Insider Politician Trades
Only two heavy hitters moved this week: Tommy Tuberville went full fire sale, dumping everything from Apple to JPMorgan, over a dozen stocks sold and one big bond buy (yeah, safe play).
Meanwhile, Josh Gottheimer played portfolio Jenga with 30+ trades, mixing light buys (3M, Alibaba, AbbVie) with a broad sell-off across tech, pharma, and finance. Everyone else? Sitting tight.
📈 What Am I Trading?
The Play
Sherlock spotted a textbook retest on Bitcoin and called it clean:
Entry Zone: $104,700–$105,000 (precise touch of the 65% Fib + trendline support)
Bias: Leaning long, but with caution
Preference: Altcoins > BTC for higher reward setups due to BTC dominance resistance
The Catalyst
Bitcoin just kissed the 65% Fibonacci retracement and a major ascending trendline—both levels we’ve been tracking in TradingLab for weeks. Combine that with $BTC.D (Bitcoin dominance) bumping its head at resistance, and Sherlock’s eyeing alts for alpha while BTC holds the line. If BTC loses $104.7K, things get spicy (and not in a good way).
Our Take
This is a “high stakes but surgical” spot—Sherlock’s not blindly bullish. BTC’s hanging by a technical thread, but as long as $104.7K holds, there’s room to ride the bounce.
He’s already shifting focus to alts for better R/R while keeping BTC on a tight leash.
If you're trading solo without this kind of precision, well, good luck.
Stay ahead, stay informed, and most importantly, stay profitable.
‘til next time,
TradingLab
