Speaking with Nathalie Brunell in a June 6 interview, the macro analyst said he has not materially rebuilt the Bitcoin position he previously reduced. “I nibbled a little bit,” Gromen said, but added that he has “not really bought back in in any real way.” The reason, he suggested, is that Bitcoin’s recent price action may be signaling something important about liquidity, market structure and the political sensitivity of hard-asset signals.
