Five months into Musk&#39;s Twitter acquisition, Tesla has shown no signs of losing its strategic vision.

The company also isn&#39;t letting competition hold it back. </p><h2>Flexing scale and pricing power </h2><p>While competition is heating up in the EV industry (leading Tesla to slash its car prices by around 20% globally), this is an opportunity for the automaker to lean into its natural advantages in scale and high margins to outcompete its rivals. So far, so good. First-quarter deliveries surged 36% year over year to 422,875 cars, which is ahead of expectations. And while some analysts expect the lower prices to hurt margins, this is a small price to pay to capture market share and possibly drive unprofitable rivals out of the industry. </p><p>Further, Tesla believes it can reduce production costs on its next-generation vehicles by half, which would help offset the price cuts over the long term and help the company maintain its profitability. </p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/73852f3db76edf7785523fab67365c08\" title=\"\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\"/></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>Tesla is already very profitable compared to its pure-play EV rivals.

This has ignited rumors of an impending bank bailout akin to the 2008 financial crisis.</p><p>Per a <i>Bloomberg</i> report, the billionaire has already had multiple meetings with the Biden Administration on the regional banking failures. According to anonymous sources familiar with the matter, the calls have focused on the possibility of Buffett investing in the regional banking sector. Buffett has also provided general guidance on how to handle the situation.</p><p>If you recall, this isn’t Buffett’s first rodeo. In fact, the <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> (NYSE: <b><u>BRK-A</u></b>, NYSE: <b><u>BKR-B</u></b>) founder has stepped in several times to assist the U.S. government with various banking concerns.</p><p>Buffett famously offered $5 billion to <b>Goldman Sachs</b> (NYSE: <b><u>GS</u></b>) in 2008 in order to stabilize the bank in the wake of the Lehman Brothers collapse. In 2011, he also floated <b>Bank of America</b> (NYSE: <b><u>BAC</u></b>) a $5 billion cash injection when the bank stumbled in the face of failing subprime mortgages. This proved to be a major money maker for Berkshire. As part of the deal, the company earned the right to purchase 700 million common shares of BofA, which — when they executed the deal in 2017 — netted the company a tidy $12 billion windfall.</p><p>Now, Biden is in the middle of a political quandary, tasked with navigating an increasingly uncertain banking situation while trying to avoid bailing out banks on the tax payer’s dime. With less than two years out from the next election, he’s also attempting to balance stubborn inflation and growing recession fears.</p><p>What do you need to know about the current banking situation?</p><h2>Banking Crisis Shows Shades of 2008 Amidst Indirect Bailouts</h2><p>Last week, U.S. regulators announced they would take surprisingly strong measures to protect businesses and individuals with financial exposure to the regional banking failures. Indeed, the Treasury is currently investigating the possibility of raising its insurance cap to cover deposits beyond the current $250,000 limit. That’s a move several bank coalitions have already voiced support for.</p><p>White House spokesman Michael Kikukawa said the following about the situation:</p><blockquote>“We will use the tools we have to support community banks […] Since our administration and the regulators took decisive action last weekend, we have seen deposits stabilize at regional banks throughout the country and, in some cases, outflows have modestly reversed.”</blockquote><p>Of course, raising the Federal Deposit Insurance (FDIC) insurance cap will likely face some dissent from Republicans. As such, the Treasury is exploring whether it has the emergency authority to raise the FDIC limit without Congressional approval. The House Freedom Caucus said on Monday:</p><blockquote>“Any universal guarantee on all bank deposits, whether implicit or explicit, enshrines a dangerous precedent that simply encourages future irresponsible behavior to be paid for by those not involved who followed the rules.”</blockquote><p>Last week, the Treasury Department, Federal Reserve and FDIC also announced they would insure all deposits at the now-defunct Silicon Valley Bank of <b>SVB Financial</b> (NASDAQ: <b><u>SIVB</u></b>) and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SBNYP\">Signature Bank</a> </b>(NASDAQ: <b><u>SBNY</u></b>). President Biden later pointed out that federal banking fees would likely pay for the move, taking the onus off tax payers.