Weekly Market Wrap: Stocks & Crypto Resume Downtrend!

New: Join our 3-hour live workshop with Spencer to learn the basics of trading and make your first live trade!

After a tight consolidation the past 2 weeks, the stock and crypto markets finally broke down, and resumed the downtrend.

Hence, we have large short positions on stocks, and I only have a small position in crypto, after selling off most of my holdings.

The current strategy now is to stay in cash or stay short, until the crash is over, then start buying cautiously once there are reasonable signs of a market reversal.

Riding the big market trends means being able to actively rotate between different asset classes to maximise returns and minimise drawdowns.

For our weekly market wrap, we go through some of the trade calls and analysis from last week, which gives us valuable insights for the week ahead.

We cover 3 main markets with a total of 200+ counters, so we will never run out of trading opportunities:

• Forex, CFDs, commodities, bonds
• US stocks, ETFs, global stock indices
• Cryptocurrencies, crypto indices

By covering a broad range of markets, we can focus our attention (and capital) on whichever market currently gives the best returns.

Portfolio Highlights

Portfolio overview
? Bulk of holdings are cash and safe assets in yield-farming, because most markets are bearish now

? Started to buy some bonds since it has already dropped 35% from ATHs.

? Holding some crypto and commodities as possible inflation hedge, although crypto is more like a risk asset now.

? Largely short on equities, because the downtrend has resumed. Will start accumulating a positive position once the decline stops.

ETHUSD Crossing 1672.10
Break major support level
Likely to see another huge wave down in the MT/LT

 

Product: Cryptocurrency
Name: Ethereum
Ticker: ETHUSD
Exchange: N/A

Analysis: I thought there would be some rebound at this major support level, but there has been too much bearish news in the crypto market recently, and prices just broke a new 1-year low.

This does not bode well for crypto as prices could start another major leg down.

EP: Current price ($1672 based on above trigger)
SL: $1936
TP: $1437

 

TP for short positions
