Here is what you need to know on Monday, May 17:
Bitcoin returns to the weekend dump trend as it clings to $45,000. Technically is looks vulnerable below so it is all hands on deck for now. Elon Musk certainly joins the bulls as he says Tesla is not selling any. Either way, the weakness in Bitcoin and some other cryptocurrencies will likely feed into meme stocks on Monday as the negative correlation between the two remains intact. Obviously Crypto stocks such as COIN, MARA, RIOT, and others will be under pressure.
The dollar remains weak after Fridays disappointing retail sales number out of the US. Yields have retreated as the Fed has further ammunition to keep rates lower for longer.