</p><p>Currently, several other regional banks are still under duress. These include <b>First Republic</b> (NYSE: <b>FRC</b>), <b>PacWest</b> (NASDAQ: <b>PACW</b>) and <b>Western Alliance</b> (NYSE: <b>WAL</b>). Tens of billions have been withdrawn from the mid-sized banks in recent weeks, with the likes of <b>JPMorgan</b> (NYSE: <b><u>JPM</u></b>) and other larger financial institutions stepping in to hoist up the banking system.</p><h2>Is This the Same as 2008?</h2><p>Despite the similarities, this isn’t 2008. Back then, banks were caught making risky bets in an unproven housing market. These bets ended up deteriorating their liquidity to the point of wider collapse.</p><p>Currently, the issue isn’t really that banks are failing, but rather that confidence in banks has slipped. Depositors have essentially manufactured a bank run. This has inadvertently led to a liquidity crisis, as is the nature of the fractional banking system.</p><p>Unlike 2008, most major banks are doing fine. Some are even enjoying a surge of deposits, attributable to depositors transferring their funds from regional banks to larger financial institutions.</p><p>“This is different from 2008,” said Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Tuesday, “2008 was a solvency crisis; rather what we’re seeing are contagious bank runs.”</p><p>That isn’t to say there’s no risk of greater financial ruin. Per a BofA monthly survey of fund managers, investor perception of market risk has reached levels last seen amid the Great Recession. Additionally, concerns over a “systemic credit event” skyrocketed last month.</p><p>Heading into the next rate hike decision Wednesday, the question remains whether the Fed will stay the course with its tightening agenda. Just weeks ago, analysts theorized that Fed Chair Jerome Powell may opt for a hefty 50 basis point hike. Now, in the face of the brewing banking crisis, most experts expect either a 25 basis point increase or no change at all. <b>Tesla</b> (NASDAQ: <b>TSLA</b>) CEO Elon Musk even believes the Fed should lower rates by 50 points.</p><p>“The Fed is facing a difficult task on Wednesday, but it is likely already past the point of no return – a soft landing now looks unlikely, with the airplane in a tailspin (lack of market confidence) and engines about to turn off (bank lending),” said JPMorgan analysts on Monday.</p></body></html>","source":"investorplace","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

This has ignited rumors of an impending bank bailout akin to the 2008 financial crisis.Per a Bloomberg report, the billionaire has already had multiple meetings with the Biden Administration on the regional banking failures. According to anonymous sources familiar with the matter, the calls have focused on the possibility of Buffett investing in the regional banking sector. Buffett has also provided general guidance on how to handle the situation.If you recall, this isn’t Buffett’s first rodeo. In fact, the Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A, NYSE: BKR-B) founder has stepped in several times to assist the U.S. government with various banking concerns.Buffett famously offered $5 billion to Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) in 2008 in order to stabilize the bank in the wake of the Lehman Brothers collapse. In 2011, he also floated Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) a $5 billion cash injection when the bank stumbled in the face of failing subprime mortgages. This proved to be a major money maker for Berkshire. As part of the deal, the company earned the right to purchase 700 million common shares of BofA, which — when they executed the deal in 2017 — netted the company a tidy $12 billion windfall.Now, Biden is in the middle of a political quandary, tasked with navigating an increasingly uncertain banking situation while trying to avoid bailing out banks on the tax payer’s dime. With less than two years out from the next election, he’s also attempting to balance stubborn inflation and growing recession fears.What do you need to know about the current banking situation?Banking Crisis Shows Shades of 2008 Amidst Indirect BailoutsLast week, U.S. regulators announced they would take surprisingly strong measures to protect businesses and individuals with financial exposure to the regional banking failures. Indeed, the Treasury is currently investigating the possibility of raising its insurance cap to cover deposits beyond the current $250,000 limit. That’s a move several bank coalitions have already voiced support for.White House spokesman Michael Kikukawa said the following about the situation:“We will use the tools we have to support community banks […] Since our administration and the regulators took decisive action last weekend, we have seen deposits stabilize at regional banks throughout the country and, in some cases, outflows have modestly reversed.”Of course, raising the Federal Deposit Insurance (FDIC) insurance cap will likely face some dissent from Republicans. As such, the Treasury is exploring whether it has the emergency authority to raise the FDIC limit without Congressional