About this month (Sept, 2020)...
Unfortunately September 2020 is terrible so far.
On Sept 23, 2020 the YTD return of CARUS-AR has dropped to +168% (from +408% just 23 days ago!).
Like we warn on the homepage:
Investing in cryptocurrency is a high risk investment, never invest more than you are prepared to lose.
And wow this is no joke.
On Sept 21, 2020 CARUS-AR moved to 90% USD (Tether) and 10% Bitcoin
We did this to protect against losing further gains. See Tweet from @CARUS_AR and some more details about the motivations.
So what now?
We feel that with the crash / correction happening now in Crypto; chances are high that, short to mid term, the rend will remain bearish or stay flat.
For now CARUS-AR will remain mostly in USD (Tether) untill we see the trend turn bullish again or a more solid bottom forming. Prefering to risk short term gains should markets bounce up hard to losing all our long term results.
Will be looking at the global markets: Bitcoin, Ethereum, DeFi, Crypto, Gold and more very closely and hope to get back in during more green times!
