Top Trading Ideas of 2025: AI, Bitcoin, Stock Picks and PoliticsIf you’re extremely online and watching the blog of every investment bank, financial institution and markets-focused media outlet, you’ve probably seen a few of those already — year-ahead previews are just too enticing to pass on. With this Idea, we’re aiming to lay out what our traders care about the most — the big trading and investment trends that will drive a huge chunk of the buying and selling. While only a forecast, this type of outlook could help you to better prepare your trades and set your gaze upon the assets and categories that will slosh around billions upon billions next year. So let’s do it. 🤖 AI on the Horizon A thematic priority and one of the top investment trends in 2025 will undoubtedly be Nvidia artificial intelligence. AI is touted as the game changer of the tech industry and all big tech players are racing to seize as big a market share as they can. To get a feel for what may be coming, let’s look at what happened this year. According to technology-focused analyst firm Omdia, Microsoft MSFT was the biggest buyer of Nvidia’s NVDA flagship AI chip Hopper. (One of these babies will run you about $30,000.) Estimates point that the tech giant bought 485,000 Hopper chips (~ $15 billion ). It’s understandable because Microsoft is OpenAI’s biggest investor with about $13 billion jammed into the ChatGPT parent. Next in line for the Hopper chip in 2024 is Meta META with 224,000 units. Other big spenders for the AI-enabling tech include Tesla TSLA , Amazon AMZN and Google GOOGL . Next year, that upside trend is expected to pick up the pace with Hopper’s successor Blackwell — a next-generation AI chip , which has seen insane demand , according to Nvidia’s main man Jensen Huang. With all that AI buzz, investors will be closely following Nvidia’s every step for signs of whether the chip juggernaut could carry on the miraculous growth. ₿ Bitcoin is the New Orange What’s the new year without some orange-colored cryptocurrency? Bitcoin BTCUSD is now a $2 trillion beast ready to tear down every permabear’s gloom-and-doom forecast. So what can you expect to see in 2025? With Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20, the cryptocurrency industry is poised for deregulation (think, crypto companies finally getting bank accounts). The President-elect has set out to assemble a team of A-list venture capitalists , entrepreneurs and, frankly, billionaires. And with the Congress largely made up of crypto bros, digital-asset companies hope regulators will wave away a whole string of suits against them — Coinbase, Kraken and Binance have been carrying a target on their backs for years. Stripping down weighty rules will help companies expand services and establish bigger footprints, potentially powering Bitcoin’s valuation. Other than having banks take deposits or lend to crypto companies, something else can propel Bitcoin. The US government may soon have its very own Bitcoin strategic reserve . The vehicle will aim to collect a total of 1 million Bitcoin over a five-year time horizon. The goal: keep stacking and never sell. 🎯 The Game of Whack-a-Mole Here’s why stocks won’t be skyrocketing in 2025: the Federal Reserve just said it’s nearly done with lowering interest rates. After Fed boss Jay Powell announced another trim to borrowing costs Wednesday, he struck a cautious note saying that the US central bank is now projecting two rate cuts, down from a previous forecast of four. In other words, stock picking is back on the menu. It’s easy to feel smart — even a genius — when your trade is in profit together with the broader market. But true craftsmanship is best seen amid churning waters when markets are volatile, tough and choppy. No doubt there will be winners even if equities are moving sideways or looking down. But it’s hard to imagine that US stocks could pull off a third straight 20%+ annual gain (the S&P 500 SPX was up more than 24% in 2023 and is up 24% on the year so far). Also, the broad-based index is at a record high . So is the 30-stock Dow Jones Industrial Average DJI and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite IXIC . Among the big factors that could contribute to a negative year for stocks are rate hikes, recession or stubborn inflation. All in all, stock pickers, this might just be your year! 🏛️ Power Plays and Market Sways President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda is pretty clear by now and he isn’t even officially sworn in. If it could be summed up in a sentence it would probably be “America, heck yeah.” Trump’s second four-year term is expected to usher in a new era of growth through an America-first approach, sweeping deregulation and tax cuts. All that mix of reflation policies threatens to flare up price pressures again. Add to that some hefty tariffs on US imports and you get a powerful concoction of “wait and see if this bursts in your face.” Inflation expectations have already crept up and the recent consumer price index readout for November does sound some alarm bells. If things are heating up, Trump’s moves may bring them to a boil — tariffs are inflationary and immigration control is inflationary. And so if the election win introduced animal spirits into the markets, the presidency starting next year will get a chance to make good on all the promises given by the President-elect (and expose some potential weaknesses). 📣 With that, we conclude the walk through what we think makes the most sense to grab headlines next year. What’s your take — do you think there are opportunities to be seized in 2025? Share your thoughts and let’s spin up a discussion!