approval. The House Freedom Caucus said on Monday:“Any universal guarantee on all bank deposits, whether implicit or explicit, enshrines a dangerous precedent that simply encourages future irresponsible behavior to be paid for by those not involved who followed the rules.”Last week, the Treasury Department, Federal Reserve and FDIC also announced they would insure all deposits at the now-defunct Silicon Valley Bank of SVB Financial (NASDAQ: SIVB) and Signature Bank (NASDAQ: SBNY). President Biden later pointed out that federal banking fees would likely pay for the move, taking the onus off tax payers.Currently, several other regional banks are still under duress. These include First Republic (NYSE: FRC), PacWest (NASDAQ: PACW) and Western Alliance (NYSE: WAL). Tens of billions have been withdrawn from the mid-sized banks in recent weeks, with the likes of JPMorgan (NYSE: JPM) and other larger financial institutions stepping in to hoist up the banking system.Is This the Same as 2008?Despite the similarities, this isn’t 2008. Back then, banks were caught making risky bets in an unproven housing market. These bets ended up deteriorating their liquidity to the point of wider collapse.Currently, the issue isn’t really that banks are failing, but rather that confidence in banks has slipped. Depositors have essentially manufactured a bank run. This has inadvertently led to a liquidity crisis, as is the nature of the fractional banking system.Unlike 2008, most major banks are doing fine. Some are even enjoying a surge of deposits, attributable to depositors transferring their funds from regional banks to larger financial institutions.“This is different from 2008,” said Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Tuesday, “2008 was a solvency crisis; rather what we’re seeing are contagious bank runs.”That isn’t to say there’s no risk of greater financial ruin. Per a BofA monthly survey of fund managers, investor perception of market risk has reached levels last seen amid the Great Recession. Additionally, concerns over a “systemic credit event” skyrocketed last month.Heading into the next rate hike decision Wednesday, the question remains whether the Fed will stay the course with its tightening agenda. Just weeks ago, analysts theorized that Fed Chair Jerome Powell may opt for a hefty 50 basis point hike. Now, in the face of the brewing banking crisis, most experts expect either a 25 basis point increase or no change at all. Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk even believes the Fed should lower rates by 50 points.“The Fed is facing a difficult task on Wednesday, but it is likely already past the point of no return – a soft landing now looks unlikely, with the airplane in a tailspin (lack of market confidence) and engines about to turn off (bank lending),” said JPMorgan analysts on Monday.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":244,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9943840792,"gmtCreate":1679369799516,"gmtModify":1679370267032,"author":{"id":"4110596512684042","authorId":"4110596512684042","name":"PCTEO","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/12fd9611b5c3fca51f49f109082a3d6a","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4110596512684042","authorIdStr":"4110596512684042"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Stabilise the bank stabilised the economy&nbsp;","listText":"Stabilise the bank stabilised the economy&nbsp;","text":"Stabilise the bank stabilised the economy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9943840792","repostId":"2321695783","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":257,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9949443017,"gmtCreate":1678851242840,"gmtModify":1678854807955,"author":{"id":"4110596512684042","authorId":"4110596512684042","name":"PCTEO","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/12fd9611b5c3fca51f49f109082a3d6a","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4110596512684042","authorIdStr":"4110596512684042"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Agreed&nbsp;","listText":"Agreed&nbsp;","text":"Agreed","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9949443017","repostId":"2319775010","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2319775010","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1678849024,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2319775010?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-03-15 10:57","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Sea Limited Finally Out of Its Trouble?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2319775010","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Investors need courage and patience to ride out this storm.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Once a darling among investors, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SE\">Sea Limited </a> has fallen out of favor over the last 12 months.

