There are hedges on indexes and individual securities with short ETFs. I watch channels closely, and hedge the peaks here or there. Market segment sector rotation helps - emerging, global, international, mid-cap, value, etc.

Personally I think crypto is creating money supply and will make inflation worse. But what do I know? Not much.
