Bitcoin rebounds toward $67K as spot ETFs post a massive $257M inflow, Stripe eyes a landmark $159B acquisition of PayPal, and the Atlanta Fed maintains a robust 3.1% Q1 growth projection.
Note about format:
To make this podcast as informative as possible, I am going to discuss three different macroeconomic metrics or ratios each day, with a theme dedicated to each day of the week as follows:
Mondays: Debt & Financial Conditions Day.
Theme: Liquidity & Stress
Reason: Why Monday? It frames systemic risk before the trading week develops.
Tuesdays: Inflation & Real Rates Day.
Theme: Purchasing Power & Discount Rates
Reason: Crypto is highly sensitive to real yields. When real yields rise, risk assets struggle.
Wednesdays: Growth & Activity Day.
Theme: Is the Economy Accelerating or Decelerating?
Reason: Crypto behaves differently in: Early expansion Late expansion Contraction Growth context prevents narrative mistakes.
Thursdays: Liquidity & Fed Day.
Theme: Monetary Flow
Reason: Crypto trades like a liquidity asset. Balance sheet contraction matters more than GDP in many cases.
Fridays: Global & Dollar Day.
Theme: External Flows
Reason: Strong dollar regimes historically pressure crypto.
I hope it adds value for listeners.
Enjoy!