Will NVDIA rise at the expense of APPLE?We have seen in the past few days the NVDIA Corporation (NVDA) to be holding its ground better than other tech giants that got more inflated during the recent run like Tesla. What we've discovered by running some regression tests among top 30 cap stocks, is a very interesting relationship between NVDIA and Apple Inc (AAPL). Though most people might think that the two have completely parallel paths on their growth, we found out that at times, their correlation has been negative. Our sample data starts 2 years ago from the October - November 2022 market bottom of the Inflation Crisis. As you can see, this is where the first divergence between the two stocks started, with NVDIA rising to spearhead the recovery to a new Bull Cycle, while Apple was lagging behind and falling. What followed was a period where naturally both stocks rose, which led to the first 'Bear' stage, what we call Phase 2 where both stocks showed a synchronized weakness (with Apple correcting more however). Then after a recovery for both to their highs, NVDIA formed a Bull Flag, which led to Phase 3 (similar to the late 2022 price action): Apple topped and started falling aggressively, while NVDIA started an impressive rally. Again a period of price increase for both stocks followed, which has led to a new Phase 2 (July -October 2024). In line with their 2-year pattern, Apple has been rising since the November U.S. elections, while NVDIA has formed a new Bull Flag. If the price action continues to replicate this model, then we may see a new Phase 3, where Apple starts to correct while NVDIA's Bull Flag leads to a strong rally. So do you think potential Apple capital outflows will turn into inflows for NVDIA? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Will Santa Bring Bitcoin? Tracking Crypto Trends Each DecemberAs the festive season draws near, Bitcoin traders often wonder: is December a gift-giving month for the OG crypto or one where Santa skips the BTC chimney altogether? Over the past decade, Bitcoin’s December performance has varied wildly — from record-setting rallies to stomach-churning corrections. But this year, the festive cheer in the crypto world is particularly jolly. Bitcoin BTCUSD has smashed through the $100,000 mark , Ethereum ETHUSD is dancing above $4,000 , and the markets are buzzing with speculation about lower interest rates from the Federal Reserve and crypto-friendly policies from Donald Trump’s White House. Before we spill what we know about this Christmas’s crypto miracles, let’s take a trip down memory lane, tracking Bitcoin's price moves for each December over the past 10 years. Bitcoin’s December Performance: A 10-Year Recap 2013: A Frosty End to the First Big Rally ❆ Start of December: ~$1,000 ❆ End of December: ~$750 (-25%) Bitcoin was coming off its first significant bull run, fueled by very early retail and media hype. The exuberance didn’t last as profit-taking and concerns over Mt. Gox’s solvency sent prices tumbling. 2014: A Crypto Winter Christmas ❆ Start of December: ~$375 ❆ End of December: ~$320 (-15%) 2014 was a tough year for Bitcoin. The infamous Mt. Gox hack earlier had crushed investor confidence, and the December sell-off reflected broader pessimism about crypto's future. 2015: A Subtle Santa Rally ❆ Start of December: ~$360 ❆ End of December: ~$430 (+19%) After a year of consolidation, Bitcoin ended 2015 on a positive note. December brought renewed optimism, with the first whispers of institutional interest starting to surface. 2016: The Calm Before the Storm ❆ Start of December: ~$740 ❆ End of December: ~$960 (+30%) This was the beginning of Bitcoin’s journey into mainstream consciousness. A steady rally through December set the stage for the parabolic run of 2017. 