The $2,000 breakout was exciting, but the price has now stalled.
US consumer price inflation (CPI) was a little softer last month. The latest reading of 4.9% feels much more comfortable than the 9% we suffered last summer.

Crypto

<p>The US dollar has made a 20-day high as it passes above the blue max line. Price is above both moving averages, which are positively sloping. That’s a 5-star trend.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Dollar Bull</h3>

<p>When the dollar goes up like this, other currencies fall, and in this week’s&nbsp;ATOMIC, I highlighted the weakening Renminbi. It’s just one of those things that when the CNH falls, it’s rarely never good for crypto.</p>
<h3>Beware of a Falling Renminbi</h3>

<p>The last couple of days have seen a sharp deterioration in crypto breadth. There is not a single 5-star trend, just five 4-star trends, and a deteriorating number of 3-stars. A quarter of the space is now in a (0-star) downtrend.</p>
<h3>Red Skies Return</h3>

<p>The stockmarket has ignored the dollar strength thus far, but as you already know, crypto is a leading indicator. In this bear market rally, or a new bull market, as some believe, there are still very few strong trends in dollar terms.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Will the Red Skies Appear Like They Just Did in Crypto?</h3>

<h3>China Lags the World</h3>
