In this episode, Nik breaks down whether Nvidia’s blockbuster earnings report can be the spark that turns momentum positive for Bitcoin as it tests the crucial $87,000 to $90,000 support. He walks through the money markets monitor, the TGA rollover, and how shifts in reserves, repo usage, and liquidity flows may have driven the recent drawdown across stocks and Bitcoin. Nik analyzes the Fed corridor, the standing repo facility, Treasury supply dynamics, bond volatility, and what growing correlations between Bitcoin and equities say about the path forward. He explains why the next few weeks hinge on liquidity, volatility, and whether the combined boost from Nvidia earnings and TGA spending can stabilize risk markets.

In this episode, Nik breaks down Bitcoin’s sharp fall through $100,000 and explains how a surge in volatility across stocks, bonds, and the dollar has triggered a broad liquidity drain. He explores the Luke Oil divestiture pressure, Treasury sanctions, and why forced asset sales are pulling capital out of risk markets. Nik walks through the TBL Liquidity Index, the new sell signal triggered in late October, and the critical $87,000 to $88,000 support area on Bitcoin that will define whether the bull trend stays intact. He compares Bitcoin with gold, reviews stock market stress, and looks ahead to income-driven liquidity tailwinds expected in 2026.

In this episode, Nik breaks down Bitcoin’s drop below $100,000, why key trend lines matter, and how TBL Liquidity flipped negative ahead of the move. He covers the failed $108,000 level, the critical support zones near $96.000 and $87,000, the rise in bond volatility, and tightness in the repo market as SOFR hits the ceiling. Nik also explains how the government reopening and TGA spend down may affect reserves, liquidity, and Bitcoin’s path from here.

In this episode, Nik and Demian break down the connection between credit creation, inflation, and productivity, exploring why the world’s debt keeps growing faster than real wealth. Nik explains how money enters the system, when it becomes inflationary, and how productivity can offset rising prices. They discuss McKinsey’s global balance sheet framework, the difference between paper wealth and real wealth, and how Bitcoin could serve as new collateral in a re-collateralized financial system built for long-term stability and growth.

In this episode, Nik and Demian unpack how the Fed’s fight to manage repo market tightness is reshaping liquidity and Bitcoin’s price behavior. They break down the balance between inflation, employment, and the Fed’s “unofficial” financial stability mandate, exploring how fiscal dominance and credit creation now drive global money flows more than monetary policy itself. Nik explains why Bitcoin acts as a liquidity asset, not a safe haven, and how the next cycle will be defined by the real economy, not Fed narratives.

In this episode, Nik breaks down a new wave of funding stress across the global liquidity system. He explains how the Treasury’s growing General Account is pulling cash from reserves, why repo spreads are flashing early warning signals, and how the dollar’s rebound is weighing on Bitcoin’s price below $108,000. With markets tightening and liquidity pressure mounting, Nik reveals what these signals mean for Bitcoin, risk assets, and the next phase of the global credit cycle.

In this episode, Nik Bhatia breaks down the latest global macro developments including new stress in the repo market, the Fed’s official plan to end QT on November 30, and what these moves mean for liquidity, risk assets, and Bitcoin. Nik explains how the SOFR-to-IORB spread, declining reserves, and Treasury bill issuance point toward tightening conditions that will soon force renewed balance sheet growth. He also covers how “not-QE QE” may unfold, why the dollar and Chinese yuan movements matter for global risk sentiment, and why Bitcoin remains in a consolidation phase as the liquidity cycle turns.

In this episode, Nik & Demian Schatt break down the Fed’s latest 25-basis-point rate cut, the announcement to end quantitative tightening, and what it reveals about the growing fiscal dominance shaping global markets. They unpack Joseph Wang’s concept of “Balance Sheet Dominance,” the mounting stress in repo markets, and why the Treasury’s massive bill issuance is now steering the Fed’s hand. The discussion connects these liquidity shifts to Bitcoin’s role in a system where monetary control is slipping, inflation remains sticky, and fiscal power is rewriting the rules of global finance.
