Global financial markets have been jolted by surging volatility after President Trump’s surprise announcement of steep global tariffs, raising concerns about a potential US recession. This uncertainty has triggered a sharp sell-off in risk-correlated assets, with the effects rippling into the cryptocurrency space. What’s particularly intriguing, however, is that current price levels now present a compelling accumulation opportunity, regardless of the underlying fundamentals. Earlier this year, when bitcoin surged to a new all-time high just shy of $110,000, a correction seemed plausible. Similarly, as stocks climbed to their own record peaks, the potential for a pullback was evident. In assessing where a higher low might emerge for equities and bitcoin, key levels of prior resistance-turned-support came into focus. For the S&P 500, this was the 2022 high around 4,800, while for bitcoin, it was the 2024 peak near $74,000. The weekend’s market turmoil has finally brought these critical zones into play. We’re now looking at medium- and long-term levels that should strongly appeal to both US equity and bitcoin investors. Ethereum, too, trading down toward $1,400, offers a similarly enticing chance to accumulate. It’s often said that fundamentals find a way to align when technical signals become undeniable—and right now, the technical setup is loudly hinting at a bullish reversal. While the exact fundamental trigger remains unclear, it wouldn’t be surprising to see easing tensions around global trade or supportive moves from major central banks pave the way. For now, the stage is set, and the opportunity is hard to ignore. |
