Bitcoin Marketcap v Federal reserve M1A nod to @unbeldi And a updated chart Swapping the Bitcoin price to marketcap over the M1 money As BTC is a Trillion dollar asset again and was invented to be peer to peer cash It's good to compare the ratio vs the dollar. And imagine one day in the future that it may dethrone the King. Since BTC is natively digital and global (M2 is slightly larger number and the more commonly used metric @ 20.86 Trillion) The number of coins I used for the 100k & 400k price projections was 19,791,006 If you wanted to check my maths This is the current and supply and the estimate of number of coins in 10 months time.

EUR/USD climbs after US GDP, eurozone CPI nextThe euro has in positive territory on Thursday. EUR/USD is trading at 1.0840 in the North American session, up 0.37% on the day. The week wraps up with eurozone inflation on Friday. The market estimate for May stands at 2.5% y/y/, compared to 2.4% in April. The core inflation rate is expected to tick higher to 2.8% y/y, up from 2.7% in April. In Germany, the largest economy in the eurozone, inflation accelerated to 2.4% y/y in May, following a 2.2% gain in each of the past two months. This was the first time in five months that Germany’s inflation rate increased. On a monthly basis, inflation fell to 0.1%, a sharp drop from the 0.5% gain in April. The timing of the eurozone CPI release is significant, as it comes shortly before the European Central Bank rate meeting on June 6th. The ECB has strongly hinted that it will lower rates at the meeting and it would be a nasty surprise for the markets if the ECB changes its mind. With inflation under 3% and the eurozone grappling with sluggish economic activity, the conditions seems right for a rate cut. The ECB’s rate-tightening cycle has done a good job slashing inflation, and lower rates would provide some relief to households which are struggling with elevated rates and the high cost of living. In the US, second-estimate GDP was revised downwards to 1.3% y/y. This was below the 1.6% in the first estimate but higher than the market estimate of 1.2% and much weaker than the 3.4% gain in the fourth quarter of 2023. The drop in GDP was mainly attributable to weaker consumer spending, as consumers are yet to see any relief from the Fed’s high benchmark rate target of 5.25% to 5.50%. The Fed is concerned about stubbornly high inflation and FOMC members have been constantly pouring cold water on rate-cut expectations. The Fed has shown it can be patient and if the inflation picture doesn’t improve, it is conceivable that the Fed won’t lower rates before 2025. EUR/USD pushed past resistance at 1.0806 and is testing resistance at 1.0845 1.0765 and 1.0726 are the next support levels

AUD/USD rises after retail sales tick higherThe Australian dollar has edged higher on Tuesday. AUD/USD is trading at 0.6667, up 0.25% on the day at the time of writing. Australia’s retail sales rise 0.1%, CPI next Australian consumers remain frugal and cautious, as retail sales rose just 0.1% m/m April. This was a rebound from the 0.4% decline in March and beat the market estimate of 0.2%. On a yearly basis, retail sales rose 1.3%, compared to 0.9% in March. Retail activity has been flat and that could prod the Reserve Bank of Australia to lower interest rates later this year. The RBA has held the cash rate at 4.35% for four straight times and the markets are anticipating that the next move will be a cut. However, the RBA has sounded hawkish and the RBA minutes of the May 7th meeting indicated that policy makers discussed a rate hike at the May 7th meeting. This was due to concerns that inflation, particularly services prices has been stickier than expected and that the path to the RBA’s 2-3% target will not be smooth. Australia releases April CPI early on Wednesday, which is expected to tick lower to 3.4% y/y, down from 3.5% in March. Fed members continue to send out a hawkish message about rate policy. Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said on Tuesday that he would want to see “many more months of positive inflation data” before the Fed lowers rates, adding that a rate hike should not be ruled out. Kashakri said earlier this month that rates need to stay in restrictive territory for “an extended period”. The markets are more dovish and have priced in a rate cut at 52%, according to the CME’s FedWatch. AUD/USD Technical 0.6643 is a weak support level. Below, there is support at 0.6578 0.6695 and 0.6760 are the next resistance lines

EURUSD Goes for Profitable Month but Monetary Policy UnfavorableThe pair made a strong start to the final week of May, heading towards its first profitable month of the year. This gives it the chance to push for 1.0981, but we are cautious around further gains, as the monetary policy differential is unfavorable. As such, we can see renewed pressure towards the EMA200 (black line) and daily closes would reinstate the bearish bias, but there are multiple roadblock below it. Markets now brace for Friday’s US PCE and Eurozone’s preliminary CPI inflation updates that can shape rate expectations and determine the pair's next move. The European Central Bank looks ready to become the first major institution to pivot and cut rates at next week’s meeting and Monday’s commentary from at least two officials pointed to such action. The path beyond is far from guaranteed though, as policymakers have generally warned against back-to back moves. The US Fed on the other hand has adopted a higher-for-longer narrative, since the disinflation process has slowed this year, while the labor market is robust and the economy strong. There is volatility around the rate path expectations, but markets currently see only one cut as the most likely outcome and have pushed back its timing to November.

