Well, Well, Well! Another month (May) is about to end and June is coming up. That means the end of the 2nd quarter is just around the corner. I have no idea what that means. Just trying to fill up space since there is NOTHING GOING ON. Nope, NOTHING.
One would think that with the U.S teetering on the cusp of defaulting on its debt, inflation not going down, economic growth slowing, interest rates rising and the general mood “blah,” financial markets would be……doing something. But no.
Why is there such a malaise? Let’s blame it on the quants. Or, even AI. Its seems the computers and their programs are managing a balancing act. Ignoring(?) current bad news and anticipating(?) perceived coming good news (after the bad news subsides). Actual humans not allowed to participate.
So looking back over the past week (Tue-Tue), BITCOIN added just under 2%, ETH picked up almost (so close) 3%, GOLD did its thing and went nowhere and the S&P 500 (or, the S&P 1……Nvidia) picked up a little bit. Yawn.
What to do? Go to the pool or the beach. Computers (quants, AI) can’t. YOU can. Enjoy the summer. Or, hold/buy BITCOIN/ETH………hold (why?) GOLD…….and stay short the S&P 500. Patience.
REMEMBER………BAD NEWS IS BAD NEWS. INTEREST RATES ARE NOT GOING DOWN. INFLATION WILL REMAIN HIGH. A RECESSION IS COMING. FIGHT IT IF YOU WILL, BUT GRAVITY ALWAYS WINS.
REAL ESTATE IS NEXT. THE BUST IS ALREADY BUILT IN. IT’S THE NEXT “CRISIS.”
NEW TARGETS:
- BITCOIN 2023…….UP……new all time highs
- ETH 2023…………UP……..new all time highs
- GOLD 2023……….??????????
- S&P 500 2023……..DOWN…….DOWN……DOWN……...LOOKING AT 3,250
Current trading positions:
- SLIGHTLY LONG BITCOIN
- SLIGHTLY LONG ETH
- NEUTRAL GOLD
- SHORT S&P 500
We compare the price of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold & the S&P 500. We use the CME Bitcoin Indexes (BRR & BRTI) and the CME Ethereum Indexes (ETH_RR_USD) & (ETH_RTI_USD) for reference as well as the London Bullion Market afternoon price settlement on the digital assets & gold.
