if you're longing anything, just focus on the winners. leaders are leaders for a reason. Although they change day to day, the current ones are dydx, AAVE, LIT, XPL, GRASS, and a few solana coins like JTO/MET.

$DYDX The flavor of the week. https://t.co/pADte17vaE

cant believe I'm thinking about longing dydx wtf is going on here...

Sometimes doing nothing is the best trade. $DYDX has spent multiple sessions holding structure and absorbing volatility. The longer price remains compressed, the more attention the eventual breakout deserves. Watching for momentum to return. Sharing via @coinexcreators #DYDX #Crypto #CoinEx

I still think about how dydx fumbled so hard with their first mover advantage

$DYDX (4h) couldn't find support around VAL + Weekly + AVWAP and even backtested the VAL below as a resistance. Next potential support zone could be at the top of the prevoous range and POC's https://t.co/zJIcxo4Jc7

$DYDX (4h) with good reaction from the Support Box. Expected initial rejection around POC, holding above ~$0.13 is crucial for more upside! https://t.co/2bmJlktMNb
