The $40K Bitcoin Bottom Coming?

Don’t let the stock market highs fool you. Macro analyst Luke Gromen, founder of FFTT, returns to deliver a brutal reality check on what is actually happening to your money. While mainstream media celebrates green days, a hidden liquidity crisis is building behind the scenes.

In this episode, Gromen exposes the massive distortion in today’s markets—the seven tech stocks holding up the entire economy and why Bitcoin has fallen so far behind as stocks hit ATHs. If you want to protect your portfolio from the ultimate “sudden stop,” this is the realist roadmap you cannot afford to miss.

We discuss:
– The AI Liquidity Trap: Why soaring tech stocks are secretly starving Bitcoin of cash.
– The S&P 500 Illusion: How just seven AI stocks are masking a massive market flatline.
– The Bitcoin Bottom: Why technical indicators point to a potential correction down to $40K.
– The Tech Bubble Trap: Why the government is mathematically forced to keep the AI bubble alive.
