5 REASONS TO STAY IN THE CRYPTO MARKET

Updated
The end of September aka rektember historically the worst performing month of the year is in sight, and October is fast approaching.

1/ October aka ‘Uptober’ or better to say "Moontober" is historically one of the best performing months of the year and in the past two bull run years October’s have all been green – third time’s a charm? FYI last year we pumped 29% and so many of us ordered Countach

2/ It ain’t just October – Q4 historically yields the highest returns of the year

Excited for Uptober? Just wait till we hit No Loss November baaaby!

3/ M2 projections vs. BTC looking bullish

4/ The bull market historically takes off at this point

See that white line? That’s the current cycle

snapshot

as you see The crypto market seems to be following historical bull market trends closely. We've experienced a stronger than usual rally ahead of the halving, largely driven by expectations around spot Bitcoin ETFs. However, the post-halving rally has been weaker, bringing the market back in line with typical patterns seen in previous cycles.

Potential for Growth: If past cycles are any indication, the market is expected to gain momentum from this point onward. Historically, after a weaker post-halving phase, a significant upward surge is needed to complete the cycle.

Cycle Length Considerations: There is evidence suggesting that each crypto cycle is lengthening in terms of duration. This trend may reflect increasing institutional involvement, as longer cycles often point to a more mature and stable market

5/ Rate cuts are here!
The Federal Reserve has cut interest rates by 50 basis points in their first rate cut since March 2020.This is now the most unexpected Fed decision since 2009.
And lowered rates allow more money to flow into markets over time.

and after btc pump we will have sweet alt party so buckle up and be ready for printing money

- The new quarter kickstarted with some volatility in risk assets due to the escalation of the Israeli-Iranian conflict. Given the timing (one-year anniversary since the outbreak of the Gaza war) and scale of Iran’s attack, market is expecting Israel’s retaliation to be more critical as they target key infrastructures such as Iran’s nuclear or oil facilities.

- Friday’s non-farm payrolls printed 254,000, smashing expectations at 150,000. US unemployment rate came in at 4.1% (est. 4.2%). The strong data reflected a robust labour market despite last month’s dismal print.

- A resilient labour market coupled with the possibility of additional rate cuts later this year have boosted risk assets, with BTC briefly reclaiming $62,000.

- Options market activity continue to grow as as we enter Q4 with demand for December calls still building up, highlighting market’s bullish view towards the end of the year.

- BTC down approximately 5% from last week's highs, we believe the recent positive macro data supports our view of the long-awaited "Uptober" trend.

Trade Idea
With Geopolitical risk being the biggest concern now till US elections, we favour locking in yields at the these spot levels to allow the dust to settle and position for a rally into the year end.
