Possible Rally Setups On Bitcoin & Solana

By -

In my post on 20th February I was looking at the big support levels on Bitcoin (BTCUSD), Solana (SOLUSD) and Ethereum (ETHUSD). I was leaning towards seeing a retracement / consolidation on Crypto in the first half of this year and then strong new highs towards the end of the year with possible bull market highs pencilled in for Nov/Dec 2025. So far the big levels on Solana and Ethereum have been tested and are holding, but the Bitcoin double top has not yet played out to the target at 69k to 70k and I’m still thinking that is likely.

In my post on 28th February I was putting the case that the bull market on Crypto isn’t over until the bull market on Bitcoin is over, and so far there is little indication of that, though that could change of course if there is a hard break below the 65k to 73.8k backtest zone.

Trump and Tariffs

By -

In my post on Wednesday 19th Feb I was looking at the very nice looking topping setups on SPX, QQQ and DIA and somewhat less nice topping setup on IWM, and in my post yesterday I reviewed those, which have now all broken down with the exception of the big double top pattern on DIA.

I don’t discuss politics much generally but given the news bomb action we have seen in recent weeks and the rapid changes we are seeing in the economic and political structure of the world around us this year, I want to talk briefly about Trump and the tariffs that he is currently very keen on imposing on many or all of those who trade with the US.

Strategic Oscars Reserve

By -

Hurray, huzzah, and cheers! A strategic crypto reserve! Of all the corrupt, hare-brained, idiotic ideas, this one takes the cake. What I find thrilling about it is that it is sending assets ROARING higher, which means I don’t have to wait even a few days before I can short the hell out of the market again. Thank You, Prezzy Trump! I am going to go in guns a-BLAZIN’ on Monday.
