Market Watch: Time to Pamp it.

There's a bunch of crazy energy out in the world recently...

The CDC just removed all their nonsense COVID-19 guidance rules. Funny how everyone was like, "You gotta listen to the CDC they are professional experts they know what they are talking about," but then when they relax protocol everyone freaks out and thinks we still needs lockdowns and shit. Both my girlfriend and my roommate are freaking out over it, basically overexaggerating they're going to end up dead (both vaccinated) because the CDC magically doesn't know what it's doing but they totally did before. The psychological effects of our response to COVID-19 are nothing but astounding (on both sides of the spectrum).

But how does this relate to the markets?

I don't know... there are just so many things out there that seem to be signaling reversals. Supply chains are getting logged with products and we very well may flip from strong inflation to strong deflation (not better but still a flip). Think about it. Think about how screwed people who manage logistics have been due to COVID and sanctions against Russia.

The Just-In-Time business model of never stockpiling product has failed miserably during all of this, and now there's going to be a snapback fishtail event in the other direction that might be even worse than the disruptions in the first place. Of course that's only bad if you work at one of these companies (and wages and the job market in general). The rest of us are going to be privy to the most epic Black Friday the world has ever seen come November.

CPI data

Finance bros are reading hard into the fact that the year-over-year CPI was like 8% while the month-over-month CPI was around 0%. This is another potential signal that things are going to flip. If the FED starts easing because the data shows they no longer need to raise rates, once again we see that Bitcoin has the chance to make a crazy run up. The dollar could lose value (institutional hands dumping it), but the purchasing power of it can still go up because all the supply chains are logged and need to unload their goods. Of course food might still be expensive. The difference between essential and non-essential products is huge at this point.

Gas

The price of gas always goes down in the winter. It will be the lowest in January and February when everyone is fully broke and tapped out from Christmas and the New Year. I'm guessing the price of gas is going to drop like 25% or more. Again, the price of essential products going down means more money to spend on other things. Keep stacking those sats.

Even my Twitter feed.

Yesterday I was just spooling through my feed like I sometimes do (not sure why... fuck Twitter), and man, wow, the posts were just nuts. There's just some crazy energy out in the world right now. I can feel it. My girlfriend said the same thing, called it full-moon energy, but damn it's so much more than that. There's a major shift on the horizon.

Bitcoin is knocking on $25k for the forth time since the crash. Two of those occurred during the last few days. We seem to be spring loaded to move up considering we just started a bullish 2-week cycle. Market has a way of crashing a little right when I write these things, but at this point I think the lowest it goes is $23k or maybe $22k at the worst. With that in mind... is it really worth it to wait for a potential 10% discount when the doubling curve resistance is like $40k? I think not. I think I'm gonna have to buy me some Bigcorns here pretty soon before we spike up over $25k and I get a wicked case of the FOMOs.

My cycle chart has been comically incorrect since we broke out to $40k from $10k in 2020. September isn't gonna be a bad month. The crash came in June. All the moves have been delayed by that ninety degree three month cycle. If the FED begins easing in September, we very well may get a bull run that appears to last 6 months. Of course that's in retrospect because obviously no one will say we were in a bull market in June when we crashed to $18k until the bull market comes and we trace it back to that local bottom. Remember everyone talking about $10k BTC? Comical. Happens every damn time. Bears would make so much money if they just stuck to the plan.


If all goes according to plan, we could make it to $50k by the end of the year, and that's not even a bull market, that's just a return to the doubling curve (which most people think is the boring price when we are traveling on top of it). Funny how that works.

A real bull market takes us x2 to x3 the curve (often x2.5).

In order to have a real bull market that justifies taking real gains off the table? That would require a price of Bitcoin of around $90k-$150k by the end of year. Obviously those are insane numbers considering the situation we find ourselves in, but it's still the best metric I've got.

Even the fear & greed index is reversing even though we've already been to this $24k level multiple times. The numbers are in: people feel comfortable buying in at this level now that the market has stabilized a bit.

Conclusion

Can you feel it?
The air is charged.
A reversal is coming across the board.
Send it.

Sort:  

I'm guessing the price of gas is going to drop like 25% or more.

A very likely scenario for gasoline.

But natural gas might be a different story. Its price might move in the opposite direction, particularly if Russia restricts the flow of natgas to Europe for the winter heating season.

Good point

Yep..this is a no pass up opportunity for Putin to really put the squeeze on European Governments and see if, when their own people are literally freezing in their homes, maybe that will break their resolve to support Ukraine...

I don't think we've seen the worst of it when it comes to inflation and rising prices. There is still a long way to go before things calm down for good

Thus the price of crypto should also rise because inflation? Right?

not sure people will be willing to spend their money on crypto with the economy down the shitter but we'll see I guess

You don't see the problem with the logic being employed here?

If inflation is a problem, USD is being devalued.
If USD is being devalued, then anything paired to USD appears to go up in value.

You're operating from the angle that crypto can only go up if people are pumping USD into it.

What happens when people stop selling their crypto for USD at the current price because USD has been devalued? Every market has as least two sides. You're only looking at one of them.

Also, since when has retail controlled the price of Bitcoin?
What is this? 2017?

in an uncertain economy it's more likely to sell your crypto because you need cash ( for a multitude of reasons ) than invest in it. That's how I see it. Again we shall see what happens :)

It should :)

Ha ha I liked the meme 😂

Only really have this month to super stack. There's a lot happening and big things across the board for crypto starting September. Going to get wild here real soon!

It all feels fake though, like we are just getting some relief until the big rug pull, lol.

Trying to stay level headed these days so that's why I am putting some focus back into finding the good things in life and sharing it. Trading has been difficult because as yes there has been a rise up, it seems more like just ranging, so we'll see, just taking it one day at a time, lol.

These times are really stressful, seems like half of the world went broke, market shouldnt bounce now because I got rekted and haven't even managed too find my feet

I totally agree with you, dollar is now a derminant in my economy inflation and deflation rate, cooking gas is expensive during Nov/Dec period but down to January the price begins to fall. From #800 to #270. I am talking from experience since I operated on a Gas plant last year and even retail stores. People come with 12.5kg to fill just 1-6 kg often in January. Market cap of cryptocurrency so changes too.
Thanks for your post

btc hitting $50k by the end year will be so interesting, not far from possible.

people feel comfortable buying in at this level now that the market has stabilized a bit.

Fear and greed is still the master why people won't buy when prices are down but just at the moment fear of loosing but there's a sign of stabilization a rush to buy sets in.
90k - 150k sounds impossible by the end of the year but could it could come as a thief at night only then we would know but one corner of the mind could be saying it could be less . What ever it's they're all possible outcomes. I love your style.

I agree the cryptoverse seems charged and ready for a big move up. I am stacking and hoping for a big move to really start this next quarter on a positive note! One Dollar Leo Anyone!

I think the world is so crazy right now, anything can happen..

Funny I didn't know about the relaxed Covid Controls, nor did I know people were protesting.

People should justy quietly mask up or not mask up, it's now personal choice...
