“I spent a very long time taking a look at positioning within the greenback and the DXY [US Dollar Index]. We all know… it’s very excessive. I feel it’s mid-Eighties excessive. There’s sure different valuation metrics you’ll be able to take a look at. You’ll be able to take a look at sentiment or CFTC [Commodity Futures Trading Commission] futures positioning and that’s elevating, highlighting fairly elevated lengthy place for the greenback.

If you happen to take a look at one thing known as buying energy parity [PPP], that’s the very best it’s been since 1985…

So we all know the greenback could be very overvalued. So when the Fed does pivot, the trade-weighted greenback might actually flip fairly shortly and fairly sharply, and that might be fairly supportive for one thing like Bitcoin.”

You may need to attend three to 6 months for a measurable value improve, however there aren’t that many alternatives that come alongside when Bitcoin is on sale like it’s proper now.”