In 2020, the US Federal Reserve lowered interest rates to 0 and provided over $2.3 trillionin loans to support the economy. This, combined with Covid-19 stimulus checks given directly to citizens, worked to funnel billions of excess liquidity into the crypto casino.BTC:USD - 2W (TradingView)With Bitcoin's unraveling and dip below $20k, much of the magic surrounding cryptocurrencies has diminished. We believe the current bear market is forcing investors to realize numerous hard truths, including:Bitcoin's unsustainable growth rate,Incoming regulations for Ethereum (ETH-USD) and DeFi,The crypto market's over-reliance on loose monetary policy and a bullish stock market.After a violent rally from June 18th to August 15th, Bitcoin's all-time chart has one of the most bearish patterns I've ever seen. To understand this, you must note that a backdrop offavorable financial conditionshas characterized Bitcoin's entire existence. This includes 13 years with a Federal Funds rate between 0% - 2%, promoting a consistently bullish market for stocks.Now, when faced with abearishstock market andhighrates, we expect Bitcoin's price will plummet.Bitcoin All-Time Price ChartThe chart below compares Bitcoin vs. the NASDAQ-100 index (NDX). Observably, an increasing stock market has always supported Bitcoin:BTC:USD - 2W (TradingView)Amidst such extensively beneficial market conditions, Bitcoin's price has swung bullishly between two massive hype cycles (firstly driven by retail from 2012 to 2017 and secondly by institutions from 2018 to 2021). These hype cycles are identified with the green and red boxes in the chart above.Bitcoin's hype cycles together form a decade-long 5-wave impulsive movement that peaks at $68k/BTC (identified with the orange lines).Therefore, the data shows that Bitcoin's growth rate has always been supported by a beneficial market that promoted increasing hype. This hype emerged as retail FOMO in 2017 and institutional FOMO in 2021. (Up next could be nation-state FOMO. We aren't kidding. If there is another \"cryptocurrency cycle,\" it could see governments FOMO into Bitcoin in efforts to mitigate inflation).As monetary conditions tighten and stocks collapse, we believe Bitcoin's previous growth trend is no longer sustainable. Consequently, we expect Bitcoin will decline to at least $13.7k (precisely 80% below its all-time high) by November.Going forward, further downside in Bitcoin (and all other cryptocurrencies) can be powered by worsening economic conditions, increasing regulatory pressure, and the shattering of many deeply held cryptocurrency beliefs.We expect new regulations will soon require Ethereum applications to collect user information.We're also exceedingly worried about the ongoingDOJ probe into Tether(USDT-USD); we suspect more crypto exchange insolvencies are on the way, and we expect global Monkeypox cases will worsen into 2023.Bitcoin TA Shows Another 60% DeclineTechnically speaking, Bitcoin has moved impressively bullish since bottoming at $17,637 on June 18th, 2022. However, indicators have since rapidly shiftedbearish,prompting us to believe the rally is over.

