NO SIGNS OF PANIC SELLING.....YET. INVESTOR COMPLACENCY HAS NOT BEEN FULLY TESTED.....YET. NOTE: BEAR MARKETS DON'T END WHEN YOU THINK THEY SHOULD. THEY END WHEN THE PANIC SAYS THEY END.

Lighten up on ALL positions. It may be a losing proposition, but cash is king/queen. Participate in market moves BUT with smaller positions. Volatility (yes, it's still lurking) demands reduced risk.

PANIC? WHEN MARKETS START DOWN, THE FIRST PEOPLE TO PANIC (AND SELL) ARE SMART. THE SECOND GROUP TO PANIC AND SELL COME OUT AHEAD. THE LAST TO PANIC? THAT'S WHEN YOU BUY.

Prepare and get ready for significant volatility. The downside is going to be major. Since BITCOIN has never gone through an interest rate spike and rampant inflation, it is hard to see how BTC and ETH will perform.

Don't panic BUT get concerned. When it rains, it rains on all. I have moved both BTC and ETH to neutral. Holding current positions, but not adding or initiating new buys until we see just how nasty this selling becomes.

The biggest "new" thing of the week is how many investors/traders believe that inflation, higher interest rates and geopolitical events don't matter. Yeah, right!

BITCOIN WEAKNESS? COULD THE CAUSE BE SHORT SELLING AGAINST BUYING THE GRAYSCALE BITCOIN TRUST? THE GBTC TRADES AT A 25%-30% DISCOUNT TO CASH BTC.

Let's be straight; there is nothing new. War? Yawn. Inflation? Yawn. Pandemic? Yawn. Oh, 30 year mortgage rates just topped 5%....first time since 2013. That's new. Markets are very VERY quiet.

IT'S THE END OF THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE YEAR. FULL SCALE "WINDOW DRESSING" IS ON. FUNDS MARKING PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE A HUGE REASON FOR THE EQUITY RALLY.

END OF THE FIRST QUARTER COMING UP. LOTS OF MONEY BEING PUT TO WORK AND PORTFOLIOS BEING "MARKED UP" (window dressing). WAR, INTEREST RATES AND INFLATION STILL MATTER. BE CAUTIOUS.
