Issue #6 of Dr. Jeff's Macro Chartbook is live! 👀
The Other Side of the Storm
I have a confession: I have been spending too much time in the doom loop. This issue is different.
→ AI is augmenting workers, not replacing them -- the data says so
→ US unemployment near historic lows despite decades of automation fears
→ S&P 500 earnings growing at 18-22% -- the AI productivity story is real
→ Bitcoin priced in gold: strikingly similar to the Dec. 2022 bottom
→ Bitcoin short-term: bearish ascending channel resolved to the upside, now knocking on the 200-day SMA
→ Silver: third test of upper boundary resolved to the upside THIS MORNING
"Great nations and economies are built on proof of work. And they die on proof of stake."
Plus: proof of work nutrition. Yes, really.

Issue #5 of Dr. Jeff's Macro Chartbook is live! 👀
Signals Converging
Four independent frameworks. One directional message.
→ The US dollar reclaims its 200-day SMA -- bullish near-term, complicated long-term
→ Bitcoin forming a second bear flag -- with liquidity confirming the warning
→ Michael Howell's GLI suggests lower crypto prices over the coming 13 weeks
→ Brent Crude is a coiled spring -- the geopolitical wildcard nobody is pricing correctly
→ NASDAQ/Gold: a 40-year pattern that has repeated twice is repeating again
The window for clear thinking may be shorter than most people realize.

These are fair criticisms. Here's my response:
If you believe--as I do--that humanity/society/governments/financial systems/monetary systems/etc. move in cycles, then my views may not seem so contradictory or "bizarre," as you state.
For instance, a man does not stand on a beach, hoping for a warmth and a sun tan when it is snowing and lake is water is frozen. When Summer is over and Winter comes, he is wise to wear warm clothes and build a fire to stay warm.
Likewise, when we approach the climax of a #FourthTurning, then the existing human systems and structures necessarily begin to collapse, and new ones are built on the other side.
History has shown that all involved countries essentially turn "communist"... that is, from "free market capitalism" and individualism to central command and control. Only by banding together and working towards a common goal (against a common enemy) can a nation hope to survive and win a major war against a major adversary.
I'm not pro-war, but I am a realist who believes that WW3 has already begun... similar to how WW2 began in the mid-to-late 1930s for Europe, Asia, and North Africa... not in 1941, as many Americans believe.
Finally, it is naive to believe that America is still a "free market capitalist" system in 2026. The US government is heavily involved in the both the financial and monetary systems... directing funds towards the rapid build-out of the military industrial complex at the expense of other "non-essential" industries, massively expanding government debt, actively debasing the people's purchasing power, etc.
In short, the US government is actively picking winners and losers--central command and control, a form of "communism"--in order to compete with their named adversaries. Ironically, the US is becoming more like China in order to compete with China.
This response is already getting too long, but I haven't even addressed the coming age of AI and robotics, which also mean that humans will lose across the board in almost all labor competitions. If "free market capitalism" still exists in the 2030s and beyond, then most humans who try to compete will be the recipients of creative destruction.
Soon, humans won't be able to outthink AI or outwork robots... a la John Henry, the "steel-drivin' man." -- If this is the case, then our entire society/government/financial system/monetary system/etc. will need to be re-thought and re-created.
Hopefully this helps. Cheers.

Because I like you, here's a free glimpse of an amazing chart that I'm regularly watching... 👀
Three data lines are overlapping:
1. ISM Manufacturing PMI (multi-color line)
2. Global M2 (blue line)
3. Bitcoin price (red/green candles)
I still believe that the unimpressive bitcoin price performance in 2025 resulted primarily from the lack of a positive US manufacturing cycle since 2021.
Everything became distorted during the 2021 Covid-related, fiscal/monetary easing debacle, but cycles have a way of re-establishing themselves.
ISM Manufacturing PMI is finally starting to recover.
It will be interesting to see if the price of bitcoin responds in kind, as it (seemingly) has in the past.
Not a prediction, just some observations.
Cheers. 🍻

Based on the amount of comments (primarily on YouTube) that I am a "moron" who should "stay in [my] lane" and not discuss geopolitics because I am "way out of [my] depth"...
I would recommend that such folks take some time to actually read the National Security Strategy of the United States of America, which was published by the Whitehouse in November 2025.
Afterwards, if you would like to have a civilized discussion about my misinterpretations of the Trump administration's geopolitical and military actions/intentions, I would be amenable.

