In the near absence of alternative themes to drive this morning’s market, crypto has the stage to itself.
In the near absence of alternative themes to drive this morning’s market, crypto has the stage to itself. Bitcoin continues its weeklong run higher, bringing with it the usual players (MSTR, COIN, HUT). Experienced investors will remind themselves, though, that the market has entered what is probably the least attended stretch of trading (possibly second to the days between Christmas and New Year’s). It’s never a good idea to execute a trade out of boredom. The movers on offer today, a Friday towards the end of August, are not what most would consider to be high percentage plays. Nevertheless, the Kapnotes trading board will remain vigilant for tradable opportunities as they emerge during the session. See our blog piece “Discretion Is the Better Part of Valor.” (linked on the board to /blog/2026-08-17-discretion-is-the-better-part-of-valor.html)
