VIX GOING BACK UPAfter two false routes (the two white lines), we know for sure that VIX is to go up at some point to make up for the gap it made this week.
The only thing is we thought today's opening would be a higher gap compensating the precedent gap, but it kept getting lower and lower.
Now that we're approaching a low KL, there might be a new opportunity for a long entry, stay advised and always put a tight SL on this.
Fundamental Analysis
Whale Alert! Transactions Dynamics, 2025 Bull-Market, Patience &Before the US Presidential elections, all the whale transactions within the Cryptocurrency market had bearish connotations. I was seeing large amounts of Crypto, mainly Bitcoin and Ether, being transferred across exchanges. It is said that when large amounts of Crypto is transferred, it is in order to sell and thus have bearish connotations. This dynamic was on for a while.
After the elections, things changed. First, Tether Treasury minted 1Billion and then it did it again, today. Large amounts of USDT and USDC started to move across whale accounts and exchanges, this tend to be seen as bullish and has bullish connotations. Even now large amounts of stable coins is entering the exchanges and large amounts of Crypto (BTC, ETH and others) is leaving exchanges, the dynamics changed.
But, compared to past market cycles, the bearish transactions are also present in-between the bullish ones and we see more and more ancient (satoshi-era) Bitcoin wallets waking up.
So we are seeing a mix of bearish and bullish transactions being executed by the whales.
The general sense I am getting from these transactions is that something big is about to develop and it ain't a new ATH. A new All-Time High has been hit already on Bitcoin, let's see what we get next.
The war has been cancelled and this is awesome, but it seems that a major market flush has not been cancelled, let's consider the TOTAL chart next.
First, super high volume for the bulls 6-November. Then a third strong lower high in a row. The volume is super high but lower than 5-August and lower than 6-March. (Bearish.)
TOTAL Cryptocurrency continues to point down. The action we are seeing across Bitcoin is extraordinary and is not reflecting on the rest of the market, it seems it will soon end.
I was considering a different scenario, what if the Altcoins are just behind and will soon breakout? As some are doing and already did; but, I continue to look at hundreds of charts and they are pointing lower, the bounce (pull-back) is over and next, down we go!
Imagine/think/feel/listen, if we are about to experience the biggest bull-market ever in 2025, when will the correction take place?
1) Will the market rally straight up for 3 more months and end in March 2025?
2) Or will the market correct to set the stage to grow for more than 12 months straight?
I am going with #2.
Bull-market year tends to be bull-market year; growth, growth, growth. For sustained growth to be possible, it tends to start out of a market low. After three months of growth, a correction is due regardless of the short-term, mid-term or long-term, the market moves in waves.
We are due for a correction, and we will be 100% bullish at the next support focused on the long-term.
Now, there are different pairs and different charts; some are trading low already and these can be bought. Those trading high and at resistance, should be approached with caution because people are really smart.
Only beginners would buy at the top, and the majority of the players approaching the market now have some experience and this will do what is right to win in the long-term.
The beginners buying at the top, these are the ones that will have to go through the first lesson, they will have to wait just like we had to wait when we started trading back in those days.
We noticed the market because of the new All-Time High. We buy in expecting forever growth (March 2024, November 2021, December 2017, 2014), but instead of growth, the market enters a major correction and we learn the first and most basic lesson, you can never buy at the top.
Patience is key. The market is not going away.
If we are bullish for the whole of 2025, there is plenty of time to buy and trade.
This is not financial advice.
Your support is appreciated.

Namaste.

Tea Sector: Goodricke Group at 6 year high# Tea Sector undergoing change as most stocks are either near all time high or are hitting all time highs.
# Goodricke Group 74% owned by Camellia PLC is trading at 6 year high.
# Silently the tea sector has outperformed the markets in last couple of months by giving double digit returns.
# With Tea production significantly down this year 2024 than 2023 and prices being up 25%, the sector might be turning up after 20 years.
# HUL, Tata consumer all announcing price hike in their Q2 concall, Tea inflation is about to happen on a structural basis it seems.
# Highly underowned sector which has been under pressure for more than 10 years.
# Not many stocks to play barring Goodricke as Mcleod russel is facing bankruptcy trouble, Jayshree tea has sugar and chemicals business along with Tea while harrison Malayalam has half the business as rubber. So this company appears the only pure play large scale tea company in India.
# Its not a buy or sell recommendation just a thought about the developments happening in Tea sector.

