Im a regular Joe. This is not another "crisis". This is 1970's revisited.

I’m out for now.
This doesn’t feel like a normal market anymore. It feels pushed, stretched, and honestly… a bit fake.
We’ve already had 2–3 strong pumps, mostly driven by hype. Now we’re seeing another rally in the same month. That kind of move usually doesn’t end well. It feels like everything is being forced higher, not naturally growing.
And when I look around, the bigger picture doesn’t match what the market is doing:
The Gulf situation is still tense — not stable at all
Fuel reserves are dropping, prices slowly climbing
Interest rates aren’t done — they could easily go up again
Money isn’t flowing everywhere, just into a few areas
At the same time, price moves feel strange. Too fast, too clean, almost controlled. Really manipulated. Like the market isn’t really free right now. Just for insiders. We ay lottery tickets all the time.
That’s what keeps me awake at night.
Because when things are this tight and unnatural, they don’t slowly correct… they break. Explode...5-10% up...down
I’m not trying to call the exact day, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a global 20–25% drop once this loses momentum. And when it starts, it could be quick.
For me, it’s not worth the risk anymore. Protecting my cash matters more than squeezing the last few percent.
I’ll sit this one out and come back when things make more sense. Idk when.
See you in a few months...
