Latest / The Paul Barron Crypto Show / Bitcoin Breaking Point️🔥Crypto Market Crash Update📉
Transcript
- 0:07Speaker 1: Bitcoin and the crypto markets are crashing today. We're going
- 0:09Speaker 1: to be diving into what is causing all of this mayhem.
- 0:12Speaker 1: You don't want to miss it. My name is Paul Baron.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Welcome back in a tech path. Let's get into it.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Do you want to thank our sponsor today and that
- 0:17Speaker 1: is I Trust Capital. If one thing, and you want
- 0:20Speaker 1: to look at holding crypto for a longer period of time,
- 0:23Speaker 1: kind of going out of the market, getting away from
- 0:25Speaker 1: this craziness. Get into I Trust Capital. All you have
- 0:29Speaker 1: to do is jump over to I Trusscapital dot com.
- 0:31Speaker 1: You can do everything you can in an exchange, but
- 0:34Speaker 1: guess what it's happening inside an IRA and that is
- 0:38Speaker 1: one of the best tax events out there. Always seek
- 0:40Speaker 1: tax advice for that. But if you open an account
- 0:43Speaker 1: with us with I Trust and use our link, you're
- 0:46Speaker 1: going to get one hundred bucks in funding as a
- 0:48Speaker 1: reward to get started. So check it out. Use the
- 0:50Speaker 1: link down below to get started. Let's go over to
- 0:52Speaker 1: a couple of points I want to lead off with here.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Is this the post election rally over? Some people are saying,
- 0:58Speaker 1: is this it is the market over? Is the potential
- 1:01Speaker 1: for us seeing a true four year cycle gone. The
- 1:06Speaker 1: SMP is now trading below November fifth levels. That's the
- 1:09Speaker 1: big attestment here and it's erased almost two and a
- 1:12Speaker 1: half trillion of market cap in four weeks, So a
- 1:16Speaker 1: pretty big pressure cooker right now.
- 1:18Speaker 2: What does this mean?
- 1:19Speaker 1: We're gonna break it all down for you. A couple
- 1:21Speaker 1: of other tweets I want to kind of flow in on.
- 1:24Speaker 1: This is one from Eric Balschunas talking about ETFs. But
- 1:27Speaker 1: he's saying this the whole time, is that the biggest
- 1:29Speaker 1: risk to bitcoin is stocks or boomer markets going down.
- 1:33Speaker 1: This is the price you pay for being hot sauce
- 1:36Speaker 1: in terms of the asset class in when it comes
- 1:39Speaker 1: to ets. But the good news is Trump will probably
- 1:41Speaker 1: bend over backwards to kind of keep the stock market up.
- 1:44Speaker 2: So I would agree with that to a certain extent.
- 1:46Speaker 1: The other thing is is Trump is going to put
- 1:48Speaker 1: pressure to continue to reduce rates. That's the other thing.
- 1:51Speaker 1: We have FOMC coming in at the end of this month,
- 1:54Speaker 1: which a lot of people are calling for a flat.
- 1:56Speaker 1: If that comes in as a flat or no race
- 1:59Speaker 1: or an a no decline in interest, that could be
- 2:02Speaker 1: another factor. And of course Trump will be in office
- 2:04Speaker 1: by then, so we'll probably see a lot of activity.
- 2:07Speaker 1: If you look at the market right now, this is
- 2:09Speaker 1: the traditional SMP fear and greed is literally teetering on
- 2:14Speaker 1: extreme fear. It's the first time we've seen this in
- 2:16Speaker 1: a long time. The other thing is if you look
- 2:18Speaker 1: at the crypto markets this time last month, we were
- 2:22Speaker 1: on extreme greed at eighty three. Look at where we
- 2:26Speaker 1: are right now, hovering around sixty one. We could be
- 2:28Speaker 1: dropping into fear very quickly, even within the bitcoin and
- 2:33Speaker 1: crypto markets. Other factors to compare this to is where
- 2:37Speaker 1: is bitcoin going to be?
- 2:38Speaker 2: Well?
