Markets Focused On Omicron
Markets from Stocks to Crypto sold off yesterday as panic ensued over a new covid variant that is supposedly even more virulent than Delta although this hasn't been confirmed.
The sell off in stocks was also pretty sharp with 2% and more declines across the board. The VIX is also at 28 which is also a good starting point for long term buying although short term, the market could still tank.
Personally, once the dust settles from all this panic, I think the markets will head up again because it means that the Fed will postpone the tightening of monetary conditions till 2022.
I bought some Bitcoin at 54800 yesterday and my next buy level is 46000 if we get that low. The Plan B scenario of $95,000 by end of November does look unlikely at this point with only three days to go till the end of the month.
Since it was announced here in South Africa the local currency the rand has also taken a beating I don’t think the crypto market priced it in I think people were dumping for Black Friday deals because consumers
Yeah black friday's probably another possibility. Crypto will bounce back sooner than stocks I think.
