An entire week of intensive experiments. Day after day, Emily developed new trading approaches, testing them on volatile assets. Evening of December 19th — a live hamster with a tag reading NEWBEE is found in a cabinet. How did it get there? How did it survive? Unknown.
She takes it out, gives it water, places the cage next to the monitor.
Bitcoin: $90K, but overheated
Open interest in futures contracts surged from 304,000 to 310,000 BTC. Funding rate jumped from 0.04% to 0.09%. At a local peak, this is a classic signal of overheating and an approaching correction.
CryptoQuant: Bearish Phase
Transactions fell from 460,000 to 438,000. Active addresses dropped from 43,300 to 41,500. Speculators are exiting the market.
The Paradox: Traditional Finance in Euphoria
While Bitcoin struggles, traditional markets are in extreme euphoria. Dow Jones, gold, and silver are at all-time highs. Bitcoin trades 30% below its peak ($126K). This represents long-term capital reallocation from crypto to equities.
Coinbase + Prediction Markets
Coinbase acquired The Clearing Company to develop prediction markets (Polymarket, Kalshi). In reality, platforms profit from volatility and excitement, not long-term growth.
For traders: volatility remains, but there's no clear trend. Ideal conditions for intraday trading.
RATS (Ratscoin) is an ERC-20 token built on Ethereum with a functional ecosystem:
Deflationary model — tokens become scarcer over time
PoS staking — holders earn rewards
Community governance — token holders vote on protocol updates
Reflection mechanism — percentage from each transaction redistributed to holders
Metrics RATS (December 23, $0.00004097):
24h change: +1.54%
Market Cap: $41.49M
Volume 24h: $10.71M (+21.01%)
Vol/Mkt Cap: 25.64% — 5x above normal
Vol/Mkt Cap of 25.64% indicates extremely intense trading. The crowd operates in panic and excitement. For experienced traders: volatile, but physically predictable. If you catch impulses with the right system, it delivers profits.
Asset: RATS/USDT (Bybit)
Signal: Bounce from lower band of Keltner Channel on strong downward impulse
Entry: Supertrend switched from red to green
Exit: Williams %R crossed -20 level
Result: +92.49%
Trade History:
December 19 — sharp RATS selloff. Price dropped hard, hitting the lower Keltner Channel band (oversold signal). Supertrend switched from red to green, indicating trend reversal and bulls entering. Emily opened a long position. Williams %R crossed -20 (bulls exhausted) — exit signal.
Why It Worked:
Nothing supernatural. Simple impulse on a volatile asset:
Price fell sharply (panic, liquidations)
Technical levels worked perfectly (Keltner showed the zone, Supertrend confirmed)
Exit was precise (WPR caught the exhaustion moment)
Key observation: The system worked again. Keltner Channel continues to show exact entry zones. Supertrend didn't give false signals.
On small caps where Vol/Mkt Cap jumps between 20-30%, these approaches work more reliably than on large caps like BTC and ETH. The crowd panics and liquidates itself. We simply read the chart math and take our slice.
💭 Emily's Reflections
Evening. NEWBEE sleeps in the cage next to the monitor. Emily closed the terminal and reclined in her chair.
Seven days of intensive experiments. Each day — new position, new asset, new story. Not all trades were perfect, but the system held. Indicators worked. Discipline saved her from errors.
She remembered the voice from the radio. "Check neighboring timeframes. There's noise there," the unknown voice said. That advice was invaluable — it saved her from losses on SUI.
But here's what she knew for certain:
Market in transition. Bears advancing, bulls retreating. Leverage rising. Liquidation risk at maximum. Capital bleeding on alts.
But between these losses appear windows — impulses, recoveries, volatility spikes. These windows are open for those who know where to look.
She looked at sleeping NEWBEE.
— You know what's funny? — Emily said aloud. — All these crashes on RATS, all this chaos in alts... And here lives a real furry miracle. Small. Alive. With black button eyes. And it survived. Because it found shelter in the safest place — among wires and junk.
The hamster stirred in its sleep, whiskers twitching.
Emily smiled and wrote the final note in her lab journal:
"RATS worked perfectly. Keltner Channel never misses. Supertrend only goes quiet when there's no trend — otherwise it's spot on. The market is slowly cooling, but for scalping it's even better than a trend. A scalper loves volatility, not direction.
NEWBEE sleeps beside me. Survived in the cabinet thanks to instinct. We survive in the market thanks to system. Difference is only in the tools."
On the desk, among stickers and notes, lay a new sheet of paper. One word written in firm, straight handwriting:
"KAY"
