Mike McGlone Bitcoin Bitcoin will head back downward below $80,000 and lead other risk assets lower
See quote
[28:23] one of the best leading indicators for everything I've used for the last decade or so is Bitcoin and it's just broke up to a decent resistance level and I think it's heading back downward. So I'm looking that as a decent leading indicator. If it stays below 80, which was key resistance, and just goes back down to the trend, it might be what led everything up is leading everything back down.