2025-12-03 22:30:33 UTC

Rather than peaking in 4Q 2025--as I had previously anticipated--important macro assets are actually showing signs of major cyclical bottoms at current levels.
In my opinion, the anticipated bear market for certain assets and sectors has been pulled forward into 2025... and 2026 looks surprisingly bullish based on the relevant macro and technical data points that I closely follow.
In light of this, I will be re-opening my small (award winning) friends and family macro-oriented, Bitcoin-friendly, multi-strategy hedge fund to appropriate HNWIs who share a long-term investment time horizon with me.

What I'm watching... 👀
Priced in gold, the last time MSTR was as oversold (in RSI terms) on the weekly charts as it is today was during the deep valley of the flash Covid recession in March of 2020 (see vertical green lines).
At that harrowing time, MSTR reached as low as $9 per share.
For a long-term investor, this may be a proverbial "blood in the streets" moment for MSTR shareholders.
Not investment advice... but interesting to note.
Thoughts?

Despite the end of the shutdown, the Liquidity Blob remains stuck in the government’s coffers.
Bitcoin is screaming for more liquidity.
The 2-year Treasury yield is screaming for a lower fed funds rate.
But, sadly, the market screams are falling on deaf ears.
It’s painful to watch.

Once (if) the government shutdown ends, Fed Net Liquidity will become relevant and sexy again.
Until then, the Liquidity Blob remains stuck in the Fed’s and Treasury’s back pockets.
When (if) the shutdown ends, the Liquidity Blob will finally and mercifully begin shifting back to the people and the public markets.
This shift should quickly be reflected in the fiat price of #bitcoin.

Aggressive central planning by the current administration.

The two most important (and generally overlooked) factors in determining (guessing) bitcoin's fiat price action over the coming quarters are:
1. Chinese liquidity
2. American manufacturing
I expect both to accelerate... materially.
Just my guess. You do you.

I don’t know about THE most important signal, but it is a very important (and under-watched) signal.

I historically agree... as both a Christian and a staunch free market capitalist.
But in the coming (presumed) Digital Age--which will be dominated by AI and robotics--humans may not be gainfully employed... and may not have the monetary means to provide material needs to their unemployed neighbor.
Capitalism doesn't work well for humanity if humans are the weak link across all professions, white collar or blue collar.

Good question.
The economy will likely shift towards energy and compute. That is, the companies that require an increasing amount of energy/compute will need to purchase an increasing amount from the explorers, producers, builders, distributors, etc. of the energy/compute.
Even though the marginal cost of production will trend towards zero, the exponential increase in need for such things will be the primary drivers of the Digital economy.

Probably the same entities that determine clean water, electricity, physical infrastructure, etc.

According to the "Abundance" theory, AI-related companies will become increasingly profitable while unemployment surges. In order to stave off a revolution from the unemployed and desperately poor peasants, the lucrative companies would pay a meaningful tax, which would be distributed as UBS and/or UBI.

Regarding the much discussed coming Age of Abundance…
Universal basic services (UBS) would be much wiser and more beneficial for humanity than universal basic income (UBI).
UBS examples may include widely available:
- Clean water
- Electricity
- Bandwidth
- Safe roads and bridges
- Food
- Housing
- etc.
Discuss.

The Revolution isn't coming... it's already here.
After an ~80 year run of the post-WW2 system, the much-anticipated global geopolitical, monetary/financial, and societal reordering is well-underway.
Remember that great societies are built on proof of work and die on proof of stake.
Keep your eyes open and adapt accordingly.

500 years of Western imperialism is actively winding down.
Adjust accordingly.

The US has long weaponized the US dollar against its adversaries (including China).
China is now starting to weaponize the global manufacturing and supply chain against its adversaries (including the US).
This won’t end well for the US dollar’s multi-decade hegemony and status quo of the West’s geopolitical “elites.”
Consider owning some bitcoin and gold while the debasement of the dollar accelerates over the coming 5-15 years.
