Q & A

  • What was the initial sentiment in the cryptocurrency market a week ago?

    -A week ago, the sentiment in the cryptocurrency market was high, with technicals looking good based on the speaker's system, but this analysis did not pan out as expected.

  • What happened after Sunday that affected the Bitcoin market?

    -After Sunday, there was a movement or sale of around 10 billion in Bitcoin supply without any help from ETFs, which significantly impacted the Bitcoin market.

  • What is the relationship between the VIX volatility index and Bitcoin's performance?

    -When the VIX volatility index is up significantly, Bitcoin usually performs poorly, as indicated by historical data showing a correlation between high VIX levels and Bitcoin's downturns.

  • How did the unemployment data affect the market sentiment?

    -The unemployment data was weak, which triggered the 'Som rule' and brought about the potential for a recession, contributing to a worsening market sentiment.

  • What is the significance of the leveraged trade involving JPY and US equities?

    -The leveraged trade involving borrowing JPY to buy US equities is significant because it involves billions, and potentially trillions, of dollars. When there are changes in interest rate differentials or forced unwinding of these trades, it can cause substantial market disruptions.

  • What is a 'death cross' in the context of trading?

    -A 'death cross' in trading refers to a situation where a short-term moving average, such as the 50-day moving average, crosses below a long-term moving average, like the 200-day moving average, indicating a potential bearish trend.

  • What does the speaker suggest as a potential safe haven during market turmoil?

    -The speaker suggests that gold and bond ETFs like TLT, TMF, and AGG could serve as safe havens during market turmoil, as they have shown potential for growth despite the overall market downturn.

  • What is the potential impact of a central bank intervention on the cryptocurrency market?

    -A central bank intervention, such as liquidity reinjection into the ecosystem, could potentially stabilize or even boost the cryptocurrency market, as it did post-SVB with the BTFP (Bank Term Funding Program).

  • What is the current state of the altcoins according to the speaker?

    -The speaker indicates that altcoins have been in a downtrend for a long time, with the charts not signaling any buy opportunities, and they are currently experiencing a significant downturn.

  • What is the significance of the 'Golden Cross' in trading?

    -A 'Golden Cross' occurs when a short-term moving average crosses above a long-term moving average, signaling a potential bullish trend and is considered a positive sign for traders.

  • How does the speaker view the current situation with ETFs and Bitcoin?

    -The speaker expresses skepticism about the impact of ETFs on Bitcoin's price, noting that despite the introduction of ETFs, the market has not shown significant positive movement and may even face further unwinding pressures.

πŸ“‰ Bitcoin's Struggle Amidst Market Turmoil

The script discusses the challenges Bitcoin faces as it grapples with a series of negative events impacting the market. Starting with a recap of the week's events, it mentions a significant sell-off in Bitcoin, lack of support from ETFs, and a substantial amount of Bitcoin supply being moved or sold. The speaker also touches on broader financial market issues, such as the interest rate differential between the Bank of Japan and the Federal Reserve, the potential for a more painful trade if rates rise further, and the domino effect of leverage unwinding. The script also notes the impact of unemployment data, the VIX volatility index's rise, and the general risk-off sentiment in the market, all contributing to Bitcoin's downward pressure.

05:02

🌐 Global Liquidity and Bitcoin's Correlation Challenges

This paragraph delves into the complexities of global liquidity and its effects on Bitcoin. It discusses the negative correlation between Bitcoin and traditional markets during upward movements and the current situation where both are negatively correlated, making it difficult for Bitcoin to gain. The speaker anticipates that market stabilization may require central bank intervention and notes the potential for a liquidity reinjection similar to the response to the SVB crisis. The paragraph also mentions the sponsor Kraken Pro and its features for advanced professional traders, emphasizing the importance of risk management in the current volatile market conditions.