2017: Deck the Halls With All-Time Highs ❆ Start of December: ~$10,800 ❆ End of December: ~$14,000 (+30%) Bitcoin mania hit fever pitch as it reached its then-all-time high of nearly $20,000 mid-month. However, the rally fizzled by year-end, signaling the start of a brutal bear market. 2018: Coal in the Stocking ❆ Start of December: ~$4,000 ❆ End of December: ~$3,800 (-5%) The post-2017 bubble burst was in full swing. By December, Bitcoin was down nearly 80% from its peak, and the market was entrenched in a bear trend. 2019: A Neutral Noel ❆ Start of December: ~$7,500 ❆ End of December: ~$7,200 (-4%) This year saw modest losses in December as Bitcoin remained range-bound following a mid-year rally that fizzled out. 2020: A Festive Bull Run ❆ Start of December: ~$19,500 ❆ End of December: ~$29,000 (+48%) The COVID-19 pandemic had accelerated Bitcoin adoption as institutions like MicroStrategy and PayPal jumped in. December capped off a historic year with a near 50% rally. 2021: Bitcoin on the Naughty List ❆ Start of December: ~$57,000 ❆ End of December: ~$46,000 (-19%) Despite starting strong, December 2021 saw Bitcoin slide as macroeconomic fears around inflation and Fed tapering weighed on risk assets. 2022: The Crypto Winter Lingers ❆ Start of December: ~$17,000 ❆ End of December: ~$16,500 (-3%) The collapse of FTX in November left the crypto market reeling. With investor confidence shattered, Bitcoin struggled to recover, hovering near its bear-market lows. 2023: A Recovery Year ❆ Start of December: ~$40,000 ❆ End of December: ~$42,500 (+6%) With the market recovering from the harsh crypto winter of 2022, Bitcoin climbed steadily throughout the year, culminating in December's moderate gains. Bitcoin ended 2023 on a modestly bullish note, driven by renewed optimism around regulatory developments and institutional interest, especially around the Bitcoin exchange-traded funds that would launch in January 2024. Final Days of 2024: A December to Remember? Bitcoin’s 2024 trajectory has been nothing short of remarkable, with the OG cryptocurrency trading above $108,000 — a new all-time high. December’s price action will likely hinge on several key factors: 1️⃣ Federal Reserve Policy : Markets are pricing in a 25-basis-point interest rate cut at the Fed's final meeting of the year on December 18. This has already fueled risk-on sentiment, but a surprise decision to hold rates could spark a possible sell-off. 2️⃣ Institutional Demand : Big-shot investors have continued to pour into Bitcoin in 2024, with the genuine Bitcoin ETFs accumulating more than $100 billion in assets. 3️⃣ Market Sentiment : After breaking $100,000, Bitcoin’s psychological momentum is strong. Traders are eyeing $125,000 as the next target, though volatility could lead to sharp corrections. 4️⃣ Donald Trump : The sheer power concentrated in one man — President-elect has vowed to support the growth of the crypto industry through a Bitcoin strategic reserve, lower taxes, sweeping deregulation and higher tariffs on US imports. Bullishness is truly in the air heading into 2025. What’s Under the Tree for Crypto in 2025? Looking ahead, the outlook for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market remains bullish. The combination of institutional, business and consumer adoption, favorable regulatory developments, and a macroeconomic environment that continues to favor risk assets sets the stage for further growth. While $108,000 is impressive, many believe it’s just the beginning of Bitcoin’s next chapter. As we wrap up 2024, one thing is clear: the crypto market never takes a holiday (or any days off). Whether the Fed today delivers a rate cut or not, traders can expect plenty of action as we head into the new year. So, grab your hot cocoa, keep your TradingView app handy, and enjoy the ride. Happy holidays, and may your trades be merry and bright!

