May Madness: Buckle Up

In partnership with

Hey there, Hodlers!

Here's your weekly reality check…

Be careful what news you let influence your investments.

Yeah, politics has always had a hand in shaking markets, but during the Trump presidency?

Man, the media circus hit peak insanity with bias everywhere, narratives spinning faster than a memecoin rug pull on Pump.fun. 🎪

The mainstream media circus around COVID and the recent U.S. election opened a lot of eyes to the biases, half-truths, and sometimes straight-up lies they pump out daily. Many of us smartened up and shifted gears to podcasts and longer-form content. Sure, they have biases too, but at least you get a full conversation to make up your own damn mind.

Look, we aren’t here to play politics, but unfortunately, political noise keeps bleeding into markets, investments, and especially crypto policy - thanks to Trump’s administration being all-in on crypto expansion.

Just peep Bloomberg's headlines this morning - doom, gloom, and "thanks Trump!" vibes all day. 🙄📉

But wait a second - let's actually check some numbers.

The S&P 500 (the market's reliable thermometer) is down just 4.3% year-to-date. Meh, not stellar, but also far from the apocalypse the media is selling.

Zoom out a bit further - up 8.3% from one year ago.

WTF? Exactly. 🤔📈

So, again, careful who you're tuning into and how it shapes your investment moves.

Alright, enough politics - let's dive straight into crypto trading and stack some sats!

If you’re in the markets and not watching the calendar, you’re basically driving blindfolded with a Red Bull in one hand and a Dogecoin in the other. 😵‍💫

Buckle up, because May is packed with spicy events that are about to slap the markets around and send crypto prices on a rollercoaster. 🎢

Here’s your rapid-fire list of what’s coming:

📅 May 7 - Fed Interest Rate Decision

Will we get a rate cut? LOL silly fool…no. Even though everyone wants it (including the President), Polymarket odds are calling it loud and clear - no cut this month.

This day will also see a press conference featuring Jerome Powell’s thoughts on the economy and when Powell speaks, markets move. His tone alone can flip things bullish or bearish, so pay attention!

📅 May 8 - Jobs Data

Unemployment numbers are released and the market will be watching closely to see if job losses are creeping up. TLDR: soft labor market = rate cuts more likely = bullish.

📅 May 12 - $TRUMP Token Snapshot Deadline

Heads up: Gala dinner deadline hits. Expect a sell-the-news dump once the fancy suits and degen holders get their invite. 🍽️

📅 May 13 & 15 - US CPI & PPI Data

Aka inflation check-up #1 and #2. These two inflation reports are basically Jerome’s cheat sheet. Higher numbers = pain. Lower numbers = moon boots on. 🧑‍🚀

📅 May 19 - XRP Futures Launch on CME

XRP finally getting some TradFi love. Expect volatility - it's XRP, after all. 🤪

📅 May 22 - Trump Gala Dinner for Top $TRUMP Holders

More like a marketing stunt than market mover, but hey, it’s 2025 - anything can pump a coin.

📅 May 30 - FTX Creditor Repayment Round #2

Will this trigger sell pressure? Or just more liquidity flowing back into degens' wallets? Watch the charts. 🕵️‍♂️

But we saved this banger for last - the main event of the week. 🔥

This one hits directly at one of our key trades.

It’s gonna help us decide: hold, sell, or double down like absolute degenerates. 💰

The best part? It drops this week.

And…
