1:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I'm in northern California on the cliffs of Pissamo Beach.
1:18
[SPEAKER_01]: But very, very, very, very monumental.
1:21
[SPEAKER_01]: This will be the last podcast we ever make with each other without meeting one another.
1:25
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to be together.
1:26
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to be together Monday and San Diego.
1:28
[SPEAKER_01]: So exciting out with you for a couple days.
1:30
[SPEAKER_01]: How are
1:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm doing great.
1:33
[SPEAKER_00]: You're right, you know, we're on the traveling schedule right now.
1:36
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got a lot going on and Can you hear me all right?
1:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm coming down great.
1:41
[SPEAKER_00]: You sound perfect.
1:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Perfect.
1:42
[SPEAKER_00]: We're having some audio It's like audio disconnects on my own before this.
1:45
[SPEAKER_00]: So excuse that, but yeah, man I'm stoked I'm gonna be able to meet you for the first time in person.
1:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously we work together You know every week for the last couple of years
1:55
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're both going out to San Diego and doing some stuff out there.
1:58
[SPEAKER_00]: But when it comes to the crypto market here, and really any market, I mean, just watching it today has been fascinating, really, really heavy-selling pressure coming off of that tweet.
2:10
[SPEAKER_00]: And basically, what it was, was it came out in your right?
2:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it was low.
2:14
[SPEAKER_00]: That was the first thing I noticed.
2:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, wow, this is probably like one of the longest tweets I've seen, just in general, but especially from him.
2:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And it had to do with tariffs, it had to do with China, trade war, all that stuff looks like pressures escalating, and we all know in the reason why this effects crypto is because we all know what happened during the first quarter of this year, right?
2:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Kind of going from February, March, April, the markets were just in free fall from the tariff news.
2:43
[SPEAKER_00]: And what that does is that makes investors a little bit more risk off.
2:46
[SPEAKER_00]: They want to scale away from risk.
2:48
[SPEAKER_00]: They want to go to
2:50
[SPEAKER_00]: And the markets have obviously been ripping them for a while now.
2:53
[SPEAKER_00]: If you look from those tariff lows on a lot of these assets, I know that Bitcoin specifically was up about 70%.
3:02
[SPEAKER_00]: When I was looking at NASDAQ, I think that that thing was up about.
3:06
[SPEAKER_00]: 50% and then when looking at gold since those kind of tear flows in that area as well, you know, that was up about 35%.
3:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And so whether you look at metals, equities, or crypto, like everything was up with crypto leading the way by about 20% over NASDAQ.
3:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, everything was pretty high and so now we're starting to get this fear of like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
3:27
[SPEAKER_00]: our tariffs gonna escalate again is a trade war gonna escalate again is there's gonna be something happening right there's just fear in the air and that's really what this did is and as a lot of people like to call it fun right fear uncertainty and doubt they fear the tariffs they fear escalation that are uncertain about what's gonna happen next they're doubtful about the markets especially have such a big move
3:49
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what flood stands for, is for a situation just like this one.
3:52
[SPEAKER_00]: So when we have it on the screen right here, you can kind of go towards like the back quarter of it, the back half of it, and that's really where they talk about it.
4:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And it just seems like tensions are escalating, which is causing this kind of fear uncertainty and doubt.
4:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's causing crypto to just sell off a little bit.
4:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, not just crypto really everything to really just kind of sell off as investors
4:19
[SPEAKER_00]: So the real big kind of question here is, you know, does it get worse?
4:25
[SPEAKER_00]: And does it lead into another trade war crash or terror crash?
4:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Like we saw over course of like February, March and April.
4:34
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think it gets that bad.
4:36
[SPEAKER_00]: That's my opinion.
4:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it gets to that same level of like of a cell-off where we go almost 30% to the downside.
4:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and or I guess it was over 30% for Bitcoin.
4:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was probably 30% for the indices.
4:49
[SPEAKER_00]: And for Bitcoin looking back at that, uh, it was about a 40% cell-off.
4:55
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, do we have another 30, or, yeah, about 30 to 40% to the downside, I don't think so.
5:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think we see about 30 to 40% to the downside.
5:04
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm loving the picture that you have on the screen right now, by the way, Devote.
5:10
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're not a part of our YouTube channel, you got to be a part.
5:13
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, if you're coming in from audible, from Spotify, from Apple Podcast,
5:18
[SPEAKER_00]: you need to go over to our YouTube side.
5:20
[SPEAKER_00]: That's where we have all the info, all the graphics, all the articles and charts and everything else that we reference on the screen.
5:26
[SPEAKER_00]: And for those of you who can't see it, Teeva was put a picture on the screen of Trump boxing, China's President Z, in front of their each perspective flags, and they got the gloves on.
5:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a it's a it's a red morning.
5:43
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a, you know, red days are never super fun unless you got a bag of cash you're ready to buy the it.
5:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the hot headline, I agree with you.
5:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not too worried about this.
5:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I think, again, we don't try to dive too much into the politics side of what's going on politically and how you feel about it.
6:03
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just the facts of the facts.
6:05
[SPEAKER_01]: There's something going on on the world scale, the macro scale, and the markets are being affected by it.
6:10
[SPEAKER_01]: My take personally is I'm thinking this is part of the process.
6:14
[SPEAKER_01]: If we've learned anything about the first eight months here of this administration and
6:20
[SPEAKER_01]: And just the world in general, it just been so crazy recently how this has just been like one big reality show and a lot of times You know, I think the older generation is much used to this type of stuff being dealt with behind closed doors and phone calls and meetings and
6:37
[SPEAKER_01]: you know until it really bubbled over that's when there were press conferences and announcements and now just you know the the digestion of information so different and with Twitter and X and especially with this administration and how they lean into social media it's done an open air and you can hate it you can like it it doesn't matter it's what's going on and you need to you know understand it educate yourself on it and digest it and react to it so that's what we're doing here but I'm not worried about this just feels like another episode in the reality show
7:05
[SPEAKER_01]: TV, you know, administration that we have.
7:08
[SPEAKER_01]: And it is kind of is what it is.
7:10
[SPEAKER_01]: It kind of tees up a little too weak window here.
7:14
[SPEAKER_01]: They were supposed to meet in, there's something going on in Seoul, South Korea.
7:19
[SPEAKER_01]: President G was going to be there Donald Trump was supposed to be there.
