Happy 2025 years since Christ our Lord came to earth and split the calendar! 2024 was a great year, and I have been so thankful for all of you. Excited to see what 2025 has for us all. Lord willing, in 2025 I am going to - make a crypto basics course for those who want to have self custody - make an options course (the thing I am most excited about) - open a discord for us all to better engage with each other How about you guys? What is your biggest win for 2024, and what is your biggest goal for 2025?

Happy Lord's Day everyone! Have a wonderful day with our awesome God! See you tomorrow in the Market Update!

May the Lord greatly bless each of you this weekend! Excited to see what He has for us next week.

There are thousands of Stocks out there, and if you would like to look at anything in particular please don't hesitate to ask! Today's Stock to feature is UPWORK (ticker UPWK). It just recently broke out of the accumulation zone and is backtesting the previous resistance turned support. The potential reward is noted above. HUGE potential reward for anyone looking to get in. Now let's talk about risk. All trading is risky! But here we have a ticker that removed 90% of the risk for us by breaking through a previous resistance zone. The likelihood of it dropping below this zone is low, BUT it is not zero. So when it comes to risk management, don't put in any more than you are willing to lose. If you zoom in on the chart you will see a small support level at $13.55. If it breaks below that, it will most likely go back down to $9. So the $13.55 (10% drawdown from here) is a good spot to set a stop loss. Please feel free to ask any questions, and let me know if there are any specific charts you would like me to review.

I have had several people DM me some questions about crypto the last few days so I thought it may be helpful to post them here. Q: How high will Bitcoin go? A: Just like the weather, I don't know what the hottest temperature of the year will be, but I do know it's coming during the summer. We are just getting started in the summer season of Bitcoin. Projections range anywhere from $180k to $500k sometime in the next 12 months. Most likely it will be somewhere between those two numbers. Q: Should I buy? A: Should you? All up to you and your risk tolerance, goals, and timeline. Whatever you do you should absolutely have a plan. Just throwing money in with no plan is gambling. Plant a trade and trade your plan. Q: What other coins should I buy? A: All depends on the same things. Risk tolerance, goals, and timeline. This cycle I expect the vast majority of money will flow into ai, game, and memecoins. But not all of them. MOST coins will not outperform Bitcoin, and therefor people are better off just getting into Bitcoin Q: But what are some coins outperforming Bitcoin? A: SUPER, PEPE, DOGE are three basic ones people can have access to on Coinbase Q: What about the ones that 1,000x in a few days. A: Those are very risky memecoins that you need to be willing to learn how to self custody and buy on a decentralized exchange. I have been telling people that everyone should at a minimum learn the very basics of how a market and market cycles work before they go and trade. Some people can't afford this group, or don't want to join and that is fine. BUT I want to spare them the pain of losing their money because they don't understand how the game works. IF you have any friends or family that are wanting to FOMO into the market let them know about us, or tell them to take a basic trading course to learn what they are getting into. Otherwise it is generally better for them to just get a financial advisor.
