Sell Bitcoin

Summary The 9/29/22 article predicted the price of bitcoin would decline due to the weakness of the business cycle. The business cycle continued to deteriorate due to a sharp slowdown. Bitcoin declines when the business cycle slows down. THE BUSINESS CYCLE (The Peter Dag Portfolio Strategy and Management) The 9/29/22 article correctly predicted “ The tightening of the Fed and the inventory correction will force commodities and Bitcoin prices to continue to decline .” Let us see if monetary and economic conditions have changed enough to alter the downtrend of Bitcoin (BTC-USD). The business cycle is in Phase 4. This is the most treacherous phase for the economy, the financial markets, and investors. This is the time when all the excesses created in Phase 1 and Phase 2 are corrected. In 2022, for instance, the generous stimulus programs and the Fed’s aggressive injection of liquidity were followed by record breaking growth of the economy. M2 and GDP (FRED, The Peter Dag Portfolio Strategy and Management ) The money supply M2 soared 26.9% y/y and real GDP responded with a lag of several months with an unsustainable growth of 12.5% y/y (see above chart). Commodities responded promptly to the strengthening economy. Copper and crude oil soared in response to the extreme demand caused by government and Fed stimulus programs. CPI (The Peter Dag Portfolio Strategy and Management, FRED) Inflation quickly rose because of the stronger economy and sharply higher commodities (see above chart). As inflation started to impact real income, consumers’ sentiment collapsed. This was the signal the business cycle entered in Phase 3. This trend was further reinforced by a sharp slowdown in M2 (see first chart) and flattening of the yield curve (10s/2s). Business, however, continued to increase production responding to the sharp increase in demand following the lockdown. Inventories were accumulated at a double-digit pace when real inventory growth has historically been expanding in the 3%-6% range. Production is now slowing down as companies need to reduce the huge inventory levels. The business cycle is now in Phase 4. As mentioned above, this is the phase when all the excesses must be brought under control to reestablish consumers’ purchasing power. Inventories must be liquidated. This is achieved by reducing production and lowering prices. Raw material purchases are reduced, placing down pressure on commodities. Borrowing is curtailed as programs to improve or increase capacity are delayed with the immediate effect of facilitating lower interest rates. Phase 1 will begin when M2 starts rising again, the yield curve steepens, and interest rates and inflation decline in a major way, enough to lift consumers’ optimism. Bitcoin and Copper (The Peter Dag Portfolio Strategy and Management, StockCharts) Bitcoin, like commodities, responds to trends of the business cycle and liquidity. The above chart shows the main turning points of Bitcoin correspond to the same turning points of copper, one of the most sensitive commodities to business cycle trends. Bitcoin and Crude oil (The peter Dag Portfolio Strategy and Management, StockCharts) Bitcoin has also the same turning points of crude oil and of most other commodities (see above chart). The reason is commodities respond to changes in liquidity and business cycle trends. Commodities rise when the business cycle points to a strengthening economy. Commodities decline when the business cycle reflects a weakening economy. Key takeaways The sharp decline of the growth of M2 and the deep inversion of the yield curve point to much weaker economic conditions ahead. The business cycle is declining and is currently in Phase 4. The price of Bitcoin will decline and bottom when the business cycle moves into Phase 1. This is the time when most other commodities are also rising. This analysis suggests Bitcoin price behavior depends on the vagaries of a central bank monetary policy and changes of the business cycle. The reason is its price is affected by changes in the liquidity created by the banking system.

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried: 'I never tried to commit fraud'

"I made a lot of mistakes, but I never tried to commit fraud," Sam Bankman-Fried, founder and ex-CEO of the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX, said Wednesday at the New York Times Dealbook conference. His remarks come despite reports that FTX loaned out over half of its customer funds (some $10B) to Alameda Research, an FTX-affiliated trading firm, in an attempt to fund risky bets. "I wasn't trying to commingle funds," Bankman-Fried said, even though Bloomberg reported earlier this week that some FTX customers were told to send wire transfers through Alameda, highlighting their tangled relationship despite the fact that FTX and Alameda were entirely separate businesses. FTX and Alameda, which owned a ton of FTX Token ( FTT-USD ), the crypto issued by FTX, were "substantially more" connected than intended, SBF said, while noting his "massive failure of risk management and oversight." He touched on his poor internal labeling of bank-related accounts, saying the FTT and solana ( SOL-USD ) used as collateral was not marked "the way I wish I had from a risk perspective." Starting on November 6, when Binance tweeted that it will sell its position in FTX Token ( FTT-USD ), SBF knew there was a problem about the potential for "substantial losses for Alameda. I didn’t think it was going to be a massive loss for FTX customers, more like Alameda is going to be really tight on funds. FTX and its more than 130 affiliates filed for bankruptcy on November 11 after the discovery of a multi-billion dollar balance sheet shortfall that triggered massive customer outflows. When asked whether he's concerned about criminal liability, SBF responded, "I don't personally think I have... it's not what I'm focusing on. There will be a time and a place for me to think about myself and my future but this isn't it." 5:50 p.m. ET: SBF's political donations "were mostly for pandemic prevention, on both sides of the aisle," SBF said. This is a developing story. Check back for updates. In FTX's first court hearing on November 22, a counsel to FTX said SBF treated his trading platform as his own "personal fiefdom."

Why did bitcoin and ethereum jump today? Potential for slower rate hikes in December

Major cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) and ethereum ( ETH-USD ) along with crypto-linked stocks have turned higher after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signaled the pace of interest-rate increases could slow down as soon as next month . After spending much of the past month below $17K after the collapse of crypto exchange FTX, bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) bounced 3.6% to $17.04K at 4:17 p.m. ET, as market participants cheered JPow's remarks. Ether ( ETH-USD ) climbed 5.7% to $1.29K at the time of writing. While the Fed chief indicated that the U.S. central bank may moderate the pace of its rate hikes starting at the December 13-14 gathering, he also emphasized the "ultimate level of rates will need to be somewhat higher than thought at the time of the September meeting" with inflation still well above its target. In other words, the inflation fight is yet to end hence no Fed pivot on the horizon. The Fed has lifted its benchmark rate by 75 basis points at each of its last four meetings. But for the December meeting, traders have been ratcheting up their bets for a 50-bp hike as Fed officials suggested over the past month or so a likely downshift in the pace of rate increases. As such, traders hedged for a 77.0% chance for a 50-bp move versus 66.3% in the prior day, according to CME's FedWatch tool . That would take the federal funds rate target range to 4.25%-4.50%, compared with policymaker's September projection of a 4.6% terminal rate in 2023. Crypto-related stocks, which are seen as high-beta versions of digital tokens, traded in a sea of green: MicroStrategy ( MSTR ) +8% , Galaxy Digital ( OTCPK:BRPHF ) +10% , Bit Digital ( BTBT ) +8.1% , Coinbase Global ( COIN ) +5.8% , Riot Blockchain ( RIOT ) +9.3% and Marathon Digital ( MARA ) +6.3% . In addition, the stock market rallied hard , with all three major U.S. stock indices climbing at least 2% despite a deeply inverted yield curve that's calling for an economic downturn. While the crypto ecosystem continues to feel the burn from the multi-billion dollar collapse of crypto exchange FTX, Brazil approved a bill to legalize crypto payments .