- 2:38Speaker 1: Some analysts are saying sixty nine K is in the cards.
- 2:42Speaker 1: And if you look at a couple of points within
- 2:44Speaker 1: the article here, I want to hit on a few
- 2:45Speaker 1: of these long anticipated by market observers to move. Obviously,
- 2:50Speaker 1: many took daily losses nearly five percent, liquidated more than
- 2:53Speaker 1: half a billion in crypto long positions. A combination of
- 2:56Speaker 1: market nervousness, surging dollar strength, all of this ahead of
- 2:59Speaker 1: the inauguration is all potentially saying, oh, well, maybe this
- 3:04Speaker 1: is the priced in lull right before the storm. That's
- 3:08Speaker 1: what people are kind of hoping for. Bitcoin has a
- 3:10Speaker 1: strong techno support around eighty six.
- 3:12Speaker 2: We'll see if it blasts through that.
- 3:14Speaker 1: This is the area of the sub ninety that I've
- 3:16Speaker 1: been talking about for a little bit, is being concerned
- 3:18Speaker 1: about if we do see a sub ninety, where is
- 3:21Speaker 1: the next stop? Secondary support says it's at around seventy
- 3:25Speaker 1: six K. So we are going to have some traders
- 3:27Speaker 1: later in the week to kind of break this down
- 3:29Speaker 1: for you. Hopefully we'll see a little different action as
- 3:32Speaker 1: we get going in on it.
- 3:33Speaker 2: Now.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Part of this is still the narrative coming in a
- 3:35Speaker 1: Wall Street. One of the big narratives on bitcoin and
- 3:39Speaker 1: has always been this is Jamie Diamond.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Let me go to his clip.
- 3:43Speaker 3: Said that it's as useless as a pet rock.
- 3:47Speaker 2: What do you really think.
- 3:48Speaker 4: You're gonna have some kind of digital currency at one point?
- 3:51Speaker 4: So not against crypto. You know, bitcoin itself has no
- 3:54Speaker 4: intrinsic value. It's used heavily by sex traffickers, money launderers,
- 4:00Speaker 4: ransom we are So I just don't feel great about bitcoin.
- 4:03Speaker 4: I applaud your ability, don't want to buy or sell it,
- 4:05Speaker 4: just like I think you have the right to smoke,
- 4:07Speaker 4: but I don't think you should smoke.
- 4:10Speaker 1: Since he all right, So he's been in that camp
- 4:12Speaker 1: for quite some time. I think he had softened his
- 4:15Speaker 1: position slightly. Metal Lawman kind of hits it up right here.
- 4:18Speaker 1: I never understood Daman James's Bitcoin Ponzi scheme. Take imagine
- 4:21Speaker 1: a ponzi seam like Bernie made Off had put all
- 4:23Speaker 1: his transactions on a public blockchain for everybody to see. Well,
- 4:26Speaker 1: there wouldn't have been a Ponzi scheme at that point,
- 4:29Speaker 1: so it would have.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Been instantly opposed.
- 4:32Speaker 1: So what's fascinating is Jamie Diamond knows how these ponzi
- 4:34Speaker 1: schemes work so far. I wonder why he would keep
- 4:37Speaker 1: calling keep calling Bitcoin a ponzi scheme. So that's something
- 4:40Speaker 1: that of course metal law man and SEC trained attorney
- 4:45Speaker 1: understands where this is going. I want to go into
- 4:47Speaker 1: another clip, and this is Tom Lee. He gets into
- 4:49Speaker 1: a little bit more detail of where the market is going.
- 4:52Speaker 1: And this is kind of a two sided clip.
- 4:54Speaker 2: So take a look. So we got inflation this week.
- 4:57Speaker 2: There are concerns.
- 4:58Speaker 3: I think I tie a lot of the weakness the
- 5:00Speaker 3: market to that.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Are these important numbers?
