Managing Editor’s Note: Tonight at 8 p.m. ET, our colleague Jeff Brown is having an online strategy session to tell you about his latest AI breakthrough. Cryptocurrencies are among the most explosive assets in history. Bitcoin alone has minted countless millionaires. But they are also incredibly volatile. Investing in cryptos can feel like riding a roller coaster… with extreme ups and downs. But what if you could capture most of the upside of cryptos while avoiding all those nasty downturns? That’s what Jeff will be discussing tonight at his strategy session. And if you’d like to attend, there are just a few hours left to RSVP. To save your seat with one click, simply go right here. The Great Unwind Is Just Starting By Larry Benedict, editor, Trading With Larry Benedict For the first time in 138 days, the S&P 500 closed below its 50-day moving average (MA – blue line) this week. 
(Click here to expand image) That was the longest streak trading above the key support level since 2007. While investors grew accustomed to an easy trading environment, I’ve been highlighting the growing warning signs of a pullback in recent months. That includes Bitcoin’s inability to keep pace with the S&P 500 since the summer. The largest crypto by market cap has fallen 27% from its peak. We’ve also noted the sharp deterioration in stock market breadth, which is how you measure participation in a trend. (Fewer stocks in the trend = a weakening trend.) While the S&P 500 was making new highs near the end of October, less than half of the stocks in the index were trading above their own 50-day MA. And don’t forget the repeating CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) pattern I showed you that warned of higher volatility levels. Yet while the recent action might feel bad, the main catalyst of the pullback is just getting underway… and that means this might only be the start. | Recommended Links
Retire In Just 60 Days? We don't know if it's possible for anyone to retire in just 60 days… but Jeff Brown calls this phenomenon a “60-day profit window” because whenever these rare windows open… They give you a chance to make six figures in 60 days or less… over and over again… No matter what's happening in the crypto space. That's why tonight, November 20, at 8 p.m. ET… He's having an online strategy session to give you all the details. Click here to automatically RSVP.

Buy This Gold Stock Before the New Year America is about to see a massive shift in how regular people buy and store gold. Next year, the world's largest gold buyer is expected to launch a new way for everyday Americans to invest in gold with a simple tap on their phone – and it could go live in 2026. When it does, a tiny gold stock trading around $1.60 could explode. Gold would need to jump another $4,000 an ounce for you to double your money… But this stock only needs to rise $1.60 to do the same. Click here for the full story – plus four more gold stocks, Garrett Goggin, Founder of Golden Portfolio, believes could soar.
| Outlook for Rate Cuts The narratives around the recent drop in the stock market seem to change every day. But the real driver of this down move comes back to just one catalyst: the outlook for interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. The market odds for another 0.25% cut at the Fed’s December meeting are now a coin flip. Those same odds stood at 94% favoring another cut just a month ago. Plus, the market is projecting only three cuts in total through next year. The Fed has played a key role in boosting stock prices through loose monetary policy ever since the central bank started cutting rates in late 2024. But now that catalyst could be going away. And trust me, we’ve seen nothing yet when it comes to Fed-induced volatility in the stock market. Remember, the recent pullback in the market comes from the mere outlook for fewer rate cuts. The Fed is still expected to lower rates, just not as much as initially expected. It’s a clear sign of how sensitive the market has become to interest rates – and its addiction to easy money to fuel more gains. It also means the real fireworks haven’t started yet… Tune in to Trading With Larry Live

Loose monetary policy helps inflate asset prices, but tighter policy eventually catches up. Over the past 25 years, the S&P 500 saw rallies give way to major bear markets in 2000-2002, 2008-2009, 2020, and 2022. Every single bull run began with rate cuts. Each bear market occurred after the Fed had to reverse course and tighten policy. That’s why you need to pay close attention to how the rate outlook keeps shifting. The market reaction to a slowing pace of rate cuts reveals a weakness in speculative assets like stocks and crypto. The nosebleed valuation levels and excessive speculation and risk-taking by investors can keep running high for a long time. But when the foundation starts to shake, these are some of the first asset classes to wobble with it. Many might rationalize that the recent market action is just a rough patch in the rally. But if the outlook for rate cuts keeps dropping, volatility could really go through the roof… and we could see vulnerable areas of the market show some real downside as that reality hits… Happy Trading, Larry Benedict
