Bits + Bips: Bitcoin Is Deeply Oversold. Does That Mean the Bottom Is In?

Hi, everyone. Welcome to another edition of Bits and Bips the interview. I'm your host, Steve Ehrlich, and I'm here today with Katie Stockton, founder at Fairlead Strategies, an independent research firm and ETF fund manager. And we're gonna talk about everything happening in in the crypto markets. We're going to digest the bloodbath and talk about what's gonna happen next. So welcome, Katie. Welcome back, actually.

As a technical analyst, I do look at price trends, and price is our primary and in some cases, even sole input. We're trying to understand the nature of the trend, whether the trend still has good momentum, whether it's likely to reverse, whether it's in the midst of a counter trend move.

Right? We're looking at these price inputs Mhmm. To try to get a takeaway and just put more probabilities in our favor as we invest in the likes of Bitcoin.
