The market is poised to reach new highs in the first two quarters of 2025, propelled by momentum carried over from 2024. A strong start is expected as optimism fuels equity markets, supported by resilient corporate earnings and stabilizing global growth. However, the Federal Reserve’s reluctance to reduce interest rates will exert downward pressure on the real estate sector and broader U.S. economy, potentially cooling consumer confidence and spending. This will begin to weigh on market sentiment as the year progresses.

Simultaneously, the geopolitical landscape is expected to take a turbulent turn with the return of Donald Trump to office. His administration’s confrontational stance towards China is likely to intensify trade and technological tensions, escalating risks of an all-out economic war. These developments will dampen investor confidence and disrupt global supply chains, placing additional strain on markets. After a strong start, equities indices may peak in the first quarter before gradually losing steam, leading to a year-end significantly below opening levels.

Amid this volatility, Bitcoin and other digital assets are expected to gain prominence as investors seek alternatives to hedge against geopolitical and economic instability. Bitcoin's decentralized nature and increasing institutional adoption will bolster its foothold, potentially driving greater integration into mainstream financial markets. This shift could signal a growing appetite for diversification amidst an uncertain macroeconomic and political climate. $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$  $MicroStrategy(MSTR)$  $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$

    I think it's worthwhile to hold some  coins or/& coin related stocks as part of a portfolio (e.g. 20%) when bitcoin retraces below 100k