7:21
[SPEAKER_01]: They're supposed to have a meeting.
7:22
[SPEAKER_01]: It's always big when the leaders of the U.S.
7:25
[SPEAKER_01]: and China get together.
7:26
[SPEAKER_01]: So that was scheduled to happen.
7:29
[SPEAKER_01]: And now in that infamous long tweet, was hinted that maybe they said he's like, I don't know if I need to go to South Korea now.
7:38
[SPEAKER_01]: So that'll be the talk, excuse me, that'll be the talk in the tell, the tape for the next two weeks, we will cover it for you.
7:44
[SPEAKER_01]: But more importantly, how is this affecting market spread?
7:47
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm gonna hand it off to you on this Friday to do some charting, obviously,
7:52
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a little bit more of a shake up compared to what we were tracking earlier this week due to the news.
7:57
[SPEAKER_01]: But let us see what you're seeing.
8:00
[SPEAKER_01]: And if anybody's interested, Brendan does have a new cohort opening up this week.
8:05
[SPEAKER_01]: So the first link below.
8:07
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're interested in the technical analysis portion of what you're about to see if Brendan's charts and his guidance speak to you and you want to get more educated on it.
8:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Check that first link below.
8:16
[SPEAKER_01]: The trading course with Brendan is open.
8:19
[SPEAKER_01]: You're going to get the six week tutorial to learn all the knowledge that he has plus two live trading systems with him like this port per week, but they're an hour each and you can comment and talk to him and and kind of learn with them as you go through the course.
8:32
[SPEAKER_01]: So Brendan shows what you got.
8:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I would love to see everyone there.
8:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I mean, this is what we're seeing on Bitcoin up here.
8:39
[SPEAKER_00]: We have been chopping around in kind of this sideways range.
8:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I call this the barcode where we're going up and down and up and down and up and down.
8:48
[SPEAKER_00]: and that's really what we've been doing for the past couple of months and you know we've been breaking out slightly higher to the to the upside and then again slightly higher than the prior time but nothing too convincing right nothing too crazy and when we're seeing kind of these failed breakouts this was getting me again I was really hoping for a breakout
9:08
[SPEAKER_00]: one of the big ones I was looking at is that the area and this is something I got stopped out of I had a nice little trade running in profit but I started to see the breakdown here and this fourth rejection in the last couple of months and you know kind of just approaching this with a little bit of caution so I think when we're looking at the bigger picture the bigger picture is still really fine right you kind of zoom out and you see the bigger picture and this looks completely fine in fact you barely noticed
9:36
[SPEAKER_00]: And the big thing that I so really like about Bitcoin is that we're coming back and we have used this area that was previously the all-time high and we kind of come up here and we've rejected and we've come up here and we've rejected and we've rejected and rejected until we eventually broke through and ever since then we've been using this prior all-time high resistance
9:59
[SPEAKER_00]: right over in here and we've been bouncing off of this really really well.
10:03
[SPEAKER_00]: So to the downside here, you know, there's a couple of big support levels.
10:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Number one, we're approaching 117k.
10:09
[SPEAKER_00]: That is where I have a support line.
10:11
[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, you can already see I have a little white line drawn in here, but I think that this is an area that makes sense to some sort of a support.
10:18
[SPEAKER_00]: It is a prior high from over here in Bitcoin here and also in here.
10:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And as we come back to these levels, we also have the 20-day moving average.
10:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, if we start cracking down below these prior highs, before below these local resistance levels, then I think 110K is going to be a rather large support.
10:35
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's where the big support starts kicking in.
10:38
[SPEAKER_00]: You have the prior all-time highs here.
10:41
[SPEAKER_00]: you have a higher lows that we've been seeing around this area as well.
10:45
[SPEAKER_00]: You have the anchored V-wop down here, the 200-day moving average down here, prior consolidation, like you just have a ton around 110k around 200k.
10:56
[SPEAKER_00]: So we have this really large chunk of support down in here, where I'd be very confident that Bitcoin could find some buying pressure.
11:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the only thing that could derail up tober is some sort of black swan event, right?
11:11
[SPEAKER_00]: If we get some massive escalation like we saw at the very start of the year, I think outside of some black swan event like that, I really don't think anything can derail up tober and that coins next like higher.
11:23
[SPEAKER_00]: It would take some really, really big outside event.
11:27
[SPEAKER_00]: to create this kind of downside catalyst.
11:30
[SPEAKER_00]: So the technicals over here to me, they still look good.
11:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I know everyone freaks out because it's been a pretty big day, but thick ones only down about 3% today.
11:38
[SPEAKER_00]: It's down a couple more percent from the all-time highs.
11:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Guys, Bitcoin's 6% away from all-time highs, it's fallen 6% off of the all-time highs, which means that Bitcoin only needs to move about 7% to get back to a new all-time high.
11:53
[SPEAKER_00]: We've done 7% candles more days than I can count.
11:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, and so when we're looking at this, again, it's easy to freak out in the moment and think the world's ending.
12:04
[SPEAKER_00]: We're really not down that much.
12:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I'm not going to say again, this can't get worse, but we're coming right back to a huge critical support level around 17k.
12:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's keep an eye on this.
12:13
[SPEAKER_00]: If not, guess what?
12:14
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot more support levels below us, like we were just talking about.
12:17
[SPEAKER_00]: And the same thing kind of goes over here for Ethereum as well, whether this is coming back to its primary support level.
12:23
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's primary support kicks in and around 4100 on the high end.
12:29
[SPEAKER_00]: and 3800 on the low end.
12:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is where the big, big support level is for ether over in here.
12:35
[SPEAKER_00]: So when I'm looking at this, obviously, we know that this all-time high resistance level is strong.
12:39
[SPEAKER_00]: We've rejected it for separate times, but we also know that we have had buyers down here from 4,100 to 3800.
12:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is an area that used to be a series of prior highs as well, because we've come up here and seen some big resistance points.
12:55
[SPEAKER_00]: So,
12:56
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we've rejected this area from 38 to 4,100 for separate times over the course of the last year to two, and now we know that this should be a support range.
13:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And even under this, if we start breaking down, then I think afterwards you can make an argument that there's a maybe a three K Ethereum, three and a half K Ethereum.
13:15
[SPEAKER_00]: But that still looks like it's pretty far away.
