It's already one week since we launched the @Real Vision crypto survey and more than 650 votes in the first week. Wow.

So in addition to the weekly macro survey, I want to present the first insights. As always, I track the portfolio by looking at the weekly survey each Sunday. The portfolio will then be reallocated on Monday.

Crypto survey summary

The survey portfolio was relatively concentrated, as most people voted for an overweight of the top coins. I formed portfolio by substracting underweight from overweight, taking the absolute value (long only!) and standardizing the weights to sum up to one.

Welcome to the weekly results of the Real Vision Exchange Macro survey. You might wonder, why "Macro survey"? Well, on the weekend I launched a separate survey, the Real Vision Crypto Survey.

So, what happened in the macro survey last week?

Last week's performance summary

Commodities could make back some of its initial losses on Wednesday. Long VIX also cost some money.