- 5:03Speaker 5: Uh, It's it's important because as you know, we've been
- 5:06Speaker 5: correcting now for almost a month right, twenty three trading days,
- 5:09Speaker 5: and this Wednesday is an important day because it is
- 5:13Speaker 5: a possible turning point for markets, and I would like
- 5:17Speaker 5: to see CPI come in below you know, zero point
- 5:20Speaker 5: two five or so, and I think that would give
- 5:22Speaker 5: that jolt to confidence for markets. On top of I
- 5:25Speaker 5: think earnings, which is going to be a positive catalyst.
- 5:29Speaker 5: But for investors in the near term, I think they
- 5:32Speaker 5: got to ride out the volatility because I think yields
- 5:34Speaker 5: here have made people nervous.
- 5:36Speaker 1: What is the movement in bitcoin stadium?
- 5:39Speaker 3: So we're ninety one thousand, What is that?
- 5:41Speaker 4: What is that a signal or a sign of anything
- 5:43Speaker 4: in this sort of analysis stupid.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Fed Yeah, cuttings.
- 5:48Speaker 5: Yeah, bitcoins down roughly fifteen percent from its highs, which
- 5:52Speaker 5: for a hyperviotyal acid is a pretty normal correction and
- 5:55Speaker 5: it is slightly following global liquidity.
- 5:58Speaker 2: But we're pretty early in this half cycles.
- 6:00Speaker 5: So to me, I think bitcoin in the near term Again,
- 6:04Speaker 5: our technician thinks seventy thousand is where we can sort
- 6:07Speaker 5: of make a stand. Means you're getting a big opportunity
- 6:10Speaker 5: because I think bitcoin's going to be one of the
- 6:12Speaker 5: best performing assets.
- 6:13Speaker 1: All right, So as you can see the pressure on
- 6:15Speaker 1: the market is mounting in a big way. And I
- 6:18Speaker 1: would say this, guys, is that Wednesday, this week we
- 6:21Speaker 1: get the CPI numbers that Lee was representing there. This
- 6:24Speaker 1: could possibly be the biggest day of trading that we've seen,
- 6:28Speaker 1: maybe as far back as six months ago when the
- 6:31Speaker 1: Fed really was starting to be in the.
- 6:33Speaker 2: Heyday of cutting.
- 6:34Speaker 1: And I also think that we are probably not going
- 6:36Speaker 1: to see as many cuts, if any, in twenty twenty five.
- 6:40Speaker 1: That will put some pressure on the dollar. If we
- 6:42Speaker 1: do see the dollar start to dip, which I think
- 6:45Speaker 1: is really a narrative that Trump needs, is the dollar
- 6:48Speaker 1: to a weeken slightly because of the opportunity you know
- 6:52Speaker 1: in many of the other asset classes, including securities like
- 6:55Speaker 1: stock market. That's the big factor that plays out on this.
- 6:58Speaker 1: All of that being said, you still have another major
- 7:01Speaker 1: issue that's happening this week and next, and that is
- 7:04Speaker 1: TikTok's ban.
- 7:05Speaker 2: This could really happen.
- 7:06Speaker 1: This is only five days away, and of course Frank
- 7:10Speaker 1: McCort Kevin O'Leary making a heavy charge into Trump Land
- 7:15Speaker 1: to try to get this positioned up as a transition
- 7:18Speaker 1: of divesting TikTok to a US company. That US company
- 7:23Speaker 1: also tied to a potential blockchain project on Polka dot
- 7:27Speaker 1: All that is playing into the market. The other thing
- 7:29Speaker 1: that's playing into the market right now is Bitcoin continues
- 7:32Speaker 1: to get purchased by micro Strategy, and now they're grading up,
- 7:36Speaker 1: grabbing up more now surpassing four hundred and fifty thousand
- 7:39Speaker 1: bitcoin overall. And if you look at that in comparison,
- 7:43Speaker 1: I think they're just not slowing down in terms of
- 7:44Speaker 1: acquisition of bitcoin. And it didn't even move the market,
- 7:48Speaker 1: in fact, if it barely made a dense So I
- 7:50Speaker 1: think I wonder if we are at a point where
- 7:53Speaker 1: the market is more concerned about macro rather than the
- 7:57Speaker 1: narratives that are being painted out there within the market overall.
