Choppy PA continues on LTFs for $BTC so reverting to volume for a better read and bullish OBV seems to be holding up at the moment (sunny sky) favouring impulses to the upside. Flying back to England on the 5th and will be back to full swing on the 6th. Have a good new years

Sample portfolio for 2026 (not financial advice, just some ideas on narratives we're watching carefully!) $BTC because $BTC is $BTC and always will be $ETH because #defi is going to run on #Ethereum and literally everyone in finance wants a piece of #DefiInnovation $SOL because native #web3 apps need somewhere easy and fast and cheap to live, and #Solana has the chops $CC because the whole traditional finance sector is catching up, they're already using it, and they all seem to love Canton's programmable privacy $LINK because the confluence of tradfi and #crypto can't happen without #Chainlink $ZEC because Zcash's privacy is non-negotiable, and nor is yours $HYPE because you can believe the #hype for once, and #Hyperliquid is #hype + genuine #use $KALSHI or $POLYMARKET because would you bet against them launching a token this year? $PENGU because #crypto is supposed to be fun, and penguins, pudgy or otherwise, are just cool $FLUID because nobody in #defi ships more, faster, and with more creative #insights than the Fluid team A couple are obvious, a couple from left field - what are your picks for '26?

#2026CryptoFlag A new year is upon us, and 2026 promises a hopeful horizon for the crypto world. Thanks to this meaningful event by Gate Square, I want to proudly raise my own crypto flag: My priority is solid, well-founded projects like BTC, ETH, XRP, and SOL; my goal is to improve myself, benefit the community, and contribute to the wider reach of the crypto ecosystem while achieving sustainable gains. My investment goals for 2026 are based on building a portfolio resilient to market fluctuations. I see Bitcoin (BTC) as the indispensable digital gold; it will provide stable growth with a long-term holding strategy. Ethereum (ETH), as the locomotive of the smart contracts and DeFi ecosystem, will continue to be a cornerstone of innovative projects. Ripple (XRP), with its potential to revolutionize cross-border payments and increase financial accessibility, while Solana (SOL) is a pioneer in scalable blockchain solutions with its high speed and low costs. The reason I prioritize these coins is not just for short-term gains, but for their real-world applications and long-term value creation capacity. In my trading strategies, I will adopt a disciplined approach: minimizing risks with regular dollar cost averaging (DCA), using technical analysis tools more effectively, and following market sentiment from dynamic communities like Gate Square. While my ultimate goal, like everyone else, is to achieve financial freedom and profit, I will accomplish this through conscious moves rather than hasty decisions. In terms of personal development, 2026 will be a learning marathon for me. I will delve into Layer-2 solutions, Web3 integrations, and next-generation DeFi protocols. I will strengthen my blockchain development skills by drawing inspiration from Gate.io's educational resources and expert sharing on Square. Most importantly, contributing to the community: I will regularly share my insights on Gate Square, guide newcomers, and participate in meaningful discussions. The crypto ecosystem only grows through knowledge sharing and mutual support. This year, I will integrate my own development with the growth of the community. Gate Square family, let's achieve even greater successes together in 2026! This flag represents not just my vision, but our shared vision: a smarter, stronger, and more profitable crypto world.