13:17
[SPEAKER_00]: So immediate support for this is going to be 4,100, then 3,800.
13:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And I would really like to see the bounce happen kind of inside that target range, which we're just starting to peek our head into here.
13:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, when it comes to altcoins, t-velle,
13:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, these are where we're kind of seeing some more of the selling pressure, right?
13:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Bitcoin dominance is back on the rise, which is something that I've noticed.
13:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, it's picking up to the highest point that we've seen since August of this year.
13:45
[SPEAKER_00]: So about month or two ago.
13:48
[SPEAKER_00]: And all coins are what's really getting hammered.
13:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, Bitcoin down 3%, you're seeing the average altcoin down around 5% to 6%.
13:55
[SPEAKER_00]: So almost double that.
13:57
[SPEAKER_00]: And you can see that over here with Solana and ETH, ETH being down 6% and Solana being down just about 5%.
14:05
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're coming back to some of these prior lows.
14:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the number one thing to watch out for moving forward is can these altcoins and Bitcoin
14:16
[SPEAKER_00]: above where we bought them that last time and so long as we see that it paints and it actually raises the likelihood of crypto continuing to the upside because we've seen this happen a lot where especially on Solana where it comes down rises up higher low rises up higher low rises up higher low rises up so long as it comes in here and it forms another higher swing low
14:42
[SPEAKER_00]: where it bottomed out last time.
14:44
[SPEAKER_00]: So long as it does that, it actually puts itself in a really good spot.
14:49
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what I would like to see over here on Solana.
14:51
[SPEAKER_00]: So okay, can we come down for my higher low and move back to the upside?
14:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that that raises the likelihood of an upside breakout and it makes the whole chart just look better.
15:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And for a lot of the altcoins, like that's the big thing that we'll watch out for here.
15:03
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you can kind of see it happening on suede, can it hold this trend of higher lows?
15:07
[SPEAKER_00]: We've been watching it happen over here on B&B.
15:10
[SPEAKER_00]: which has just been crushing it for the most part.
15:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Can this thing kind of form some sort of higher low around the moving averages?
15:18
[SPEAKER_00]: We've been watching Ave, which recently bounced off the 200-day moving average, coming down here, can we form the higher low?
15:24
[SPEAKER_00]: We've been seeing this with a bunch of other charts.
15:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I know pumps one that I'm watching.
15:29
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been very, very volatile lately.
15:32
[SPEAKER_00]: You could say the same thing for hyper-liquid, or tron, or mantle, or a lot of these cryptos that have been running really, really well.
15:39
[SPEAKER_00]: And so as we come back to the downside over here, I think all eyes are kind of on this and saying can the crypto market specifically these altcoins can they hold higher lows like we're seeing across the board?
15:50
[SPEAKER_00]: And if not, then maybe we do get a little bit more downside, but again, I don't really see us derailing from this bigger picture, which remains to be bullish until it's not.
16:03
[SPEAKER_00]: And I truly do believe like the only thing that kind of derails us
16:07
[SPEAKER_00]: The bull market that we're in is another one of those out of left field, black swan event like catalysts that sends the hings back to the downside.
16:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Bye.
16:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I can agree with anything before we I think we got to say out of the chat leave the charts up here bread and we got a couple of questions from the audience we'll bring in But we want to say hi to everybody East Coast lobsters here fits us here Josh Clarks here Vlad is here Deborah's always here site for that's a new one welcome site for haven't seen you in the chat before and I
16:38
[SPEAKER_01]: absolute legend, Brian McNutt.
16:39
[SPEAKER_01]: He is in the chat.
16:40
[SPEAKER_01]: He's very active.
16:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's lead with him.
16:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Brian McNutt, head of Momentum Moneymakers, is looking to look at first some thoughts on Aster from his T-ray T-A guru.
16:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, let's take a look at it, man.
16:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, get one sec.
16:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Aster is an interesting, oops, it's a throwing one.
17:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Aster has been an interesting one.
17:03
[SPEAKER_00]: And following this, they're essentially like a competitor to hyper-liquid for anyone who's not as familiar, except they're on the Binance Smart Chain, so they're kind of the being part of the B&B ecosystem.
17:14
[SPEAKER_00]: What I've seen over here with Aster is even though we don't have a ton of price action, what we have seen so far is that they had a really nice initial rally up, and then they kind of came back down to around a dollar and 50 cents.
17:26
[SPEAKER_00]: then back up to a lower high, then back down to the same low.
17:30
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're honestly catching a little bit of a bid today.
17:33
[SPEAKER_00]: They hit a low of day, it around $1.49.
17:37
[SPEAKER_00]: They've rallied about 12% back to the upside.
17:41
[SPEAKER_00]: And so the thing that I've noticed is that there's been a lot of buyers around $1.50.
17:44
[SPEAKER_00]: It's clear that this is a pretty big support wall because you saw the initial rally kind of come through this point.
17:52
[SPEAKER_00]: We came back here, called another huge bid,
17:56
[SPEAKER_00]: and despite the whole crypto market, despite every market being deep in the red today, this thing's rally 12% off of its lows back to break even.
18:05
[SPEAKER_00]: So that, to me, helps kind of create this argument for Astor that it has a lot of buying pressure and people are very comfortable buying this thing around a dollar in 50 cents.
18:15
[SPEAKER_00]: And even as we're watching it now, you can kind of see it flipping clean on the day.
18:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, again, everything else is deep in the red.
18:22
[SPEAKER_00]: So what I would say with Astor is, you know, really big support walls and buy walls around the dollar in 50 cents.
18:29
[SPEAKER_00]: If this rallies anywhere off of here, it has made lower highs.
18:32
[SPEAKER_00]: So I wouldn't necessarily expect it to break that right away.
18:36
[SPEAKER_00]: But even if it rallies off of a lower high here, I think we could see this thing rally back up to
18:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe two bucks, two bucks in 10 cents, somewhere around there.
18:46
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that that's a pretty conservative estimate.
18:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Or we're saying, hey, if we rally off of here and we go back to the upside, and we even see a lower swing high, we're not even talking about a breakout.
18:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I think around a $2 and anywhere from two bucks to $2 and 10 cents is a pretty reasonable price to see this kind of come back up towards.
19:05
[SPEAKER_00]: My only fear with Astor is we have another analyst on the team.
