We’ve talked at length about the correlations between macro markets and Bitcoin.
A critical element underlying our crypto thesis is heavily driven by how price action is trading alongside equity markets.

As much as it is unlike the crypto crowd to be watching slow-moving macro markets like the foreign exchange, the dollar will provide some big clues for recovery out of this sell-down.
If this breakout in the US dollar fails, we have a serious tailwind behind the backs of risk assets, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies included.

Even if you’re only in the business of slinging cryptocurrencies, be sure to watch the DXY in these coming weeks.
