The Great Decoupling

The cryptocurrency market saw a slight retracement today, likely due to the looming news of the Shanghai upgrade that is incoming. However, traditional markets seem to be having a weaker tone today as well. On the other hand, gold dipped off from yesterday's highs, and oil is currently above $80 dollars, which is notable.The job market has been under scrutiny as the market expects Powell to pivot in case there is any sign of weakness. Bank stocks have continued to get hammered, and the banking system is still in hot water.In other news, other deeds have dipped since the decoupling, which essentially refers to another 100k NFTs from Yuga. One set has decoupled assets, another has artifacts, and one has a set of 10k Kodas. This increase in supply does increase the market's supply, but there is also a splitting effect.The job market has been under close watch as the Fed considers raising interest rates. The lowest labor market number since 2021 was reported recently, indicating that things may be slowing down. This gives more power to the Fed to raise rates, which is a factor that could affect the crypto market as well.Interestingly, crypto feels like it is more correlated to gold and interest rates as opposed to the actual stock market. The correlation is even stronger considering the recent retracement in the crypto market due to the looming news of the Shanghai upgrade.Bank stocks have been hit hard in the market, with the banking system still in hot water.