19:09
[SPEAKER_00]: named Rohit.
19:11
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was saying that some of those defy companies that like records statistics like defy a lawman stuff, some of them have stopped reporting on Astor because they had been doing mostly wash trading and people had been wash trading.
19:28
[SPEAKER_00]: because they want to take part in an air drop that's coming up.
19:32
[SPEAKER_00]: And so people were just while trading their money back and forth to kind of increase the likelihood of their air drop.
19:38
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's something that he was telling me yesterday, which is interesting.
19:42
[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe the numbers aren't as high as people thought they were.
19:47
[SPEAKER_00]: And maybe the numbers aren't as good as they might have looked because people are just trying to partake in this air drop.
19:52
[SPEAKER_00]: So a lot of money is just being recycled over and over again.
19:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Something to pop probably think about it's something that.
19:59
[SPEAKER_00]: didn't even come to my mind.
20:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't even know about the air drop.
20:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I just knew about this success and how people were using it and how it competes with hyperlink wids.
20:09
[SPEAKER_00]: So that was something that got put on the my radar and I felt like I could share.
20:14
[SPEAKER_00]: But when it comes to the chart itself, I mean, listen, we see buyers anywhere around the bulk 50.
20:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I would say this is kind of
20:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Great breakdown.
20:29
[SPEAKER_01]: We got one more from from Debra.
20:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know this one ticker symbol.
20:34
[SPEAKER_01]: SD Stater.
20:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Stater.
20:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I looked it up.
20:40
[SPEAKER_01]: STA.
20:41
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this is a low low market cap folks.
20:44
[SPEAKER_01]: 25 million dollar market cap.
20:45
[SPEAKER_01]: She's she's rolling around with Brian and Joe and the trenches momentum money makers style.
20:51
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah, give give Debra a little thought here, but folks.
20:54
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a very, very low market cap project.
20:57
[SPEAKER_01]: So
20:58
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, no, no personal financial advice from us here, but I don't know, Deborah's always in the chat.
21:04
[SPEAKER_01]: So we got to send her some love.
21:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Looks like she might be holding the bottom here.
21:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know, what I would say is with projects of this size, I typically don't do TA on them because the lower that something's market cap is, the less reliable and consistent, right, and a cool analysis usually is, but nonetheless, you know, obviously it had this just gigantic move to the downside back in 2022, and you can see it kind of never recovered from that.
21:30
[SPEAKER_00]: So if we're kind of just focusing in on what's happened since then, you can see that it has had some rallies.
21:37
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, give or take, I guess you could say that there's kind of two zones to look at here.
21:41
[SPEAKER_00]: To the upside around a dollar in 70 cents.
21:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you could say that there's even another, a little bit of another zone kind of downing here around a dollar in 40 cents.
21:52
[SPEAKER_00]: It's yeah, around a dollar in 40 cents.
21:55
[SPEAKER_00]: And to the downside, it's had a decent little support down here around 30 cents.
22:00
[SPEAKER_00]: So when we look at these zones we've kind of seen it go from around 30 cents up to one of these two take profit zones that either are dollar and 40 or a dollar and 80 cents and it's kind of just going back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and now it's coming back down so personally I don't like trading these charts that are just like continually bleeding and you know it really hasn't gone anywhere in the last several years despite almost the entire crypto market rallying
22:28
[SPEAKER_00]: So that kind of acts as a little bit of a red flag for me, you know, if I was absolutely in love with this, then I'd probably look for a long somewhere around 30 cents.
22:35
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'd probably try to long it back up to a dollar and 40 cents just because we know it kind of at least has this consistent pattern of running.
22:43
[SPEAKER_00]: But.
22:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, not the kind of thing that I like to trade a little bit small in terms of market cap and it looks like, you know, every kind of time at rallies, it's just losing all of it.
22:53
[SPEAKER_00]: And so my fear is that eventually what I've seen in the past is that stuff like this tends to eventually wear out until it just falls through the floor and has a hard time recovering after that.
23:04
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, sorry, we couldn't give you better news on that one, Deborah, but we appreciate you being here literally every episode.
23:09
[SPEAKER_01]: So thank you, Deborah.
23:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, Brendan.
23:11
[SPEAKER_01]: If that technical analysis stuff again is something that you're interested in learning more, the cohort is open this week.
23:16
[SPEAKER_01]: So first link, uh, Brendan's trading course is down in the description, check it out if you're interested as we move on.
23:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I think, um, I moved something up in our chart here, Brendan, just to talk about this isn't necessarily crypto related.
23:29
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the macro view, but we're talking macro today with everything that's going on.
23:33
[SPEAKER_01]: in the world affecting the markets.
23:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Bank of America came out with a note saying, and you see these all the time, is that you know, vesters are not penalized for buying stocks at all time highs.
23:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Traditionally, five years later, returns have been stronger.
23:47
[SPEAKER_01]: So as everything you kind of just said, as Bitcoin's near all time high, ETH was near all time high Solana, and then obviously the NASDAQ, the S&P, and the DAW have just been rolling new intraday all time highs over the last couple weeks, leading us into October.
24:01
[SPEAKER_01]: with the fall off now it's like oh is now is now time to panic is a good panic cell and you know you got to make your own decisions financially and what's right for you this isn't personal financial advice but history does show that you know you're not penalized for not only buying the top but you don't you don't always want to try and sell like right is where it clips in all time highs but you got to you know you got to plan your plan your trades and trades your plans for everybody individually but
24:29
[SPEAKER_01]: I found this one from Crypto's ROS.
24:31
[SPEAKER_01]: He's always sharing some fun shards in the future.
24:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, he's a fun guy.
24:36
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got a great channel, good energy.
24:38
[SPEAKER_01]: And this was something that the we've topped cycle is over.
24:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody's saying, oh, we're at the top, we're at the top.
24:45
[SPEAKER_01]: So here is kind of this GMI Bitcoin cycle top finder.
24:50
[SPEAKER_01]: The source in the bottom right here is a global macro investor, LSEG data stream.
24:56
[SPEAKER_01]: So again, not our chart, but I did find it interesting is, you know, you can see kind of the cycle top finders hitting all the certain kind of top points of Bitcoin prices and it goes down and hits the top here.
25:07
[SPEAKER_01]: It blows through it and then it goes down hits the top chops around here back in 21 and then it goes down.
