US Dollar Debasement Accelerates with Biden Bailout / Currencies / US Dollar
By: MoneyMetals
As Washington prepares to pump another $1.9 trillion in stimulus into the economy, asset prices are lifting. From food to housing to equities to precious metals, inflationary pressures are being felt in all markets this week.
Investors can thank politicians and their enablers at the Federal Reserve. On Thursday, President Joe Biden signed the massive $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package into law.
Direct payments of $1,400 will soon be hitting Americans bank accounts. And hundreds of billions of dollars will be deployed to bail out state and local governments. Of course, funding for various other programs unrelated to COVID losses was inserted into the legislation as well. As well as a remarkable federal ban on states enacting net tax cuts.

Bitcoin: Speculative Investment or Value Asset? / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Boris_Dzhingarov
Bitcoin joined the trillion-dollar market club on February 19, 2021, as the price of the cryptocurrency crossed the $56,000 mark. The world’s most popular cryptocurrency soared 1,000% over the past year, after struggling to break out of the $15,000 level throughout 2019, and the better part of 2020.
The rising prices of bitcoins have launched several discussions regarding the efficacy and sustainability of cryptocurrencies and Bitcoins in particular, as the deregulated currency is associated with a copious number of risks. There are a number of bitcoin margin trading exchanges as well that are providing leverage to users given the rising popularity of digital currencies.

New Global Reserve Currency? / Currencies / Fiat Currency
By: Raymond_Matison
Politicians and investors regularly claim that “this time it’s different”. But history shows us repeatedly that rarely things are truly or fundamentally different. The power of the Roman Empire two thousand years ago was established by military means. Over time, its government undermined that empire by continuing military campaigns and lavish spending. This ultimately required that their money, the silver Denarius coin, be diluted with other metals which brought its purchasing value down. This in turn reduced people’s trust in the empire’s money and eventually brought the empire into decline. Since then, this history has been repeated many times – only the name of the country and its currency have changed. It is a lesson which neither kings nor politicians have been willing or able to learn – to this day. And this time it is not different.
Starting in the 15th century, Portugal, geographically bounded by the Atlantic Ocean rapidly developed shipbuilding and maritime exploration. Discovering new lands (Brazil) and routes for the spice trade (India) and other commodities (Africa), and by expanding military incursions into Asia, their empire flourished as one of the world’s major economic, military, and political powers. When its king died in battle in Morocco, King Phillip of Spain seized the Portuguese crown, and Portugal was subject to military adventures from the Netherlands, France, and England – who were hostile competitors to Spain. Unable to protect its lands and vast global network of trading posts, its empire started a long and gradual decline.

US Fed Grilled about Its Unsound Currency, Digital Currency Schemes / Currencies / BlockChain
By: MoneyMetals
As financial markets gyrated this week, Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell touted the U.S. dollar as a form of “sound money.” More on that incredible take in a moment.
But first, let’s review this week’s market action.
Inflation fears helped drive another spike in long-term bond yields, and by Thursday that began to spook Wall Street. The Treasury market is now off to one of its roughest starts to a year on record. As a result, calls are mounting for the Fed to up its bond purchases.
A steepening yield curve is helping to depress precious metals prices. Rising real interest rates tend to be negative for the gold market.

Bitcoin: Let's Put 2 Heart-Pounding Price Drops into Perspective / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: EWI
Here's what our "preferred" Elliott wave count said on Feb. 5, 2021
When financial historians discuss past manias, many of them point to the South Sea Company of the early 1700s as a classic example.
The enthusiasm to buy a piece of the action was so great that even Sir Isaac Newton became in investor.
He, along with many others, eventually lost big time when the South Sea Company Bubble burst.

Technical Analysis of EUR/USD / Currencies / Euro
By: Submissions
The strength in US long-term yields is beginning to put downward pressure on the Euro as the dollar gains traction. The exchange rate is starting to edge through a critical support level, while the exchange rate is also oversold. Medium-term momentum remains negative, pointing to a lower exchange rate on the EUR/USD. The EUR/USD weekly forex trading chart shows that the currency pair topped out in January and appears to have broken through trend line support. The daily charts show a similar picture but also show that the exchange rate is oversold an might have moved too far too fast.

Ethereum Surges to Record High, As for Fundamental Causes... it's "Game" Over / Currencies / Ethereum
By: EWI
The GameStop fiasco did not spark Ether's rally; see the Elliott wave pattern that did.
Cryptocurrencies are well-known as hot-potato markets with volatile price swings. Most investors and traders see cryptos as "catch-and-release" - vs. - "buy-and-hold."
But this chart tells a somewhat different story. It not only shows that the #1 top performing cryptocurrency for 2020 and (so far) 2021 is #2 in line: Ethereum. But it also shows that, after trending sideways from August through October, ETH held and continued to hold the upside in a powerful rally to record highs on February 3.