10:03

πŸ“‰ The Unfolding Bearish Scenario for Bitcoin and Other Assets

The speaker outlines a bearish market scenario, highlighting the potential for further unwinding of bullish bets as the VIX spikes, affecting currency values and Bitcoin's performance. The paragraph discusses the possibility of a 'death cross' for Bitcoin, which could attract negative media attention, and the importance of watching for potential central bank interventions. It also touches on the seasonal weakness in Q3 for Bitcoin and the potential for a Golden Cross in Q4, which could signal a market turnaround. The speaker advises caution, especially with leverage, and suggests waiting for clearer bullish patterns before entering the market.

15:03

πŸ“Š Analyzing Market Indicators and Potential Safe Havens

This section of the script provides an analysis of various market indicators and potential safe havens during times of market stress. It discusses bond market trends, suggesting that investments like TLT, TMF, and SHY may offer protection against a risk-off rally. The speaker also considers gold as a potential safe haven, despite its recent decline from highs, and notes the importance of monitoring the VIX and its historical relationship with Bitcoin. The paragraph concludes with a warning about the risks of a global unwind, suggesting that the market may open significantly lower on Monday.

20:04

🚫 Caution and Patience in the Face of Market Volatility

The final paragraph emphasizes the need for caution and patience in the current market environment. It discusses the potential for further declines in various asset classes, including cryptocurrencies, and the importance of avoiding buying into weakness when there is significant uncertainty. The speaker suggests waiting for clearer bullish signals, such as a falling wedge or an inverted Head and Shoulders pattern, before considering re-entry into the market. The paragraph concludes with a reminder of the importance of risk management and a note of encouragement for traders to stay vigilant and informed.

Keywords

πŸ’‘Educational purposes

The term 'Educational purposes' refers to content that is intended to inform or instruct, rather than to provide financial guidance or advice. In the video's context, the speaker clarifies that the analysis and discussions are for learning and understanding market dynamics, not as a directive for investment decisions. This is exemplified by the speaker's initial statement, setting the tone for the video's content.

πŸ’‘Sentiment

Sentiment in the context of finance refers to the overall attitude or tone of investors toward a particular security or market. The speaker mentions 'high sentiment' to describe a period of positive investor outlook which influenced their analysis, indicating a time when the market was optimistic despite the speaker's later realization that this sentiment did not materialize into positive market outcomes.

πŸ’‘Technicals

Technicals are a category of analytical methods used by traders to evaluate securities, primarily based on historical price and volume data. The speaker defends their analysis based on 'technicals', which suggests they used chart patterns, moving averages, and other technical indicators to make predictions about market movements, which unfortunately did not play out as expected.

πŸ’‘Supply moved or sold

In the context of this video, 'supply moved or sold' refers to a large amount of Bitcoin being transferred or liquidated in the market. The speaker cites an instance of approximately 10 billion in Bitcoin supply being moved or sold, which indicates a significant shift in the market that can affect prices and investor confidence.

πŸ’‘ETFs

ETFs, or Exchange-Traded Funds, are investment funds that are traded on stock exchanges, much like individual stocks. The speaker mentions that they 'didn't get any help from the ETFs', suggesting that these funds did not contribute positively to the market situation being discussed, possibly due to lack of buying support or other market influences.

πŸ’‘Leverage

Leverage in finance refers to the use of borrowed capital to increase the potential return of an investment. The video discusses the unwinding of leverage, which is the process of closing leveraged positions, often due to market downturns or margin calls. The speaker implies that the leverage unwinding contributed to the market's rapid and significant decline.

πŸ’‘Volatility index (VIX)

The Volatility Index, or VIX, is a measure of market expectations for near-term volatility conveyed by S&P 500 index options. The speaker notes that when the VIX is up significantly, as it was during the video's timeframe, it typically indicates a fearful market, which historically has had a negative impact on Bitcoin and other assets.

πŸ’‘Correlation

Correlation in finance refers to the extent to which the returns or value of one asset move in relation to another. The speaker discusses the negative correlation between Bitcoin and the traditional market, indicating that when one goes up, the other tends to go down, and vice versa. This relationship has implications for diversification and risk management in an investment portfolio.

πŸ’‘Liquidity

Liquidity refers to the ability to buy or sell an asset quickly without affecting its price. The video mentions 'global liquidity sloshing around', which suggests the movement of large amounts of cash in and out of markets, affecting asset prices. The speaker implies that this liquidity movement is causing market instability.

