Conflicting US Economic Signals - FedWatch 126
Hosts: Ansel Lindner and Christian Keroles
Fed Watch is a macro podcast like no other, with a clear contrarian thesis of a deflationary financial system’s breakdown leading to bitcoin adoption. We question narratives and schools of thought, trying to form our own understanding. Each episode we use current events to question mainstream and bitcoin narratives across the globe, with an emphasis on central banks and currencies.
In this episode, CK and I break down the current price chart of bitcoin along with some fascinating points about bitcoin volatility. We have open and honest discussion about the price that you can trust, because this show isn’t about shilling bitcoin, it is about understanding the macro environment which bitcoin finds itself in and how bitcoin is reacting to that environment.
Next, we cover the US manufacturing ISM data. For the second straight month in a row, US manufacturing has contracted. This was also the ninth straight month of falling numbers. They happened to stay positive until November, but now we have those two months of negative prints.
We also tackle one of the jobs reports this week, the ADP. ADP measures payrolls not employees, which is an important nuance to consider. It increased in December by 223,000 jobs! This is a mixed signal, we have falling manufacturing but rising payrolls.
Another conflicting signal we cover this week is the crashing US trade deficit. At first glance, if the trade deficit crashes, one would think that is a positive and means increased activity in the US. However, the reason for the crash is that imports crashed more than exports. Both were negative moves, but the net sum is a crashing deficit, which is a horribly bearish indicator that doesn’t match with the jobs reports.
The last thing we discuss on the day is ECB’s latest blog post by Panetta where he trashes “crypto” and lumps bitcoin in with all the garbage. The interesting part of the blog post is when he calls for “a risk-free and dependable digital settlement asset”, which is what bitcoin exactly is. Of course, he finishes that sentence by calling for a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). What a joke.

2022 Year in Review - FedWatch 125
Fed Watch is a macro podcast like no other, with a clear contrarian thesis of a deflationary financial system’s breakdown leading to bitcoin adoption. We question narratives and schools of thought, trying to form our own understanding. Each episode we use current events to question mainstream and bitcoin narratives across the globe, with an emphasis on central banks and currencies.
In this episode, CK and I go on a wide ride through 2022 in a Year in Review episode. We spend the first half of the show talking about bitcoin’s major events of the year and how it affected price.
The second half of the show is dedicated to central banks actions this year. We watch an amazing video from Lagarde from July of this year, when she was grilled on how she will bring down the European Central Bank’s (ECB) balance sheet. Her response was, “it will come.” What a great example of central bank incompetence. We cover what the Federal Reserve has done this year, and briefly talk about the other central banks.
Lastly, we go through several macro charts, starting with the dollar, then oil and other commodities, the Consumer Price Index (CPI), and finally, we end on US Treasury yields. We examine how these numbers have moved throughout the year, and what they tell us about what may lie ahead.

Fed Watch is a macro podcast like no other, with a clear contrarian thesis of a deflationary financial system’s breakdown leading to bitcoin adoption. We question narratives and schools of thought, trying to form our own understanding. Each episode we use current events to question mainstream and bitcoin narratives across the globe, with an emphasis on central banks and currencies.
In this episode, CK and I dive deep into yield curve control (YCC), after a discussion of bitcoin and other macro charts like the dollar and US Treasury yields. What is YCC, what are its aims, has it been successful, can it ever be successful? Of course, we look at this both from a general perspective but also specifically in the case of Japan, since the big news this week was the Bank of Japan (BOJ) relaxed their YCC band from +/- 0.25% to +/- 0.5%.
Our last topic of the day is the 2nd and final revision to US Q3 real GDP. It increased from the original estimate of 2.9% to 3.2% annualized. This is fairly big news, because so many people are utterly convinced the US is about to experience a horrible and deep recession in 2023. The main influences in Q3 and likely in Q4, have been a plunging nominal GDP and plunging price effects. Therefore, it becomes a race of which falls faster, GDP or “inflation” as to whether the real GDP will be negative or positive.
