Bitcoin still afloat

Bitcoin does not generate interest income like bonds. It does not make dividends like stocks. Against the backdrop of the cryptocurrency market capitalization surging 19-fold from March 2020 to November 2021 to $2.9 trillion, its leader was interesting as a fast-growing asset. Its high volatility also attracted attention. However, the ensuing winter-spring sell-off, followed by a consolidation near $30,000, caused BTC to lose its appeal. To the delight of its fans, it survived. This is already good news and a reason to speculate about the outlook.

As an asset that does not bring interest and dividend earnings, Bitcoin is more like gold. Precious metal has intrinsic value, and its reserves are limited in nature. It is not for nothing that a process such as capital spillover from the gold market to the cryptocurrency market is used to justify the fall of the XAU/USD pair. These are similar assets, but investors perceive the token as a risky instrument. This can explain its high correlation with the Nasdaq Composite. By the way, this correlation decreased for a while as the US market grew, encouraged by rumors of a September pause in the Federal Reserve's rate hike cycle, while the BTC/USD pair has long recovered amid the panic caused by the stablecoin crash.

The reasons for the deterioration of the correlation were cited as the outflow of some major players from the cryptocurrency market, as well as the industry specifics of the exchange rate of the index of technology companies. However, the correlation soon recovered, allowing us to return to the topic of speculation about the future of Bitcoin considering the US stock market.

The latter has much to worry about, including a slowing US economy, aggressive tightening of the Fed's monetary policy, and worsening corporate reporting. Nevertheless, excessive pessimism can eventually turn to growth. The American Association of Individual Investors conducts a weekly survey showing what to expect from the market in the next 6 months. When bears outperform bulls by more than 30 pips, it can mean the worst times are over.

According to Bloomberg experts, the flagship cryptocurrency may reach a low point in the near future. However, DailyFX does not advise buying it until the price rises above $40,000.

On the daily chart, the BTC/USD pair began to implement the bearish pattern, which we discussed in the previous article. Nevertheless, bulls did not have enough strength to move the pair above the pivot level of $32,300. Currently, the blue pattern of the Widening Wedge may be formed. This requires the asset to hit a new low, the formation of the point 4 with the subsequent growth above $29,500, which will be the reason for opening long positions on Bitcoin.

XAU/USD。分析與預測

黃金今天維持著看跌的基調,儘管它已從日內低點略微回升,重新攀升至3300美元之上。 投資者依然寄望美中貿易戰有可能緩和的希望,這支撐了股票市場的正面情緒。

市場已無路可逃

當唐納德·特朗普和北京仍在試圖弄清楚美中貿易談判是否真正進行時,S&P 500 指數已連續第三天上升,這次得益於美聯儲的鴿派言論。FOMC 成員克里斯多夫·沃勒建議,關稅只會導致暫時的物價上升,美聯儲應該忽視這一點。

美元上漲——原因在此

有報導指出,中國政府正在考慮暫停對某些美國進口商品徵收的 125% 關稅後,美元對多種全球貨幣的匯率上升,美國股市也因此走強。此舉似乎是對特朗普總統近期評論的回應,他表示正在考慮降低對中國的部分貿易關稅。

為何黃金價格可能大幅下跌?(黃金價格可能會持續走低,而NASDAQ 100 指數期貨的差價合約可能上漲)

正式談判的開始可能導致近期金價大幅下跌。 在之前的文章中,我曾建議,由於北京和華盛頓之間就關稅問題展開的談判,之前飆升的金價可能會出現重大修正。
