Today on “The Breakdown,” NLW digs into bitcoin and crypto markets. He argues that despite two weeks of sideways-down price action, there are a set of reasons to be optimistic:

  • Historically bad March months versus historically good Aprils
  • Retracements and pullbacks in 2017
  • Analysis around options expiry in 2021
  • The continuation and expansion of the macro inflation narrative
  • Institutions applying for bitcoin ETFs
  • Coins leaving exchanges
