Chinese Yuan chart

No, this isn’t a shit coin, its the Chinese Yuan. Since its prior high, it has fallen about 5.3%

The last time, the Yuan devalued was back in 2015 and 2018. Looking back historically, once the Yuan finds its bottom, it triggers a rally in the US market.

Economics 101

Why would a country decide to devalue their own currency?

  • To strategically lower the purchasing power of a nation’s own currency
  • To gain competitive edge in global trade and reduce sovereign debt
  • To increase exports and decrease imports

Ultimately this leads to an increase in economic growth and decrease the current account deficit.

Triggering the wealth effect.

Having a positive impact on nation’s capital and housing market, which boosts domestic consumption.

$DXY has been on an absolute tear and is at resistance. If price retraces, it may support the thesis on equities rallying which may carry onto crypto as we see a correlation between the $NQ and $BTC at this point of time.