25:12
[SPEAKER_01]: And this this GMI what, you know, this data here is not even close.
25:18
[SPEAKER_01]: as as cryptos are us as saying the data Bitcoin is just getting started.
25:23
[SPEAKER_01]: So I thought those was a pretty cool chart.
25:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Sadly, we don't have necessarily the insights into what goes into this type of chart, but it is interesting to look at.
25:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and I'm actually going to share another chart that that I would say looks somewhat similar to this.
25:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.
25:39
[SPEAKER_00]: It's something that I've used and looked at in the past where one of the big things that I like to look at and again, it's a little bit of a secret.
25:48
[SPEAKER_00]: So if anyone asks, I didn't tell you
25:50
[SPEAKER_00]: But something that I have looked at is the one month RSI in terms of where Bitcoin tends to bottom and top out at and so it's going to look pretty similar to this let me throw it on the screen for all of you and we can look at this together.
26:07
[SPEAKER_00]: But this is what it looks like and it goes all the way back to 2010 and so it kind of shows you like the different market cycles and so Tiva.
26:17
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't need to be some sort of expert to read this chart, but I want you to give me your best guess.
26:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Where do you think the market's bottomed out and toped out at?
26:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm going to go with the bottom line there and the white that's around the 40, 40, 40.
26:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to say that's where I want to buy by the dip.
26:37
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I'm going to say that top line that's around 90 to 95 might be like, hey, we're a little over-bought here.
26:42
[SPEAKER_01]: This might be a top signal.
26:47
[SPEAKER_00]: you're locked in and you're winning the grand prize for that one.
26:50
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going home with it all.
26:52
[SPEAKER_00]: And you have your right.
26:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you know, this, this looks very similar to their chart in practice.
26:57
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, this is the one month RSI or relative strength index for Bitcoin.
27:02
[SPEAKER_00]: And you look at this thing.
27:03
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I call him every single type cycle.
27:06
[SPEAKER_00]: It tops out up in here.
27:08
[SPEAKER_00]: And every single cycle.
27:09
[SPEAKER_00]: It bottoms out right down and around here.
27:12
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is where we're at right now, you know, we're kind of just crossing into the over bought overextendatory and we're nowhere near where we normally top out.
27:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, obviously does that mean that it has to be this way?
27:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Does that guarantee anything?
27:24
[SPEAKER_00]: No, there can always be a one-off scenario.
27:27
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no such thing as a 100% success rate.
27:30
[SPEAKER_00]: But so far in every cycle, we've seen this thing play out to a T where it always goes up here and then down here and up and down and up and down and up and down.
27:39
[SPEAKER_00]: And now we are on the way back up, and we've seen that in Bitcoin since 2022, where it went, where it bought him down.
27:44
[SPEAKER_00]: And we have been on the up and up.
27:46
[SPEAKER_00]: But this would kind of paint the same idea, Tiva, where it would say it just does not look like we've talked yet according to this.
27:52
[SPEAKER_00]: And this has worked every single cycle prior to this.
27:56
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'd look at this.
27:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you could also look at other things as well.
28:00
[SPEAKER_00]: But
28:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, some food for the kind of a line.
28:04
[SPEAKER_01]: We didn't, we honestly didn't even plan this, but this just goes to the fact of why being in this community with Brendan, or Heat, Brian, Joe, Bryce.
28:13
[SPEAKER_01]: And hey, even myself, you got to give credit where credit's due of producing good, good shows.
28:18
[SPEAKER_01]: The team we have is phenomenal, because what we do is we try to bring all this different information from all just not only our opinions, but our research,
28:26
[SPEAKER_01]: and try to put it all together for you guys, and that's what crypto 101 podcast is.
28:33
[SPEAKER_01]: And what Brennan just pulled up of like, hey, I pulled it up.
28:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's a chart I found.
28:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Brennan goes, oh, that reminds me of something that I like to look at this too.
28:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Yours was in the middle, mines in the middle, and then let's just go down the rest of the rundown sheet here.
28:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we touch on it every
28:48
[SPEAKER_01]: couple weeks, but let's go compare to what you just showed and I just showed to the fury greed index.
28:53
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been teetering in the middle of fear and greed just writing the middle of that neutral, you know, 45 to 55, right?
29:00
[SPEAKER_01]: So what is that?
29:01
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right in the middle.
29:02
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we go over and we haven't looked at this in a long time, but let's go look over at Google Trends for the last year.
29:09
[SPEAKER_01]: And Google Trends, you can go back to last year, exactly a year ago, October into the election.
29:15
[SPEAKER_01]: And in December, a year ago, right after the election, is when everything hit 100, where is it now?
29:20
[SPEAKER_01]: It's at, for Bitcoin, at least, it's in 40.
29:23
[SPEAKER_01]: What's that?
29:24
[SPEAKER_01]: It's in that 40 to 50 ranges, right?
29:25
[SPEAKER_01]: In the middle, an even crypto in general, and all coins are obviously going to be a lot lower.
29:30
[SPEAKER_01]: But again, comparing to its top 20 to its top at 50, 20, 25, right in the middle.
29:36
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's like we're in this kind of three month range on the charts, no man's land if you call it.
29:43
[SPEAKER_01]: But if you keep coming back,
29:45
[SPEAKER_01]: to us, you know, every week and we appreciate all the listeners and if you're new here, please give us a thumbs up, please subscribe because this is what we do.
29:53
[SPEAKER_01]: We parsed through the information so you can make your own decisions and you come along with us for the ride, but it's like what have we talked about nonstop for the last three months?
30:02
[SPEAKER_01]: It's institutions, they keep coming, they're coming, listen, just in $5.1 trillion asset manager stagedread.
30:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I know you've all heard of him.
30:10
[SPEAKER_01]: It says 60% of institutional investors plan to increase their allocation in Bitcoin and crypto.
30:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that going to happen in the next two months?
30:18
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's going to happen in the next year or two, three years.
30:21
[SPEAKER_01]: and like in what you're selling because Donald Trump wants to have you know season eight of the apprentice with president G like no like it doesn't that's not that's not smart thought process of how to you know try to you know manage your money and understand kind of educationally how you want to invest as an investor like that's that doesn't make sense so you know give a little passion ran about there but like that we we
30:46
[SPEAKER_01]: you're in the right spot and just we're all in this together and learning together all that stuff is really kind of how you get through this like you need a community.
