This Bitcoin Signal = MAJOR CRASH (WARNING)
In this 9‑minute episode, the host analyzes Bitcoin’s current market dynamics amid heightened geopolitical tension, rising oil prices, and a soaring S&P 500. He highlights a historic 350‑week moving average that has reliably signaled bear markets, noting Bitcoin sits about 40% above it and could face a drop to the $45‑$46 K range. At the same time, he points to improving money‑flow metrics, a bullish MACD, and institutional buying from recent BlackRock ETFs that suggest a floor around $55‑$60 K. The host concludes the likely outcome lies between the extremes, with Bitcoin potentially stabilising near $60 K rather than plunging to $40 K.
