Is the Bull Market Over?

Is the Bull Market Over?

After a year of incredible gains in the crypto markets, we’re seeing fear make its way back into the market.

Here’s what’s happening:

This week, Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell scaled back expectations for rate cuts in 2025, and the looming threat of a government shutdown added to the uncertainty. The result? Equities and cryptos pulled back sharply. Bitcoin ($BTC) is down 5.6%, Ethereum ($ETH) 6.9%, and Solana ($SOL) 7.5%.

So, is the bull market over?

No. This is a healthy pullback, not the end of the trend. Crypto markets are inherently volatile, and that volatility often shakes out weak hands. What we’re witnessing is leverage unwinding — a necessary process to build the base for the next leg higher.

In my experience, these moments of fear create the best opportunities. Instead of panicking, I encourage my copiers to:

1️⃣ Understand the trend: The macro setup remains bullish, with adoption and institutional interest driving growth.

2️⃣ Manage risk: Use uniform position sizing to avoid overexposure to any single asset. My portfolio is diversified in multiple cryptocurrencies but also stocks.

3️⃣ Take advantage of dips: Pullbacks like these are opportunities to strengthen your portfolio at favorable prices.

Remember, in crypto’s early melt-up phase, pullbacks are both violent and temporary. Each dip this year has led to higher highs, and I expect this trend to continue into 2025, which is shaping up to be historic for crypto.

Stay calm. Stay focused.
