Stocks and crypto can continue to have brutal increases.
Why?
Because the FED will have to lower rates one way or another… and possibly launch a new QE.
Trump has tried everything and has not been able to stop the rise of bonds.
Let us remember that the level of debt in the U.S. is unsustainable, and this year they have a huge amount of maturities (if interest rates keep rising, the system won't hold).
Sooner or later, the FED will be forced to intervene: lower rates and activate bond buybacks (QE) to stop it.
Since December, when the map is tinged with yellow indicating a high number of open contracts, the market has shown areas of overheating where it has corrected.
Currently, we are still far from that level, suggesting that the market could continue to rise until yellow predominates.
Since 2023, every time the Bid and Ask Ratio (an indicator that measures buying vs. selling pressure) has given a bullish signal in moments of extreme fear, we have not only seen a bottom, but it has also followed with a bullish rally.
14 days ago, this confluence was activated again for the first time since September 2024.
It has fallen more than 50% and I believe it is oversold.
All of this has been caused by the decrease in sales in Europe and the controversy surrounding Elon Musk, but there are very strong catalysts for this year:
-New Model Y (March 2025) which has 200,000 pre-orders just in China.
-Robotaxi Service (June 2025)
Fundamentally, Tesla continues to lead the automotive market in sales:
In terms of financial data, I highlight that the company has a lot of cash and very little debt.
The risks are that sales in Europe do not recover due to tariff issues, economic risks in the USA, and that the Model Y does not meet expectations.
I think that from the current level we could bounce back in the coming weeks/months to approximately 350$ . This would mean a rebound of more than 50%.
His priority for years has been to reduce inflation to 2%. However, if he ends QT and begins to stimulate the markets with rate cuts or liquidity injections, that goal will fade away, but not only would he avoid a recession, we would likely enter a pretty strong rally.
On the other hand, if he remains firm in his strategy, a "soft landing" seems increasingly unlikely, especially with Trump pushing hard with his aggressive policy. If the economy goes into recession during his first year in office, he will not hesitate to blame the Biden administration.
The real dilemma is that if the Fed ignores inflation and adopts a premature expansionary policy, relief will be temporary: a "bread for today and hunger for tomorrow," as inflation would spike again, further complicating the long-term economic outlook. The Fed has insisted that it will be patient and wait for inflation to decrease sustainably before cutting rates, but market and government pressure could force its hand sooner than expected.
Powell faces a tough choice: maintain the tightening and risk an economic crisis or yield to political pressure and risk a new inflationary wave.
I know that $ETH is the disappointment of this cycle.
I am also aware that I have been wrong about the asset, because the crypto market is no longer what it was and this cycle is nothing like the previous ones. Neither by rotations nor by anything.
Still, it makes no sense to be bearish now.
In the past, we needed three of the biggest black swans to break these zones. And the minimum we made wasn't even organic, but a consequence of the liquidation of 3AC positions.
Investing is not about always being right, but making decisions where the potential reward outweighs the risk.
Can it correct another 40%? Yes, but it's complicated without other black swans. The bears seem exhausted, the market is clean of panic-sellers...
Surpassing what we have already experienced would seem difficult. This in a context of greater acceptance, with ETFs, etc.
This potential loss compared to the upside it can have is nothing. Even if you are a much more conservative investor and seek less ambitious goals.
IMO if you can buy/average ETH here and have patience, the chances of winning are extremely high.
