CAKE trade review

Let’s start with why we decided to enter the CAKE trade. First, despite the broader risk-off environment, CAKE was rallying and has given over 100% in a few days. However, it was pressing against its downtrend.

Looking for potential reasons for this rally, we found that CZ (the founder of Binance) was pushing memes on Binance Smart Chain (BSC). So activity was picking up there, and CAKE being the main DEX there, some traders were betting on it as a proxy.

However, we were sceptical about memes running sustainably due to a broader risk-off environment and the underlying tech of BSC, which is still expensive and slower relative to Solana or Base.

UX was still bad compared to other protocols, so fundamentals-wise, it was hard to be bullish on CAKE mid to long-term. The zoomed-out chart confirmed our thesis:

Also, we didn’t like the wicks that CAKE had around the $2.6 - $2.8 region. Combined with the fact that it was pressing against the downtrend, we said we are cautiously building shorts, with the aim of averaging down all the way to $3.5-$4 and taking profits at around $2 and less.

However, after a few failed attempts to break the downtrend, CAKE broke down, validating our thesis. However, during the recent Hyperliquid incident, we decided to close the trade prematurely, securing a profit of over 30%.

Hyperliquid is where our trade was running, and we didn’t want to have exposure to the protocol just in case the situation escalated, and we lost money somehow. For us, capital preservation is the key.

However, the Hyperliquid incident has been solved, and we have started reentering the trade at slightly higher prices than the closure price, with the aim of building shorts all the way to $2.8.


Cryptonary’s take

One of the lessons we learned from it, despite being right in the direction and closing the trade in profit, we were oversized in this position, which caused some emotional discomfort.

However, profit is profit, and we move on to the next one. We will gradually reenter this trade, averaging down to $2.8. We also have some more quality setups coming in the future. Stay tuned!

Peace!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
