How markets are reacting during earnings season—some notes, point by point

There’s no new narrative in US stocks today, just price moves.

These macro figures are current prices, not recollections:

Crude oil 90.05 (5-day -1.16%, Yahoo)
S&P 7,819 (5-day +1.93%, Yahoo)
Dow 51,521 (5-day +0.33%, Yahoo)

So: VIX 15.67, with volatility being suppressed. At levels like these, US stocks can grind higher. Don’t use gains in US stocks as a reason to add leverage in crypto—a VIX bounce, and futures get wiped out first.

Crypto: BTC 83792 (-2.73%), funding rate -0.0048% (8h, Binance USDⓈ-M). ETH is down 4.92% over 24h, weaker than BTC at -2.73%; exchange rate 0.03079. Money is concentrating in BTC, so wait and see before taking positions in altcoins.

There’s only one thing I’m watching in crypto: can BTC close above its 24h high of 86699? If it can’t, talk of following the rally is just hot air.

My position: I don’t try to catch the first drop. Until the decline is accompanied by a reduction in open interest, any early entry is catching a falling knife.

When memes aren’t outperforming BTC, are you still holding them?

For context: people elsewhere are discussing “"bitcoin OR stock market OR US stocks" - Google News”. I’m treating that only as background; my conclusions are still based on the figures in the main text.

These are my personal views; figures are from the sources cited in the main text. Not an instruction to trade.
