Market tip of the week
Latest market outlook
TLDR: Bitcoin is still above 80k. This is impressive considering the S&P500 crashed 11% last week. Is Bitcoin decoupling or lagging?
The below image may enter the history books if Bitcoin continues to diverge in its price action and fully decouple from traditional markets. That would be the first time ever Bitcoin went against consensus and proved itself as a real hedge to market risks.
Could this time really be different? We find out this Monday when traditional markets re-open.
Decoupling implies that Bitcoin can be similar to gold which has been breaking record after record. This will make it attractive whenever there is turbulence across markets, like nowadays. When everything crashes, you want to hold the asset that doesn’t.
Another reason why Bitcoin has a good shot at this is because the ETFs were approved last year and now investors have an easy time to rebalance their portfolios accordingly. They don’t have to go on chain, they can simply go to BlackRock’s ETF and buy as much BTC as they want.
The flip coin on the above is that Bitcoin remains a risk asset and is simply lagging behind. However, gold’s price action seems to suggest Bitcoin can also become an exception as investors search for save heavens. History is in the making and we’re living it right now.
Having said that, let’s look at how you should protect your wealth right now and make money! The market has changed so the usual tricks no longer work today.
How to protect your wealth and make money!
It’s critical to spot when the market structure is changing. I’ve already covered that in my last guide which focused on altcoins.
The difference today is that Trump’s latest tariffs imposed on about 90 countries could lead to a massive shift in traditional markets with the odds of a global recession at over 60% according to JP Morgan.
Bitcoin and crypto never experienced a recession before!
This would be the first time. I can tell you right off the bat that altcoins are risk assets that are sold first thing in such a market. The question is how will Bitcoin react? So far we’re good on that front.
The bigger question is how you should protect your wealth and make money in such a market. Time to share some juicy alpha on that next with three coins I have my eyes on.