Tesla is overhyped and over-extendedHistory repeats itself. Tesla is getting overhyped without clear tangible reason. Robotaxis? Sure, maybe they will be launched next year, but how will the car charge itself? A bunch of logistics and legislation are not yet in place. The Cyber-Truck was a bit of a failure. At least two Chinese EV's are not only catching up, but overpassing it (Nio, BYD). The new Tesla refreshed models are in a way a step-back. Disclosure: I do own a 2022 Tesla Model 3 Performance, but am a bit disappointed with the latest model refresh. Instead of giving people what they want, HUD/screen for the driver, they took out the stalks, and the parking sensors... great decision, now the car instead of showing me exactly the distance to an object, it continuously beeps for non-existent ones. Anyway, returning to the Tesla stock, with a P/E ratio of over 100, no way this will stay at such a value for long. One of the reasons it got so high, I suspect is due to it being somewhat over-shorted already. Still, what goes up, must come down (eventually). I'm predicting a more realistic 250-280 within the next 6 months (June 2025), a similar repeat of March/Aug 2022 when Tesla performed by far at their best (yellow/blue paths superimposed over the current stock price).

JPMorgan: Not the Star of BethlehemThe Christmas season is known for three Wisemen following a light in the night sky to Bethlehem. But another, less jovial star may have settled above the House of Morgan. The first pattern on today’s chart of JPMorgan Chase is the candle on November 25. Prices jumped above $253 in the first five minutes of that Monday morning, but quickly reversed and closed at $250.29. Some traders may view that as a bearish shooting-star pattern. JPM proceed to close lower the next six sessions and was soon under $250. Its shares have continued downward, probing above their 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) while mostly closing below it. That could suggest a short-term downtrend has developed. Falling MACD may provide a similar signal. Finally, a large gap occurred on November 6 after Donald Trump was reelected President. Could JPM now look to fill some of that space? TradeStation has, for decades, advanced the trading industry, providing access to stocks, options and futures.

BBW: One of the Great Wealth Transfer BeneficiariesHey, all. Wanted to get a video made for the first time in a few weeks. I have a position in NYSE:BBW that has been doing well. In my opinion, this is a stock that is geared for further upside. Earnings have been coming in consistent and they have done a good job with their product offerings as I found out when visiting their website recently. I do think NYSE:BBW can continue the growth, especially as more Millenials and Gen-Z have kids. The Baby Boomer generation will want to spend money on their grandkids and that should drive up cute stuffed animal sales. At any rate, please do your own research and invest carefully and wisely! Hope you enjoy the video, and best of luck out there!

Although concerns about debt exist, the company's strong cash reserves mitigate these worries significantly. On the other hand, CrowdStrike (CRWD) has faced a recent setback with an outage that has shaken investor trust, leading to a decline in its stock price and rendering it a less favourable investment option for the foreseeable future. Moreover, the cybersecurity sector is set to grow significantly due to rising cyber threats, fast-paced technology changes, and stricter regulations. Investors are advised to conduct thorough research, define clear investment goals, and maintain a long-term outlook to take advantage of this growth while minimizing risks.

