Maakt de dollarindex nieuwe hoogtepunten voor 2021 gevaarlijk? Bitcoin?
De recente zenuwen in de aandelenmarkt en de macrowereld hebben ertoe geleid dat de dollar naar een nieuw hoogtepunt in 2021 is gestegen, net zoals Bitcoin continues to set new records.
Maar is het ontwaken van de dollar een gevaarlijke situatie voor cryptocurrencies, of is er iets anders aan de hand?
BTC reageert nauwelijks terwijl DXY de nieuwe 2021 High aantiktBitcoin price is in price discovery mode, after breaking its former high set earlier in the year. The cryptocurrency is pitched as a replacement for gold, and even the dollar – the current global reserve currency.
Cryptocurrencies, commodities, and everything else are priced in dollars as the most dominant currency acting as the base conversion rate. This means that Bitcoin price increases inversely to the dollar on the BTC/USD trading pair.

So it is unusual that Bitcoin continues to tap new highs all while the DXY Dollar Currency Index has reached the highest level of all of 2021.

That basket includes major trade partners, the Euro (EUR), Japanese yen (JPY), British pound sterling (GBP), Canadian dollar (CAD), Swiss franc (CHF), and the Swedish krona (SEK).
The highs in the DXY could be indicative of weakness in the currencies in the basket, or strength in the dollar itself. Bitcoin’s current performance or lack of strong reaction after new highs, could more so be due to strength in the dollar holding the cryptocurrency back.

Bitcoin price also happens to be touching a trend line where such a reaction occurred in the past.

An uptrend is defined as a series of higher highs and higher lows – something characteristic of both assets in the short term. What is very different between the two, is the longer term trend. For Bitcoin, the primary trend has been up while for the dollar has been down.

As bullish as I am on #Bitcoin, I can’t shake seeing this trend line touch. It’s worth some caution. I’ve added a Black Thursday fractal to convey the danger. If this happens, it just means a later and higher peak for the cycle. I still aim for sooner than later tho! pic.twitter.com/fPd7faDZb5
