Location: Remotely Date: Thursday 5th August Company: Independent, Bitcoin Magazine Role: On-chain Analyst, Director of Financial Markets & Research

From early May to late July, the price of Bitcoin dropped substantially from ~$64k to below $30k. This was following a wave of negative press, a renewed ESG, anti-proof of work narrative and Elon Musk FUDing Bitcoin. 

During this time, the sentiment amongst most Bitcoin traders turned negative, with many calling for the price to drop into the low $20,000s. The futures markets reflected this negative sentiment, with a large majority of participants in short positions.

One faction of the trading community that remained bullish throughout the turndown was the on-chain analysts. While the price fell, key on-chain metrics pointed at this being a dip rather than the beginning of a long term bear market. New users on the network grew, short term holders turned to long term holders, and retail was buying the dip.

Many on-chain analysts predicted a sizeable short squeeze that quickly took the price from sub-$30k to over $40k in just a few days.

So, what's next for Bitcoin? Is this just a dead-cat bounce, or are we heading higher?

In this episode, I talk to on-chain analyst Will Clemente, and Bitcoin Magazines Director of Financial Markets & Research Dylan LeClair. We discuss the recent Bitcoin price action and the current macroeconomic backdrop.
