Could you think about if somebody needed to dump $100 billion?”
“This is that form of center of the street, unsure if whales begin liquidating and we see $35,000 or, folks purchase the dip and we might see it go all the way in which as much as $75,000.”

But then we obtained affirmation, I would not be stunned if extra information about that got here and it continued to run. People like CLOV, Wallstreet Bets likes CLOV and it is oversold.” Knight stated.
