Futures action early Monday suggests the stock market will start the week just shy of its record high as the bullish calls keep coming in. Especially after Bitcoins Record $100,000 Milestone was achieved!
A new Set Target of 7,100 for the S&P 500 by the end of 2025, which would be the highest on Wall Street is the new target.
There certainly seems to be a lot of seasonal cheer. After an election-related jump in crypto assets and other technology driven markets the overall retail investments firms are not particularly gung-ho. We see many private investment and private equity investment rather than the larger retail investment.
Overall, inflows in November and December have subdued relative to full-year averages, but even so we can expect retail traders to ramp up short-term purchases a couple more times before the year wraps. Especially in December which notoriously becomes a volatile swing for both crypto assets but as well as standard stock and commodity choices. I believe there’s an overall excitement and optimistic outlook moving forward in investor sentiment and that’s usually a healthy backdrop for risk assets. But and there is always that big BUT! There is one problem: retail investor activity has let's say a “riskier pocket of the market” which remains the most sizeable. For example, flows into small caps have re-accelerated in the beginning of December, while signs of profit-taking around Thanksgiving in crypto-related stocks and exchange traded funds has reversed.
Should current flows mimic the Dec ’23-Jan ’24 spike rather than the 1Q24 one, then we could see buying activity continuing to accelerate in the new year, especially into the Jan 20th inauguration, which could act as a sell-the-news’s catalyst. So, beware and always be mindful of your investments, do your research and always apply a stop loss to minimize your losses if a situation like this may arise.
The biggest relative rebound in speculative activity has occurred in bitcoin investor MicroStrategy... most notably the surge in out-of-the-money call options and the buying of levered long ETFs in the company. The purchase of MSTR leveraged ETFs has risen just as demand for similar products on Nvidia and Tesla and SpaceX, pretty volatile stocks themselves however these have declined. Such a switch from the speculative to the highly speculative is a cause for concern, the overall top-down upshot is that retail participation continues to look relatively healthy, and a bottom-up assessment suggests risky behaviors have picked up and could see segments of the retail world get burned should the broad risk environment face a growth or policy curveball. Ya never know how the market may turn - that is why it is important to follow your gut, have a game plan and always do your research.
Dont worry the YOLO crowd remains active in pockets of the market. Just watch any sudden reversals in MSTR price action as that could spark contagion across the crypto TradFi spaces and other DeFi prospects.

The Crypto Market
Trending Crypto Assets is KASPA
Steady Gains & Trading Activity seems to be the trend right now. Kaspa (KAS) recently experienced a bullish trend with a significant 7.91% rise in its price over a single day, accompanied by a 114.39% surge in trading volume. This suggests a strong investor interest and a favorable market sentiment toward Kaspa. We shall see what brings in the future for KASPA and with current price of $0.1139, still shy of its all-time high of $0.20. Technical indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Directional Movement Index (DMI) both reflect a robust buying momentum, bolstering hopes for a potential break past the $0.50 mark. Many analysts and myself are pretty optimistic. Now speaking of optimism, there isn't one project I am not more optimistic about than BlockDAG:
BlockDAG: The High-Growth Savior with exclusive offers frankly too good to turn down even if you only had $1.00
BlockDAG has established itself as one of the top cryptos with a record-breaking presale of over $109 million. BDAG coin’s growth trajectory is nothing short of extraordinary, skyrocketing 2500% since the presale kicked off mid year of 2024 and what a remarkable ascent from just $0.001 to $0.025 in 25 batches!
Such scale of growth for a presale coin is quite rare, actually the fastest and largest any crypto ICO asset for that matter. This truly sets high standards in the crypto marketplace for new cryptocurrencies but this one is going to be hard to beat. Crypto analysts give BlockDAG’s robust technology and detailed roadmap the credit for its success. The crypto world watches intently as the project continues smashing through its goals outlined in its roadmap—from eclipsing the $100 million presale mark to launching a successful testnet. $5M Daily Whale Inflows and $1 Price Forecast by early to mid 2025: BlockDAG Surges Ahead...
BlockDAG’s X1 Miner App:
BlockDAG is rewriting the rules of crypto mining with its X1 Miner app, now boasting over 270,000 active users. Designed for simplicity and efficiency, the X1 app eliminates the need for expensive hardware, offering a seamless way to mine up to 20 BDAG coins daily directly from a smartphone. Available for both Android and iOS, the app’s compact size (just 50MB) ensures a smooth experience without straining device performance or battery life.
The X1 Miner’s standout feature is its Proof-of-Engagement (PoE) algorithm, rewarding users for their activity and engagement. Miners can boost their output by tapping the lightning button every 24 hours and enjoy an intuitive and accessible mining process. Mining enthusiasts are also leveraging the opportunity to pair the X1 Miner with the X10 Miner, which increases the mining output by 10x. This has surged the demand for BlockDAG’s X series miners, driving the total miner sales past $5.8 million. At the same time, BlockDAG’s presale success is also turning heads across the crypto industry. Having raised over $159 million from selling more than 16.8 billion BDAG coins, the project has broken records to become the biggest presale in history. Those who jumped early into the project have already witnessed a 2240% increase in their stakes, as the BDAG coins price has climbed from its initial $0.001 to $0.0234 in the current batch, making it the best crypto coin for 2024. With its rapidly growing presale, BlockDAG is closing in on its ambitious $600 million target, expected to be achieved within the next few months.
The timing couldn’t be more favorable to start mining BDAG, as the prices for these coins are rising at lightning speed, giving early miners a chance to secure higher rewards. However, this window won’t stay open for long, as joining now allows miners to maximize their output and stay ahead as demand and mining for BDAG surges, making early adoption a key to long-term profitability!
BlockDAG’s X1 Miner App:
For BlockDAG, these goals aren't just about meeting impressive statistics. The project is meaningfully enhancing its community's experience by hitting one goal at a time. Take, for example, BlockDAG's initiatives like the $1 million giveaway and the latest rebrand of their website. These moves have clearly struck a chord with its user base, which is evident from its growing community of over 170,000 unique holders globally.

The community continues to grow even further with BlockDAG’s current offer: a limited-time 100% bonus on all BDAG coin purchases. By entering the code BDAG100, buyers can now double their coin holdings—an opportunity that’s capturing the attention of crypto enthusiasts everywhere.
