Where does the S&P 500 stand?

Two quarters are in the dust for 2022 and we have watched the S&P 500 get beaten up for the last six months. The SPY is currently trading at $375.31, down 21.46% from the opening price of 2022 and up 3.4% from a recent new 2022 low on June 17th. SPY remains in a bear market, recording lower lows and even lower highs.

Reviewing the first half of 2022, we have observed rising inflation and continual rate hikes. As fear of economic recession has become a common talking point, the market continues to search for buyers. As more dollars chase fewer goods, it seems that we will not see a change in market behavior until the economic factors that cause increases in cost find equilibrium.

Remaining bearish so far in 2022 has been profitable. Each new market low has been met with buying pressure and each bear market rally is met with a larger number of sellers. Even though there appears to be attractive price levels for many popular market assets, overall selling pressure continues to outweigh buying pressure across the market.

    • In this buoyant market with Bitcoin hitting $42,000 and Ethereum reaching $2,200, there's a risk of getting swept up in the excitement fueled by wealth screenshots shared online. However, after impulsive investments, many realize they might still be at a loss, far from outperforming Bitcoin or Ethereum. Here are key takeaways to survive a bull market gleaned from over six years of experience: 01 Few Profits in a Bull Market A bull market implies rising cryptocurrency prices, driven by an optimistic outlook. Yet, making profits is not for everyone. Regardless of positive news or technology, price surges happen when buying outpaces selling. Bull markets inflate numbers but only a few benefit. 02 Preventing Bull Market Missteps In this evolving industry, new narratives emerge with each market rally, driving interest. To navigate: - New Narratives: Expect new storylines; innovation typically starts on-chain. Current trends hint at Bitcoin's ecosystem and various emerging concepts. - Consensus and Open-mindedness: Consensus drives interest. Keeping an open mind is crucial to understand new narratives. - Identifying Leaders: Market cap often defines leadership, but sectors may lack clear leaders or witness transitions. - Top Institutional Trends: Monitoring top institutions' moves is crucial, although they might influence the market significantly. 03 Pitfalls to Avoid Despite market surges, human impulses persist. Here are key pitfalls: - Leveraged Contracts: Playing these is risky; initial success may lead to overconfidence, resulting in significant losses. - All-In Attitude: Don't exhaust your capital; respect the market and learn from past market crashes. - Frequent Trading: Emotional trading often results in losses; patience is vital. - Following Trends Blindly: Avoid blindly following trends; understanding the project you're investing in is crucial. .Surviving a bull market isn't about picking money off the ground; it's about staying steady and avoiding pitfalls in an enticing yet volatile landscape.
