As I mentioned in a premium post last night, the alignment between crypto and stocks is remarkable, with a nearly perfect correlation between two ostensibly different asset classes. I would suggest that the price levels I have highlighted below (in the back boxes) are important levels of resistance for what has been (in the case of both stocks AND crypto) a very powerful multi-month run higher.

As LZ pointed out today, the last time the garbage stock Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) was treated like God’s gift to equities, the market precisely top-ticked its massive rally. I pray to heavenly father we see a repeat of the same thing, thanks to the signal this junk stock is offering.
