Proflex Market Update

Dear Readers,

It's been an exhilarating period for those closely following the markets, and particularly rewarding for our Proflex subscribers. As NVDA and Bitcoin continue to carve new highs day after day, we're reminded of the dynamic nature of these markets and the opportunities they present. As we've shared with our subscribers, while we sense the current stock market rally might be approaching its final stages, our strategy remains clear: we do not aim to predict the market's peak. Instead, we'll let the market signals guide our actions. Navigating this terrain may present challenges, but rest assured, we're here to steer you through these exciting yet complex times.

Narrowing Market Breadth:

The market's momentum is increasingly concentrated, with Apple showing signs of significant weakness in recent days and the Mega 7 are no longer all same. This divergence is often a precursor to broader market shifts. Despite the S&P 500 reaching new highs in 16 of the last 18 weeks—a rare feat—it's crucial to remain vigilant for signs of a potential correction. We will update soon on the portfolio adjustments we plan to make while we are evaluating the market signals for potential timing of market reversal.

Navigating Market Heat:

In these heated market conditions, it's imperative to approach investment decisions with a level head. The allure of joining the fray, driven by FOMO (fear of missing out), can be strong. However, with indicators suggesting that a correction may be on the horizon, strategic caution is advised. Our emphasis is on identifying and acting upon confirmed market shifts rather than speculative moves.

Bitcoin continuing to show big moves:

A significant highlight for our Proflex All-Access members is the achievement of our short-term target of $67,500 on Bitcoin. This milestone is not just a win for our investment strategy but a validation of our understanding of Bitcoin's fundamentals and its role as "digital gold." The current momentum, underpinned by a demand that outpaces supply, mirrors our expectations and reinforces the value of our Crypto Pulse newsletter insights.

We are on the cusp of reaching an all-time high (ATH) in the Bitcoin USD price, a significant milestone that underscores the cryptocurrency's enduring appeal and robust market performance. Notably, Bitcoin has already achieved ATH when priced in almost all other major currencies, including the EUR, JPY, CAD, among others. This widespread achievement across various currencies highlights the global confidence in Bitcoin's value. However, reaching these heights in USD terms does not signify the end of the road for Bitcoin's price journey. On the contrary, we firmly believe that Bitcoin still has a considerable distance to traverse before the demand/supply imbalance reaches equilibrium. The dynamics of this digital asset continue to suggest a bullish outlook, underpinned by strong fundamentals that support its growth potential well into the future.

Here are the number of days Bitcoin took after reaching new ATH in last few cycles:

• Dec 2020: 18 days
• March 2017: 84 days
• Nov 2013: 10 days
• Mar 2013: 18 days

We have seen multiple cycles play out and this is probably the start of current hype cycle as most people have got left behind as ETF availability is still ramping up across various investment portfolios worldwide.
