Episode notes
Copper and Bitcoin Correlation
- Bitcoin's price often loosely follows copper's price as a leading indicator of risk assets.
- However, copper's recent price increase may be due to fears of tariffs, making it less reliable as an indicator.
US vs. London Copper
- US copper is trading at a premium over London copper, largely due to tariff fears.
- This makes US copper prices less reliable as an economic indicator.
Crypto Market Indicators
- Dogecoin's market cap mirrors Bitcoin's price movements, suggesting a correlation.
- However, other indicators, like a rolling 200-day moving average of the Bloomberg Galaxy Crypto Index, suggest a potential downturn.