πŸ’‘Seasonality

Seasonality in finance refers to patterns in financial markets that recur at approximately the same time of the year. The speaker refers to 'seasonality' to explain that certain times of the year, such as Q3, have historically weaker market performance, which may be a factor in the current market conditions.

πŸ’‘Death cross

A 'death cross' occurs when a short-term moving average, such as the 50-day moving average, crosses below a long-term moving average, like the 200-day moving average. This is often interpreted as a bearish signal, indicating that a downward trend may continue. The speaker mentions the potential for a death cross in the crypto market, suggesting a further negative outlook.

Sunday what a couple days it has been

play00:09

that's for sure what a week it has been

play00:12

a week ago we were at 70 albe at coming

play00:15

off of some high

play00:17

sentiment

play00:19

technicals based on my system looked

play00:21

good so I'll defend that analysis it

play00:25

just uh didn't pan out obviously what

play00:28

did we have after Sunday we had

play00:30

something around 10 billion in Bitcoin

play00:33

Supply moved or sold didn't get any help

play00:37

from the ETFs either last week and we

play00:40

had at least we'll call it half a Year's

play00:44

Bitcoin issuance moved Andor sold last

play00:47

week right that's after the weeks prior

play00:52

Germany other GA stuff miners so it's

play00:56

just one thing after another with the

play00:59

supply unlock at this level even still

play01:01

we were holding 65 is high 50s low to

play01:06

mid to Upper 60s right it was it's a

play01:09

massive range the issue this week wasn't

play01:12

necessarily on our end it was aided by

play01:16

the Legacy side exploding when people

play01:19

talk about bull markets climbing a wall

play01:21

of worry this is what they're worried

play01:24

about things like this this domino

play01:26

effect of Leverage unwinding Lon held

play01:31

beliefs about how the world Works

play01:33

unwinding and changing very quickly the

play01:36

Dynamics of this involved the interest

play01:38

rate differential between the bank of

play01:40

Japan and the fed the bank of Japan

play01:43

raising rates already the FED probably

play01:46

cutting rates in September will make

play01:48

this trade even more painful so if we do

play01:52

get rates higher later on and all the

play01:55

leverage isn't rinsed out by then things

play01:57

could get even worse we're talking about

play02:00

about well over hundreds of

play02:02

billions in the trillions as far as

play02:04

leveraged is concerned borrowing

play02:07

JPY buying us equities effectively and

play02:10

all this stuff is sort of related we had

play02:13

unemployment data which I think most

play02:16

sane people expect it to be weak it was

play02:19

weak it did trigger the Som rule which

play02:21

brings about this recession potential

play02:25

that I think we' talked about plenty on

play02:27

this channel and so from there things

play02:29

just got worse and worse wor and worse

play02:30

and worse and now we've got this risk

play02:31

off reality we've got the vix volatility

play02:34

index up bigly last week anytime the vix

play02:37

is up big Bitcoin you is usually down

play02:39

big I have a chart on this but the last

play02:41

time we saw the vix at this level was

play02:43

when svb blew up in March 2023 we've got

play02:46

big Tech and semiconductors unraveling

play02:49

we'll take a look at that the Middle

play02:50

East War escalation is just one more

play02:52

thing right it's it's this and this and

play02:56

this and this and that it's everything

play02:58

together that is not not helpful here so

play03:02

in some ways it's kind of a miracle

play03:04

where we are even where we're at today

play03:07

whatever price it is when you watch this

play03:09

video it was bouncing around 54 55k last

play03:13

I checked probably not significant for

play03:16

price but also unhelpful is again this

play03:20

is for Bitcoin not for the country not

play03:22

for people who live here but Biden

play03:24

dropping out and Trump re-election odds

play03:27

dropping significantly because previous

play03:29

ly they were essentially

play03:32

100% And I'd say effectively now it's

play03:35

certainly closer to 50/50 so everything

play03:38

together is not helping us and if you

play03:40

want the receipts on coins moving uh

play03:43

