Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Macro Strategist Mike McGlone shared his March outlook and noted that the “top catalyst” that could push gold above the $2,000-per-ounce range is a recession. McGlone further explained in an update about bitcoin and the Nasdaq that a key ingredient to force the U.S. Federal Reserve to pivot its stance is “a sharp drop in the stock market.”
The Bloomberg analyst noted that “cryptos have never faced a U.S. recession, Fed tightening, and the bitcoin 50-week moving average below the 200-week.” McGlone detailed that at some point, most risk assets will bottom, but with the U.S. central bank still in tightening mode, most markets have bounced. “Bitcoin’s 50-week moving average has never crossed below its 200-week level amid the Fed’s tightening, and the crypto has bounced to this line in the sand at about $25,000,” McGlone said. The macro strategist added:
Swift snap-backs are typical of bear markets and if bitcoin can sustain above $25,000, it would signal divergent strength vs. central-bank.
