If US CPI [inflation data] is available in “scorching” [on Thursday] at 7% or 8%, anticipate TradFi markets to puke into the weekend. Crypto will take one other stab decrease, and it’s attainable for a capitulation candle over the weekend when fiat rails are closed.
Crypto OG diamond fingers are ready for decrease ranges and can step in to additional enhance their stacks.
Bitcoin (BTC) = $10,000 – $15,000Ethereum (ETH) = $750 – $1,000Solana (SOL) = $3
Assume that till confirmed in any other case all counterparties have or had publicity to certainly one of SBF’s enterprises. Which means in the event you don’t consider they’re being sincere about their losses as a consequence of phrase salad statements that don’t really say a lot. GTFO!”
Hayes is trying to the Federal Reserve to cut back rates of interest subsequent 12 months, paving the way in which for the following crypto upturn.
“I’ve been buying and selling crypto for longer than I’ve been buying and selling TradFi, and I’m nonetheless speechless about what goes down.
The sooner we take our losses, the sooner we backside and set ourselves up for the Fed pivot which can occur someday in 2023. The worst can be for zombies to nonetheless be amongst us when yield curve management begins in earnest.
So lengthy for now however chin up, the band continues to be taking part in, and there may be cash to be made in each instructions.”
