Last week of February. Things are starting to become a bit (or more…..a lot more) bearish. The quiet period is becoming a little more “noisy.” The financial markets are now realizing that all the changes the new administration are proposing, or have implemented, have some negative effects. Oh well. Never to late to learn.
Toss out all the chatter about interest rates, inflation, sovereign wealth funds, reduced regulations and everything else. All sectors are now going on sale. Stocks are going to get cheaper. Gold is going to get cheaper. Bitcoin and ETH are already cheaper. The past couple of years have been an anomaly with indexes led by fewer and fewer stocks. Get ready and get sober.
Turning bearish? Yes I am. There is going to be a whole lot of s*** to deal with the next few months. A lot of it has not been reflected in the markets yet. Thought about yes. Realized no.
So, short and sweet? No, short and bitter.
Let’s talk GOLD. That’s it. Got close to $3,000 after a very nice, extraodinary rally. Time to say “thank you but bye bye.”
Lets talk BITCOIN. It looked like it was basing nicely at $95K-$97K and then…….broke lower. It may very well find a home in the lower $80K area but ’til then, I am going neutral. Still long term bullish but now that I’ve sobered up, I am seeing potential problems.
Talking ETH. Crypto weakness will take its toll here. I like it, but lower. How much lower? maybe $2K. Until then I’ll be neutral.
Now, let’s really talk S&P 500. Say good bye. The index is really vulnerable having only a few stocks guilty of getting the index to all time highs. When those few stocks get joined by others and…..well, down we go. Bearish. Get short. Get out. When the index goes down you may NOT want to be sober.
OMG. JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING. WHAT IF ALL THOSE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES WORKING FROM HOME (REMOTE) WERE THE ONES BUYING THE HOT STOCKS AND/OR CRYPTO? THAT BUYING WILL BE MISSING.
2025 TARGETS:
- BITCOIN 2025……..$175,000
- ETH 2025…………$4,500
- GOLD 2025……….?
- S&P 500 2025……..?
Current trading positions:
- LONG BITCOIN
- LONG ETH

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.
