Markets are turning - has it bottomed out?

 


Why are the markets falling right now?

In order to be able to evaluate whether the current recovery phase is lasting or just a bear market rally, the reasons why the markets are currently being sold off must first be shown.

In addition to the persistently high inflation, the subsequent increase in interest rates is poison for the economy. Rising interest rates not only make the valuation of riskier assets such as cryptocurrencies or tech stocks unattractive, they also ensure that the money supply in the market grows more slowly. This makes money more expensive (supply-demand), which can lead to deflationary tendencies. Wall Street is therefore particularly afraid of mistakes made by the FED in interest rate policy.

In addition, there are fears that the general economic situation could lead to a recession. Inflation, rising interest rates, broken supply chains, lack of raw materials and the war in Ukraine. There are enough reasons for a recession.


Why the current rally is a bull trap

Wall Street is in a bear market. The above reasons are increasingly putting worry lines on investors' faces. However, small recovery phases, like the current one, are normal in bear markets. Although the Dow Jones was able to close a trading week in the black for the first time since the end of May, this does not change the reasons for the sell-off of many stocks. Company valuations are currently aligning with rising interest rates.


So you shouldn't be guided by the evaluation of old days, but must include the new circumstances. In times of rising interest rates, valuation standards such as P/E & Co are becoming more important again. Highly rated stocks such as Tesla, Cloudflare & Co must therefore adapt to the new circumstances. The recovery rally may therefore be short-lived.


Why the bottom has been reached

However, there are also signs that the bear market is coming to an end. On the one hand there is the argument "What is to come?"

The issue of inflation has markets firmly in its grip


War, inflation, rising interest rates, lack of raw materials, recession, broken supply chains. - What else is to come? Many investors are of the opinion that nothing can come now. However, this argument should be treated with caution, as there is always more to come.


However, following the argument, the FED also has the task of keeping the economy stable. As a result of the exogenous shocks mentioned above, the FED could tackle inflation by raising key interest rates a little more gently than originally planned. Neither the FED nor US President Biden can afford to send the US economy into a prolonged recession.

The same applies to the ECB, although its actions are even more restricted. Interest rates for financially troubled countries such as Greece or Spain have already risen to over four percent. If the ECB raises interest rates too aggressively, there is a risk of another euro crisis.


Conclusion

Currently, the only way to tell with a crystal ball is whether the recovery phase is beginning or whether this is just a bear market rally. The fact is, however, that central banks will not send the economy into a recession that lasts for years. In case of doubt, the fight against inflation would have to take a back seat.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
