5/13/25 Closing Prices:
BTC: $104,589.95 +10% (Tue-Tue)
ETH: $2,688.67 +50.4% (Tue-Tue)

Tariffs, tariffs tariffs. Put high tariffs in place, markets go down. Lower tariffs (or back off them) markets go up. Seems easy and simple, right? Didn’t get the inside track text? Sorry.
The U.S. and China called a 90 day truce and rolled tariffs back. Huge rally. All is good, right? Well, that 90 day “warranty” will expire unless a whole new trade agreement is negotiated. No new China trade agreement, down we go. Can’t time any possible breakthrough or failure.
So inflation came in a bit cool but 10 year rates ticked up. Hmmm. If I don’t have an answer I just won’t comment.
Don’t look now but BITCOIN is about to take out the all time highs ($109K or so). When it does it’s gonna run. $135K-$145K. Bullish and ready.
ETH. Staying neutral. Like BTC better. Too many coins competing for attention with ETH.
GOLD. OMG. Up….Down….all around. I’m staying bullish just in case things go “wrong.”
S&P 500. I can see BITCOIN and maybe GOLD going up, I can’t justify equities. Short to neutral.
Big thought; long BTC, short S&P 500……been working since 2016.
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
