    Not sure what chart that is above regarding time stamps, but didn't BTC settle above 21K on Friday RTH market close?

    That was a screenshot of my perpetual futures btc position at the time I posted. Bitcoin trades 24/7/365, here's a screenshot at this current time

    btw, there's no RTH in BTC, trades non-stop and no circuit-breakers, it can go down 99% or go up 1000%

    BTC at $21K is nothing to be excited about

    BTC has been stuck in a range for over 3 months from $18 to $22K with a one time touch of $25K
    BTC has crossed the $20K price over 50 times in that 3-month period

    If btc goes above $26K then it's something to celebrate and I'll add more to my perp futures position
    If btc goes below $19.3K again, I will be liquidated again

    NFA, just closed my BTC perps futures position, much lower profit. Very focused on my FTT perp futures position at this time

    Let's see what is going on in the crypto arena today. There is some word that I am looking for which starts with "cluster".

    FTX Token Plummets on Withdrawal Concerns, as Contagion Hits Broader Crypto Markets
    The FTT price has declined nearly 14% over the past 24 hours, with Solana's SOL and Serum's SRM taking losses along with bigger cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ether.

    Just in case it was not clear on my previous post, I was short $FTT perp futures and still am short

    *** Post is for entertainment purposes only. NFA ***

    Looking to enter a $SOL perp futures short position. FTX and Alameda were the biggest supporter of the Solana blockchain ecosystem... if then...

    NFA

    I have not put the short position on, tbh, the contagion risk from Alameda blowing up will present a lot of opportunities on the shorting side of trading

    I'm not entirely convinced Solana is the best risk-reward trade

    I could just not do a trade or short Eth or Mkr, these may have contagion risks due to collateral-based crypto assets defi systems and even to some degree staking on cefi systems

    Or, I could just wait for btc to hit a low enough price and go long

    I wish the best for your Sol and other crypto assets to do well during this time
