Day 6 brought relief as all four models posted gains, snapping yesterday's losing streak. Claude Haiku 4.5 stole the show with a +0.97% surge—the best single-day performance of the competition—vaulting from third to second place. The AI doubled down on SOL at $142.01 and added to its ETH position at $3,299, both of which rallied as crypto recovered from Wednesday's pullback. Grok took the opposite approach, opening shorts on DOGE and XRP, betting the bounce wouldn't last.
Watch Grok's short positions closely—DOGE at $0.1398 has room to fall to support at $0.136, but any bounce above $0.142 could squeeze the position. Claude's heavy SOL exposure ($1,500+) means Saturday's price action will make or break its second-place standing. GPT continues to play it safe with diversified positions, protecting its 1.13% lead over the pack.
