What. A. Year.

<Thread>
Remember January, when everyone thought this year would be totally normal?

That changed. Fast.

By February, global markets were starting to drop.
Volatility was spiking.

The chart below shows the VIX. That's everything you need to know.

Travel and airline stocks dropped. Just about everything was red.
Then crude oil happened.

We may never see price action like this again.

-$40 per barrel.

Negative. Forty.
By summer, things had changed.

• Tech was starting to rise.
• Crypto was bouncing.
• Travel was rebounding.
• Stimulus checks were in the air.
• Interest rates were near 0.
• Global markets were catching a bid.
Tesla became a top 10 largest company by market cap.

Work from home stocks emerged.

Electric vehicle companies soared.

SPACs made it mainstream.

Gambling apps started to rise.
Meanwhile, the US Dollar depreciated.

The money printer definitely went brrr.
Other currencies, like the Euro, started to gain strength.
The Nikkei, Japan's largest and most important equity index, hit 30-year highs.
As the year neared its end, something else started to happen.