Which Fed speaker moves the market the most? We have another eventful week ahead with numerous Federal Reserve officials scheduled to speak publicly. Anecdotally, I seem to recall Mester and Kashkari are two of the most impactful speakers, and this week provides an excellent opportunity to see if this holds true. Kashkari recently left The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), so his impact might be lessened these days though. Here is the lineup of Fed speakers for the week, in order of appearance: Tuesday: Loretta J. Mester Neel Kashkari Lisa D. Cook Wednesday: John C. Williams Dr. Raphael W. Bostic Thursday: John C. Williams (second appearance) Lorie K. Logan Friday: Dr. Raphael W. Bostic (second appearance) Their speeches might offer valuable insights into the Fed's future actions and the overall economic outlook. It seems that these speeches can occasionally be more impactful than major Fed decision days. It's almost as if the market perceives these talks as a glimpse behind the curtain, potentially providing an insider perspective that may be less tightly controlled than those of Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

Kiwi Upside Bias Strengthened after Hawkish RBNZThe Reserve Bank of New Zealand delivered a hawkish hold on Wednesday, as it raised the OCR forecast to 5.7%, leaving room for further tightening. Policymakers believe that longer restriction may be needed to achieve the 1-3% inflation target and also upgraded their forecast, expecting CPI to fall less and slower than previously thought. The US Fed meanwhile has adopted a cautious stance towards removing monetary restraint, due to stubborn inflation this year, strong economy and robust labor market. The central bank is still widely expected to lower rates this year though. Most commentary - including from Chair Powell - has dismissed prospects of rate hikes, pointing to the need that sustained restrictive stance to control inflation. The monetary policy differential favors the Kiwi, since RBNZ has kept more tightening in play, whereas its US counterpart has hinted to cuts. NZD/USD is on the driver’s seat with the ability to tackle 0.6219, although news 2024 highs, but further gains towards 0.6412 have higher degree of difficulty. On the other hand, the Fed’s apprehension provides support to the greenback and this can create pressure back toward the EMA200 (black line). Daily closes below it would pause the upside bias, but sustained weakness below it does not look easy – fundamentally and technically as the daily Ichimoku looms.

NZD/USD steady ahead of RBNZ rate announcementThe New Zealand dollar is almost unchanged on Tuesday. NZD/USD is down 0.06%, trading at 0.6102 in the European session at the time of writing. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand has shown it can be patient, having held the cash rate at 4.35% for six straight times. The central bank is expected to maintain rates yet again at Wednesday’s meeting as inflation has remained stubbornly high. Inflation has been moving lower and fell to 4% in the first quarter, down from 4.7% in the fourth quarter of 2023. However, this remains double the midpoint of the 1-3% target range and is too high for the RBNZ to start trimming rates in the near-term. At the same time, economic data for the first quarter was soft which should result in disinflation. The unemployment rate rose to 4.3% in the first quarter, private wage growth decelerated and GDP contracted by 0.1% q/q. The RBNZ had its mandate limited to inflation in December; previously, the central bank was mandated to maintain low inflation and full employment. Still, the strength of the labor market and wage growth will be eyed by the central bank as it determines its rate policy. The Federal Reserve continues to sound hawkish about rate policy and remains cautious about rate cuts. On Monday, Fed Vice Chair Philip Jefferson said that it was too early to tell if the downtrend in inflation would be “long lasting”. Fed Vice Chair of Supervision Michael Barr said that first-quarter inflation data was disappointing and was not supportive of easing monetary policy. For a second straight day, there are no US economic releases and we’ll hear from a host of FOMC members, which could provide insights about the Fed’s rate policy plans. NZD/USD is tested support at 0.6089 earlier . Below, there is support at 0.6039 0.6185 and 0.6235 are the next resistance lines

Gold maintains upward bias on Iran and Fed speak? Gold maintains upward bias on Iran and Fed speak? Gold surged at the beginning of the week due to escalating geopolitical tensions, reaching a new all-time high of $2,450. However, it has since retreated slightly but perhaps maintains an upward bias. The rise in gold prices could have been fueled by news of the deaths of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian in a helicopter crash. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin stated that he did not foresee any broader impact on regional security. Although, according to Sky News there are concerns that groups within Iran, including an offshoot of Islamic State, might attempt to exploit the situation. Mohammad Mokhber has been declared Iran's interim president. Despite the initial surge, improving market sentiment caused XAU/USD to erase most of its daily gains, but it remains above $2,400. Further downside could see key support levels come into play like Friday’s low of $2,374 and the 21-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $2,340. If geopolitical concerns intensify, gold could rise further, with $2,500 serving as a psychological resistance level. Technically, gold is moving away from overbought conditions, which could attract buyers and support further gains. Elsewhere, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic reiterated that his forecast for the Fed’s interest-rate policy remains unchanged, expecting one rate cut in the October-December quarter. Vice Chair Michael Barr echoed this sentiment, stating that the Fed should maintain steady interest rates, citing disappointing CPI data from Q1 as a reason for caution.

