2025: A Year of Violent Distribution

Forget the bull-bear narrative. What we got instead was pure chop—grinding sideways with violent swings that tested everyone's conviction.

The numbers tell it:
• Total market cap took a hit, sliding 8.2% to around $2.99 trillion
• Sentiment whipped hard—one moment Greed was in control, next thing you know we're staring at Extreme Fear

What does this mean? The market's got resilience, sure. But it's walking on thin ice. One macro shock—Fed policy shift, geopolitical tension, anything—and we could see sharp repricing.

The real story isn't about direction. It's about volatility management. If you survived 2025 without getting shaken out, you understand now: patience beats panic every single time.
