GM, sidelined?
Hardly anyone can be sure what the move is right now. Tomorrow, weβve got the Crypto Summit coming up, which most certainly will be underwhelming from a new information perspective. At the same time, everyone seems to think itβs a sell-the-news event.
All of this just adds to the broader uncertainty, underscored by this indexβwhich, by the way, hasnβt been this high since the COVID-19 recession. Plus, when the economic uncertainty index hits highs, itβs usually a good time to buy from a longer-term perspective. Questionsβ¦
On top of that, the SPY put volume spiked yesterday to the 3rd highest in history. The previous two spikes were bottoms for the S&P 500.
It certainly wouldnβt be surprising to see the bottom across risk markets sooner rather than later, whether that means a final dump into the $70k area forΒ BitcoinΒ or a pump above $95k from here.
Looking at altcoins and TOTAL3, it seems like weβre already in a value area for buyers. Iβm not saying you should go all in right at this moment, but we have to keep these things in mind. Hope is not lost yet.

Crypto taxes? Absolute pain.
Sifting through receipts, crunching numbers β it's a yearly ritual of suffering. Throw crypto into the mix, and itβs full-blown chaos.

BTC Weekly x M2 Global Liquidity

M2 Global liquidity is looking decent again - this is a weekly chart view, but weβve been uptrending since 18 January (see this daily chart). Since last year, weβve seen roughly a 10-11 week lag from when liquidity started to trend up, with BTC following suit. That would put the timing for a Bitcoin breakout around late to the end of March.
Iβd love to see that M2 yellow line break up through the rising wedge, as it did pre-last cycleβs run in 2020. No Covid stimmies on the horizon, but Trump is likely going to run the printer, if he can, to fund his domestic manufacturing renaissance.

One thing to mention again and again is that almost everyone should stay off leverage during these market periods. Many ex-trench warriors have transitioned into perpetual, thinking theyβre playing the same game.
In fact, even the most experienced traders are getting absolutely rinsed right now. This is the highest-difficulty market in a long time; survival is number one.
When easy mode returns, we can all get it back in one trade. For now, preserve your chips.
stay safe homies,