Is gold or silver the trade to make this week? This week's trade could be a decision between gold and silver. The former might be swayed by the seven fed officials that are planned to speak this week, while the latter could be influenced by the #SilverSqueeze movement that is tangentially related to the meme stock frenzy that reignited last week. Gold Technical Gold (XAU/USD) prices rose at the end of the week but did not quite test the all-time high around $2,431. Gold is trading well above the 20 Simple Moving Average (SMA), with the 100 and 200 SMAs maintaining bullish slopes much below it. Renewed buying pressure beyond $2,413 might push prices above the $2,420 mark. Silver Technical Silver (XAG/USD) is nearing the multi-year high at $31.40. A significant break at the end of the week saw Friday's sharp rise validate the break above the multi-year trendline. The challenge for the coming week is whether silver can maintain this bullish momentum despite entering overbought territory. The frenzy we saw in meme stocks might be dampening down too, with 2 days of declines following the surge. But it might be premature to count anything out yet. The 14-period Relative Strength Index (RSI) is in the range of 70.00, possibly suggesting bullish momentum. The next resistance level is $31.50 from May 2011. In this fundamentally detached market, the next support could lie all the way back at where the metal was trading before the surge.

Gold Expected To Rise Due To Lower Inflation NumbersHere is why we think gold prices will go up (FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS) Lower Core Inflation Numbers and Potential Fed Rate Cuts: The recent core inflation report came in weaker than expected, signaling a sluggish economy in the United States. This unexpected weakness has raised speculation that the Federal Reserve may consider cutting interest rates to stimulate economic growth. Impact of Weak Core Prices: Weak core prices provide the Federal Reserve with greater rationale to implement interest rate cuts. Lower interest rates typically weaken the dollar as they make dollar-denominated assets less attractive relative to other currencies. Consequently, a weakened dollar often leads to upward pressure on gold prices. Potential Fed Policy Response: In response to concerns over weak core prices, the Federal Reserve may contemplate lowering interest rates to stimulate economic activity. By reducing borrowing costs, lower interest rates can encourage consumer spending and investment, thereby bolstering economic growth. However, this policy action tends to weaken the dollar, which can benefit gold prices. Gold as a Safe-Haven Asset: Gold is often viewed as a safe haven asset during times of economic uncertainty and inflation. The prospect of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve can further enhance gold's appeal, as lower interest rates typically diminish the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold and signal a upcoming recession. Here is what to watch out for that might stop it from going up: Market Response and Federal Reserve Policy Decisions: Market participants should closely monitor any signals or announcements from the Federal Reserve regarding interest rate decisions, as they can significantly influence investor sentiment and, consequently, gold prices. For example if inflation rises, it becomes more likely for the Federal Reserve to not cut rates, well expect gold prices to plummet. Economic Indicators and Geopolitical Developments: It's important to stay attuned to key economic indicators, central bank policies, and geopolitical developments that could impact gold markets. Any shifts in these factors could alter the trajectory of gold prices. (TECHNICAL ANALYSIS) Trade setup explained: Take-Profit: is set at 2426 due to a strong area there ( see green line ) Stop-Loss: is set at 2338 which is right under 2344, 2344 has been showing stronger support. Conclusion: The prospect of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, driven by concerns over weak core prices, has contributed to upward pressure on gold prices. As lower interest rates tend to weaken the dollar, gold becomes more attractive as a safe-haven asset, thus supporting its price. However, market participants should remain vigilant and adapt their strategies in response to evolving economic conditions and policy decisions. Like always use proper risk-management.

Euro edges lower despite positive inflation reportThe euro has posted slight losses on Friday. EUR/USD is down 0.28%, trading at 1.0837 in the North American session at the time of writing. The April inflation report showed that headline inflation remained steady at 2.4% y/y, holding at its lowest level in almost three years. Services inflation and energy prices declined, while food, alcohol and tobacco prices were slightly higher. Monthly, headline CPI eased to 0.6%, down from 0.8% in March and matching the market estimate. The most significant news was the decline in core CPI, which excludes energy and food, alcohol and tobacco and is a more accurate indicator of inflation trends. The core rate fell to 2.7% y/y, down from 2.9% in March and matching the market estimate. Core CPI has now decelerated nine straight times and has dropped to its lowest level since February 2022. The European Commission announced earlier in the week that eurozone inflation is expected to drop to 2.5% in 2024 and fall to the 2% target in the second half of 2025. The European Central Bank has done a good job slashing inflation, which was running at 7% a year ago. The ECB has signaled that it is ready to shift policy and lower rates at the June meeting. ECB President Lagarde has widely hinted at a June cut but has remained mum about what happens after that. Lagarde doesn’t want to raise expectations of a series of rate cuts and then disappoint the markets if the ECB doesn’t follow through. There are no key economic releases out of the US today, leaving FedSpeak as the highlight of the day. Three voting members of the FOMC, Christopher Waller, Mary Daly and Adriana Kugler will deliver speeches which could provide some insights into future US rate policy. FOMC members have sounded rather hawkish, saying that restrictive policy is working and there is no rush to lower rates. EUR/USD is testing support at 1.0850 and is putting pressure on support at 1.0832 There is resistance at 1.0872 and 1.0890
