🚨 Macro & Geopolitical Alert: War, The Fed, and a High-Volatility Week
💥 Geopolitical Escalation:
The Threat: Trump (via Truth Social) threatens to destroy Iran's power grid, oil wells, Kharg Island terminal, and desalination plants if no deal is reached soon.
Military Move: Thousands of elite 82nd Airborne troops (US Army's rapid response force) are arriving in the Middle East.
Stalemate: Iran labels the US 15-point plan "unreasonable" and refuses direct talks. Peace prospects look grim.
🦅 The Fed & Macro:
Powell’s Pivot: At Harvard, Powell signals a "hold" on rates, choosing to look through the energy shock as a "one-off event." * Market Reaction: 10Y yields have retreated to ~4.3%, but the broader market remains firmly in Risk-Off mode.
📊 Trade Setup & Key Windows:
1️⃣ Escalation Window: Apr 3–5 (US markets closed). This is a high-risk "blind spot" for geopolitical shifts.
2️⃣ Pension Rebalancing: Watch Tuesday for a potential brief equity bid due to Q-end rebalancing.
3️⃣ NFP Uncertainty: Friday’s Non-Farm Payrolls (Est +60K) adds another layer of chaos.
🔥 Watchlist: $USTECH-100 (Tech under pressure); $XAUT (Gold/Safe haven); $BTC (High volatility)
Expect massive swings through April 6. Stay hedged. 📉🛡️

Bitcoin spot ETFs swung to $167.23M in net inflows on Monday, snapping a 3-day outflow streak — only to reverse again Tuesday with $74.53M in outflows.
Ethereum remains under pressure. Outflows have now stretched to 5 consecutive days, with another $40.80M exiting Tuesday. ETH at $2,174, total AUM at $12.22B.
Price and flows diverging — too early to call this a clean reversal.

Same market. Opposite flows.
BTC ETFs: +$95.18M last week. ETH ETFs: -$59.94M. One in, one out.
Neither price is inspiring confidence — but capital is still tilting toward BTC. In a risk-off environment, the pecking order is clear.
How long does ETH's relative underperformance last?
