Bitcoin Isn’t Decoupling From Stocks Yet, This Chart Shows Why
Bitcoin may no longer be moving in lockstep with the S&P 500 over a short time frame, but that does not mean it has escaped the broader risk-off regime. In Axel Adler Jr.’s latest morning brief, the more important signal is not the breakdown in short-term correlation, but Bitcoin’s continued relative weakness against US equities.

The first is the…

Jordi Visser Says Bitcoin Was Built For This New Fed Crisis
Macro investor Jordi Visser is arguing that Bitcoin’s original purpose is coming back into focus as the Federal Reserve faces a new macro trap shaped by debt, oil, slowing growth and weakening employment. In a note published March 30 under the banner “D.O.G.E. 2.0,” Visser says that mix could leave policymakers unable to impose the kind of economic pain a traditional inflation fight would require. His framework repurposes the acronym into four pressures: debt as the structural constraint, oil as the inflation shock, growth as the casualty of tighter conditions,…