- 8:01Speaker 1: Let me know what you guys think. By the way,
- 8:03Speaker 1: if you're not subscribed to the channel, make sure and
- 8:04Speaker 1: do that right now. I want to get your opinions
- 8:06Speaker 1: on do you think that the market is going to
- 8:09Speaker 1: continue to push downward like what Lee is representing, or
- 8:13Speaker 1: do you think this is just a short period of
- 8:16Speaker 1: a lull in January that we've seen before in these
- 8:19Speaker 1: four year cycles. Let me know what commons down below.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Other thing to watch right now is the US dollar.
- 8:25Speaker 1: The Dixie is now surpassing the one ten level for
- 8:27Speaker 1: the first time since November twenty twenty two. This will
- 8:30Speaker 1: have an effect on bitcoin, gold, other commodities out there,
- 8:34Speaker 1: other things that play around.
- 8:35Speaker 6: This.
- 8:35Speaker 1: US dollar peaked right around Trump's first inauguration. We saw that,
- 8:39Speaker 1: and of course we saw the adjustment off of that.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Of course that was a different time. And then of
- 8:44Speaker 1: course you have to look at this right here, and
- 8:45Speaker 1: that is the US Treasury Secretary. This is Scott Bess
- 8:49Speaker 1: and he's coming in. This will be replacement of janety
- 8:51Speaker 1: Eellen owns about five hundred thousand worth of bitcoin, not
- 8:55Speaker 1: that much but in reality because this guy's close to
- 8:57Speaker 1: a billionaire, I believe. But the interesting thing is the
- 9:00Speaker 1: fact that he does own it, and I think that is.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Still a value.
- 9:04Speaker 1: I still believe we're probably going to see some attack
- 9:08Speaker 1: on the valuation of gold to try to because remember
- 9:11Speaker 1: that Besson is going after his three pronged attack on
- 9:15Speaker 1: trying to adjust the economic condition of the United States.
- 9:19Speaker 1: So a lot to be watching what the new incoming
- 9:21Speaker 1: Treasury of Secretary Treasure comes in and what he's going
- 9:26Speaker 1: to be doing. I want to go to another clip
- 9:27Speaker 1: real quick, because this is the dollar versus technology.
- 9:31Speaker 3: Take a look the rising dollar. I'm looking at a
- 9:33Speaker 3: one week chart of the dollar. It's up about one
- 9:34Speaker 3: and a half percent. These are tremendous moves when it
- 9:37Speaker 3: comes to a currency. We did get a spike after
- 9:39Speaker 3: the Jaws report, but still it was still moving higher
- 9:41Speaker 3: last week overall, but we have seen a lot of
- 9:43Speaker 3: weakness in tech.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Day and let's just be fair.
- 9:44Speaker 3: Tech has to be the engine moving it forward. So
- 9:47Speaker 3: if we go to the next FED meeting coming up
- 9:49Speaker 3: later this month and the FED continues to be hawkish,
- 9:52Speaker 3: you see that continuing to impact the tech trade, because
- 9:54Speaker 3: that seems to be the inflection point even for the
- 9:56Speaker 3: tech trade, even though we call these stocks defensive just
- 9:59Speaker 3: because of their bulletproof you know, cash holdings and everything else.
- 10:04Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 10:04Speaker 6: Look, and that's also why you have a diversified view
- 10:06Speaker 6: in terms of whether it's an oracle, whether it's a Microsoft,
- 10:09Speaker 6: and some of the more high growth themes like a
- 10:11Speaker 6: pound tier tests and others.
- 10:13Speaker 2: Look, it's going to be aheadwind.
- 10:14Speaker 6: But our playbook the last few years has been you
- 10:18Speaker 6: use these opportunities to own the winners. And that's why
- 10:21Speaker 6: I get the bears are going to come out right now.
- 10:23Speaker 6: The bond market the ten years is going to ultimately dominate.
