Wolf wrote that nobody can predict with complete certainty how the markets will develop. Bitcoin bounced off the 50-week simple moving average, which he interpreted as a clear bullish signal. At the same time, the political power dynamics in Washington changed after Trump's defeat in the midterms; as a result, the market dynamics could adjust in the coming weeks. He explained that he had bought in recent weeks, but not out of the belief that prices would rise in the short term. Rather, he wanted to be positioned for a potential stronger breakout. Given the political, economic, and monetary uncertainty, one does not need to invest everything at once; a full entry could, however, be considered by those who planned deliberately for the long term. Wolf pointed to opportunities that, in his assessment, had existed every year: in the bear market of 2019, during the COVID crash of 2020, in the summer crash of 2021, in the bear market of 2022, during the sideways phase between 20,000 and 30,000 in 2023, during the yen carry trade crash of 2024, during the tariff crash of 2025, and in the bear market of 2026. He advised being positioned in the market with a portion of the money, but during uncertain phases neither to enter fully nor to use leverage. The positioning should be chosen such that short-term fluctuations do not disturb one's peace, he wrote. #Krypto #Investieren #Marktanalyse (translated)
