Opinion on Markets: It looks like we are able to see continued narratives to see stocks push higher and now noticing that some of the smaller marketcap stocks and undervalued plays are starting to catch bids. This is usually part of a capital rotation where investors feel confident in the markets but don’t want to chase stocks at ATH’s so they look down the list to what else hasn’t pumped or is smaller with more upside potential. Crypto trying to find a narrative/momentum to keep up with stocks.

Another typical week for investors where you have a period of hope and momentum followed by a pushback.

Prediction: Last week of leaving the squiggle lines on the charts. Overall minus the deeper correction it played out fairly well. We are now at the end of the squiggles and think that we can at least hold/get back to $92k this week. Next week I’ll make a new round for what I expect of January/February price action.

Saw a 5% pump from last Sunday that has since retraced. Overall not looking as good but still can’t say it looks bad. The $3,000 level has been holding well and as mentioned last time if we can continue to hold this range I think $3,400 is still on the table.

Prediction: Think we should push back up to $3,200 at least.

Still above 3 trillion which in these conditions is a win. If we can keep holding that then we have potential to run back to 3.6 trillion.

Semiconductors & AI: Still a hot market going into 2026. seeing $VLN (Valen Semiconductor up 59%) and $BKKT up 45%

Precious Metals & Mining: Still staying relatively hot and holding up near ATHs

Real Estate - Seeing some gains in real estate tech and some benefiting from rate cuts. $OPAD up 71% and $LDI up 39% YTD.

Energy - Seeing another push in energy with Venezuela news

Defense (New) - Some capital rotation in defensive plays with 1.5 trillion military budget mentioned

Giving it another week, I’d rather take 2 or 3 trades in a week when markets are getting hot than try to force something and hold for a few weeks

Closed Trades

$XRP - Stopped at -12%

$UNI - Closed at 34%

$ROSE - Stopped out at -20%

$CRV - Stopped out at -23%

TRACKING WITH GURU

$BERRY now up two weeks in a row possibility benefiting from AI still being a popular narrative. Overall nice to see green on all but one. A slow but possible comeback still on the horizon.

$COR, $BERRY, $PAPPLE, $PROOF and $GURU

After unemployment now we have CPI and PPI week which should bring some more volatility. CPI expected to remain the same at 2.7%. PPI will be a delayed report. So far everything that has been delayed has come out good so have a sneaky suspicion that we’ll see both showing inflation cooling.

Eyes on some stocks in different sectors like $IREN and $BKKT. Possibly get some additional REIT exposure if real estate catches some momentum. Energy/nuclear hot so looking in there as well and seeing if defensive plays have more room to run.

OPEN TRADES

$FLNC - Currently up 31%, high of 36%

$CROX- Closing at 6%

$TGT - Currently up 2.7%, high of 5%

CLOSED TRADES

$CROX - Closed at 6%

$SABR - Closed at -11%

$CAN- Closed at 111%

$DRD - Closed at 62%

$ROOT - Closed at -4.5%

$NGVC - Closed at -6.1%

$TGT - Closed at -12%

Still looks good, high of 11% still up 7% from entry. Will see if we can fill some of those upper gaps.

Pushing towards 35% gains, and still like targets of upper 30s.

$CROX ( ▲ 0.12% ) (Crocs) - Happy to close at 6%. Will rotate into something better.
