๐Ÿ“‰ macro โ€” the new dominant force
With the Iran war over, macro became the new enemy of $BTC in June. Three data points defined the month ๐Ÿ‘‡
๐ŸŒก๏ธ CPI (May): 4.2% YoY โ€” highest in 3 years, in line but accelerating
๐Ÿญ PPI (May): 6.5% YoY โ€” highest since Nov 2022, broke all relief
๐Ÿ“ˆ PCE (May): in line โ€” still well above 2% Fed target
๐Ÿ“ˆ GDP: strong โ€” economy not weak enough to force Fed cuts
๐Ÿ’ต DXY: gaining strength โ€” dollar up, pressure on all risk assets
๐Ÿšจ Rate HIKE probability July: 36% โ€” conversation shifted from cuts to hikes
The economic paradox of June โ€” strong GDP with sticky inflation is the worst possible combination for $BTC. The Fed has no reason to cut and every reason to hike. 9 out of 18 Fed members now believe 2% inflation won't be reached until 2028. The macro headwind is structural, not temporary. ๐Ÿง
