Summary
Some think we hit a local bottom while others are skeptical of the bounce.
This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io, NEAR and FTX US.
On today’s show, NLW explores the discussion around the bitcoin relief rally of the last two days, following the crash last Friday and Saturday. Some think that there are a plethora of bottom signals that suggest we may have a mean reversion and return to being correlated with equities, after falling much faster than Nasdaq thanks to the Luna/Terra implosion. Others think that we won’t find a bottom until equities find a bottom, and that doesn’t seem to have happened yet.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, NLW. |
| 0:09.1 | It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin, and the big picture power shifts remaking our world. |
| 0:15.0 | The breakdown is sponsored by nexo.io, near an FTX, and produced and distributed by CoinDesk. |
| 0:22.7 | What's going on, guys? It is Tuesday, June 21st, and today we're discussing how real is the |
| 0:30.5 | relief rally? Before we dive in, a couple housekeeping notes, there are two ways to listen to the |
| 0:37.1 | breakdown podcast. You can find it on |
| 0:39.6 | the Coin Desk podcast network feed, which comes out every afternoon and features the breakdown |
| 0:44.2 | and other great Coin desk shows. Or if you want to listen to the breakdown only feed, you can |
| 0:49.1 | get that in the evenings of the same day. Of course, wherever you listen, if you're enjoying the show, I would |
| 0:55.2 | love if you would take the time to give a rating or a review. It makes a huge difference with new |
| 1:00.2 | people finding the show, and I appreciate each and every one of you who takes the time to do that. |

| 1:20.0 | weekend, where Bitcoin slunk down to 17,600 or so on Saturday, breaking many hearts and more spirits. There was in this period a ton of |
| 1:31.2 | apparent capitulation. Bitcoin saw more than $7 billion worth of realized losses, which was the most |
| 1:37.3 | in a three-day stretch ever. Realized losses in this case means people selling for less than they |
| 1:42.7 | had purchased for. There was also a |
| 1:45.0 | capitulation of long-term holders as defined by coins that had been held for 155 days, which is |
| 1:50.9 | GlassNodes measure. Google searches for Bitcoin is dead and Crypto is dead reached new all-time |
| 1:57.6 | highs. Then on Sunday, though, things bounced back, with Bitcoin jumping up 16%. |
