I have a few theories…
1 — no one really gives a shit about Ukraine (it’s all virtue signaling anyway), and has bought the scare.
2 — the large hedge funds, banks, and the usual Pelosi-types already bought the crash after shaking out all the retail investors due to the Russia, Russia, Russia insanity in the media.
3 — covid is now the thing of the past, the Fed has been given the ‘out’ to raise interest rates, so retail are now buying back into the market
BUT … the oddity is both Gold and BTC is up by a very large amount.
Gold +1%
BTC +10%
All this in the backdrop of sanctions and the cutting off of Russia from the DS financial system.
This, lay the SP500 chart over the money printing graph and that is way too much of a coincidence.
