The market has really crashed again, but let me clarify first—I've not been shouting recklessly these past couple of days, and I won't take responsibility for this drop. So who should take the blame for this plunge? Of course, it’s Trump. This old guy has been acting unpredictably lately, starting to pressure various European countries. Besides using tariffs as a big stick, Trump has even escalated to threats of force. Such behavior has been unseen for many years and is one of the key drivers behind the recent surge in gold prices.
Recently, the US stock market has also shown signs of capital pressure, but relatively speaking, the decline in the crypto market has been more significant. It’s important to note that during previous crypto crashes, the US stock market had already recovered its losses quickly. Capital always prefers to buy rising assets rather than falling ones. Undoubtedly, we are now in the “era” of precious metals like gold and silver. Expecting a big rally in the crypto space in the near term is objectively quite challenging.
In this recent volatile market, one of the suitable strategies is grid trading. I’ve mentioned this many times before. If anyone is interested in learning more about grid trading, I’m considering making a video that systematically explains the rules and some strategies of options trading. Feel free to leave a comment if you're interested, and I’ll see how many people have this demand.
As for the market, although this recent decline has wiped out the recent losses, the overall pattern remains volatile. Therefore, I don’t see it as a big problem. Additionally, I’ve mentioned before that the market is still in a phase of shakeout, so large fluctuations—especially short-term big bullish and bearish candles—are still expected. Be mentally prepared for that.
Thanks for following and liking.
