Transcript
- 0:08Speaker 1: Lot's happening this week. We're going to be breaking down bitcoin.
- 0:10Speaker 1: We'll also take a look at a new network for
- 0:13Speaker 1: meme coins that I don't think you guys want to
- 0:15Speaker 1: miss because we could see some market action that I
- 0:19Speaker 1: think you'll like. My name is Paul Baron. Welcome back
- 0:21Speaker 1: into tech Path. Let's dive into it today. As you
- 0:23Speaker 1: guys can see, I am not in studio. Yes, I'm
- 0:27Speaker 1: out at a conference. I actually had a chance to
- 0:30Speaker 1: meet up with some blockchain people. But also I'm at
- 0:33Speaker 1: a conference that is starting to look at blockchain, crypto
- 0:37Speaker 1: and web three technology, possibly to shift one of the
- 0:40Speaker 1: biggest markets out there. More on that later, but I
- 0:42Speaker 1: do want to get into our sponsor today, and of
- 0:45Speaker 1: course that is Tangum. If you guys are looking at
- 0:47Speaker 1: self custody, jump into the Tangent wallet now. The cool
- 0:51Speaker 1: thing about Tangum is that this is coop first card
- 0:56Speaker 1: and app that works fabulously with your phone and and
- 1:00Speaker 1: the nice thing is it's very easy to set up,
- 1:02Speaker 1: it's super secure, and best of all, it's not that expensive.
- 1:06Speaker 1: So make sure and hit that little get Tangent button
- 1:08Speaker 1: right there. This is going to take you to the
- 1:10Speaker 1: three card set get that it's going to give you
- 1:12Speaker 1: an extra backup, and of course use our code down below.
- 1:16Speaker 2: It's going to give you a little bit of a
- 1:17Speaker 2: discount and we'll go from there.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Hey, let's get into a couple of points I want
- 1:21Speaker 1: to talk about today. And one of the things that
- 1:24Speaker 1: I think is important when you look at not only
- 1:27Speaker 1: what the Fed is doing, but also look at the
- 1:30Speaker 1: macro elements that are starting to put some pressure on
- 1:34Speaker 1: not only the economy, but I think on risk assets
- 1:37Speaker 1: as well as traditional assets.
- 1:38Speaker 2: And we're going tot into some of that today.
- 1:39Speaker 1: All right, So one of the articles I want to
- 1:41Speaker 1: hit on right here is the Fed's rate cut cushion.
- 1:44Speaker 1: This is good news for crypto because a couple of
- 1:46Speaker 1: things that are going to be playing in this I'll
- 1:47Speaker 1: zoomed up a little bit for for your consistent view
- 1:50Speaker 1: of Wall Street, is that the Federal Reserve will lower
- 1:53Speaker 1: overnight baring rates from five point three to three today
- 1:57Speaker 1: to three point three to three over the next eighteen months.
- 2:01Speaker 1: This is a pretty big deal.
- 2:02Speaker 2: So this could have.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Two potential factors. One is for the risk markets. The
- 2:07Speaker 1: other that I'm concerned with, of course, is going to
- 2:10Speaker 1: see things around the traditional markets, and this includes securities,
- 2:15Speaker 1: but it is going to affect I think households. Now,
- 2:18Speaker 1: how fast that affects households is the question mark, and
- 2:22Speaker 1: that's the one we're watching very closely. Another thing I
- 2:26Speaker 1: want to jump to is this tweet right here, fed
- 2:28Speaker 1: rate cuts finally coming. We've gone thirteen months since the
- 2:31Speaker 1: last FED rate cut without a cut, marking the secondest
- 2:35Speaker 1: period since nineteen seventies or you know, that's a long time, man.
- 2:39Speaker 1: This is only behind June two thousand and six and
- 2:42Speaker 1: September oh seven, when we saw a fifteen month between
- 2:45Speaker 1: the last rate cut increase for the first reduction. So
- 2:48Speaker 1: that is pretty significant when you look at how long
- 2:52Speaker 1: the FED has held on to these raids. And I
- 2:55Speaker 1: think the one thing that you have to consider right
- 2:58Speaker 1: here is one factor is how fast will the FED cut?
- 3:03Speaker 1: You know, because there's still a potential hope that we
- 3:06Speaker 1: might see a little bit of a move on where
- 3:11Speaker 1: the FED could stop. And what I mean by that
- 3:13Speaker 1: is is it a quarter point, is a half point?
