Bitcoin easily crossed the $85,000 price point and is likely to charge higher (if someone can at least take away US President Donald Trump’s smartphone this week). Markets rallied on Monday after the White House announced over the weekend that laptops, smartphones and chips would not be subject to tariffs. The dollar continues to trade […]
If we look at crypto prices after the most irregular stock market week of the last decade, we notice that Bitcoin has remained fairly stable while Ethereum incurred a loss of some 10%. That is striking. Furthermore, Ethereum could never get close to its 2021 ATH in recent months, while Bitcoin did. Where did it […]
After a stock market week reminiscent of 2008 and that Lehman brothers crash, we ended with a difference of barely 1% for Bitcoin compared to last week on Saturday morning, with a new record for gold and with a very low value for the dollar (versus the Euro). So what will happen next? The wildest […]
A ‘sucker’s rally’ is a short-term stock market recovery after days of declines. We saw it take place on Wednesday evening in the US and on Thursday during the day in Europe. Bitcoin rose to $81,000 and took the rest of the crypto market with it. That ‘sucker’s rally’ seems to be over already. Fortunately, […]
Spring 2025 will be remembered as the year of the ‘Trump Tariffs’, it seems. Republican TV commentators on Fox News may say they don’t care about the stock market going down, but the truth is probably very different. After European stock markets fell again yesterday, the US president ‘suddenly’ announced a 90-day pause on his […]
Deepfake photos and fake news that can move crypto markets in seconds is nothing new, but if that also starts to happen to global stock exchanges, then something is seriously off. In 2023, fake news was spread on social media that had a serious impact on the price of Bitcoin and the stock exchanges. Now, […]
After Black Monday in 1987, the Asian financial meltdown in 1997, the Dotcom crisis in 2001, the Lehman brothers crisis in 2007, the European housing crisis in 2013 and the Covid-19 crisis in 2020, we now have a new stock market crisis on our hands. The stock market (and crypto market) crash of the past […]
Billionaire Bill Ackman says it is quite possible that US President Donald Trump will announce a pause in his tariff policy on Monday in order to make a deal with various other (mostly Western) countries. According to ‘Mad Money’ host Jim Cramer, a ‘Black Monday’ crash like the one in 1987 is also possible. This […]
If you open a business newspaper this weekend, the front page will probably feature a graph showing that bloody-red stock market or a nervous stock trader on Wall Street. During the stock market carnage of 2007-2008, we called that ‘cue nervous trader’. And all that while Bitcoin’s loss over the past seven days was … […]
According to the best Bitcoin short-term forecaster Arthur Hayes, we have nothing to worry about. He thinks Trump’s tariff war will in the end be good news for Bitcoin (and gold), as the dollar weakens and the Federal Reserve turns on the money printer again. Meanwhile, stock markets are looking bloody red. “Investors remain in […]
