𝕏 Spot plays rn: First, what are some of the difference between spot and perps trades? The best traders have no difference because they use leverage appropriately but most retail traders have poor execution problems with perps (myself included). it could be sizing too large, cutting the trade too quickly (or holding on too long), and being too indecisive or not thought out. For me, perps are better used for intraday or faster trades in general, while spot trades are better for sitting on a position for days on end (or much more).
Spot trades are slower, they aren't going to move immediately, and they require patience. 1 advantage to buying spot for many trades is that the trade idea is well thought out and you also generally get a pretty good entry because it's a buy before the actual big move happens. But you are going to be tempted to chase momentum when different coins move. You need to be pretty confident your coin isn't going to nuke to $0, so coins that have insanely high volatility in the current time are probably not as good spot trades IMO.
Ofc you can trade fully with spot for any long any way, nothing wrong with that. It's not as capital efficient but helps against misexecution.
Some trades I'm eyeing right now that are a bit slower ones but the charts still look great (IMO):
$NEAR: I think this coin is just going to keep chopping around but I think that it's eventually going to have a decent move. It's 1 of the best looking charts in crypto right now IMO.
$HYPE: This is also a slow mover, has chopped in this range for the last 2 months or so. I like this time based consolidation and it will take a bit more time before the move to $100 IMO.
$XPL: Obviously this 1 got totally decimated but it's down 95% but still has a great team, relevant product, and a narrative that is 1 of the best in crypto. This type of trade could take weeks on end but you almost certainly make a few x from current prices.

AI Reasoning
Clear up call on XPL ('almost certainly make a few x from current prices'). No explicit numeric target given — 'a few x' is not a specific number and no P0 anchor is provided in absolute terms to compute. 'Almost certainly' with 'IMO' framing throughout post = mild_hedge.
Duration reasoning
Outcome = XPL makes a few x from current prices. 'This type of trade could take weeks on end' is bound to the outcome duration; 'weeks on end' maps to 'coming weeks' → 14 days.
