Animal Spirits Check-In

By -

Since this (silly) three-day weekend has been foisted upon us, and we don’t get to trade again until Tuesday morning, I thought I’d do a crypto check-in, since that’s the only market going here on a Sunday morning which might give us some insight into the animal spirits, particularly with respect to geopolitical tensions.

As a person who is fairly heavily short assets, I am encouraged by Bitcoin’s rejection from its trendline. The beautiful head and shoulders top has been badly violated, almost to the point to which the pattern is moot, but my view is that crypto is still in a serious bear market.

Lincoln Shorts

By -

Preface to all six parts: During this President’s Day Weekend, I have taken the 90 items from my Bear Pen and broken them into six equal posts. In each instance, the first five charts are free to everyone, and the other ten are visible to paying members of Slope. I have zoomed in on what I believe is the most appropriate portion of the chart, and hopefully my drawn objects will make the logic behind having these as short-sale candidates self-explanatory. I am not short all of these, but I do have positions in 43 of them.
