This is the last rundown of the year. I'm taking next week off.

I hope you enjoy the holiday season and celebrate many wonderful things. Let’s make 2025 the best year yet!

In January's monthly post, I will look at the “macro” as it relates to crypto. For now, I hope December's monthly issue, “Easy Mode is Harder Than You Think,” will offer some perspective about your expectations and decisions.

For those of us who live in the US and many of you in other countries, the Christmas season is a chance to set aside work, spend time with loved ones, and enjoy the holiday spirit as we enter a new year.

While that may not be a big tradition for you, I plan to use this week to catch up with family and reflect on everything that’s going on.

I may post a brief market update this week. Make sure you caught last week’s update.

In that update, I looked at some key engagement data, reviewed five more altcoins, and checked in on larger patterns and trends that matter for the next few weeks and the larger crypto cycle (however, you find “cycle”).

Also, make sure you got my alert.

Scroll down for some content you may enjoy, including my first annual end-of-year questions and answers.

End-of-Year Questions and Answers

A quick round-up of questions I’m getting.

No more discounts on subscriptions? 

You get a 15% discount when you sign up. I may have a fifth-anniversary sale in March. Maybe. TBD!

Will you offer another round of discounted portfolio reviews? 

Not at the moment. I may offer a discount when my schedule frees up. Until then, the normal fee applies.

Do you accept sponsorships?

Yes, selectively.

I have access to an ad network for the little banners you see at the top of my posts. They vet the companies, I choose which ones I think make the most sense for you and others who read the newsletter.

For individual placements, email me or reply to this post.

When will you publish more altcoin reports? 

When the market cools off.

Will the market peak in October 2025?

Only anonymous Twitter accounts know the answer to that question. Let’s see what the market looks like as we move ahead.

We have my exit chart, analysis, and the signals I discuss in my market updates. Since Bitcoin’s price goes up and down 50% at the peaks and bottoms, we can’t get too precise.

Some say you should follow data models, technical indicators, and cycle projections. I’m writing a series of Medium articles about why that’s not your best bet.

Will Bitcoin reach $250,000 in 2025?

No.

Why not?

I’ll tell you some other time. I try to keep the rundown short. Not enough room to explain here.

Can you teach me how to trade?

No, but with my premium subscription, you’ll get vital perspective and context to make better trading decisions. Try Quantra and 52 Trades.

Premium subscribers, look for a small update this week. Everybody else, I’ll see you in 2025!