Reserve Rights Posts Surprise 200% Rally in 2 Days. What’s RSR?We’re in that period of the cycle where crypto is never dull. Amid all the hype of Bitcoin hitting $100,000 (spectacular in and of itself), a fairly small token is skyrocketing 200%, hitting a $1.2 billion market cap, and clawing its way into the Top 100 . The trigger? Donald Trump. The President-elect has tapped a very special figure to become boss of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The crypto world welcomes Paul Atkins, a former SEC commissioner and a crypto bro. He has quietly been advising that same token we're talking about — Reserve Rights RSRUSD . RSR in Plain English Reserve Rights RSRUSD is a volatile coin part of a two-token stablecoin project built on Ethereum. Its mission? To help create a stable, decentralized currency that can replace volatile fiat currencies, especially in economies plagued by hyperinflation. Think Venezuela or Zimbabwe — places where you have to drop a pile of cash to purchase a cup of coffee. The Reserve ecosystem uses two tokens: Reserve Dollar (RSV) - A stablecoin pegged to a basket of assets like fiat, commodities and other cryptos. This is your boring, stable bud. Reserve Right (RSR) - The volatile counterpart. RSR is used to maintain RSV’s peg and offers governance rights. It’s also the token that traders bet on, as seen by its recent moonshot. What makes Reserve Rights interesting to traders and investors is its vision of financial inclusion. It aims to give everyday people in struggling economies a reliable alternative to crumbling national currencies, without needing to trust a central bank. Lofty? Yes. Achievable? That’s where the intrigue lies. Enter Paul Atkins: Crypto’s Quiet Ally Paul Atkins isn’t a stranger to regulation. As a former SEC commissioner, he earned a reputation for being pro-business and wary of regulatory overreach. Since leaving the SEC in 2008, Atkins has been advising banks, trading firms, fintech companies, and — since 2017 — crypto projects and crypto companies, including Reserve Rights. If Atkins takes the SEC’s reins (there’s been some talk he’s a bit hesitant), it could mark a seismic shift in US crypto regulation. More like… deregulation. Atkins has long advocated for a more nuanced approach to digital assets, favoring innovation over stifling rules. This doesn’t really mean anything for Reserve Rights. It’s just a project Atkins happens to have worked on. No official comments have been made as to whether this crypto would get any special treatment by the SEC under Atkins. In fact, all crypto could get vaulted to smoother paths to compliance and wider adoption. One thing, however, could justify RSR’s explosive rally. Traders are likely imagining a world where the SEC supports projects like Reserve instead of slapping them with lawsuits (like Ripple’s XRP). It’s a potential regulatory dream scenario. Why the Market Reacted So Strongly But let’s get back to the updraft and the token's well-deserved place among crypto's Top Gainers : RSR’s 200% rally last week propelled the price from $0.009 to $0.026 in just a couple days. Tiny in price terms, but that’s because there are 53 billion tokens in circulation out of 100 billion max supply. Where you need to look is the market cap. And that’s grand — it shot up to $1.4 billion from less than $500 million. All that good stuff wasn’t because the token suddenly discovered cold fusion. Markets move on perception, and Atkins’ crypto-friendly stance is a big deal. Traders see him as the potential captain who might steer the SEC ship away from stormy anti-crypto waters and into the cool breeze of loose regulatory guardrails. The Catch: Real vs. Hyped Value Before you mortgage your house for RSR ( don’t do it ), a dose of skepticism is in order. While Paul Atkins is undeniably crypto-friendly, his potential appointment doesn’t guarantee a green light for Reserve Rights or any specific project. Regulatory changes take time, and the crypto market generally likes to run ahead of events. RSR’s fundamentals haven’t changed overnight. That makes the pump forward-looking, driven by headlines rather than anything concrete like adoption or utility metrics. But even without Atkins in the chair, Reserve Rights has carved out a niche for itself since its launch in 2019. What’s Your Move? RSR’s recent rally might be tempting, but as any tried-and-tested trader will tell you, hype-driven moves are a double-edged sword. If you believe in Reserve’s mission and the potential for a crypto-friendly SEC, consider it a long-term bet. If you’re just chasing the pump, tread carefully — crypto has a way of humbling the overconfident. So, what’s your move? Is RSR a hidden gem or just another token riding the wave of speculation? Let’s hear your thoughts — drop them in the comments below.

is BNB the next TRXTron has been a major overperformer with catching a niche in the growing stablecoin market. While BNB has been losing market share both in its chain and with its exchange.. BNB does still look strong. It does still share an ongoing fractal with TRX. It does look like relative to its weaker performance itll grow. I suspect TRX will pull BNB into a breakout of highs. Whether itll lead to gains as great as TRX Im not sure. Im not sure if BNB is the best risk reward but I do think BNB could follow TRX soon with not much relative to market risk.

