In this festive episode of Tech Trend Investments, Elizabeth Powell and Joseph Grassa broadcast from Southern California, sharing holiday traditions like “Polar Bear Plunges” and handmade pierogis while staying laser-focused on the market’s “Santa Claus rally.” Elizabeth reflects on the accuracy of her recent CPI prediction (hitting 2.7%) and emphasizes that the current end-of-year lull is actually a strategic “on-sale” window. The hosts conclude that while retail is busy shopping, institutional players are quietly positioning for a massive high-volume resurgence in early 2026.
Predictions and Market Calls
Ethereum (ETH) 2026 Forecast: Elizabeth officially predicts that Ethereum will hit at least two new all-time highs in 2026, viewing current prices as a deep discount.
The “January 6th” Resurgence: Forecasted that retail and institutional capital will flood back into the market between January 5th and 6th, likely pushing prices past the $3,250 mark.
End-of-Year Targets: Identified a tight current range between $2,923 and $3,247. A breakout past $3,075 is the key signal for a run toward $3,400.
Market Cycle Pivot: Analyzed the current “down cycle” (Nov 5 – Feb 5) as a healthy accumulation phase, predicting a major “upcycle” surge to begin around February 5th, 2026.
Institutional Hold Strategy: Reiterated that a massive December sell-off is unlikely because institutions are in significant profit and will hold until the new tax year to avoid 2025 liabilities.
