I had anticipated reflexivity to extend in the course of the mania part of BULL markets, nevertheless it appears to be like fairly fixed from the final two cycles… This cycle is fascinating; reflexivity is rising quite than static in comparison with final cycles. Whereas we now want extra capital invested to get related % beneficial properties in value, the impact of HODLers holding onto cash tighter is magnifying ‘quantity go up’ per greenback invested.”
