Trade Ideas
Re-entered Zcash for potential upside
After rage-closing his Zcash position, he re-entered a small nibble because he still finds it an interesting trade on a privacy coin with potential upside, though he is not fully committed.
Hyperliquid decoupling, long HYPE
Hyperliquid is decoupling from Bitcoin as it hits new all-time highs while BTC is flat. The product is superior to any other trading platform, with growing institutional interest (CEO of ICE comments, CFTC clearing a Bitcoin perpetual). Thread Guy is long HYPE and expects it to reach $100 by end of June.
Short ETH due to weakness
ETH looks horrific, down 6.3% after David Hoffman publicly capitulated. He explicitly says 'short B&B and ETH is the basket,' indicating a bearish view on Ethereum and sees it as uninteresting and underperforming.
Long VVV for local AI
VVV is one of the few good expressions of the local AI model trade. He finds the chart interesting and believes it has potential, despite being a small-cap token at around $1B market cap.
Long Reddit at 142
He states he is long Reddit at $142 and notes the stock is up 24% since then, implying a bullish view on the name based on that entry.