Arkham is a decent source for that I

play03:46

posted this on Twitter yesterday so just

play03:48

outside of everything else that's

play03:51

blowing up in Legacy we've got tons of

play03:54

coins moving around we also had jump

play03:56

throughout the weekend selling which it

play03:59

looks like they could have been

play04:01

purposefully pushing the price down I

play04:03

don't think it's necessarily

play04:05

manipulation but they're big enough to

play04:07

do that so that obviously is not helpful

play04:11

either on the other side of the coin we

play04:12

do have sailor coming in potentially you

play04:15

know this isn't like going to save price

play04:17

or anything but potentially coming in

play04:20

with a $2 billion purchase eventually I

play04:23

certainly hope he hasn't already done

play04:25

that he's just like you at home he's

play04:27

dcing a billion at a time and his far as

play04:30

quantifying the carry trade unwind

play04:34

another way to think about it is a long

play04:37

on usdjpy getting margin called or being

play04:41

closed and then all of the downstream

play04:43

effects because again we're not talking

play04:46

about a few hundred dollars here we're

play04:47

talking about billions and the trillions

play04:49

of dollars potentially I saw one figure

play04:52

quoting 20 trillion I don't have the

play04:55

hard numbers behind that but that's

play04:57

significant how this works is when this

play04:59

stuff start start to happen let's say

play05:01

you work in a shop that's it's

play05:05

specializes in these types of Trades

play05:07

they become a price agnostic seller or

play05:11

just removing that risk from the book

play05:12

when the vix spikes we have similar

play05:15

Downstream effects so all of these

play05:17

bearish bets will slowly start to unwind

play05:19

and the lower us u.j goes the more these

play05:23

will have to be unw Unwound so it's just

play05:26

more pain on top of pain as the u.j just

play05:29

ERS this is a currency which is wild it

play05:32

was Wild on the way up it's a Wilder on

play05:34

the way down and the problem for Bitcoin

play05:37

is we were

play05:39

correlated negatively inversely on the

play05:41

way up and now we're even correlated on

play05:44

the way down so we really can't win we

play05:46

are just sort of a dingy in the

play05:48

hurricane of global liquidity sloshing

play05:50

around in both directions so this stuff

play05:53

really needs to calm down before things

play05:55

can get constructive again and that may

play05:57

take intervention by both central banks

play06:01

that may take reversing a rate hike by

play06:03

the UJ it may take some sort of swap

play06:05

line something from the US potentially

play06:08

much like svb post the btfp when the

play06:13

liquidity got reinjected into the

play06:15

ecosystem that's when Bitcoin did well

play06:17

but we had to eat some significant pain

play06:20

until that happened looking at dxy you

play06:23

would think in a vacuum if I told you

play06:26

hey dxy is going from 105 to 103

play06:29

this should be bullish for BTC should be

play06:32

but there are other players on the field

play06:35

here causing quite the Ruckus before I

Ventures Inc pvi DBA Kraken Kraken does

play07:06

have a few Forex markets for those

play07:09

wondering looking to dabble certainly uh

play07:13

probably a bit late but outside of paxg

play07:16

the gold stable coin there's the Euro

play07:18

there there are places to hide okay

play07:20

there should you want to now it's a bit

play07:22

late seeing most of these coins down 10%

play07:26

plus and we're seeing the usual thing

play07:29

that we in that alts are beta to BTC BTC

play07:32

down in a rolling 24-hour period 11%

play07:37

alts down 20% 18% right significantly

play07:41

more than BTC outside of salana but

play07:43

salana had a pretty significant unwind

play07:47

likely also jump related for the people

play07:50

looking on chain a lot of this was

play07:52

related to uh a jump unwind along with

play07:55

eth I'll get to this chart again later

play07:57

but this is quite lug eth quite ugly

play08:01

just a nasty Wick sub 2K year to dat eth

play08:06

is flat now if I would have told you

play08:09

first that we would get ETFs at all and

play08:11

then post ETF we would be flat year to

play08:13

date you'd be shocked probably most

play08:16

people uh we still have e BT or E to

play08:19