Spring is ComingThe last months in crypto markets have been firmly in the shadow of the looming US presidential elections. Whatever one's political stance, it was hard to argue that a Donald Trump victory would not be immensely positive for the crypto industry. The ongoing legal fights between US regulators such as the SEC and the crypto industry and the Biden administration's open hostility to the industry were a constant backdrop of the past years. In sharp contract, Republican candidate Trump had embraced the industry in early 2024. His appearance at a large Bitcoin conference in Nashville, his announcement to fire SEC chairman Gary Gensler on day 1 of a Trump administration and also his promise to build a national US Bitcoin reserve have been music to the ears of many a crypto trader.
No wonder that as soon as Trump started to take the lead on election night, Bitcoin rallied sharply. A new all-time-high of $75,000 per one Bitcoin was reached nearly effortlessly. Bitcoin has been trading above $76,000 for most of the post-election days. Across the industry, the drop in tension is almost palpable. No longer will a bad faith regulator pursue legitimate companies such as Coinbase, Uniswap or Consensys at will. No longer will Senate block common-sense crypto regulatory frameworks. The possibilities now seem almost limitless.
Coins of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) projects have seen some of the largest rallies since election days. Not only will these projects benefit from regulatory clarity, but their tokens might also start to receive genuine utility such as revenue shares. The fundraising environment for projects should become more open. Maybe more onchain projects will open up to American users. It is common practice for projects to geo-block American users for fear of the long arms of US law enforcement. It is nearly poetic justice that mainstream pollsters predicting a tight election were outperformed by Polymarket, a crypto-based prediction market that continuously showed Trump well ahead of his Democrat opponent Kamala Harris.
What will the next months hold? US presidential elections tend to be bullish for crypto markets. After Obama’s 2012 victory, Bitcoin rose nearly 2,400% within a year. In 2016, following Trump’s success, Bitcoin soared 960% over the following 12 months. One year after Biden’s 2020 win, Bitcoin rose another 360%. Of course, Bitcoin's large market cap means that much more new capital must enter to move the price substantially. Yet, the optimism in the industry right now makes everything seem possible. Sure, disappointment could always come next year, but for now, Spring has arrived early. Let's enjoy the party while it lasts.
What’s Next for DRIFT After 500% Volume Surge on Upbit?From Airdrop to Airborne | DRIFT Token Soars Like a Rocket !
The governance token DRIFT from Solana based decentralized exchange Drift Protocol is currently gaining attention after being listed on an exchange. On November 8, the South Korean exchange Upbit announced that DRIFT would be listed at 18:00 KST, with trading pairs in Bitcoin , USDT, and the Korean Won also Bianance will add DRIFTUSDT Perpetual Contract as well
This development triggered a 500% increase in trading volume for DRIFT which is insane, accompanied by an 90% price rise. Now trading at $0.91, this strong surge mirrors past trends observed with other tokens listed on Upbit.
In May 2024, the Drift Foundation launched DRIFT, its new governance token, through an airdrop of 120 million tokens 12% of the initial 1 billion DRIFT supply plus a bonus of 20 million tokens was included in the distribution, exceeding the original planned supply.
Drift Protocol’s co founder, Cindy Leow, explained that the bonus aimed to prevent network congestion and premature sales, enhancing the user experience and rewarding loyal traders.
Drift Protocol supports perpetual futures trading on the Solana Network, and DRIFT allows holders to propose and vote on governance improvements by staking.
The daily chart shows the Bollinger Bands widening, indicating increased volatility around DRIFT. However, the token’s price has reached the upper BB band, signaling potential overbought conditions, as reflected in the Relative Strength Index
The RSI currently stands at 78, which, being above 70, suggests an overbought asset. This indicates that DRIFT's price could undergo a short term correction, potentially dropping to $0.70. However, if buying pressure persists and profit-taking remains low, the altcoin may continue climbing, possibly surpassing $1

$ARKK caught a #Whale in $55C 1/17/2024 (Profit Target @ $69)5,000 Open Interest on this contract until this morning when we found a whale/institution buying up probably 10k 55C contracts for Jan 17...
This is a HIGH RISK HIGH REWARD PLAY given the holdings in AMEX:ARKK , but something tells me it can get to MONKEY ie $69 , and some whale or some bank also believes the juice could be worth the squeeze on this former high flyer... Past All Time Highs at $158 ... $53 now = Buy Low?