30:53
[SPEAKER_01]: So whether it's Brendan's trading course, hitting subscribe here and coming back each week to hear what we're talking about, or if you want a little bit more access to the team scroll down and try the one dollar trial for you know, Curtination VIP.
31:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Just scroll down, give it a try because like that's what you need.
31:07
[SPEAKER_01]: You need this information.
31:08
[SPEAKER_01]: You need a community.
31:08
[SPEAKER_01]: You need a team.
31:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and, like, listen, these kind of things happen, too.
31:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, unfortunately, you know, in a perfect world, we shouldn't have all these, like, news events that throw off things and throw off the trend.
31:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, as well, it's not a perfect world.
31:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, these kind of things happen.
31:23
[SPEAKER_00]: There's going to be stuff tweeted out.
31:24
[SPEAKER_00]: There's going to be geopolitical stuff happening.
31:27
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just the way that the world works.
31:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Doesn't matter who's an office, doesn't matter if it's any country in the world.
31:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, these kind of things just happen.
31:35
[SPEAKER_00]: They're a natural part of being invested in any kind of asset class.
31:39
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's just part of it all.
31:40
[SPEAKER_00]: It's really not thing that's too out of the ordinary.
31:41
[SPEAKER_00]: So I wouldn't lose sleep over it.
31:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't freak out too much about it.
31:43
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all pretty natural.
31:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, just, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it,
31:50
[SPEAKER_01]: the last months of the show has been nonstop.
31:53
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a history.
31:54
[SPEAKER_01]: It's fidelity.
31:54
[SPEAKER_01]: It's city city initiates Bitcoin and crypto coverage.
31:58
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, you got digest all this stuff and then you can't you can't puke it all up.
32:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, because, you know, it's reality TV on the world scale.
32:07
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, listen, if we're going to, if all these, at the end of the day, if we want to go to some world worth three, like everything's a trend, nobody's going to care about the price of the S&P, the Nasdaq or
32:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Overall, you know, you just got to follow the information, follow the research and like all these massive institutions with trillions of capital are all interested in this space and kind of kind of actually it perfectly leads us into the final topic, which we're going to do a little bit more of a deep dive on is kind of the history of global to money supply.
32:41
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry, global M2 money supply.
32:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Now we bring up that chart a lot.
32:45
[SPEAKER_01]: because it's a fun thing to bring up.
32:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, you add it as a tool into your educational investor research.
32:53
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's a fun debate.
32:54
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of people love it on Twitter or financial Twitter.
32:56
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of people hate it.
32:58
[SPEAKER_01]: But I found some interesting stuff on the history of it.
33:01
[SPEAKER_01]: And just to kind of tease off, there was some world news this week out of I believe it was Japan, where they had an election and they elected a new prime minister and that prime minister.
33:13
[SPEAKER_01]: is pro stimulus kind of pro you know whether it's loading rates pumping money into the economy and then then the guy which is the Japan stock market took off on that and it's you know been rallying with the rest of the world's markets just like ours but again just kind of go flows into that storyline of more money is coming into the system not just from the U.S.
33:32
[SPEAKER_01]: and Ray cuts but from around the world so now we want to bring up this this is from what is it the
33:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to give credit.
33:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Co BSE letter.
33:41
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how to pronounce that.
33:42
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm probably butchering that.
33:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
33:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Truth to tell I'm not sure how to pronounce that one either.
33:48
[SPEAKER_01]: They have an awesome deep dive of this.
33:51
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're, you know, I gave it to Brendan, me and him.
33:54
[SPEAKER_01]: It kind of went over this thread a little bit and we're going to walk you through it.
33:57
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think Brendan, I'll tee it up and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it because you're definitely much smarter than me.
34:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Basically, what this is, this chart is kind of talking about the M2 money supply over the history of the different bubbles.
34:10
[SPEAKER_01]: So, by comparison to the dot com bubble, the housing crisis, all these other things like we can track the M2 money supply and the markets and how they go up and down.
34:18
[SPEAKER_01]: So, Brent, what what stuck out to you the most from kind of this research?
34:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, number one, it shows that we are fairly high, right?
34:29
[SPEAKER_00]: You look at the chart.
34:30
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that this is meant to play with people's emotions a little bit and say, look at how high we were.
34:35
[SPEAKER_00]: The last time we were up here was 2008 or the dot com crisis, or these big other events that have happened before, before these big crashes.
34:47
[SPEAKER_00]: However, I think that a lot has changed.
34:50
[SPEAKER_00]: What people failed to understand here is like the infrastructure that's been built since then, when you look at this technology stack that's been built then, you know, you didn't have the way that data centers NAI and Nvidia in the chip industry.
35:03
[SPEAKER_00]: And tech is a whole, right?
35:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Back in the 2008 crisis, or 2008 or the.com bubble, you didn't have Amazon the way it was, you didn't have Uber, you didn't have Apple the way it was, you didn't have Nvidia in the same space, you didn't have like any of these big companies that we have today.
35:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they just were, we're not anything close to what they were, and neither was the US's
35:30
[SPEAKER_00]: market in general when it comes to tech and so it looks like this and it says well hey you have to look at this metric and again I think this is where historical analysis can be a little bit misleading.
35:40
[SPEAKER_00]: The other thing that I noticed is that I don't think it accounts for something like inflation.
35:45
[SPEAKER_00]: At least from what I read on the chart, inflation's not included here.
35:49
[SPEAKER_00]: And when you look at how much inflation has increased, I don't have the exact number in front of my head, but it's increased a lot.
35:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to say over 50 percent since some of these big events have happened.
35:58
[SPEAKER_00]: And so you have to back get that in as well.
36:02
[SPEAKER_00]: So you would say, well man, I would hope that this is something that would go up because again inflation is also going up.
36:07
[SPEAKER_00]: So you would expect this to kind of increase
36:11
[SPEAKER_00]: to some degree further and further to the upside as well.
36:14
[SPEAKER_00]: So what I would say is that it doesn't account for a couple of key things.
36:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I know that people like this say that we're in a bubble and it's funny because I've talked to friends lately about this and they're just doomsday prepping as if there is this really big bubble and I've asked them why and they say, well we're too high up to the upside and I'm like by who's standards.
36:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Like what does that mean?