deal with as far as the unwind there

play08:22

there may be further unwind from the

play08:24

ETFs this week we still have a US

play08:26

session Monday for more fun and the hits

play08:29

just keep on coming so I would certainly

play08:32

be very careful with any use of Leverage

play08:35

or anything like that anywhere on

play08:37

anything right now maybe some silver

play08:39

linings here Global liquidity in USD

play08:41

terms is rising significantly because of

play08:46

dxy weakness eventually and that

play08:49

eventually is probably

play08:51

Q4 not August not not September but Q4

play08:56

eventually this should be an ally for us

play08:58

in at least at least the majors in BTC

play09:01

but this contagion risk is significant

play09:04

looking at the unemployment 4.3 that

play09:06

ticked up decently fast at this point

play09:09

and again the issue isn't the absolute

play09:12

level it's the rate of change and what

play09:13

it

play09:15

potentially suggests going forward which

play09:17

would be recessionary type conditions

play09:20

runaway unemployment a hard Landing

play09:23

rates coming down quickly and

play09:25

significantly and out of the ashes will

play09:28

come be BC ready to go but at what price

play09:32

right will we be at the 200 we moving

play09:34

average will we be at 50 60 still I I

play09:39

doubt it I doubt it personally but we

play09:41

could depending on is there stimulus

play09:45

involved anywhere globally China Japan

play09:48

us what does the liquidity picture look

play09:51

like but watching the yield curve

play09:53

uninverted here is scary on top of the

play09:56

rate of change with unemployment now

play09:58

what's going to be thing is if come

play10:00

September or Jackson Hole the FED

play10:02

doesn't signal that they're cutting 50

play10:05

and they cut 25 or unemployment starts

play10:08

to tick back down as some people have

play10:10

suggested maybe this is some seasonality

play10:13

Here If the Fed has less ammo to cut

play10:15

then what happens that's where things

play10:17

are going to get super super interesting

play10:20

but I certainly think we're there on the

play10:21

inflation front for the risk off rally

play10:23

we can look to the bonds markets there

play10:25

are plenty of options here over the past

play10:28

several weeks I've heard almost no one

play10:32

talk about TLT I've listened because

play10:35

I've been very interested in this trade

play10:37

myself it still looks great still looks

play10:39

like a great trade clearly breakout here

play10:41

on the cloud this is what you want to

play10:43

see on any Trend reversal and we can go

play10:47

down the list here this is TMF this is

play10:49

leveraged not quite a breakout but

play10:51

certainly looks ready to go tyd

play10:54

leveraged 10-year ETF looks great and we

play10:58

can at shy the 1 to threee treasury

play11:02

looks great and maybe this is all

play11:04

actually very bearish BTC because if we

play11:07

are truly experiencing recessionary risk

play11:10

on riskof type stuff into bonds then

play11:13

maybe BTC is in more trouble and even I

play11:16

think it is but it's no coincidence that

play11:18

BTC is looks like the opposite of shy

play11:21

you know BTC is an inverted shy

play11:24

basically but this chart looks great as

play11:27

does a ag aggreg

play11:29

Bond ETF is it too late is the question

play11:32

for anyone to rotate into this that's

play11:34

why you certainly have to be sort of

play11:36

paying attention to some of this stuff

play11:38

and rotate early maybe add but uh I I

play11:42

don't think it's too late it's certainly

play11:44

later than you'd want to be rotating

play11:46

into some of this stuff because it's

play11:47

going to open significantly higher

play11:49

probably on Monday but it's a place to

play11:51

hide it's certainly a place to hide gold

play11:55

is another one it's down from the highs

play11:58

of 25 00 but the chart to me still looks

play12:01

fine it still looks like it's trying for

play12:04

eventual 2500 plus breakout much like

play12:08

everything else you just got to be

play12:09

careful with the riskof rally even gold

play12:12

being gold gets caught up in that but

play12:14

it's certainly gone down less than Tech

play12:17

less than everything else so in that

play12:19

regard it's a place to hide out looking

play12:20

at the vix if you look at the vix

