I got this question so many times today that I can just forward how I've been responding:

    credit downgrade = sell bonds = higher rates = higher dollar = lower BTC....all else remaining equal.

    Doesn't tell the whole story of today though - truth is that bonds are not selling off universally. Just the long end of the curve. We're in the process of de inverting. If it continues - watch out....that's when the market typically experiences the most pain in the inversion cycle.  As I expected, the long end is rising to catch the short end, not the other way around (higher for longer is finally getting priced in).
