Here we are in the last week of the month (May). One more month and 2025 will be half over. Crazy. There certainly can be no discussion that the first half of the year has been extrodinary and interesting. Both those are understatements. The one word to define it all? TARIFFS.
So the “remake” of America is under way. No one said it would be easy. Same as when they do repairs on the interstate freeways. Expect delays and frustration. But it will be smooth when it all gets done.
Waiting for Fed interest rate decisions, employment numbers and economic numbers is so passe’ and meaningless. Its all about the TARIFFS. Ukraine/Russia war? Nope, TARIFFS.
It seems simple. TARIFFS increased – markets go down. TARIFFS reduced – markets go up. Interest rates react the same way. Just try and figure out Trump’s mind. Every hour.
So what to do? Other than make summer plans. I’m a big fan of swimming pools and/or beaches. But if you have to “play” the financial markets…………
GOLD. OMG. Talk about volatility. $100 moves, both up and down, are now fairly common. With the political environment, geo-political situations and economic uncertainty, it makes sense to be long some GOLD. Bullish, not crazy bullish, but the upside looks decent. $4,500??
ETH. It’s just not the same old ETH that went with BITCOIN. It still does, but not as much. I’m just staying neutral.
S&P 500. I know, I know. Equities are defying conventional wisdom. But I’m a conventional guy (to an extent). I recognize upside, BUT I see downside. Being neutral lets me sleep at night. I like sleep. Neutral.
Ah, now. BITCOIN. Hanging around all time highs. Hitting new all time highs (again) and HUGE new buyers are sprouting up. Gotta be bullish. A new upside move is under way. Announced today that Trump’s media entity is following Michael Saylor’s plan by planning to sell stock and buy BITCOIN. Like a couple billion dollars worth. Others to follow. Bullish, bullish bullish. $135K-$145K??? For now.
I HAVE NOTICED ALL THE BITCOIN NAY SAYERS, SO POSITIVE BTC IS GOING TO ZERO, NEVER GO SHORT. HMMMMM! ALL HAT, NO CATTLE.
2025 TARGETS:
- BITCOIN 2025……..$135K-$145K
- ETH 2025…………?
- GOLD 2025……….$4,500
- S&P 500 2025……..DOWN (4500?)
Current trading positions:
- BITCOIN….LONG
- ETH….NONE
- GOLD….LONG
- 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.
