On January 4, 1971 the EuroUSD index started trading with an opening value of 0.5353. By December 3, 1979 the EuroUSD index hit a high of 1.1418 before starting a decline in January 1980. Thirty-nine years after the EuroUSD index started trading, the BTCUSD (Bitcoin/USD) index started trading on July 19, 2010 with an opening value of 0.08584. It has taken Bitcoin 11 years to develop a structure that is similar to the EuroUSD that ran from 1971 to 1980. As the Dow, S&P500, and Nasdaq start their long term decline in 2021, the value of the U.S. Dollar will rise just as it did between 1980 and 1985.
It was noted in the March 1, 2021 post that calculations indicate global currencies, such as the Australian Dollar, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, and Euro are expected to retest their previous 2020 lows by early 2023 as the U.S. Dollar moves higher. Bitcoin is also expected to have a significant decline for several years, similar to what occurred with the EuroUSD index between 1980 and 1985.
