Powell Sparks Bitcoin Surge
This week on Swan Signal Live, Brady, John, Alec, and Jason unpack Jerome Powell’s dovish Fed signal, Bitcoin’s sharp rally, and the significance of the 200-day SMA crossing $100K. They debate supercycles vs boring “grind-ups,” address MicroStrategy FUD, BIS surveillance overreach, and laugh at Bitcoin’s latest cameo in South Park.
