Day of 2026-01-19: 10-Cent Line in the Sand - everywhere

This has been a high-stakes weekend. We saw $HIVE test the nerves of every holder, dipping to a terrifying 9.8 cents before the "Sunday Recovery" pushed us back over the psychological 10-cent barrier.

Daily Position Update: Jan 18 vs. Jan 19

I have liquidated my entire $LOLZ holding (90k+ units) from the balance sheet here, to capitalize on the $DAB entry.

Asset	Qty (Jan 18)	Qty (Jan 19)	Change	Value ($HIVE)
$BBH	183,540.80	183,433.45	-107.35	199.64
$BBHO	38,319.32	38,509.38	+190.06	183.97
$DAB	0.00	1,377.87	Added	1,170.90
$SURGE	204.47	203.92	-0.55	287.50
$TGLD	21.96	22.02	+0.06	608.45
$TTSLA	55.24	55.28	+0.04	1,620.44

The $SURGE Strategy: Stake & Harvest

My decision to stake $SURGE pays off every Monday, this time with 766.448 units.

• Yield Realized: The stake produced 2.211 $HBD. At current market rates ($HIVE @ ~$0.106), that yield is worth roughly 20.8 $HIVE

• Passive Mechanics: Beyond $SURGE, I am seeing consistent performance from my $BASE blockchain yields, providing a multi-chain buffer against Hive’s volatility. $SURGE is paying $USDC on $BASE!

Market Volume & Sentiment

$SURGE remains the undisputed king of my trading desk, but we are seeing a "diversification of hype."

• Volume Leaderboard: $SURGE (46.6%) still dominates

• The Alchemist Entry: $DAB has immediately claimed 4.9% of my daily volume, signaling my commitment to this new yield-bearing asset.

$SURGE: the 🛣️ to the 15% Allocation

Recently added more timestamps, I have analyzed my historical trade data for $SURGE, covering the 75-day period leading up to my recent portfolio rebalancing. This report provides a granular look at how I built my current position, highlighting the transition from small-scale testing to the massive "capitulation buying" I executed in the final 72 hours.

Performance Summary

My total trading activity reflects a high-conviction "bottom-fishing" strategy. While I started with tiny entries, I heavily weighted my capital toward the recent price floor.

• Total Quantity in Scope: 118.154 Units

• Total Trading Volume: 756.46 $HIVE (equivalent)

• Total Accumulated Gain: 79.655 $SURGE

• Total Interest: 7.985 units (suggesting a ~6.7% yield-on-volume from staking/passive mechanics).

• Total Net Gain: 71.67 $SURGE => 60% of 2x

Key Efficiency Metrics

Metric	Value	Significance
Top Day Gain %	41.56% (Day 72)	Shows my portfolio is highly reliant on "timing the bottom."
Volume-to-Gain Ratio	~10.5%	For every 10 $HIVE traded, I am realizing roughly 1 $HIVE in pure gain.
Interest Contribution	7.98 Units	My passive yield is now equivalent to ~10% of my total realized gains.

Final Takeaway

This report confirms that my recent pivot, moving $SURGE to a 15% portfolio weighting, was not an impulsive move. It was the culmination of 74 days of data, the picture isn't complete, but rosy, and with more details on the period the comparison will be even higher.
