Are record-high indices hiding a concentration problem? The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are both at all-time highs. But 78% of stocks declined in September, and 54% sit at least 15% below their 52-week high. The S&P's 3-month correlation to its equal-weight index just fell to .49, with Mag7 and a handful of AI-adjacent firms leading the market and holding the indices together. Yet the same market could be historically cheap by one measure: the S&P's PEG ratio, with median forward P/E now just 16.6. --- Our latest edition of TDR Pro gives you @JustDeauIt 's full read on the macro and market regime behind these conflicting signals.

Almost one year after moving risk-off, @JustDeauIt is back to risk-on. - bitcoin:native is 97 days removed from what increasingly looks like its $58.5k cycle low. - Open interest remains nearly 47% below the prior-cycle high, with funding barely positive — leverage has reset. - 86% of the top 50 assets outperformed BTC over 30 days; 96% did so last week — participation has broadened. - Yet stablecoin supply shows no inflection, while ETF flows have come off considerably. The stablecoin-supply signal for truly risk-on conditions is still missing. Michael’s next focus is BTC’s direction and what that means for liquidity across crypto. —- Our latest edition of TDR Pro gives you Michael’s full market read, key levels and portfolio management.

Every position in our portfolio traces back to a thesis built when the bear market was still consensus. The current shape: > Store of Value — 30.0% > Consumer Retail/Social Trading — 23.0% > Memes — 11.7% > Onchain Options — 9.8% > Onchain Perps — 8.1% > Stablecoins — 7.5% > AI & Digital Identity — 3.7% The portfolio is up 132% in total, with non-BTC positions up 203%. None of these theme were added for this market. Each one is now being re-tested against the same question: does the thesis that justified it in the bear still hold now that the price has moved. —- @JustDeauIt ran that re-test, theme by theme, in our latest 'Risk Management update' Report.

What are your bull-market price targets and what are you basing them on? In our latest report, @JustDeauIt shares his updated targets, which are a rough guide to where prices can go in a bull market. He bases them on fundamentals, token economics and relative valuations, alongside projected growth by theme and sector. Historical precedent also matters. So does the macro setup around projected liquidity conditions and new SEC/CFTC rules and exemptions. Michael expects those targets to be updated as the cycle progresses. The target is therefore built from several inputs that can change as the cycle changes. —- Michael lays out the updated bull-market price targets in the Risk Management Update released recently.

June 30: BTC hits its cycle low. July 1: Robinhood Chain launches + sees immediate activity & speculation. PONS nearly $1m in revenue by 7/15. Onchain peaks in early September, followed by a 60-80% drop in fundamentals and prices. September: Onchain assets hand the baton to quality alts, which re-rate aggressively (with others discovered for the first time off the lows). 96% of the top 50 coins outperform BTC. Now. Over the last 30 days or so, BTC and the majors are up roughly 6-12%. Holding strong. In a range. Technical "early bull" confirmation is in. Meanwhile, the bears focus on macro (while ignoring the fact that the entire space underwent a market structure & leverage reset over the last year). BTC leads the next move in my opinion. ---- I'm sharing a full update on the current conditions with Pro Members tomorrow.

We entered ethereum:0x232ce3bd40fcd6f80f3d55a522d03f25df784ee2 at roughly a $250m market cap. At the time, @JustDeauIt saw @Lighter_xyz as a differentiated product in the onchain perps market, with Ethereum alignment, potential Robinhood distribution and an opportunity to capture the growth of RWA perps. A lot of that has since played out. The @ethereum community embraced the product. Lighter was integrated into Robinhood Wallet. RWA volumes have grown 46%. LIT rose 453% from our initial entry, reaching a $1.3b market cap, and outperformed HYPE by 227% at its local peak. The asset has since re-rated closer to fair value. We’re now watching the next stage: CFTC licensing, institutional/RWA adoption, and how LIT’s valuation evolves relative to HYPE. --- Want to see how ethereum:0x232ce3bd40fcd6f80f3d55a522d03f25df784ee2 fits into the broader portfolio?

NEW REPORT: Macro Concerns? Crypto’s Bull Case vs. Rising Rates Crypto is acting like a bull market even as macro risks keep building. @JustDeauIt and @RyanSAdams break down why Bitcoin and altcoins are shrugging off rising yields, rate-hike fears, and oil volatility, what the market reset is signaling, and why Mike still believes crypto is early in a new cycle.

AI may be entering its late-cycle phase as Wall Street finds new ways to keep the boom funded. @JustDeauIt and @RyanSAdams unpack Nvidia’s $500 billion financing push, why it echoes crypto’s DAT season, and whether leverage is extending the AI trade or creating hidden risk.

NEW REPORT: Bitcoin vs. Nasdaq — Is This Rally a Trap? The Nasdaq has nearly erased a 10% selloff, but the bond market may be telling a very different story. @JustDeauIt and @RyanSAdams break down why the Fed may be letting rising long-term yields tighten financial conditions, whether the rally in equities is built to last, and why Bitcoin may have already bottomed relative to the Nasdaq even if both markets still have more pain ahead. They also cover Bitcoin’s cycle metrics, Strategy’s latest bitcoin:native sales, and the possibility of one final move toward $55K before the next major buying opportunity.
