Bull Case
The direct correlation between repo spreads (which increase as real interest rates decrease) and stablecoin inflows. Stablecoins have seen over $100bn in inflows since Trump took office. Institutions have been in risk on since then.
Both Consumer Discretionary vs. Staples (RSPD/RSPS) and High Beta vs. Low Volatility (SPHB/SPLV) are breaking out to new highs. [Risk on is spreading out, buy the crypto dip before it's too late!]

Today's report showed PCE inflation was up 2.6% over the 12 months ending in July, while Core PCE was up 2.9%.

BTC is dumping not because of PCE, which came inline with expectations, but because of gold retesting its ATH. This is the 4th retest since April.
Our view remains that gold has topped, with Powell's Jackson Hole speech putting a cap on it. We see this move on the last working day of August as a classic bull trap before a major top. The big rotation into crypto seems poised to begin in September.

π¨ICYMI: After market close on Friday, the US Court of Appeals ruled that most tariffs enacted by Trump under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) are unlawful.
This ruling provides the fundamental catalyst for our bull trap scenario to materialize.
DOJ will appeal to SCOTUS, but the conservative Supreme Court recently curtailed federal agency powers in ways that could work against Trump here
*WaPo (1h ago): Some experts expect the high court to abstain from this particular case or ruling against Trumpβs interests.

The liquidity in Federal Reserve's $2.5T REPO cash sponge has been almost completely squeezed out. The balance has dropped by 99%, leaving only $22B. [WRESBAL ($3.3T) is the next liquidity sponge that will be wrung out by inflation denial, BTFD!]

π¨NYC based attorney John Polonis: It will be difficult for the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the rejection of Trump's tariffs at the appellate level.
*Trump tried to justify his imposition of tariffs under the IEEPA, the appellate court ruled 7-4 that the tariffs are illegal
*The IEEPA is an emergency law that was designed to impose economic sanctions in response to threats against the U.S. As the court noted, it makes no mention of tariffs
*The court was also skeptical that Trump can use 'national security' to bypass separation of powers and limits on executive power.
*It will be very hard for SCOTUS to overcome the constitutional arguments at the appellate level unless they're willing to further reveal the extent of they're willing to go to protect this President.
