• Bitcoin suffered an extreme bout of volatility late Friday on news an ETF based on the cryptocurrency was denied
• EUR/USD found motivation to end the week despite an ECB hold and NFPs discount, as attention turned forward
• Risk aversion seems mild from benchmarks like SPX, but the collective slide for the markets should be watched closely
