20250702 recap



It is summertime and we are grinding higher on all time highs (in the cash markets)


It looked like we could liquidate a bit but anticipating liquidations is a bad idea
As sitting in long positions in this location is also a bad idea i would summarize:

Opportunity is low in the moment

News

Condition 1
otf up
flagpole

Condition 0
open in thursdays range

Thoughts
nothing has changed
we are in a low opportunity environment
Sitting in longs is dangerous because we already moved. If at all, then after a liquidation
Anticipating liquidations is a loosers game
Following liquidations (that already run) is difficult because they are often short lived. It only makes sense if it seems to be a larger liquidation

We never know what come, so lets see, but do not expect much

High opportunites will come back sooner or later
