Although the bitcoin price has been wavering since March 13, there are historical, technical and foundational reasons to be optimistic. 

This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io and Casper, and this week’s special product launch, Exodus.

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
