Weekly Market Wrap: FTX Crash, Lower Inflation, Fed Pivot?

Weekly AMA on Instagram - Ask me anything about trading & investing, stock picks, market analysis, etc!

This week was a crazy week, which saw the collapse of FTX, one of the largest crypto brokerages.

This will likely have more domino-effect impact on various crypto markets in the weeks to come, and not in a good way.

On the plus side, the recent CPI data shows a slowing of inflation, which caused stock markets to spike and the USD to plunge.

Is this sufficient for a Fed pivot (or at least a slow in rate hikes), which could hint at a market bottom?

Find out in my “weekly market outlook” video tomorrow, which I will post in my Daily Trading Signals private Telegram channel!

Compared to a month ago, the expected peak interest rate has gone up, but the duration to the peak has shifted from 2.5yrs to 1yr.

This suggests they are expecting the Fed to aggressively hike so the peak can be reached faster, but the peak keeps getting higher.

 

Crypto Market Highlights

Bitcoin (BTCUSD) and Ethereum (ETHUSD) having huge selldowns after the FTX fiasco.

There is likely a lot more selling/iquidations/margin calls coming up, so it is better not to try and catch the falling knife at this point.
