2024 review
Before you know it, it's already Christmas, which also means 2024 is coming to an end and a new year. This year was a big bull market full of opportunities for both US stocks and cryptocurrency. Although Hong Kong stocks $Hang Seng Index (800000.HK)$ Probably no one would think of it as a bull market, but it also ushered in at least two small summers, and I believe everyone should also reap some benefits. However, even if there are no gains or losses, it should be viewed as a learning opportunity, scrutinize the mistakes made and missed opportunities, and prepare for the next year.
Let's start with early 2024. In January, the first thing to mention was a Bitcoin spot ETF $Crypto Spot ETF (LIST22873.HK)$ Listed. On the day of listing, the market immediately provided a short-term short selling opportunity for “Sell The News”. Bitcoin dropped to a maximum of $49,000 to $38,500 within the next two weeks. However, this event laid the foundation for this year's big cryptocurrency year.
Also in January, the two major shareholders of this year were born, Nvidia (NVDA) $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ and ultra-microcomputer (SMCI) $Super Micro Computer (SMCI.US)$ They all broke through the long-term consolidation range, then swayed all the way up, and the AI sector boom was rekindled. If you're a trend investor, these two stocks are textbook-style breakout trades. It's actually not difficult to seize rising points; the difficulty is whether you...

Recently, as expected, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points, meeting market expectations. However, why is there a slowdown in rate cuts next year? First of all, let me clarify that I will not provide direct answers. For those who are willing to learn, I will provide hints. Please go find the answers and think independently. Interest rate cuts and hikes have different effects. Hikes mainly suppress inflation, while rate cuts mainly have three effects. What are these three effects, you can go do some research.
Why is the market reacting so strongly to Powell's slowdown in rate cuts? Because of concerns about inflation rebounding. Why? Due to Trump's tariff policies (here you can go ask "orthopedics" to learn how they are formed). If in the future inflation leads the Federal Reserve back to a rate hike path, what impact will this have on the stock market? I know this may be a bit challenging for those without financial knowledge, so I'll give the answer directly. In a situation where the U.S. economy is already in a soft landing, rather than a hard landing or face landing, combined with U.S. tech stocks, especially visible applications of AI starting up recently, as long as the rate of return on tech stocks grows higher than the Fed's rate hikes, tech stocks may show no fear of rate hikes and soar (but the premise is, as I already hinted in the narrative, remember to pay attention to the key points).
Let's briefly discuss the direction of the large cap. Based on observation and celestial calculations, the technology stocks representing Nasdaq have not met the satisfaction level of increase. Funds will need to be rotated in the future, while individual stock Indicators have been hovering near oversold levels for several days. If you think it's about to fail, I can only hope... $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ Indicators have been hovering near oversold levels for a few days. If you think it's about to fail, I can only hope...

Today's video share:
1. From June 29th, I created a live trading demonstration account with $0.025 million, showing how to use small capital and volatility to profit during the worst time of the large cap market. Today, on August 2nd, in one month, the account value has increased to $0.05 million, with the most profitable three days being the recent three days of high market volatility.
2. The S&P has high market volatility, it is reasonable to wait for direction. Put option for henry hub natural gas, 30 minutes of crude oil is also consolidating, but personally I also lean towards put option.
