Bloomberg’s macro strategist Mike McGlone says that he believes incoming recessionary pressures could cause Bitcoin
to retest the $20,000 level.
In a tweet on Friday, McGlone warned that Bitcoin’s recent rally above $31,000 is running against a powerful headwind.
“Bitcoin $20,000 or $40,000? Facing the Fed, Recession, Nasdaq – Potential launch of U.S. ETFs won’t shield Bitcoin from facing its first U.S. recession, a potential equity bear market, and vigilant central banks. Lessons of risk-assets vs. negative liquidity and economic contraction,” he said.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $30,698, up by 16% in the last seven days.
McGlone added that liquidity continues to drain out of the markets, with many central banks outside of the U.S. increasing interest rates this month.

That liquidity rug-pull is still happening, with most central banks continuing to tighten in June, could be a headwind, even as risk assets have bounced on hopes for a mild U.S. recession and easing by the Fed,” he added.