Although we expected the bull trend to last until mid-September, recent government action against Tornado Cash appears to have killed the hype:BTC:USD - 1H (TradingView)The chart below uses multi-timeframe trendlines to determine Bitcoin's speed, direction, and significant support levels. TrendSpider indicates Bitcoin is moving in an approximately 35-degree downtrend, projected to reach weekly support at $8k - $5k between October and November 2022. This projection is over 60% below Bitcoin's current price!BTC:USD - 1D (TrendSpider)Zooming out, we believe TrendSpider's weekly trendlines reflect Bitcoin's real logarithmic growth curves (as opposed to the fake curve often circulated). Accordingly, we expect Bitcoin to move like a \"bowling ball thrown out a window\" until reaching $10k psychological support or weekly trendline support between $8k - $5k.BTC:USD - 1W (TrendSpider)Hence, Bitcoin's technicals are all signaling bearish. To conclude, we're planning for three possibilities to trade Bitcoin's bottom:The bottom is in, and Bitcoin will now resume its long-term bull trend.Bitcoin will mirror previous cycles and bottom approximately 80% below its all-time high, located around $13.7k - $11k.Fear caused by new cryptocurrency regulations and worsening financial conditions will push Bitcoin below $10k. In this scenario, we expect BTC to find support at its weekly trendlines between $8k - $5k.BTC:USD - 2W (TradingView)Bitcoin's First True Bear MarketBy observing Bitcoin's lifetime of price action, we can see that Bitcoin's long-term bull trend has always been powered by hype (where investors allocate funds in anticipation of more investors entering crypto) as well as beneficial circumstances (including loose monetary policy, an increasing stock market, and lack of regulations). After over a decade of advantageous conditions, Bitcoin is now facingthe oppositeof each of these dynamics.In our view, Bitcoin's recent 75% downtrend from November 2021 to June 2022 represents 'phase 1' of a much larger bear market. In fact, we believe Bitcoin is currently entering its first-ever real bear market.As shown in the chart below, the last two Bitcoin 'bear markets' weren't actually bear markets. Instead, they were bull market corrections!BTC:USD - 2W (TradingView)At the time of writing, Bitcoin has yet to enter its true bear market territory. We believe Bitcoin's first bear market begins below $20k, upon which all of the most famous bull trend indicators will become invalid.While Bitcoin's stock-to-flowmodel and logarithmic growth curvesare already broken, we expect Bitcoin's Pi Cycle indicator (shown below) is the next to break:BTC:USD - 2W (TradingView)Incoming Black Swan EventsSo far, we've covered Bitcoin's bearish technicals and fundamentals. We also explained why we expect an impending crash will be Bitcoin'sworst ever. Going forward, we're anticipating the following 'Black Swan' events will power a violent downturn:1) Stock Market CollapseDespite the past 7-month downtrend, the NASDAQ-100 index is stillovervaluedrelative to its long-term base-level trendline:NDX:USD - 1W (TradingView)As shown above, the similarities between the Nasdaq's current structure to 2008 and 1999 are uncanny. If NDX is destined to crash like the dot-com bubble, this will decrease the index by another 64%.2) Cryptocurrency RegulationAs previously stated, the US government sanctioned the Ethereum mixer application 'Tornado Cash' on August 8th, 2022. As regulatory uncertainty has haunted cryptocurrencies for years, we believe the recent government action against Tornado Cash represents one ofmanyattacks soon to come.Furthermore, the Tornado Cash sanction proved that Ethereum is not censorship-resistant. This flies in the face of millions of ETH investors (including myself) who previously assumed Ethereum applications were immune to government censorship.Therefore, we expect increasing regulation and the relinquishment of previously held beliefs will drive the prices of Ethereum and its DeFi economy much lower.Laura Shin's 'Unchained' podcast episode with Dave Jevans, CEO of Cipher Trace, is the best source I've found to discover incoming cryptocurrency regulations.3) Tether CollapseThe Tether stablecoin represents another dynamic that has haunted the crypto market for years. In 2018, two university professors released a 60-page report detailing how Tether used market manipulation