36:34
[SPEAKER_00]: We're two were two
36:36
[SPEAKER_00]: hide to the upside.
36:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Now obviously pullbacks and stuff are going to happen, but they're talking about like a market-wide crash, which is kind of like what this chart is alluding to, seeing cryptos going to crash.
36:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Equities are going to crash.
36:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything is going to come crashing down, and I just don't see the data to get behind that.
36:50
[SPEAKER_00]: When you look at the catalyst that caused these as well,
36:53
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what, you know, you have to look at where that is in the current day.
36:56
[SPEAKER_00]: The big things that I hear from people is, oh, it's going to be driven by inflation.
37:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Inflation really isn't that high.
37:03
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we're talking about a 3% sometimes we've seen sub 3% this year inflation.
37:08
[SPEAKER_00]: That's really low.
37:09
[SPEAKER_00]: We were at 10% a couple of years ago, almost 10%.
37:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Then the next people, the next thing that people talk about is, oh, the labor market.
37:16
[SPEAKER_00]: And we talked about this.
37:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Send me recently to you though, I can't remember if we did it on the run down, but I know we did it to some of the community members.
37:25
[SPEAKER_00]: And we showed that inflation is dominated by the ages of 16 to 24.
37:30
[SPEAKER_00]: That inflation rates at 10 and a half percent, and then you have the remaining pockets of 25 to 55 being, I think, three and a half, and then you had 55 up being 2.9%.
37:39
[SPEAKER_00]: So again, unemployment rate for those age groups are all really, really low, minus 16 to 24, which is the demographic that
37:50
[SPEAKER_00]: A.I.
37:50
[SPEAKER_00]: is taking, right?
37:51
[SPEAKER_00]: That's whose jobs A.I.
37:52
[SPEAKER_00]: is taking is these very repeatable kind of communal entry-level jobs and tasks like people who might be working at a drive through or like people who might be customer service or like people that might be editing or doing kind of like just entry-level work.
38:08
[SPEAKER_00]: And those are the jobs that's being taken.
38:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And
38:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, people like to kind of see these one off numbers, and I like to always kind of paint the whole picture as it relates to the chart, but the bulk of the data out there, the health of I would say the crypto market, the health of everything still looks to be all right now that doesn't mean that we're not going to have up and downs, and that we're not going to have fluctuations because we are, but I think the idea of the kind of the picture that this chart is painting of like, hey, we're getting up to dot com like levels is a little bit.
38:38
[SPEAKER_00]: of a straw man fallacy, where it's just setting up like a single data point and saying the market could crash because of this single data point, when I think it's omitting a couple of things, I would say it's actually omitting a lot of different data.
38:50
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's the way that you have to look at this, right?
38:52
[SPEAKER_00]: When we analyze the crypto market Tvo, we come forth with the charts, we look at the ETF flows, we look at the on-chain analytics, we look at the news, we look at what's happening with corporations and with regulation between governments,
39:05
[SPEAKER_00]: we look what's happening domestically and on an international level.
39:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And we have to look at all these different data points, and then we compile it onto the show, and then we create an argument.
39:16
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's the way that you have to do a lot of this.
39:18
[SPEAKER_00]: You have to say, okay, well, what is all of the data point saying?
39:21
[SPEAKER_00]: And then let's kind of pull them together to come to an ultimate conclusion.
39:25
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, that's the way that we like to kind of train people and talk to them about over here is,
39:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's look at everything first and then make our decision afterwards and set up the the biggest miss kind of understanding or misconception that I've seen people do in recent weeks and in recent months is take these like one off data points and then run with the story after that when I think we really have to put everything together first.
39:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and that's why I love having these conversations because we all look at things differently and I think you broke that down beautifully and you covered the whole picture, but I actually have a little bit of a different take because you were kind of protecting the market of where we are and saying it's okay and I agree with you but almost I'd flip this a little bit uh dare I say bullish can I?
40:08
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna get a little bullish argument for you so
40:11
[SPEAKER_01]: If everything stays the same to reach such a level as the dot com bubble, it actually it's part, it's half bullish, half agreeing with you.
40:17
[SPEAKER_01]: So let me give you the bullish part.
40:19
[SPEAKER_01]: To reach such a level, the US stock market would need to grow another 21% assuming a constant M2 money supply.
40:25
[SPEAKER_01]: So that means the S&P 500 would go up another 20% with just the consistent M2 money supply.
40:32
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's no extra.
40:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Whatever it's going on right now, if the average consistently happens, and the S&P goes
40:39
[SPEAKER_01]: then we're at the dot com bubble and then exactly to what you said what was the dot com bubble it was companies that just put dot com on the end of their name and started raising hundreds of millions and billions of dollars like there's just pets to this before pets dot com is a real fluctuating business there was this people just put pets dot com sports dot com like you know and people were just investing
41:02
[SPEAKER_01]: hundreds of millions of billions of dollars in companies that had zero dollars in revenue.
41:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Zero dollars in revenue.
41:09
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you go and look at today's monsters.
41:12
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's where we agree is you can't compare this to 2000.
41:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Go do your research of what those companies were that were getting these valuations.
41:21
[SPEAKER_01]: And yes.
41:21
[SPEAKER_01]: You can maybe fingerpoint at, uh, I don't know, like a palentier, you know, hoods flying high, but like, honestly, one of the biggest peas in the market right now, Brendan is Costco and Walmart, like they're at, they're in the, they're in the 40s, I think, and video is only in the 20, I think, wise, Costco is like 42, and video is only at, I think, 28.
41:43
[SPEAKER_01]: or 30, so like, I don't think we're there yet in the tech sector plus, you know, the monsters of Facebook and Microsoft and Google.
41:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they're all everything's profitable.
41:53
[SPEAKER_01]: So until that cat backs, and this is why you got to go and do the research, we're happy to do it for you, and if you hit subscribe and follow along, we'll keep doing it and do it together.
42:03
[SPEAKER_01]: But like, there's tons of cat backs, and everybody's cat backs, numbers are mind blowing, but then go look at the revenue, go look at the profits, and until that cat backs,
42:12
[SPEAKER_01]: surpasses by a large amount, what they're bringing in revenue, then that's the red flag because this whole Grow Grow Grow AI AI, and then you could make the argument that with OpenAI and XAI and Nvidia and CoreWeave, there is this like flywheel starting to build a little bit with all of them in the data centers, so that's something I think to watch out on, but all these companies are profitable, it's not like 2000.
