This is great Brent, thanks for going over this stuff! Helps especially for those that don’t work directly in finance/trading. So much information out there on the web, the issue is misinformation. But I know a handful of people, including you, that can explain the necessary but complex topics in a concise and brief manner. Thanks again and can’t wait to see more of these Friday Speedruns!

Loved the format Brent. This gives everything to know at a glance and based on interest we can then expand accordingly. Looking forward to more of this....On a side note, I have also picked up your book, the art of currency trading. Amazon reviews says that if you had to read only one book on currency trading, this is it....so fingers crossed :)

Love your Friday Speed Run, nice format, love your style and sense of humor too, good stuff.

Just one comment. Your KRE graph left me guessing. Some of us might appreciate indicators telling us what we are looking at. Three graph lines and no indication of which is which. A bit of educated guessing was in order .

You're right about the bullishness in Oil if it holds, of course. But even more bullish might be if it fills the gap and actually goes back to close above the OPEC cut high. Just my two cents.

Great write-up, this could be a time saver, thanks!

good article, sub'ed

the other week I saw some stats about crypto having extremely low correlation to equities over the last few months. what do you think about that? temporary or structural change?

Expand full comment

Hi I think it’s temporary as crypto volumes and overall volatility are low. Usually correlation falls in periods of low interest and low vol. i think when / if people get interested again, corr will pick up along with volatility and volumes.

Solid take, makes sense to me. But that makes me wonder if some mean reversion is in the cards, BTC still down >50% from ATH, while SPY is what, only 6-7% off all time high?

Tricky to risk manage but reversion of NVDA to BTC appeals to me very much. Sell NVDA call spreads to finance BTC call spreads say 12-18 month time horizon

Hi Brett

The correlation i see emerging currently is Crypto Gold, and bit looser Crypto miners Gold miners.
