đ´ The Capital B Big Week. What To Expect?
PLUS all the AI news & updates you need.

GM, so it begins.
Weâre stepping into whatâs easily the most jam-packed, high-stakes week weâve had in a whileâthe true, capital B Big Week. Everyone expects madness as the most schizophrenic of presidents keeps adding to the fire. Will the tariffs be as bad as everyone thinks? I have no idea.
Besides the so called amazing âLiberation Dayâ and tariff rollout on Wednesday, expect volatility around April 4 unemployment and April 10 inflation data.
Thereâs more to this whole mess, though. Looking at Japan, their stock market fell around -4% already in preparation for Trumpâs tariff show. Are we also supposed to be afraid of the carry trade blowing up again? Well, at least last time, it was around the bottom.
Letâs look at the bright side. If BTC doesnât decisively fall through $76k and with higher timeframe closures, this whole mess might still be salvageable.
Moreover, credit markets start to show cracks after a while. This one is a biggie for the Fed and might push them to action if things start to blow up.
Also, the bearish sentiment is hitting extremes. In early March, the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) survey showed that over 60% of investors were bearish, a figure that has only happened five other times since the survey began in 1987.
The last time we saw sentiment go this bad was July 2022. This was exactly around the bottom and half a year before the real uptrend started on crypto.
Also, Bitfinex whales, which are a notoriously precise indicator, are positioned vastly long Bitcoin.

EDWIN/SOL Raydium 1D

Edwin is a relatively new, open source DeFAI framework. Price just reclaimed the high timeframe support level (red line). Market cap is still relatively low at $6m and it looks like it wants to grind higher from here. The team is doxxed and making their way round the conference circuit, so it looks like theyâre in it for the long haul - something that makes them stand out as the AI x crypto space has been going through a bit of a downturn lately.
Come by the Lucky Luke Discord channel for comments, to roast my picks or to pump your own bags. All banter is welcome any time!

Smart money on Solana seems to be positioning out of memecoins, and into utility. We spoke about Helium (HNT) and other DePIN picks in recent newsletter.

Grass Sion Upgrade
AI x DePIN network Grass just underwent a major upgrade. The chart looks a little better than most other plays in the space, although the downtrend is still active. Itâs one to watch. The protocol, which centers around redistributing unused Wi-Fi bandwidth, saw explosive growthâ15x more users in 2024âand this upgrade is pitched as an opportunity for yet more growth.
Moby AI - Data-driven AI Agent
Everybody is fed up with reply-guy agents on X, spamming up the timeline, but Moby AI is still ticking along, sharing actionable, data-driven alpha that is refreshingly useful. The chart is pretty beat up, as are many AI plays right now. When the AI x crypto price action turns around, as it inevitably will, this one to check up on. In the meantime, I have it on notification,s as itâs dropping some genuinely good alpha.
Omen: AI-driven Polymarket Trading
Omen is an agentic hedge fund staffed by a swarm of bots; all focused on a different prediction market niche. Built on Spectralâs Lux Framework, agents scan world events 24/7 and manage bets directly on the Polymarket platform. The launch date is not yet specified. Follow their first bot, Polly, on X and sign up to the waitlist for early access.

ETH/BTC is at levels previously seen only when zero dApps were deployed. Meanwhile, Vitalik is meowing at robots and studying their asses. I donât know what to think anymore.

Bitcoin and Ethereum are closing Q1 with the WORST returns in 7 years. Not many expected this during the first few weeks of 2025, but here we are.
This is all a reminder to always expect the worst, even though it looks like the best is right around the corner. Now, letâs hope this works inversely as well.
stay safe homies,
