Cryptic ball: placing high stakes.
This was a very smooth weekend, with bitcoin and the wider cryptoasset market barely moving. If you see today's chart that should become clear. Now, Friday I warned you about an emergency Fed meeting that's taking place as I'm writing this newsletter, and I still believe we're experiencing the calm before a storm.
I hope I'm wrong, but I prefer to be hedged. In any case, and to be clear, I'm aligned with the DeFi Surfer's macro take shared in today's reading list, which also suits up nicely with the outlook shared last week for the year ahead: the next months will be tough, but I'm very bullish for the second half of 2022.
Even if today's Fed meeting doesn't produce any surprise outcome (which is quite likely, as few believe the Fed will want to signal it lacks control of the situation), we're just one month away from March's FOMC meeting, where rates will surely be hiked. While that will likely be a "sell the rumour, buy the announcement" event, that means the next weeks won't see major pumps nor alts mooning.