42:36
[SPEAKER_01]: where people were raising all this money and had zero dollars in revenue.
42:41
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think this is actually a little bullish and it kind of goes back, you know, a 20% move in the S&P is massive, massive.
42:47
[SPEAKER_01]: So it goes back to all our other data from Bitcoin to the Fierre Green Index to all this RSI is like, we're kind of in the middle.
42:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, you can go down.
42:55
[SPEAKER_01]: There's always corrections and you can go up.
42:57
[SPEAKER_01]: But like it doesn't feel,
43:00
[SPEAKER_01]: doesn't feel topied to me like all this stuff.
43:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I still think there's room to go and I think the AI stuff eventually has some probably wild correction down the line, but I don't think we're quite there yet.
43:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that story has a lot left unfold and people are still in that fomo phase of that whole storyline.
43:17
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's why I think this bull market, whether it's Bitcoin or the S&P kind of continues in the next year because what are you going to be on the sidelines?
43:25
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a ton of people that are still sideline from the tariffs.
43:28
[SPEAKER_01]: You want to make that mistake again?
43:29
[SPEAKER_01]: It truly is the most hated rally, and that's why I think it feels right even though we're at all time highs you're in this in this middle ground.
43:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Plus, when you go to the other ones, what is it?
43:40
[SPEAKER_01]: COVID, housing crisis, like you, okay, everything that the housing crisis was fraud, COVID was something like a once in, you know, one in huge black swans, so you take your money out, where are you gonna put it?
43:52
[SPEAKER_01]: The dollars have already been printed, so it's not like the dollars disappear, they just have to go somewhere.
43:56
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's going into gold, Bitcoin, housing, nobody has the magic April, but it's not like the dollars just burn and disappear either.
44:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
44:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I mean, you're right, man, you got it again.
44:07
[SPEAKER_00]: It goes back to this topic of you have to look at all the data.
44:11
[SPEAKER_00]: You have to put all the puzzle pieces together.
44:13
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't just take things out of context and take a single data point and run with it.
44:19
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to look at all.
44:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I mean, look at all of those crashes and look at what's happened afterwards.
44:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Look at the rallies that have happened afterwards.
44:26
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know.
44:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I think that you made a really good point when it comes to like,
44:32
[SPEAKER_00]: why those crap shes happened and was there like money behind them?
44:36
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like all right well one there was no like revenue and actual profit behind it.
44:41
[SPEAKER_00]: One was a once every 100 year plague or whatever and the other one was straight up fraud and it's like all right so what's this one?
44:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Well it's not fraud it's not a disease or whatever it's not
44:54
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, there is profits, and in fact, tons of profits being produced, earnings calls are going well.
45:00
[SPEAKER_00]: They're beating expectations, raising guidance, and like, so like, it's not that, and so like, what's going to be the catalyst of this crash?
45:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that that's where people have a hard time answering it.
45:10
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, I do think at some point we probably do stop seeing the results that we are seeing right now.
45:15
[SPEAKER_00]: But we just haven't seen it yet.
45:17
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, we're getting hit ourselves too.
45:20
[SPEAKER_01]: 100% but just to put the M2 money supply and all those historic events quick Google like Charkey are not your wonderful technical analysis Charkey are two thousand we when you want to sell.
45:31
[SPEAKER_01]: You saw a sell in here and then miss this.
45:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's the 2008.
45:34
[SPEAKER_01]: We, it's like, we're then obviously COVID was so sharp.
45:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, are you going to tell the bottom?
45:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
45:41
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, like, who knows, we're just speculating on this, but I agree.
45:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think that blow off top phase has happened yet.
45:46
[SPEAKER_01]: We could be talking right now today.
45:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Might be where we come back to.
45:51
[SPEAKER_01]: when when the, you know, the, again, just speculating, but like when the crash, the eyeball pops maybe today at these levels is where we'll come back to.
45:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, nobody knows, but like that's why you can't get worked up in this stuff.
46:02
[SPEAKER_01]: You got to have that long-term vision and as we say in the show more often than not,
46:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Zoom out.
46:08
[SPEAKER_01]: What a Friday show, Brendan.
46:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if there's any questions.
46:10
[SPEAKER_01]: We had a good little active chat today on a Friday Even in the market was a little red if there's any questions toss them in we might have we have a couple minutes for questions But any any final thoughts Brendan of the episode today?
46:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I'll tell you what I was looking at just what the crypto market and everything was doing in general, you know, hey, as the market falls here, I've had some cash ready.
46:32
[SPEAKER_00]: It's funny.
46:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I know me and YouTube, but we're talking.
46:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was about a week ago, literally last Friday.
46:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was and we were like, yeah, you know, kind of just looking at some profit taking and getting cash on the sidelines ready for something like this to happen and we're getting it.
46:47
[SPEAKER_00]: And so the cash is ready and
46:49
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I'll tell you what.
46:50
[SPEAKER_00]: As the crypto market falls here, I'm going to be looking at buying opportunities.
46:54
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is because we have the belief that crypto can go higher still.
46:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I would still say before the years over, I still think new all-time highs for Bitcoin and Ethereum are on the table.
47:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that once we get the government back up as well.
47:08
[SPEAKER_00]: That means that the ETF or Proof approval process will resume and that we're going to be at a very high likelihood of seeing a Solana XRP and Litecoin ETF get approved as well for those kind of spot ETFs.
47:22
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's another thing that I'm looking forward to.
47:24
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, listen, pretty bright future.
47:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I know the day looks dark, but again, when in doubt, like Kiva said, one in doubt, zoom out and there's still a lot of really positive catalysts on horizon.
47:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, couldn't agree more and very exciting week next week.
47:41
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to be together.
47:43
[SPEAKER_01]: We can't release the schedule.
47:44
[SPEAKER_01]: We have a lot of stuff to do in person.
47:46
[SPEAKER_01]: We are going to try and get together and do at least one episode whether it's with Brendan Brian or Joe.
47:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Just to give you an update of what's going on, especially if there's breaking news.
47:53
[SPEAKER_01]: So be on the lookout for it, but I can't give you guys the schedules.
47:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry for that.
47:57
[SPEAKER_01]: But we will talk to you guys next week.
48:00
