Thoughts on the CAD strength and what it means for risk assets like BTC
Interesting to see $CAD holding so steady at $95.879 today, even with some of the broader market jitters. It's a relatively calm day for the Canadian dollar, but when you zoom out, the hawkish tone from the BoC has been pretty consistent. This ongoing strength, or at least stability, in currencies tied to strong central bank signals is something I'm watching closely.
My take is that this sustained hawkishness from major central banks, even while others are showing signs of potential pivots, could continue to put pressure on risk assets like $BTC. While we've seen some resilience in crypto lately, a dollar that's not weakening significantly, coupled with persistent higher-for-longer narratives from central banks, might mean less tailwind for the flight to perceived alternatives. Just my two cents, curious to hear how others are thinking about these interplays.
