Dear Tulips Fam 🌷 — A Calm Market Speaks Loudly if You Listen
After taking some time to step back and truly read the market, one thing is becoming very clear: this is not a speed phase, it’s a patience phase.
Market volume remains thin, and most short-term moves lack conviction. In environments like this, many breakouts fail, fake signals dominate, and emotional trading becomes expensive. This is exactly the kind of market where short- to mid-term traders slowly get drained, not by one big loss, but by endless chop and overtrading.
What we are experiencing now is a time-based capitulation. Instead of sharp crashes, the market exhausts participants mentally and financially. Confidence fades, discipline slips, and capital slowly disappears.
With year-end holidays approaching and no strong upside catalysts in sight, it’s reasonable to expect continued slow and uneven price action, potentially stretching well into 2026. That doesn’t mean opportunity is gone — it means opportunity is changing its form.
This phase is best used to:
Reduce unnecessary trading
Protect capital
Study market structure
Research emerging narratives
Prepare positioning for Q1 2026
The fun phases always return — but only those who survive the quiet ones get to enjoy them.
I’ll stay focused on identifying new narratives as they develop and will share insights when the signal becomes clearer.
Stay patient. Stay sharp. 🌱
