Will be interesting in what happens with the Nasdaq. I did sell some on Friday and have powder. But once it starts dropping how low does it go? I would love to be wrong and it to be all green tomorrow

I can’t imagine the negotiations with the Iranians breaking off with no deal will be good for the markets in the short term. The last couple of months has numbed me to volatility.

Bitcoin is only down 3.15% today. That's a normal Tuesday in bitcoin world.

Bitcoin doesn't correlate to the whole market only high risk tech generally.

Anything high risk will be punished in these markets with massive uncertainty and high inflation.

Energy been the play obviously.

Funny that space X is barreling towards to is IPO with probably the most negative sentiment for it's industry incoming

Haven’t looked at the price of bitcoin since Friday but based on the announcement that Trump is implementing a blockade on the strait of Hormuz starting Monday morning I am now anticipating a lot of red tomorrow

Is bitcoin not down due to The NY Times article?

I think the pattern here is
1. Trump announces peace/cease fire—->market goes up
2. Sell
3. War resumes —-> market down.

Wash, rinse, repeat

This is why we have day jobs. The market didn't move down at all based on the weekend news. I am actually up. Now I am not saying some more news cant come out and it be down by the end of the day but that is the volitility we are dealing with.

Checking in to say I a green so far.

My gut is the market has moved into the "we do not care" phase of the Iran conflict. This is the same pattern as a year ago with tariffs.

Maybe we should learn to have some cash on hand for the February-April crisis Trump seems to create

Another half point up and the S&P will be green for the year (and at/near highest of all time).

I do question the wisdom of using BTC to track anything but the value of BTC. One would think it might go up during a crisis (like a digital form of gold), and down during periods of stability, but I never studied it much.

Assuming it is some measure of the broader equity markets seems kind of crazy from my vantage point. YMMV

The only thing bitcoin can be useful for is after hours or weekend activity since its the only thing liquid enough to move and respond to big news when markets aren't open. Otherwise, it isn't very useful to correlate to other sections outside of risk on assets.

The market really shouldn’t be fluctuating so much based on random headlines in the first place.

Since when? The Vix dropped a little bit but when the Vix is up like it has been headlines are literally what move the market. It is actually called Headline Risk.
