“Bitcoin surrendering? $40,000 is more likely than $20,000,” he wrote on Twitter.
“Bitcoin’s drop on June 8 and its return to support in the lower range around $30,000 have many signs of extreme bearish sentiment, which marks a sustained bull market bottom. “
McGlone emphasized that Bitcoin has already hit its 20-week moving average providing similar bottom signals through March 2020 – the peak of the COVID-19-induced market crash.

For McGlone, however, El Salvador’s announcement, which first appeared at the Miami convention last week, marks a clear turning point.