In comments made during her confirmation hearing last month, Secretary of Treasury Janet Yellen said that transactions in cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, were used “mainly for illicit financing” and suggested that lawmakers and regulators curtail their use due to terrorism concerns.
Here are the statements she made in response to a question from Sen. Maggie Hassan, who asked Yellen during her confirmation hearing on Tuesday about the dangers of terrorists using cryptocurrencies:

US Dollar Has Crossed the “Event Horizon” / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Raymond_Matison
The “event horizon” is a term used in astronomy which describes an imaginary point some distance from a black hole in the center of a galaxy where the gravitational force becomes so strong that any heavenly body which crosses that point (visualized as a circle around the black hole) cannot escape the hole’s gravitational pull, and matter is inexorably pulled into the black hole destroying it completely. This is an apt analogue to the continuous and increasing printing of fiat currency where once an astronomic amount of debt is issued creating the currency, it then starts to lose purchasing value such that it is no longer possible for it not to lose all or most of its value, and it collapses on itself. Similar to stellar mass being destroyed in the case of black holes, the currency and its purchasing value is completely or mostly destroyed.
This article proposes that unrelenting growth of national debt, which is the basis for currency creation has reached a global inflection level such that the value of fiat currencies across the globe, with several notable country exceptions, are drawn into a whirlpool of decline that will ultimately result in its near complete loss of value.

Bitcoin and Precious Metals may be disconnecting trends / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Chris_Vermeulen
In the recent past, quite a bit of attention was focused on Bitcoin throughout the October 2020 to January 2021 rally phase. It was an incredible rally of over 400% and many analysts had highlighted the alignment of Bitcoin to Precious Metals prior to the breakout rally in Bitcoin. The renewed interest in Cryptos in October broke this alignment as Cryptos rallied while Precious Metals stayed mostly flat to negative.
My research team and I have written on How To Spot The End Of An Excess Phase (Part I and Part II)near the end of November 2020, which spotlighted Bitcoin. We have further identified a broad market cycle phase which has shifted from Appreciation to Depreciation, taking place in late 2018/early 2019, and believed the rally in Bitcoin was driven by this excess phase enthusiasm.

What’s next for Bitcoin Price – $56k or $16k? / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Bitcoin traders and enthusiasts are riding the wave after the incredible rally from $9,000 to $42,000 throughout Q4:2020. It certainly was an incredible run – more than quadrupling in value in less than three months. Now we find ourselves in an early 2021 corrective phase which will end in either another Breakout/Rally attempt or an Excess Phase (Blow-off) Top. This article highlights both potential outcomes because at this stage it is difficult to determine a single high-probability outcome.
Before I continue, I urge readers to review our How To Spot The End Of An Excess Phase article from November 27, 2020. You can re-read it at www.thetechnicaltraders.com/how-to-spot-the-end-of-an-excess-phase-part-ii/. This is an excellent primer for the content of this current research article.

US Dollar Decline creates New Sector Opportunities to Trade / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Chris_Vermeulen
The weakness in the US Dollar, which initiated after the Covid-19 peak in March 2020, has entered an extended downward price trend which is nearing a key support level near 88.33. One key factor related to this trend is a weakness in the US Dollar, which means other foreign currencies become comparatively stronger. This transitional currency valuation phase creates an environment where localized foreign investments may become much more opportunistic than the US stock market/sectors if this US Dollar decline continues. Simply put, foreign investors will suddenly start to realize they are losing alpha in US Dollar based investments compared to stronger, foreign currency-based investments over time and move their capital to profit from the US Dollar’s decline.

Bitcoin Price Crash: FCA Warning Was a Slap in the Face. But Not the Cause / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: EWI
See what 'allowed' for a turn down in the immediate future
In case you blinked over the last two days, bitcoin bulls had their hat abruptly handed to them when the cryptocurrency plummeted a jarring 26% in 48 hours.
The grisly details (or, here's how this bearish opportunity unfolded, for the few traders who were ready):
- The selloff was the market's worst two-day decline since the start of the coronavirus in March 2020.
- The crash took prices $10,000 down from their all-time high near $42,000 set on Friday, January 8.
- And, all told, the move erased nearly $185 billion from bitcoin's value (Jan. 11 Bloomberg); for reference, that's the entire net worth of the richest man on Earth, Elon Musk.