tactics to boost Bitcoin's price during the 2017 rally.Although the crypto market has ignored this controversy for years, the US Department of Justice has recently moved to re-open their investigation into Tether. As the crypto market's largest stablecoin (valued at $43 billion), it's reasonable to assume that a Tether bank fraud conviction would negatively affect cryptocurrency prices.4) Exchange Insolvencies\"Phase 1\" of Bitcoin's bear market (from $68k to $17k) saw numerous cryptocurrency lenders declare insolvency. During Phase 2 of the downtrend (which will bring Bitcoin below $20k), we believe more exchanges and lenders will declare insolvency/bankruptcy.Notably, in a move similar to Celsius and Voyager's pre-insolvency actions, Crypto.com (CRO-USD) has recently decreased the rewards paid to its credit card holders. Although this doesn'tproveanything, it's objectively not a good sign.5) MonkeypoxLastly, we believe the Monkeypox virus represents a significant 'black swan' event that markets aren't pricing in. As of August 18th, 2022, there are 38,735 confirmed global Monkeypox cases and 2,446 suspected cases:Cumulative Confirmed Monkeypox Cases (monkeypox.global.health)Although it's unlikely that Monkeypox will spread as quickly as Covid-19, it is worth noting that cumulative international Monkeypox cases are currently at the same number as Covid-19 during February 2020:Covid-19 Cumulative Confirmed Cases (Our World In Data)We anticipate Monkeypox will develop into a much larger issue as cases increase into 2023. Raising monkeypox cases could frighten many citizens, prompting them to seek vaccinations from a dwindling supply.Short TradesCurrently, we're margin short Bitcoin with an entry at $24.2k, and we're short Ethereum at $1902. We're also short Uniswap (UNI-USD) and Curve Finance (CRV-USD), as we expect incoming cryptocurrency regulations will seriously damage these protocols.RisksTrends in macroeconomics and central bank policy support our bearish outlook for Bitcoin.

So far, so good. First-quarter deliveries surged 36% year over year to 422,875 cars, which is ahead of expectations. And while some analysts expect the lower prices to hurt margins, this is a small price to pay to capture market share and possibly drive unprofitable rivals out of the industry. </p><p>Further, Tesla believes it can reduce production costs on its next-generation vehicles by half, which would help offset the price cuts over the long term and help the company maintain its profitability. </p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/73852f3db76edf7785523fab67365c08\" title=\"\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\"/></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>Tesla is already very profitable compared to its pure-play EV rivals.

After over a decade of advantageous conditions, Bitcoin is now facing<i>the opposite</i>of each of these dynamics.</p><p>In our view, Bitcoin&#39;s recent 75% downtrend from November 2021 to June 2022 represents &#39;phase 1&#39; of a much larger bear market.

Although this doesn&#39;t<i>prove</i>anything, it&#39;s objectively not a good sign.</p><p><b>5) Monkeypox</b></p><p>Lastly, we believe the Monkeypox virus represents a significant &#39;black swan&#39; event that markets aren&#39;t pricing in.

In 2020, the US Federal Reserve lowered interest rates to 0 and provided over $2.3 trillionin loans to support the economy. This, combined with Covid-19 stimulus checks given directly to citizens, worked to funnel billions of excess liquidity into the crypto casino.BTC:USD - 2W (TradingView)With Bitcoin's unraveling and dip below $20k, much of the magic surrounding cryptocurrencies has diminished. We believe the current bear market is forcing investors to realize numerous hard truths, including:Bitcoin's unsustainable growth rate,Incoming regulations for Ethereum (ETH-USD) and DeFi,The crypto market's over-reliance on loose monetary policy and a bullish stock market.After a violent rally from June 18th to August 15th, Bitcoin's all-time chart has one of the most bearish patterns I've ever seen. To understand this, you must note that a backdrop offavorable financial conditionshas characterized Bitcoin's entire existence. This includes 13 years with a Federal Funds rate between 0% - 2%, promoting a consistently bullish market for stocks.Now, when faced with abearishstock market andhighrates, we