Wall Street is Helping Drive Bitcoin

One of my favorite investors in the traditional markets is Howard Marks from Oaktree capital, he always manages to put things into perspective. 


In a recent memo to investors called growing the pie, Marks goes into great detail of everything that he believes is going wrong in US politics at the moment and how it’s influencing the markets.

What struck me, was that in the entire eight pages of brilliance and laying out all of the major risks, the words ‘tariff’ and ‘trade’ do not even appear. To me, this is a clear sign that what ails the United States at the moment is deep beneath the headlines.

Indeed, for me anyway, global politics is becoming less of a concern by the day. In a recent poll from Goldman Sachs, 48% of respondents said that Brexit was their biggest focus in April.

Given my limited knowledge of Brexit however, as a macro investor, I’m actually trying to limit focus on it wherever possible. Yes, the headlines and deadlines are important, but unless they start moving the markets in a meaningful way I don’t see much point in making it my main focus.

By the way, my answer was ‘J’. What drives the markets at the end of the day are profits. If companies are or are not making profits the markets will respond to that, and so will answers A, B, C, D, E, F, I, K, and L.

Today’s Highlights

Jobs Day in USA

Wall Street Driving Bitcoin

XRP gets a Win

Please note: All data, figures & graphs are valid as of April 5th. All trading carries risk. Only risk capital you can afford to lose.

Traditional Markets

As you probably know, the US jobs report known as NFP is the most anticipated report that comes out every month. It’s been known to move every asset from currencies, to commodities, and of course stocks. Given Wall Street’s increasing participation in the crypto market lately, I wouldn’t be surprised if Bitcoin moves from it today as well.

Crypto Sidetrack

Here we can see the volumes on CME’s bitcoin futures product, which reached 22,542 contracts yesterday, which is about $563 million.

According to Messari, the top 10 real exchanges traded about $685 million over the last 24 hours. So even though the CME’s contracts are cash settled and no Bitcoin is actually changing hands, Wall Street needs to be seen as a significant part of the market now.

Back to NFP

Analysts are forecasting that when the data is released it will show that the United States has added more than 170,000 jobs in the month of March.

You can check the results as they come out on sites like forexfactory.com or fxstreet’s economic calendar, or of course by following financial people/news on social media.

They are also forecasting an average salary bump of 0.3% and the unemployment rate to stay flat at 3.8%.

For monitoring the impact of the results, consider this type of setup so you can keep an eye on all markets at once.

XRP has its Day

Since altseason began, many clients have been asking me about the lack of participation from XRP. Indeed, even though many altcoins had a turn to pump over the last few weeks, Ripple had been feeling kind of left out.

Well, that seems to have changed this morning as XRP (blue line) has outperformed during the morning’s Asian session ramp.

Way to go!! Glad to see some double-digit gains there.

If you’re looking for something to watch over the weekend. Feel free to tune in to bloxlive.tv who are covering what looks like a very exciting bitcoin conference in Malta called Understanding BTC.

Kicking off the event, three of the biggest names in crypto – Adam Back, Tone Vays and Giacomo Zucco – joined my favorite crypto anchor Jessica Walker for an excellent panel discussion. Watch it here.

Spoiler alert. Tone Vays is still bearish, while Adam and Giacomo are taking a more long term outlook.

The way I see though, Tuesday’s action really wiped the slate clean. Order books across exchanges that had been building up for weeks are now clear. The only thing left to drive the price is sentiment. So you decide!

Have a fantastic weekend!!

Best regards,