play12:22

relative to BTC since btc's Inception

play12:25

anytime we have massive spikes in the

play12:27

vix Bitcoin has a bad time last time the

play12:30

vix was at 30 was March

play12:33

2023 or right there or we tapped 30 on

play12:37

Friday we'll see what we tap on Monday

play12:40

and this just means fear in the market

play12:43

was the vix too low was the vix

play12:45

complacent I don't think so I mean it

play12:47

was hovering between 11 and 20 but

play12:51

because it was so low this is how you

play12:52

see these types of moves being semi

play12:55

surprising semi out of the blue and you

play12:58

get a massive

play12:59

reaction looking at the semis this is

play13:01

smh on Robin Hood was around 208 so it's

play13:04

down from Friday you've got Nvidia back

play13:07

at 100 probably opens under 100 I'd

play13:11

imagine come Monday that's a full Gap

play13:14

fill the issue here is I don't think

play13:17

anybody's excited to buy at 100 they

play13:20

were excited to buy in May but now it

play13:24

goes from looking cheap to looking

play13:25

expensive with everything else unwinding

play13:28

Cloud's not on your side here either

play13:29

it's not on the chart but definitely uh

play13:32

leaning bearish on the cloud there

play13:34

you've got es this is the 4-Hour S&P 500

play13:37

futures also experiencing a significant

play13:41

reversal so when we have this Global

play13:43

unwind you kind of just have to let it

play13:46

do its thing and hope that you weren't

play13:49

caught up in leverage on the other side

play13:51

but I'd expect just about everything

play13:53

across the board to be angry come Monday

play13:56

so that leaves us with crypto we do have

play13:58

a potential

play13:59

death cross coming up which that's going

play14:02

to get a bunch of headlines if it hasn't

play14:04

already we did have a death cross in Q3

play14:08

2023 that quickly changed course I don't

play14:12

think this one will change course as

play14:14

quickly but if in Q4 we see let's say

play14:18

October we see the Golden Cross come

play14:20

October we come out of this and survive

play14:23

that makes the next trade in two months

play14:26

much easier uh but you you can't long on

play14:29

a death cross you can't long on a go on

play14:31

a chart that looks like this you just

play14:33

can't you could say you know what this

play14:35

guy he was bearish he was bullish last

play14:37

week he's bearish today what does he

play14:39

know that's fair but uh that 70k level

play14:43

got rejected pretty swiftly the the one

play14:45

thing that could change course here

play14:47

again is if the central banks coordinate

play14:49

some intervention but that probably

play14:51

takes a little bit more pain across the

play14:53

board and we may see that Monday just

play14:56

like svb right we just had pain

play14:59

and then V bottom I wouldn't bet on that

play15:03

but it's something to watch and

play15:04

something to look for if we get Central

play15:06

Bank intervention another way to look at

play15:08

this we're still in the range I guess

play15:11

we're at the bottom of the range I'm not

play15:12

a range Trader but I'd rather take a

play15:14

stab always at the highs rather than the

play15:16

lows I do not like buying weakness when

play15:19

there's this much uncertainty out there

play15:22

and this measures to the 40s right uh

play15:26

that's just it just is what it is you

play15:27

take the high you take the low you could

play15:30

be slightly less aggressive here and

play15:32

just say it measures to the ETF open

play15:36

level I assume by the time we get there

play15:38

if we get there we will be discussing

play15:40

the 200 we moving average as support but

play15:44

uh not a baseline expectation until we

play15:47

break down in a more significant way

play15:50

even though this has been rather

play15:51

significant looking at the cloud looking

play15:53

at the old Pitchfork starting to get

play15:55

back into the Pitchfork and there's more

play15:57

Confluence for this old old rate of

play15:59

change pre ETFs back into the 40s Cloud

play16:04

briefly tipped from bullish back to

play16:08

bearish and the break of 62 into the

play16:11

cloud was the warning signal but hey

play16:14

next time we get back above the daily

play16:16

Cloud I will be bullish again just like

play16:18

I was bullish back here so that that's

play16:20

