#Gold in the late 70s. #Japan in the 80s. Asia in the 90s. The Internet in 2000. Housing in 2006. China in 2008. #Biotech in 2015. #ARKK #Bitcoin and now the Magnificent 7.
Every cycle has a story that feels different. Revolutionary. Structural. This time is smarter. This time is permanent.
Price goes vertical. Narratives get louder. Risk management gets quieter.
Then gravity shows up.
The takeaway is not that innovation is fake. It is that parabolic moves rarely sustain without resets. Excess always gets wrung out.
Bubbles are not about bad assets. They are about stretched expectations and crowded positioning.
If you trade long enough, you stop asking “Is this different?”
#Silver $XAG price tripled within 3.5 months from September 2025 to January 2026 from $40 to $121.
Next silver price tripling is going to happen within lesser timeframe as bull run is entering a steeper cycle. I expect silver to reach my $240 - 260 target by May 2026.
Why waste so much energy shilling how amazing $ICP is, when the project has already made you 20x poorer… while you could’ve just hodl $BTC and be 20x richer?
No need to explain on X every single day what #ICP even is and why it’s down -99.6% 📉😭
Everyone jumps into this trap thinking they’ll make more money and in the end they’re poorer AND have to burn insane energy every day explaining why the ICP coin is down -99.5%, because ‘some dev did something’ or whatever…🫠
Today is the 5-year anniversary of buying $ETH at $1,850.
Exactly 5 years later: $1,990.
+7.6%. Total. Over 5 years.
Let me put that in perspective: $1,000 invested in ETH Feb 17, 2021 = $1,076 today $1,000 in S&P500 = $1,850 today $1,000 in a savings account = $1,250 today $1,000 under your mattress = $780 (inflation)
The ‘internet money that replaces banks’ gave you LESS return than the banks it was supposed to replace.
#GOLD $XAU $20,000 CALLS SURGE DESPITE RECORD SELLOFF
Deep out-of-the-money bullish bets on gold are building even after a historic correction.
After COMEX gold futures briefly topped $5,600 an ounce in late January before suffering their largest one-day drop in decades, traders began accumulating December $15,000/$20,000 call spreads. The position has since grown to roughly 11,000 contracts, even with prices consolidating near $5,000.
Aakash Doshi of State Street Investment Management said the size of the trade is striking given its distance from current prices, likening it to a “cheap lottery ticket.” Gold has doubled since early 2024, fueled by speculative flows, geopolitical tensions, concerns about the Federal Reserve’s independence, and diversification away from currencies and sovereign bonds.
For the spread to expire in the money, prices would need to nearly triple by December. The structure limits upside but reduces upfront cost, allowing traders to exit on a sharp rally or hold to expiry if gold surpasses $15,000.
While spot prices remain far below those levels, the trades have lifted implied volatility for far-upside calls. Despite a recent easing in call skew, realized volatility remains elevated, leaving room for large price swings after January’s 11% plunge and October’s sharp correction to $4,000.
I’m still waiting for someone to explain how treasury companies have accumulated over 1 million $BTC in the past 18 months… and price is somehow still sitting at $67K.
$70 price target for $XRP We are repeating the 2017 bullrun with a longer timeframe. The wave 2 has completed and wave 3 will take us to $13 within the next 3 months.
