The Bear Market is Over, They Said

I have a lot going on in the next 24 hours but I wanted to get this out, even if rushed.

I’m being told the crypto bear market is over.

This is from a newsletter JC Parets, a “traditional” finance guy I follow, sends out:

And here’s Bankless, another newsletter (crypto focused) I sometimes read:

They headline tries to stay impartial but the meat does not.

These are just a sampling of the newsletters and tweets I’m seeing that are, in my opinion, overly optimistic about the short to mid-term outlook for crypto.

To be clear, it does not strike me as bearish either.

It strikes me right in the middle because that’s what it is. We’re in the middle of a big range.

That makes me skeptical.

Although the only thing you need to understand are the technicals from that weekly chart, it’s worth taking a step back and answer the “why now” question.

The answer: Greed.

The more in-depth answer: Yield farming.