- 10:26Speaker 6: But we're only halfway through Tech bowl market. And that's
- 10:29Speaker 6: why I still believe tech stocks are up twenty five
- 10:31Speaker 6: percent this year.
- 10:32Speaker 2: We look back at this.
- 10:33Speaker 6: As an opportunity, not time to hit the elevator and
- 10:36Speaker 6: ultimately hit the exit.
- 10:37Speaker 1: All right, So, as you can see from Maclip, they
- 10:39Speaker 1: were really kind of in a bit of a disarray
- 10:41Speaker 1: as to how this is going to truly play out.
- 10:44Speaker 1: Kobec kind of hits on this. US tech stocks performing
- 10:46Speaker 1: at almost two x ratio, doubled over the last five years,
- 10:50Speaker 1: and if you look at this compared to the two
- 10:51Speaker 1: thousand and eight financial crisis, US tech stocks still outperformed
- 10:55Speaker 1: its global peers by almost five x. So very interesting
- 10:59Speaker 1: times ahead as as we start to play into the
- 11:01Speaker 1: market with the strength of AI, with the strength of
- 11:04Speaker 1: the potential of digital assets playing into the market. I
- 11:08Speaker 1: still think technology is going to break out and be
- 11:11Speaker 1: one of the big stories for the year. With that
- 11:14Speaker 1: being the case, you've got Donald Trump Junior coming in.
- 11:16Speaker 1: He's taken a role advising the prediction market. Cal She,
- 11:19Speaker 1: remember cal She is the competitor to polymarket, So the
- 11:23Speaker 1: US competitor to poly market. So very interesting that we
- 11:26Speaker 1: have Trump Junior stepping into this to assess how this
- 11:29Speaker 1: is going to assess or impact politics and elections. Remember,
- 11:34Speaker 1: mid terms are going to be a big part of
- 11:35Speaker 1: this coming in just eighteen months away. As we start
- 11:38Speaker 1: to see things line up for the next election. One
- 11:42Speaker 1: of the things to look at while market maldown is
- 11:44Speaker 1: happening is RP. XRP has been able to hold and
- 11:47Speaker 1: of course it's broken a new pattern here, so it's
- 11:49Speaker 1: definitely in a new discovery zone. We're going to be
- 11:52Speaker 1: watching XARP very closely.
- 11:53Speaker 2: We we'll get another video out to you guys this
- 11:55Speaker 2: week as well. Other things to look at.
- 11:58Speaker 1: If you think about XRP is where does it line
- 12:00Speaker 1: up right now on market cap.
- 12:01Speaker 2: Well, if you look at.
- 12:02Speaker 1: Eth and XRP, if it continues at a pace that
- 12:07Speaker 1: compares to ethereum, when you look at the trade on
- 12:10Speaker 1: this is the Eth, this is the monthly chart on
- 12:13Speaker 1: Eth XRP, that is the difference in the performance between
- 12:17Speaker 1: these two assets. Could we see XRP actually become the
- 12:21Speaker 1: number two token. That's a big question for everybody. Last
- 12:25Speaker 1: up of course I want to hit on. Is analysts
- 12:27Speaker 1: looking at XRP looking excellent as it predicts another rally
- 12:31Speaker 1: for the large cap and I think there's a couple
- 12:33Speaker 1: of points within here maybe ready to spark a little
- 12:36Speaker 1: bit of a step up and again very bullish compared
- 12:39Speaker 1: to its last time that it started back in November.
- 12:42Speaker 1: Every time I start doubting whether it's going to blow
- 12:44Speaker 1: off top or Crypto, I look to the XRP chart
- 12:46Speaker 1: and then everybody says, yeah, don't worry about it, we're
- 12:49Speaker 1: getting ready, just set up, and the market is still
- 12:52Speaker 1: in play. Let me know what you guys think. Drop
- 12:55Speaker 1: some comments down below. Do you think this is it
- 12:58Speaker 1: for this bull run or do you believe that it's
- 13:00Speaker 1: just getting started. Drop a comment. If you're not subscribed
