Don’t be misled by the temporary market surge. It’s likely an attempt by institutional whales to create FOMO and mislead investors, especially those who quickly sold for a profit last Friday. August might turn out to be the worst month of this so-called post-halving bull run—if it can even be called that. The next downturn could be more severe than what we’ve just experienced.

Be wary and cautious. The factors contributing to the recent decline are still present: the Japanese stock market’s issues, rising interest rates, ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, rising unemployment, and record-high inflation. A single green day in the crypto market doesn’t resolve these problems—they’re still very much in play.

I recommend staying out of the market right now. Let the whales play their games without getting caught up in their tactics. This is my personal opinion and not financial advice, though I’ve consistently been accurate in predicting market movements.
