| I don't pen this newsletter too often, but when I do, I like to point out the cases I see. Looking at the Bitcoin chart, I see all the signs of a possible trend change. All my life I have loved technical analysis as a less biased approach, and for me, it works. The few times it doesn't work is when major events or news cause alterations. But the world and the economies are coming back. Inflation is fading, and the main reason is low oil prices. The risk of unexpected "bad" major events is lower. The noise in the news is nothing but noise built on emotions rather than facts. It is in this expectation of more stability that the risk/reward for Bitcoin is getting more attractive. When looking at the chart, we can see how BTC just triggered buy signals from both short and long-term moving averages. The crypto is testing the top trend line, and the momentum is there to break it. If it does—which is more likely than unlikely—it will not automatically signal a rising trend; it will just signal a stronger confirmation that the sentiment is getting more positive. It can be short-lived, or it can be long-lived. My experience tells me that all the signs of a longer change are present. However, I have weathered storms before, and with -7°C outside the office window, the reminder is close that nothing is guaranteed. I am not telling anyone to buy Bitcoin. You should own your own decisions. But I am telling you to study the charts of Bitcoin, and perhaps you will reach the same conclusion as I have: that Bitcoin may be on a longer upturn. With good support below and little resistance before $110,000, the first target will be $110,000. Going for an all-time high @ approx $125,000 seems months away, but I will be very surprised if new highs are not reached in 2026. In my podcast, "Trading Tips With Jim", I have the $1,000 challenge that I started last year. My users can follow along, as I always tell which stocks I will buy in the podcast before buying them. At the high, it was above $5,500, but the year ended at $3,590—far from the $10,000 target I had set. But a lot changes over the year, and you have to adjust accordingly. It will be the same for Bitcoin; the target is there, but the end result may be different. Knowing that this may very well be the case, I never invest more than I am willing to lose, and I never gamble with money I don't have. I don't over-leverage. Whatever I put in can stay for as long as it needs. Doing so helps me sleep better, and when you sleep better, you make better decisions! With this, I wish each and every one of you the best trading/investment year ever. Dream big, dream hard, and we will try our best to give you some of the tools you need to achieve your goals! Yours truly, Jim & the Stockinvest.us team. |