- 3:15Speaker 1: Do we see something that is maybe even more aggressive
- 3:18Speaker 1: going into next year. I want to go to a
- 3:20Speaker 1: clip real click quick, because I think this will give
- 3:22Speaker 1: you an insight of what some of the analysts are
- 3:25Speaker 1: thinking in terms of that trajectory.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Take a look.
- 3:29Speaker 3: Inflation is still about target, and this last part of
- 3:33Speaker 3: the journey is always very difficult. And Jerome Powell should
- 3:37Speaker 3: know that he declared victory last December, only to find
- 3:41Speaker 3: out that in the first quarter of twenty twenty four
- 3:44Speaker 3: inflation perths up again. Whether August turns out to be
- 3:48Speaker 3: significantly higher job creation or not, the Fed is determined
- 3:52Speaker 3: to cut on September eighteenth. I think it is no
- 3:56Speaker 3: longer data dependent. In fact, even though the Fed says
- 4:00Speaker 3: it is data dependent, they want to interpret the data
- 4:05Speaker 3: to suit whatever they want to do. And clearly Jerome
- 4:10Speaker 3: Powell and a few of his colleagues are being itching
- 4:12Speaker 3: for several months to cut rates. Unfortunately it did not
- 4:16Speaker 3: work out in December, and in September of this year
- 4:20Speaker 3: they are going to do it. Somewhat made leslie. So
- 4:23Speaker 3: my expectation is once they do that, you're going to
- 4:26Speaker 3: cast one more of a rally. And now the markets
- 4:30Speaker 3: essentially made the Fed promise bread cut twenty five basis
- 4:35Speaker 3: points is not going to be enough. On September eighteenth.
- 4:38Speaker 3: The market is going to want fifty why not seventy five?
- 4:42Speaker 3: Why not keep increasing cutting it by fifty basis points
- 4:46Speaker 3: every meeting. Problem with it is there is no end
- 4:50Speaker 3: when the Fed becomes a follower rather than the leader
- 4:54Speaker 3: of the market. When you don't have set principles that
- 4:58Speaker 3: you determine interest rates by, the markets are going to
- 5:01Speaker 3: take advantage of it, all right.
- 5:03Speaker 1: So a couple of points there that I want to
- 5:04Speaker 1: get in on, and one is the idea around this issue,
- 5:10Speaker 1: and that is the Federal Reserve's rate cut coot for
- 5:14Speaker 1: financial markets. Now, a lot of people have said before,
- 5:16Speaker 1: and we've had a couple of analysts on our show
- 5:18Speaker 1: before that have talked about this. A couple of points
- 5:21Speaker 1: is that once the Fed starts cutting, could that mean
- 5:25Speaker 1: the decline of the.
- 5:26Speaker 2: Traditional securities market.
- 5:28Speaker 1: Reality is, aggressive cuts from the Fed might not be
- 5:30Speaker 1: as suite a deal for traders, and if the past
- 5:33Speaker 1: is any guy, the rate cuts could end up being
- 5:35Speaker 1: a disaster for both the stock and crypto market. So
- 5:38Speaker 1: there's a couple of different opinions here dueling it out.
- 5:42Speaker 1: But the thing is, as Federal Reserve slashes rates too
- 5:46Speaker 1: much or too fast, it could send a message that
- 5:48Speaker 1: something is seriously wrong with the economy. I don't anticipate
- 5:53Speaker 1: much in the way of a rate cut that is
- 5:57Speaker 1: going to be beyond a quarter point. If we get
- 6:00Speaker 1: something in and beyond a quarter point, I would say
- 6:04Speaker 1: that that means that there is something coming out of
- 6:07Speaker 1: the data the chair pal sees.
- 6:10Speaker 2: Maybe we don't even know what it.
- 6:12Speaker 1: Is, and it could be these jobs numbers, because remember
- 6:14Speaker 1: we saw a huge downturn in the adjustment of jobs,
- 6:18Speaker 1: and if we actually get some truthful data out of
- 6:20Speaker 1: the FED and out of the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
- 6:25Speaker 1: it's possible that we could be going into a very
- 6:27Speaker 1: very dark time around jobs. That's not necessarily said, but
- 6:30Speaker 1: it could move us into a half point. So that's
- 6:32Speaker 1: the point I'm getting at. The half point could actually happen.
