European Head of Research @ Bitwise - #Bitcoin - Macro - PhD in Financial History - Not investment advice - Views strictly mine - Beware of impersonators
@JulienBittelCFA has been posting interesting charts lately.
High-frequency indicators like raw industrial commodity prices, copper/gold etc have actually confirmed this revival in long leading indicators as well.
Think one of the key reasons why #bitcoin & other assets defy going much lower during risk off is related to BTCTCs providing a constant floor but also related to the fact that global (excess) liquidity keeps grinding higher!
I would lean YES since both inflation & employment metrics have deteriorated even more in a standard Taylor rule since the Fed stopped cutting rates in December 2024:
As the U.S. softens, we’re observing a shift in bitcoin’s macro sensitivity.
On July 2, I’ll explore together with @BradleyDukeBTC and @Matt_Hougan what the latest economic data tells us about:

This webinar series is built for allocators who prioritize macro perspective over market noise.
This isn’t for headline-chasers. It’s for those building conviction through macro clarity.

This is not investment advice. Professional investors only. Capital at risk.
I'm not a geopolitical analyst but what I do know is that consistently high military expenditures relative to GDP tend to be a precursor to widespread military conflict...
It's a kind of "follow the money" logic.
Middle Eastern countries have consistently been the top spenders over the past decade.
Saudi Arabia and Israel even rank among the top 5 worldwide based on data by @SIPRIorg
Bitcoin‘s performance is increasingly being skewed to the upside as a growing group of buyers — corporations— are continuing to buy regardless of performance.
Limits downside volatility and increases upside volatility.
I don't now who needs to hear this but #bitcoin continues to exhibit a lower realized vol than major US equity indices despite record high geopolitical uncertainty.
