Lucky vs. Reversion 2026 - Bitcoin May Be Guiding Toward the Latter
- "Lucky" might mean maintaining US stock market cap-to-GDP at about a 100-year high and Nasdaq 180-day volatility near an eight-year low
- And Bitcoin above $74,000
- Staying below $64,000 could trigger deflationary dominoes
- Peak Bitcoin and gold's alpha grab in 2025 may have been luck
- It could take a lot of luck for the stock market, copper, silver, crude oil, T-bond yields and even overstretched gold to avoid following collapsing cryptos
- There was one in 2009; now there are millions
- I'm going with the normal risks of reversion in 2026
- The chart highlights what's different from the last time NDX 180-day volatility stayed below 15% in 2017: stock-market cap-to-GDP was closer to 1.5x vs. 2.3x now and Bitcoin was rising to its $10,000 threshold