expect Bitcoin's price will plummet.Bitcoin All-Time Price ChartThe chart below compares Bitcoin vs. the NASDAQ-100 index (NDX). Observably, an increasing stock market has always supported Bitcoin:BTC:USD - 2W (TradingView)Amidst such extensively beneficial market conditions, Bitcoin's price has swung bullishly between two massive hype cycles (firstly driven by retail from 2012 to 2017 and secondly by institutions from 2018 to 2021). These hype cycles are identified with the green and red boxes in the chart above.Bitcoin's hype cycles together form a decade-long 5-wave impulsive movement that peaks at $68k/BTC (identified with the orange lines).Therefore, the data shows that Bitcoin's growth rate has always been supported by a beneficial market that promoted increasing hype. This hype emerged as retail FOMO in 2017 and institutional FOMO in 2021. (Up next could be nation-state FOMO. We aren't kidding. If there is another \"cryptocurrency cycle,\" it could see governments FOMO into Bitcoin in efforts to mitigate inflation).As monetary conditions tighten and stocks collapse, we believe Bitcoin's previous growth trend is no longer sustainable. Consequently, we expect Bitcoin will decline to at least $13.7k (precisely 80% below its all-time high) by November.Going forward, further downside in Bitcoin (and all other cryptocurrencies) can be powered by worsening economic conditions, increasing regulatory pressure, and the shattering of many deeply held cryptocurrency beliefs.We expect new regulations will soon require Ethereum applications to collect user information.We're also exceedingly worried about the ongoingDOJ probe into Tether(USDT-USD); we suspect more crypto exchange insolvencies are on the way, and we expect global Monkeypox cases will worsen into 2023.Bitcoin TA Shows Another 60% DeclineTechnically speaking, Bitcoin has moved impressively bullish since bottoming at $17,637 on June 18th, 2022. However, indicators have since rapidly shiftedbearish,prompting us to believe the rally is over. Currently, the most significant bearish indicators include:A 5-wave impulsive movement that ended with a blow-off top at $25k,the daily MACD negatively crossing 0,the daily/weekly trendlines remain untested.BTC:USD - 1D (TradingView)In our previous article, we identified Bitcoin was moving in a reflexive rally powered byless badeconomic conditions and positive investor sentiment. Although we expected the bull trend to last until mid-September, recent government action against Tornado Cash appears to have killed the hype:BTC:USD - 1H (TradingView)The chart below uses multi-timeframe trendlines to determine Bitcoin's speed, direction, and significant support levels. TrendSpider indicates Bitcoin is moving in an approximately 35-degree downtrend, projected to reach weekly support at $8k - $5k between October and November 2022. This projection is over 60% below Bitcoin's current price!BTC:USD - 1D (TrendSpider)Zooming out, we believe TrendSpider's weekly trendlines reflect Bitcoin's real logarithmic growth curves (as opposed to the fake curve often circulated). Accordingly, we expect Bitcoin to move like a \"bowling ball thrown out a window\" until reaching $10k psychological support or weekly trendline support between $8k - $5k.BTC:USD - 1W (TrendSpider)Hence, Bitcoin's technicals are all signaling bearish. To conclude, we're planning for three possibilities to trade Bitcoin's bottom:The bottom is in, and Bitcoin will now resume its long-term bull trend.Bitcoin will mirror previous cycles and bottom approximately 80% below its all-time high, located around $13.7k - $11k.Fear caused by new cryptocurrency regulations and worsening financial conditions will push Bitcoin below $10k. In this scenario, we expect BTC to find support at its weekly trendlines between $8k - $5k.BTC:USD - 2W (TradingView)Bitcoin's First True Bear MarketBy observing Bitcoin's lifetime of price action, we can see that Bitcoin's long-term bull trend has always been powered by hype (where investors allocate funds in anticipation of more investors entering crypto) as well as beneficial circumstances (including loose monetary policy, an increasing stock market, and lack of regulations). After over a decade of advantageous conditions, Bitcoin is now facingthe oppositeof each of these dynamics.In our view, Bitcoin's recent 75% downtrend from November 2021 to June 2022 represents 'phase 1' of a