Weekly Market Wrap: Stocks & Crypto Resume Downtrend!

Join our Telegram channel for more market analysis & trading tips: t.me/synapsetrading

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.

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.

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

Product: Cryptocurrency

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