Well, it’s here. June. Summer. Markets slowing down. Pools open. Beaches crowded. Sharks hungry. All the classic seasonal indicators are flashing bright green.

Meanwhile, equity markets have decided to reinvent themselves as a carnival shell game. Three cups, one prize, and a dealer who definitely had too much caffeine.

Shuffle once — NASDAQ is the “up prize.” Shuffle again — S&P 500? Wrong. Shuffle again — Dow? Also wrong. Shuffle again — your sanity? Gone.

At this point the only winning move is to walk away and cannonball into something chlorinated.

Let me call it what it is: stupid. There. I said it.

Correlations? None.

  • S&P: up, down, sideways, interpretive dance.
  • Dow: down, up, up, down.
  • Inflation hotter than expected? Markets shrug.
  • Rates rise? Markets yawn.
  • Oil tight? Oil loose? Oil confused? Up, down, all around — the hokey‑pokey of commodities.

When in doubt, wait it out. Friday brings employment numbers (first Friday of the month, cue the ritual). Will it move markets? NOOOOO. Next week brings the SpaceX IPO. Will that move markets? MAYBEEEEE. At least it’s interesting.

Where does all this leave us? The beach. Obviously.

Translation: I’m staying neutral on Gold, S&P 500, ETH, and BTC. If I want risk, chaos, and the thrill of not knowing what I’m doing, I’ve got vodka in the freezer. The good stuff.

Now, Bitcoin. WTF. If “everyone around the globe is a buyer,” who exactly is selling? With that logic, if I were short, I’d be praying for buyers to show up like they’re the last helicopter out of Saigon.

Maybe — just maybe — Bitcoin is quietly losing some shine to stablecoins. If so, it becomes a store of value. A good one. But more Dollar General than Saks.

I’ve been a Bitcoin bull since 2016. A long time. A loyal time. But right now? Neutral. Breaks my heart, but here we are.

Let’s hit the pool or the beach and reconvene next week for Elon’s IPO.

S&P 500…..Neutral
GOLD…..Neutral
BITCOIN…..Neutral
ETH…..Neutral