much larger bear market. In fact, we believe Bitcoin is currently entering its first-ever real bear market.As shown in the chart below, the last two Bitcoin 'bear markets' weren't actually bear markets. Instead, they were bull market corrections!BTC:USD - 2W (TradingView)At the time of writing, Bitcoin has yet to enter its true bear market territory. We believe Bitcoin's first bear market begins below $20k, upon which all of the most famous bull trend indicators will become invalid.While Bitcoin's stock-to-flowmodel and logarithmic growth curvesare already broken, we expect Bitcoin's Pi Cycle indicator (shown below) is the next to break:BTC:USD - 2W (TradingView)Incoming Black Swan EventsSo far, we've covered Bitcoin's bearish technicals and fundamentals. We also explained why we expect an impending crash will be Bitcoin'sworst ever. Going forward, we're anticipating the following 'Black Swan' events will power a violent downturn:1) Stock Market CollapseDespite the past 7-month downtrend, the NASDAQ-100 index is stillovervaluedrelative to its long-term base-level trendline:NDX:USD - 1W (TradingView)As shown above, the similarities between the Nasdaq's current structure to 2008 and 1999 are uncanny. If NDX is destined to crash like the dot-com bubble, this will decrease the index by another 64%.2) Cryptocurrency RegulationAs previously stated, the US government sanctioned the Ethereum mixer application 'Tornado Cash' on August 8th, 2022. As regulatory uncertainty has haunted cryptocurrencies for years, we believe the recent government action against Tornado Cash represents one ofmanyattacks soon to come.Furthermore, the Tornado Cash sanction proved that Ethereum is not censorship-resistant. This flies in the face of millions of ETH investors (including myself) who previously assumed Ethereum applications were immune to government censorship.Therefore, we expect increasing regulation and the relinquishment of previously held beliefs will drive the prices of Ethereum and its DeFi economy much lower.Laura Shin's 'Unchained' podcast episode with Dave Jevans, CEO of Cipher Trace, is the best source I've found to discover incoming cryptocurrency regulations.3) Tether CollapseThe Tether stablecoin represents another dynamic that has haunted the crypto market for years. In 2018, two university professors released a 60-page report detailing how Tether used market manipulation tactics to boost Bitcoin's price during the 2017 rally.Although the crypto market has ignored this controversy for years, the US Department of Justice has recently moved to re-open their investigation into Tether. As the crypto market's largest stablecoin (valued at $43 billion), it's reasonable to assume that a Tether bank fraud conviction would negatively affect cryptocurrency prices.4) Exchange Insolvencies\"Phase 1\" of Bitcoin's bear market (from $68k to $17k) saw numerous cryptocurrency lenders declare insolvency. During Phase 2 of the downtrend (which will bring Bitcoin below $20k), we believe more exchanges and lenders will declare insolvency/bankruptcy.Notably, in a move similar to Celsius and Voyager's pre-insolvency actions, Crypto.com (CRO-USD) has recently decreased the rewards paid to its credit card holders. Although this doesn'tproveanything, it's objectively not a good sign.5) MonkeypoxLastly, we believe the Monkeypox virus represents a significant 'black swan' event that markets aren't pricing in. As of August 18th, 2022, there are 38,735 confirmed global Monkeypox cases and 2,446 suspected cases:Cumulative Confirmed Monkeypox Cases (monkeypox.global.health)Although it's unlikely that Monkeypox will spread as quickly as Covid-19, it is worth noting that cumulative international Monkeypox cases are currently at the same number as Covid-19 during February 2020:Covid-19 Cumulative Confirmed Cases (Our World In Data)We anticipate Monkeypox will develop into a much larger issue as cases increase into 2023. Raising monkeypox cases could frighten many citizens, prompting them to seek vaccinations from a dwindling supply.Short TradesCurrently, we're margin short Bitcoin with an entry at $24.2k, and we're short Ethereum at $1902. We're also short Uniswap (UNI-USD) and Curve Finance (CRV-USD), as we expect incoming cryptocurrency regulations will seriously damage these protocols.RisksTrends in macroeconomics and central bank policy support our bearish outlook for Bitcoin.
