ahead—especially for projects that kept building.
Here are a few standout movers today:
🔥 SwarmNode $SNAI +105% (24h) | -16% (7d)
🔥 Orbit $GRIFT +54% (24h) | -39% (7d)
🔥 Neur $NEUR +48% (24h) | -40% (7d)
🔥 Hey Anon $ANON +8.5% (24h) | -32% (7d)
Still early days for DeFAI. Who’s watching?

DeFAI tokens aren’t looking too bad today.
Some have even pumped aggressively. 🚀
However, many are still 50-70% down from their highs just a few weeks ago.
Bottom and a real bounce? Or dead cat?
Who’s buying? 👀

Upcoming AMAs ⚡️
I had a packed AMA schedule before getting sick a few weeks ago—but no worries, we’re back on track! 💥
I’m already locking in new dates with:
🔥 Orbit ($GRIFT)
🔥 Freya ($FREYA)
🔥 Hey Anon ($ANON)
Expect these AMAs to happen in about 2-3 weeks. I’ll drop official dates soon—stay tuned! 🚀

The bot is running in test mode. That means it only buys small amounts.
The goal for the next days is in fine tuning the rules (gonna publish a detailed article about it soon)
Here’s what it bought the last 12 hours.

$ETH Update 🔥
Ethereum has (once again) proved its current weakness.
Can’t remember that I’ve ever seen a 1.3K drop in like 48 hours. Brutal.
So far, the 2.1k support held but this chart does not show a clear bottom yet.
I continue to sit on my hands in terms of ETH until it found a bottom and reverses.
