OSF Points At ETH's Last Great Candle — And Says What Came After (no chart)

No stream tonight; the tape runs on tweets instead

No Rekt Mkts replay was live by this edition's build time, so the paper turns to OSF's posts from the last day. The big one: a reminder of ETH's last +20% daily candle — May 8, 2025, a $1,811 open into a $2,207 close — and the +125% run that followed over three months, "don't forget the ETH-related coins that ran along with it."

The ETH Candle Lesson (no chart)

OSF's 16:22 UTC post asks when you last saw ETH print a +20% daily candle: May 8, 2025, opened at $1,811, closed at $2,207. What followed, by his count, was a +125% move over the next three months — and a reminder that the ETH-adjacent coins ran along with it. A setup argument, offered as a memory of what happened after the last such candle.

Max Long Crypto, Full Stop (no chart)

Quoting a @tradfi post about Trump/CFTC and Hyperliquid, OSF: "just feels like u should be max long crypto rn" — and everything onchain that ran over the last couple of weeks and sold off "should hit new ATHs," closed with "but what do i know." Stated position, not a call to arms.

Strategy Doctrine, Recut (no chart)

Quoting a clip of himself, the reminder: find a strategy that fits your own skillset instead of copying daily runners or meme-coin flips — and in a bull market, hold the mispriced trade longer for the higher EV.
