We remain patient in the face of this price action.
In fact, it's been many months since we've expressed any bullishness over long time frames.
At heart, we're trend followers. We're not here to stand in the way of the market. Rather, we want to keep our approach simple and ride the ebbs and flows of the tape to make our money.
Unless you're looking at your charts upside down, it's been difficult to ignore what's been happening in this space, be it in recent weeks or over the last year.
In the aftermath of the collapse of FTX, more parties will be exposed. Grayscale refuses to prove its reserves, and WETH has recently lost its trading peg to ETH.
In the parlance of Mr. Buffett, only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked.

Our International Hall Of Famers list is composed of the 100 largest US-listed international stocks, or ADRs. We’ve also sprinkled in some of the largest ADRs from countries that did not make the market cap cut.
These stocks range from some well-known mega-cap multinationals such as Toyota Motor and Royal Dutch Shell to some large-cap global disruptors such as Sea Ltd and Shopify.
It’s got all the big names and more--but only those that are based outside the US. You can find all the largest US stocks on our original Hall of Famers list.
The beauty of these scans is really in their simplicity.
We take the largest names each week and then apply technical filters in a way that the strongest stocks with the most momentum rise to the top.
Based on the market environment, we can also flip the scan on its head and filter for weakness.
Let’s dive in and take a look at some of the most important stocks from around the world.
In late September, we highlighted the prior-cycle highs for the top commodity contracts.
The question was whether these levels would hold as support. So far, they have. But it’s two months later, and we’re asking the same question as those 2018 highs come into play again.
Let’s check back in on these critical levels of resistance turned support for clarity heading into year-end.
For crude oil futures, 76 is still our line in the sand:
It coincides with its 2018 highs, its July pivot highs from last year, and this year’s September pivot lows. Former resistance has turned into support.
