Ethereum will likely begin its major rally around year-end. I’ll write in more detail later about the specific timing for buying the dip in the bull market and how the cycle may play out. For now, February 2028 might be a good time: US stocks could see a mid-cycle rebound (a small bull market on a larger scale, but things will still go south afterward, with rate-cut expectations returning), while gold regains its safe-haven status. Bitcoin, as both a risk asset and a safe-haven asset, will enjoy a double tailwind. Its volatility will far exceed that of US stocks, the Nasdaq, and gold, bringing a brief boom that could even turn into a bubble. Looking ahead, today’s prices are all low. There are three reasons for the current downturn: first, capital is flowing out; second, US stocks and gold are both falling, and we’re in the early stages of a crisis; third, the US-Iran war has yet to de-escalate. The conflict is shifting from high-intensity to medium-intensity, and will gradually move toward lower-intensity fighting and expectations of a ceasefire and an end to the war. As with the Russia-Ukraine war, its impact on crypto will gradually diminish, and some smart money is starting to flow into cryptocurrency.
I’m planning to write in more detail. Last time, my rules for buying the dip taught everyone the right principles, how to identify opportunities, and how to scale in.
This time, I plan to cover the timing and approximate price levels for buying the dip, specific characteristics of a bottom and market changes, as well as when to reduce positions and what signals to use for opening trades. This article is in preparation and can be used alongside the bull-market dip-buying rules. I’ll also cover signs of a market top in the article, so my followers can stay ahead of those so-called experts🧑🏫,
