We spent many months not talking about the price of Bitcoin because it was perpetually 60 or 61 or $62,000.

Now, of course, we need to lead with the general price action on every show.

And my messaging will probably be rather consistent until we see what plays out next.

So in case you missed it, here's what happened overnight. Bitcoin reclaims uh 81,000 but bulls face key resistance.

So no point in bringing up the charts. I'll just tell you what I am personally thinking here.

So we've endlessly talked about the reason that Bitcoin went up. Breaking above 80,000 is really important.