- 6:36Speaker 1: If you look at the daily on bitcoin, you'll see
- 6:39Speaker 1: we've got a lot of positive sentiments still, even though
- 6:42Speaker 1: that the market is moving a little bit down on
- 6:45Speaker 1: the day, But we may see this start to turn
- 6:48Speaker 1: out being a good week for bitcoin. So we're watching
- 6:51Speaker 1: this right now. If we see any signals that could
- 6:54Speaker 1: push us down on bitcoin, we'll definitely keep you guys
- 6:57Speaker 1: up to speed on it. Another one that of course
- 6:59Speaker 1: we are watching right now is Solana had a nice
- 7:02Speaker 1: couple of days over the weekend, running up to one
- 7:04Speaker 1: hundred and almost sixty actually I think it hit one
- 7:07Speaker 1: sixty two. So again, very bullish right now on Solana,
- 7:11Speaker 1: even though on the daily it's looking bearish on the
- 7:15Speaker 1: trailing stop, but if you go into the four hour,
- 7:18Speaker 1: let me paint that up for you guys, and you
- 7:20Speaker 1: can kind of see something this starts get to a
- 7:22Speaker 1: little bit more bullish on the trailing stop and money
- 7:25Speaker 1: flow is moving in a little bit. Plus you have
- 7:28Speaker 1: overall sentiment metrics showing nicely. So a couple of things
- 7:31Speaker 1: I would look at right now is how does all
- 7:35Speaker 1: of this play out for this week? If people are
- 7:37Speaker 1: trading this week, what would be the things that you're
- 7:40Speaker 1: watching a couple to kind of keep an eye on.
- 7:43Speaker 1: And this is something you've probably seen us talk about
- 7:45Speaker 1: on tron is you've got to start looking at is
- 7:48Speaker 1: there a meme coin ecosystem that's going to start running
- 7:51Speaker 1: and or are we going to see some big announcements
- 7:55Speaker 1: coming in from some of these changes, Because timing around
- 7:57Speaker 1: these rate cuts around what we'll see maybe with a
- 8:02Speaker 1: pretty bullish fall and a lot of these events, Remember
- 8:06Speaker 1: ripple swell, Avalanche has their summit, You've got Salana holding
- 8:11Speaker 1: break point, You've got Token forty nine. All of that's
- 8:14Speaker 1: happening in the next sixty days. So don't sleep on
- 8:18Speaker 1: some of these moves. We're going to see some action.
- 8:20Speaker 1: Let's go over and continue on here. I want to
- 8:21Speaker 1: kind of break into a couple or other elements here.
- 8:25Speaker 1: All right, so I want to jump over to this
- 8:27Speaker 1: statement right here, we're not bullish enough. Percentage of ethereum
- 8:31Speaker 1: held on centralized exchange is now hit a new all
- 8:33Speaker 1: time low. Everybody is parking ethereum. That means it's long term.
- 8:38Speaker 1: They're ready in for the ride, and people are locked
- 8:41Speaker 1: and loaded. Are you still buying ethereum? Are you trying
- 8:44Speaker 1: to do any accumulation? This may be the thing that
- 8:47Speaker 1: we continue to see some move on supply shock for ethereum.
- 8:51Speaker 1: Now I think to get supply shock, we're probably gonna
- 8:53Speaker 1: have to see the ETF move a little harder.
- 8:56Speaker 2: The other thing that's.
- 8:56Speaker 1: Going to play into this is the political landscape. And
- 8:59Speaker 1: of course RFK Junior joined the Trump campaign and withdrew
- 9:04Speaker 1: from the twenty twenty four presidential election. We kind of
- 9:07Speaker 1: saw this coming and that, of course, is if you
- 9:09Speaker 1: were following our crypto tracker on politics. He had been
- 9:14Speaker 1: falling a lot in the crypto community, so it started
- 9:17Speaker 1: to become a two horse race. And if you look
- 9:18Speaker 1: at poly market, let me jump over to poly market
- 9:21Speaker 1: real quick. Polymarket currently has as of recording right now,
- 9:24Speaker 1: and this jumps around a lot. Trump is edging up
- 9:27Speaker 1: slightly f fifty percent over forty nine with Harris's campaign,
- 9:32Speaker 1: and this is where we're going to probably see a
- 9:33Speaker 1: lot more independent voters start to move into the Republican camp.
- 9:37Speaker 2: Again.