not going to change if you look at all

play16:22

the times the daily Club has provided

play16:24

excellent entries and led to

play16:26

continuation versus times like this

play16:28

times like m hey typically you gain five

play16:31

lose two gain 10 lose three gain 15 lose

play16:36

one something like that so I don't think

play16:38

there's any issues with the cloud it's

play16:39

just the swiftness at the Whiplash we go

play16:43

from from 66 plus to 55 right basically

play16:48

in a week just uh always surprising to

play16:52

see that no matter who you are looking

play16:54

at the quarterly returns seasonality or

play16:57

also in a weak seasonal period Q3 the

play17:00

weakest median return since 2013 eth as

play17:04

well back half of the year not generally

play17:07

as bullish as the front half looking at

play17:09

August September specifically for

play17:12

Bitcoin again we are not there's there's

play17:14

really nothing left here outside of

play17:17

Central Bank intervention that can save

play17:19

us I really don't know maybe the ETFs if

play17:23

the ETFs come in with both hands and get

play17:25

excited I doubt we see that but hey

play17:28

that's something else to watch for what

play17:29

would make this worse is obviously more

play17:31

Supply unlocks which why not we've had

play17:34

uh probably Year's worth of BTC selling

play17:36

up here already what's another 10

play17:38

billion amongst friends you know uh

play17:40

looking at eth it had signs of a

play17:43

descending triangle below the cloud and

play17:44

broke down okay what's next you know

play17:48

there's you you could buy this I guess

play17:50

you could buy Sub 2K but you're still

play17:52

dealing with the E on mind I would watch

play17:55

to see what the ETFs do this week but

play17:59

this is not a bullish chart whatsoever

play18:01

really what I'm going to do is watch how

play18:03

this evolves into October let this have

play18:06

its temper tantrum let it throw its

play18:08

Cheerios on the ground whatever and just

play18:10

wait for either a falling wedge an

play18:12

inverted Head and Shoulders a Adam Eve

play18:16

three drives any of that fun stuff that

play18:17

we usually look for it's it's way too

play18:20

early to jump into a chart that looks

play18:22

like this it went nowhere throughout

play18:25

most of 2024 and now it's back to the

play18:27

yearly open there eth BTC almost back to

play18:30

its old level in

play18:33

2021 and almost to the harmonic pattern

play18:38

level if the five people who watched the

play18:41

videos months ago will remember this I

play18:44

hope but still below the 50 we moving

play18:47

average definitely something to watch a

play18:49

the way up sub 04 would be something to

play18:52

watch for an old inverted Head and

play18:55

Shoulders resistance level that could be

play18:57

support but again this is is not

play18:59

conducive for for bullish reversal I

play19:02

know a lot of people were super bullish

play19:04

ebtc well that didn't work out so well

play19:08

uh Soul also kind of cliffing again if

play19:12

you braak here you'd imagine based on

play19:14

the TA sub 100 pretty easily it just

play19:17

really depends on the US session and how

play19:20

deep are we in this unwind are we in the

play19:23

beginning the middle the end I imagine

play19:25

we're past the initial burst but I fear

play19:28

we're not even to the middle of it yet I

play19:30

fear I fear there's there's more to go

play19:32

so that's why I don't think crypto's

play19:34

going to fa too well here over the next

play19:36

two months uh link already broke down

play19:39

I'm just highlighting this one because I

play19:41

had talked about this returning to the

play19:43

October breakout levels that looks very

play19:45

likely for most of these coins on the

play19:47

USD pairs total two breaking down just

play19:52

this parabolic puke falling knives

play19:53

aren't for me so I'm just going to wait

play19:55

this out as are most people I'd imagine

play19:58

just

play19:59

waiting to see what happens where the

play20:01

chips fall alt have been a no-go on the

play20:04

charts for a long time a long long time

play20:08

we've been talking about this chart

play20:10

every Wednesday and not once has it

play20:12

signal to buy not once so hey it's

play20:15

darkest before Dawn and it's getting

play20:17

darker out there so be careful it's all

play20:20
