Day of 2026-01-30: Beyond the Yakings, technical discipline & 24h compounding cycle
As the final days of January 2026 are here, they're providing a masterclass in volatility and the rewards of patient, process-oriented execution. In a market where many are distracted by noise, focusing on liquidity cycles and compounding remains the only sustainable way.
The $SURGE Round Trip
A significant tactical milestone was achieved as I finished one round in just 24 hours. The efficiency of this move allowed for a 24% increase in stake on both ends. This means not only was the base liquidity ($SURGE) grown, but the underlying asset position was also expanded. This type of compounding is the hallmark of a successful short-term trade executed within a long-term investment framework; it allows for aggressive growth of a position without requiring fresh external capital.
Jan 29 v Jan 30
This table breaks down the shifts in position size and $HIVE-denominated value. In a disciplined strategy, we monitor these percentages to identify where the market is overextending or where rebalancing is required.
Movement in Percent
Symbol | Balance Delta | Value Delta ($HIVE) | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
$ACE | 0.00% | 0.00% | ↔️ Neutral |
$BBH | 0.00% | 0.00% | ↔️ Neutral |
$BBHO | -0.008% | +3.51% | 📈 Value Appreciation |
$DAB | -0.001% | -0.11% | 📉 Minor Softening |
$POLYGON | 0.00% | 0.00% | ↔️ Neutral |
$SURGE | +40.96% | +290.75% | 🚀 Volatility Capture |
$TGLD | 0.00% | 0.00% | ↔️ Neutral |
$TNVDA | 0.00% | 0.00% | ↔️ Neutral |
$TTSLA | +0.28% | +0.38% | 📈 Marginal Growth |
The standout metric here is $SURGE, where the value surged by over 290% against $HIVE, paired with the 40% increase in unit balance. This confirms the "round trip" success mentioned earlier, where tactical timing captured a massive expansion in relative value.
Market 🌊 and Volume Profile
Volume is the ultimate validator of price movement. Today’s volume distribution shows an extreme concentration of activity, with two assets accounting for the vast majority of market participation.
Daily Volume Distribution
# | Symbol | % of Total Volume |
|---|---|---|
1 | SURGE | 49.32% |
2 | TNVDA | 44.72% |
3 | TGLD | 4.00% |
4 | ALIVE | 0.71% |
5 | BBHO | 0.65% |
6 | LOLZ | 0.53% |
7 | CENT | 0.04% |
8 | DAB | 0.03% |
9 | BBH | 0.00% |
10 | SPORTS | 0.00% |
Nearly 94% of the total volume is concentrated in $SURGE and $TNVDA today. While this provides the liquidity necessary for the 24% stake increase achieved today, it also signals a "thin" tail for the rest of the portfolio. In such a concentrated environment, risk management is paramount—liquidity can vanish from the lower-ranked assets instantly, making large exits difficult without significant slippage.