Bitcoin Seizes $100,000. What's Your Prediction for Next Move?And there you have it — a comet in the night sky, Bitcoin BTCUSD finally shattered the landmark $100,000 figure . Prices of the original cryptocurrency are up 50% since Election Day on November 5 and traders have one man to thank. Do you think he doesn’t know it? “CONGRATULATIONS BITCOINERS!!! $100,000!!! YOU’RE WELCOME!!! Together, we will Make America Great Again!” Donald Trump erupted on his social-media platform, Truth Social. As crypto circles around the world celebrated the mind-blowing milestone (that’s a market cap of more than $2 trillion in a $3.5 trillion market ), the volatile crypto couldn’t get any rest. Bitcoin prices seesawed back under $100,000 early Friday with traders experiencing the token’s wild swings and notorious stomach-churning volatility. In wild seesaw motions, the OG crypto yesterday peaked at an all-time high of $103,700 a piece before sliding more than 6% to close the session at a 1.6% daily loss at $96,900 a pop. In other words, crypto traders still need that convincing close above six figures. Donald Trump might just have the answer. The President-elect is keeping busy by forming an A-team of crypto advocates to lead the efforts at the White House. Earlier this week, Trump selected former SEC commissioner Paul Atkins to replace current SEC Chair Gary Gensler. This is one of the key drivers to yesterday’s rally in the broad crypto markets . Because Atkins isn’t just a crypto-friendly former regulator. He’s been advising crypto companies since 2017 and he’s the co-chair of Token Alliance, a subsidiary of Digital Chamber, which was spun up to promote digital assets. Atkins has been consulting crypto companies on how to work with the Securities and Exchange Commission, avoid penalties and lawsuits. And now he might be taking the top job at America’s financial watchdog. It doesn’t end there. A new pick today promises even more growth for the crypto industry in the US. Trump has tapped venture investor and podcast host David Sacks to be the “White House AI & Crypto Czar.” In a post on his social media, Trump wrote that “David will focus on making America the clear global leader in both areas.” “He will safeguard Free Speech online, and steer us away from Big Tech bias and censorship.” Sacks was a major Trump supporter earlier this year. He invited Trump to join him and his podcast peers and fellow investors Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, and David Friedberg for a talk on his All-In podcast , which Trump has called the “top podcast in Tech.” With the stars seemingly aligning for the crypto industry heading into 2025, many digital asset proponents are now calling for $100,000 to be the bottom. A new, loftier goal is now in sight by end of year: $125,000. In 2025, the forecasters among us project Bitcoin prices of about $250,000 , or a 150% increase from current levels. 📡 What’s your forecast? Do you think we’ll see prices top $125,000 still this year? And $250,000 next year? Share your thoughts below!

No one telling you this about XRPThe recent analysis on XRP presents intriguing upward potential with a projected long-term target of $64 by 2032. The setup, based on the formation of a bullish pennant, highlights a robust continuation pattern. This structure combines a consolidation phase (triangle) and a preceding upward surge (pole), which, when measured, suggests significant bullish potential. The monthly chart, utilized for this projection, will be updated periodically to track development. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is nearing its previous all-time high (ATH) zone, indicative of strong upward momentum. Historically, such RSI behavior aligns with substantial rallies, reinforcing the probability of XRP exceeding its former ATH of $3.28. The current trajectory suggests XRP is poised for an extended bullish cycle, supported by technical confluence. Additionally, it is worth revisiting a critical observation from July 23, 2023, when XRP traded near $0.47. At that time, it was advised not to sell XRP at such low levels, as technical analysis strongly indicated long-term growth potential. The analysis from that period further validates the current bullish outlook, emphasizing the importance of strategic patience. Those who heeded this advice are now enjoying the remarkable progress in XRP's price action. Further updates will refine these projections in response to market developments.

Bitcoin - Ultimate bull trap, soon a big crash! (must see)Bitcoin really cannot continue in this parabolic uptrend. Why? Because if yes, it would hit around 600,000 USD by December 2025. Of course that's impossible, so the only option is to slow down. Bitcon still hasn't made any bigger correction in past weeks and is currently facing a very significant psychological resistance of 100,000 USD. I am really not buying because the Moon Boys are back and first we need to see a shakeout and a flash crash. 85k is a very reasonable support because it's the end of the massive FVG (fair value gap) on the daily candles. Also, it's the start of the first price action on the volume profile. This is where you want to buy. What we cannot miss is the symmetrical triangle on the 4H chart. This to me looks like a bull trap on retail traders because everyone would buy the breakout. So there is still a possibility of making a last push to sweep liquidity (stop losses). Write a comment with your altcoin, and I will make an analysis for you in response. Also, please hit boost and follow for more ideas. Trading is not hard if you have a good coach! This is not a trade setup, as there is no stop-loss or profit target. I share my trades privately. Thank you, and I wish you successful trades!

Nvidia: Next Leg Coming?Nvidia has been mostly quiet since the summer, but some traders may think another move to the upside is coming. The first pattern on today’s chart is the August high of $131.26. NVDA broke above this level in the first of October and then pulled back to test it in three different weeks. Has old resistance become new support? Second, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) recently converged with the 100-day SMA and is now pulling away. That may suggest its longer-term trend is getting bullish after a period of neutrality. (The activity also resembles patterns in late 2023 and early 2024 before the chip giant doubled.)