- 9:37Speaker 1: I know that that may not sit well for many
- 9:40Speaker 1: of you, but this is the issue I think we're
- 9:42Speaker 1: going to be facing, all right. So let's go into
- 9:43Speaker 1: another area, and this is going in a little bit
- 9:45Speaker 1: deeper on Tron and why we're looking at this chain
- 9:50Speaker 1: very closely right now because there are some key significant
- 9:53Speaker 1: things and I want to share my screen here with
- 9:55Speaker 1: you guys and go a little deeper into the.
- 9:59Speaker 2: Coin market cap.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Now we'll jump over to coin market cap and let's
- 10:03Speaker 1: go down here to what's happening with Tron. Let me
- 10:06Speaker 1: zoom in on that right there, guys, ton coin and
- 10:09Speaker 1: I understand, yes, Pavel got arrested in France. We understand
- 10:13Speaker 1: that that's the founder of Telegram ton Coin, the association there.
- 10:17Speaker 1: We saw the drop off. You had a twenty percent
- 10:19Speaker 1: rundown on ton coin. Yes, that's the situation. Tron of
- 10:23Speaker 1: course flip. But really Tront has flipped both Cardono and
- 10:27Speaker 1: ton coins, so let's just make that clear.
- 10:29Speaker 2: Tron is on the move. And there's been a lot.
- 10:31Speaker 1: Of activity over the weekend on many of the meme coins.
- 10:34Speaker 1: And I'll just go over to this tweet right here,
- 10:36Speaker 1: because if you look at some of the things that
- 10:38Speaker 1: are out there, actually it's this article right here. I
- 10:40Speaker 1: want to go to sun Pump. The surge shifts are
- 10:43Speaker 1: focusing from Solana to Tron. Solana's pumped dot fun saw
- 10:48Speaker 1: forty seven percent drop in launches, hitting five month low.
- 10:51Speaker 1: But guess who is growing and that is.
- 10:56Speaker 2: Pump.
- 10:56Speaker 1: Sunpump is what we're probably going to see moving into
- 10:59Speaker 1: the layer of where Tron picks up the you know,
- 11:04Speaker 1: the baton when it comes to meme coins, and there's
- 11:07Speaker 1: a handful of them that I think we of course
- 11:09Speaker 1: have been watching. If you guys are in the diamond circle,
- 11:11Speaker 1: get in there, because we'll drop a few nuggets in
- 11:13Speaker 1: there for information might be moving. I'm growing now at
- 11:18Speaker 1: pumped on funds expense. That's the big one that you
- 11:20Speaker 1: guys need to be a paid and attention to.
- 11:23Speaker 2: And this tweet right here, I.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Think hits it perfectly and that is all eyes on tron.
- 11:28Speaker 1: This from Justin Sun after his interview with Ran over
- 11:31Speaker 1: Crypto Bantery. So I want to jump over to this
- 11:34Speaker 1: WebEx twenty twenty four event. Now there is something that
- 11:38Speaker 1: is very interesting happening at this event. You'll notice that
- 11:42Speaker 1: I'm on the tron stage, okay, and that's, you know,
- 11:46Speaker 1: fairly normal. But if you look at the people who
- 11:49Speaker 1: are involved on the tron stay here, Osake Digital Exchange
- 11:55Speaker 1: Securities Groups, the Chief Executive Officer of Digital Securityation Department,
- 12:01Speaker 1: the Senior Managing Executive officer of the SBI, which is
- 12:04Speaker 1: essentially like our sec There's YACHTSU and then of course
- 12:08Speaker 1: right there the tron keynote by Justin Sun. Will we
- 12:12Speaker 1: see something happening at this event, because it's happening right now,
- 12:17Speaker 1: and one of the things that I'm watching is what's
- 12:20Speaker 1: happening over here on the Bitflyer stage. And this is
- 12:23Speaker 1: the Prime Minister of Japan, and of course the EMMYTI
- 12:28Speaker 1: Minister also available and going to be there. And let's
- 12:31Speaker 1: don't forget that Sonium's CEO is at the event as well.
- 12:36Speaker 1: We reported on this last week. Soniums starting to plug
- 12:40Speaker 1: into a handful of blockchains and most likely we're going
- 12:43Speaker 1: to see some action there.
- 12:44Speaker 2: So just be aware, guys.
- 12:46Speaker 1: There are some huge issues starting to brew over at
- 12:50Speaker 1: WebEx and all this could play into a big future
- 12:54Speaker 1: for a lot of these blockchains going forward. So the
- 12:57Speaker 1: way to keep ahead of this is subscribe.
