š§ Market Overview
š¦ TradFi & Macro:
ā½ļø The S&P 500 is down -3.6% YTD, despite a modest weekly gain that broke a 4-week losing streak. The USD strengthened slightly, providing support to USD-denominated assets. Yields declined across the board, partially influenced by the Fedās message that tariffs are unlikely to have a lasting inflationary impact.
ā½ļø From last weekās FOMC meeting, the current dot plot still signals at least 2rate cuts in 2025, with market-implied probabilities rising from ~60% to nearly 90%. Systematic strategies have reduced technical selling pressure (and may need to catch up if indices rise another 100bps).
ā½ļøAccording to Goldman Sachs, market exposure remains below the 1-year average but near historical midpoints. Forward flows are expected to be neutral to slightly positive, assuming stable prices and volatility.
ā½ļø Notably, yesterdayās minor bounceāparticularly in growth stocksāwas driven primarily by retail investors, while institutional money remained on the sidelines. Many institutional traders remain cautious due to elevated uncertainty surrounding Trumpās political agenda. This caution is reflected in the gold chart, which signals growing demand for safe havens...
Itās becoming increasingly likely that tariffs will, in hindsight, appear as a minor disruption on the charts. However, markets are also pricing in other risks tied to Trumpās unpredictable and aggressive policies, such as:
> A potential drift of the U.S. toward autocracy or a surveillance state
> Attempts by a future Trump administration to annex sovereign regions like Greenland or Canada
> A withdrawal from transatlantic alliances
> Or a major financial crisis, should foreign investors (who currently hold ~33% of U.S. Treasuries, predominantly from Europe and Japan) lose confidence in the US as a reliable partner and reduce purchases of government bonds.
The latter scenario is often overlooked by "America First" advocates but decoupling from global partners cannot happen overnightāit takes time. If that time isnāt granted, liquidity tends to seek more stable and predictable environments, which is already evident in equity (https://t.co/ffAFCuWQxO) & could extend to bonds. Such a shift in Treasuries would have far more severe consequences...
The fear & uncertainty are not limited to foreign investors who have so far relied on and invested in the US ā domestic job market uncertainty within the U.S. is also at a high not seen since the 2008 financial crisis:
ā”ļø In essence, the key question is whether weāre heading toward a full-scale financial crisis / black swan event / recession, or simply witnessing a transformational market event that reallocates capital flows (e.g., more into EM & EU markets), but leaves global performance intact and maintains confidence in U.S. Treasuries.
Since weāve already seen a -10% decline in the S&P 500, the move can officially be classified as a correction. Looking at historical context:
š If one believes the correction is over and no recession follows, historical averages suggest a +12% return over the next 12 months.
š If a recession is expected, the average forward 12-month return is -2%.
š°Bitcoin & Crypto:
$BTC has reached a major resistance level, which explains the renewed bullish sentiment and talk of "altcoin shopping" on social media. This time, however, there appears to be a realistic chance of breaking through resistance and shifting from bearish to neutral territory, helped by improving TradFi sentiment and the largest $BTC ETF inflows in 5 weeks.
Altcoins, on the other hand, still look largely bearish. It remains difficult to justify aggressive long positions, though for the first time in months, a few setups are beginning to form. For those betting on a bottom, many altcoins can now be longed with tight invalidation levels just below the range lows set 2ā3 weeks ago. Overall, signs are increasing that weāre currently trading in the bottom range of this correction:
In the past 3 months, Iāve only made a few major purchases (https://t.co/1JyDtqto9v) which I tweeted in realtime/live about:
> $ETH @ $2,000
> $SOL @ $120
> $BTC @ 80K
Recently, Iāve started to reaccumulate some microcaps, but in small sizes and with a long-term horizon. While many altcoins are still in a bearish trend, bottom formation seems to be progressingāalso visible in lower-volume segments of the market.
If you already have significant exposure, the prudent approach is to wait patiently for a confirmed bullish trend. However, if your exposure is low or nonexistent, now may be a reasonable time to start scaling in carefully.
ā”ļø Forming a bottom doesnāt imply an immediate bounce to ATHs, but it signals that the RR is turning favorable for long positions again - after 3 months of being short.
@crypto_freeguy3 Thank you šš¼ and itās about time we started getting a bit of sense to normality. Still worth keeping precaution levels though for sure!

Was a busy weekend, 10 years from tying the knot and 15th birthday of the eldest offspring. Lots of yummy food involved, still full from it all.
Now to catch up with the markets and re-evaluate the game plan.
š¹Market update:
Ultimately, we got the edge-to-edge move on the daily TF for BTC. Because of the initial strength, I was hesitant to pull through and short, but then we completed the move rapidly and smashed through any remaining supports around 90-92.5k.
I am happy that we didn't stop in the middle of the cloud; now, we have a clearer picture.
Where are we at now?
Edge-to-edge to 84k has been completed. We reached RSI levels we last saw in the bear market of 2023.
Sentiment has completely reset on X, TG channels, and most sentiment indicators, which now show deep fearābillions of liquidations in the last week. Many alts were completely destroyed and down +90% from ATH.
Many thought we needed this reset after the meme and AI agent mania. So now we got it.
Still I hear many folks wondering what now? Is it over?
No. BTC retraced around 25% from ATH. This is business as usual for bull markets. What is different this time is that ALTS proportionally decoupled from BTC, and many retraced much deeper.
You can Blame this on altcoin dilution, the meme craze including various PNDs from celebs and the US president's family, or just the overall still low liquidity environment and QT.
All of this probably played a major role, but in my opinion, this could still be part of the usual cycle dynamics. BTC.D didn't top out yet, most likely, and historically, only after this happens, ALTS do really well.
What to watch out for now?
I am confident that BTC is finding a bottom around here. Next support would be around 77k and that would also fill the CME gap which is not out of the picture. Otherwise 73k is the previous range high.
If we close below 81-84k though, all remaining bullish structure would be gone though and it would make me significantly more bearish.
In previous runs, we had many retests of the cloud bottom and this is nothing new. Close below would change things.
Expecting some more consolidation in the cloud and hopefully in the next week a solid bounce with some strength.
On the macro side, we see some stealth QEing with the treasury planning to inject 700b into the markets (most likely if the TGA keeps decreasing).
So things could allign here aswell.
For BTC.D i would like to see a tap into the 67-70% Area and a toppish structure for alts to get some proper relief.
Even in the current horrible sentiment, you could see a bunch of ALTS show strength. Theses were the ones I was accumulating in this dip. Scaled orders are your friend. Don't got dip hunting if you are mostly allocated. Only if you have large percentages % it is time to allocate more generously imo.
As usual, these market updates take time, so please make sure to like and retweet to support my work.

Thatās great to read and also completely understandable considering the underlying work involved to add/onboard charity partners.
I donāt have a particular charity in mind as of this moment, but the charity topic itself would be charities focusing on helping children living in povertyā thereās a few Iāve heard about such as Barnardos, Little Lives UK and Rainbow Trust as a few examples.
Also thank you for the prompt response :)
