Transcript
- 0:07Speaker 1: The markets in bitcoin are heating up today. Could it
- 0:10Speaker 1: hit all time high by Q two Today, we'll break
- 0:12Speaker 1: it down for you. My name is Paul Barre. Welcome
- 0:14Speaker 1: back in the tech path. Let's get into it. I
- 0:16Speaker 1: do want to thank our sponsor today and that is Coinbase.
- 0:18Speaker 1: Coinbase is a great place for you guys to get
- 0:20Speaker 1: started in your crypto journey, and I think there's a
- 0:22Speaker 1: lot of people now starting to move into crypto for
- 0:25Speaker 1: the very first time. Well, this is the place where
- 0:27Speaker 1: you want to set up your account. Go in there,
- 0:30Speaker 1: make your first trade. You can actually transfer money in
- 0:32Speaker 1: from your bank. You can put it into USDC or
- 0:35Speaker 1: go directly into a digital asset, whether it's ethereum or bitcoin,
- 0:39Speaker 1: whatever it might be. Lots of assets to choose from.
- 0:42Speaker 1: The future of money is here. If you use our link,
- 0:44Speaker 1: you're going to get up to two hundred dollars in.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Crypto to get started. So check it out. Let's go
- 0:49Speaker 2: over to a couple of topics today.
- 0:51Speaker 1: This I think was the biggest news of the day already,
- 0:54Speaker 1: and that is Standard Charter has said that bitcoin will
- 0:57Speaker 1: hit all time high by Q two. That'll be interesting
- 1:01Speaker 1: if we see that kind of movement firm is now
- 1:04Speaker 1: saying that the leading cryptocurrency is set to target around
- 1:06Speaker 1: one twenty musument on that for you guys, amid its
- 1:10Speaker 1: recent performance, and of course right now we're trading that
- 1:12Speaker 1: mid nineties range. I think the key here is really
- 1:15Speaker 1: a lot of the narrative that has been placed around
- 1:17Speaker 1: the macro. Remember we still have in the month of
- 1:20Speaker 1: May a FED meeting, and we still have a lot
- 1:24Speaker 1: of situations that are occurring around inflation. But at the
- 1:27Speaker 1: most part, I think tariffs and possibly the impact of
- 1:30Speaker 1: those may be on the latter side of things in
- 1:34Speaker 1: terms of have we got past the worst part of it,
- 1:37Speaker 1: and that could be a big indicator. Bitcoin above ninety
- 1:40Speaker 1: four on May second coming from polymarket right now, and
- 1:44Speaker 1: that is around a fifty to fifty chance, so holding
- 1:47Speaker 1: it about forty seven percent right now as we record this.
- 1:50Speaker 1: By May second, let me know in the comments down below,
- 1:52Speaker 1: do you think by early May we will see above
- 1:56Speaker 1: ninety four k or do you think we'll see a
- 1:57Speaker 1: little bit of retracement on bitcoin. Let me take a
- 2:01Speaker 1: look at one thing that's happening out there, and that
- 2:03Speaker 1: is coinbase is targeting a four to eight percent return
- 2:07Speaker 1: with their new bitcoin you fund. And remember though that
- 2:10Speaker 1: this is only available for people outside the United States. Great,
- 2:13Speaker 1: but the point is this is still a lot of
- 2:15Speaker 1: a return guarantee that's coming in, and especially from someone
- 2:19Speaker 1: like coinbase, this could put them at odds with some
- 2:22Speaker 1: of the best houses out there and exchanges out there
- 2:25Speaker 1: and be able to get some market share outside the
- 2:27Speaker 1: United States. That in itself is a big, big plus
- 2:31Speaker 1: going forward, all right. So another thing that's happening in
- 2:33Speaker 1: the markets this week is the MAX seven earnings, and
- 2:36Speaker 1: of course you've got Tesla their miss on EPs and
- 2:40Speaker 1: revenue guidance, Alphabet did beat and Microsoft coming in on Wednesday,
- 2:44Speaker 1: Meta Wednesday, Thursday is Amazon, and then Thursday also is
- 2:49Speaker 1: of course Apple, with Nvidia hitting also on Wednesday of
- 2:53Speaker 1: next week. So we've got a lot happening, guys in
- 2:56Speaker 1: terms of where we're going to see the current market
- 2:59Speaker 1: and the MAX and I don't know. The key here,
- 3:01Speaker 1: I think is are we going to be looking at
- 3:03Speaker 1: liquidity coming out of the traditional markets and start to
- 3:08Speaker 1: move into some of these risk markets. I think that
- 3:10Speaker 1: is the thing that everybody's watching right now.
- 3:13Speaker 2: You also look.
- 3:14Speaker 1: At US Treasury Secretary Besson, who says he's a bit
- 3:17Speaker 1: surprised that markets rallied after his comments about de escalation
- 3:21Speaker 1: with China, because he basically says, we didn't say anything new.
- 3:24Speaker 2: It's really up to China to de escalate.
- 3:26Speaker 1: I don't know if I agree with that, but I
- 3:28Speaker 1: want to play a clip for you that'll go into
- 3:30Speaker 1: a little bit more detail on this de escalation.
- 3:32Speaker 2: Take a look, well, Andrew.
- 3:35Speaker 3: First of all, to clarify the meeting with JP Morgan,
- 3:38Speaker 3: there was nothing that I said in that meeting, nothing
- 3:41Speaker 3: that I had not already said in the mainstream media
- 3:44Speaker 3: seventy two hours before. So I was surprised they when
- 3:48Speaker 3: the market rallied, And if you were to look at
- 3:51Speaker 3: what happened after the meeting, after I set down for
- 3:55Speaker 3: a press conference, markets sold off. So if you bought
- 3:58Speaker 3: during the meeting, you actually to get to the metior
- 4:02Speaker 3: question that it's a complicated relationship with China, but it
- 4:08Speaker 3: is my belief that which is unsustainable will not be sustained.
- 4:13Speaker 3: And again, the Chinese business model is predicated on selling
- 4:19Speaker 3: subsidized goods into the US and it's just not a
- 4:25Speaker 3: long term business strategy for them. So I am sure
- 4:29Speaker 3: that they will come and want to de escalate.
- 4:33Speaker 1: All right, So whether that is going to happen with China,
- 4:36Speaker 1: The key here, I think is that maybe Trump and
- 4:39Speaker 1: the administration have started to say.
- 4:42Speaker 2: All right, we're going to flex a little bit.
- 4:43Speaker 1: We're going to start making deals that are going to
- 4:45Speaker 1: be good for their countries, other countries as well as
- 4:48Speaker 1: the United States. That is the key point I think
- 4:51Speaker 1: a lot of people are trying to get to and
- 4:53Speaker 1: whether or not it's US coming to table or China
- 4:56Speaker 1: that I think is going to be maybe negligent to
- 4:59Speaker 1: a certain extent, The question is do we actually get
- 5:02Speaker 1: something out in the open and a trade deal coming.
- 5:04Speaker 1: I want to play this next clip that kind of
- 5:06Speaker 1: points to US versus China that should come to the table.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Take a look.
- 5:10Speaker 4: Is it up to China to come to the table?
- 5:13Speaker 5: You know it can't be. We kind of started this war.
- 5:16Speaker 5: And my fear, Sarah, to your point, is that they
- 5:19Speaker 5: just are going to be able to absorb so much
- 5:21Speaker 5: more pain than we will be in this process. Why well,
- 5:25Speaker 5: first of all, their government controls everything, right, and so
- 5:30Speaker 5: they really do have an authoritarian regime. President g isn't
- 5:33Speaker 5: coming up for reelection. They culturally think in multi generational timeframes,
- 5:38Speaker 5: not to year election cycles. And so, you know, my
- 5:41Speaker 5: fear is that even if the administration the president is
- 5:44Speaker 5: right and this is a way to reshore domestic manufacturing,
- 5:48Speaker 5: are we going to have the patients to get there
- 5:51Speaker 5: and wait them out. And my fear is, frankly, China
- 5:55Speaker 5: is going to be much more patient than we're going
- 5:57Speaker 5: to be capable of being when US consumers find the
- 6:00Speaker 5: shells empty and prices going.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Up, all right, So we'll see if that occurs. Are
- 6:05Speaker 1: we going to truly see shells empty out there in
- 6:09Speaker 1: the sense of, you know, the the items that come
- 6:12Speaker 1: in from China. Let me know what you guys think
- 6:14Speaker 1: if you if this you feel is going to have
- 6:17Speaker 1: a major impact on your lifestyle or not. Now you
- 6:21Speaker 1: have to look at some of the deals that are
- 6:22Speaker 1: being made. This was a statement by bess And just
- 6:25Speaker 1: today and he's basically said, hey, first trade deal might
- 6:28Speaker 1: come as early as this week. If that occurs and
- 6:31Speaker 1: we have some sort of major win this week, going
- 6:34Speaker 1: to say we the United States has a major win
- 6:36Speaker 1: on tariffs, this could be very positive for the markets.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Could see another leg up here, both on the traditional
- 6:43Speaker 1: stock market as well as with bitcoin and maybe even
- 6:45Speaker 1: some of her of the you know, selected assets in
- 6:48Speaker 1: the all coin side. But I want to go to
- 6:50Speaker 1: another uh you know clip right here because this is
- 6:53Speaker 1: one that came from the All In podcast and they
- 6:56Speaker 1: they have an interesting take on this, and there are
- 6:59Speaker 1: some varying opinions on how the market is being affected.
- 7:03Speaker 2: But take a look at this.
- 7:05Speaker 6: And there was some percentage of the market or some
- 7:08Speaker 6: probability that people were assigning to the fact that this
- 7:11Speaker 6: administration could be crazy enough to take the global economy
- 7:14Speaker 6: by leaving tariffs really high and letting this kind of run.
- 7:16Speaker 6: And I think that that's kind of being taken out
- 7:18Speaker 6: of the market, right.
- 7:19Speaker 7: But now that it's out of the market, that means
- 7:21Speaker 7: that the leverage there's less leverage. There's less leverage in
- 7:25Speaker 7: the conversation, and if the goal is to.
- 7:27Speaker 4: Do that, that's not true. That you're saying a critical
- 7:29Speaker 4: thing and that is not.
- 7:30Speaker 7: True, Well hold on. If if the goal is to
- 7:34Speaker 7: effectively pressure China, which I think is the ultimate goal,
- 7:39Speaker 7: I think as the bond market has spoken and as
- 7:42Speaker 7: Trump invests in the administration has said, Okay, we understand
- 7:46Speaker 7: where the where the floor is here? What we got
- 7:48Speaker 7: to do? I assume if you're Mark Carney, if you're
- 7:52Speaker 7: the EU, name your place, India, Japan, you say, I'll
- 7:55Speaker 7: make a deal with you. But you know, if you
- 7:58Speaker 7: thought you were, if you thought I was giving you
- 8:00Speaker 7: the world before, no, no, no, no no. You need
- 8:04Speaker 7: me as much as I need you, and you sat
- 8:06Speaker 7: you seemingly need me even more now.
- 8:08Speaker 4: So the part where I agree with you is that
- 8:10Speaker 4: last part. We've gone from minus two to maybe plus one,
- 8:14Speaker 4: and China's gone from plus four billion a day to
- 8:17Speaker 4: maybe zero or minus one. And I think that's what
- 8:22Speaker 4: instills the leverage that is required to get the deal done.
- 8:26Speaker 7: By the way, I think long term, the America has
- 8:29Speaker 7: got leverage here. Everybody wants to is ultimately going to
- 8:33Speaker 7: wan to invest in America, including China. There's no question
- 8:35Speaker 7: that we have the advantage on a long term basis.
- 8:38Speaker 7: The question is do we have the patients.
- 8:43Speaker 1: Well, that's a good point too that Sorkin is making
- 8:46Speaker 1: there is do we have the patients? Because it is
- 8:48Speaker 1: usually going to have to stretch across multi administrations, how
- 8:52Speaker 1: many people would say, well, look you, Jade Vance is
- 8:55Speaker 1: most likely going to be the candidate for the next
- 8:57Speaker 1: presidential run.
- 8:58Speaker 2: We could see another.
- 8:59Speaker 1: Twelve of your cycle moving into the Republican side that
- 9:02Speaker 1: would have at least some presence around this same concept
- 9:07Speaker 1: around putting pressure on China that I think is going
- 9:10Speaker 1: to be a big part of how the negotiations could
- 9:13Speaker 1: also look.
- 9:14Speaker 2: That could be at least.
- 9:15Speaker 1: In the sense of, yeah, we're willing to go much longer.
- 9:18Speaker 1: We think we can hold this, and if we continue
- 9:21Speaker 1: to put pressure on it, is there going to be
- 9:22Speaker 1: support from the United States voters? And I think that's
- 9:25Speaker 1: the bigger question going forward. The other thing they have
- 9:28Speaker 1: to consider right now is Bernstein taking a look at this,
- 9:31Speaker 1: saying bitcoin is prime for new highs, a lot of
- 9:33Speaker 1: corporate accumulation and ETF supply squeeze is going to intensify.
- 9:39Speaker 1: And I think this is something that I agree with.
- 9:41Speaker 1: I'm starting to actually see this in action. So here
- 9:45Speaker 1: quick story. A couple of CEOs, high profile CEOs I
- 9:49Speaker 1: talked to last week and we had this conversation about
- 9:52Speaker 1: should I put bitcoin on the balance sheet and should
- 9:55Speaker 1: I maybe consider some USDC or stable coins be able
- 9:58Speaker 1: to go into that narrow and earn you know, some
- 10:01Speaker 1: yield on that. There are a lot of structures in
- 10:04Speaker 1: which now companies are actually considering these moves, and if
- 10:07Speaker 1: it does go through, then I would agree with Bernstein.
- 10:10Speaker 2: I think this is going to be a big one.
- 10:12Speaker 2: Right here.
- 10:12Speaker 1: The expanding corporate accumulation race and returning exchange traded fund
- 10:16Speaker 1: inflows which we're already seeing are good indicator suggesting that
- 10:20Speaker 1: we could see a supply squeeze. I don't know that
- 10:22Speaker 1: that would necessarily be the case, but it could be.
- 10:25Speaker 2: And if it is.
- 10:26Speaker 1: Then yes, we will see an all time high by
- 10:29Speaker 1: Q two or in Q two, much like what Standard
- 10:32Speaker 1: Chartered is talking about.
- 10:33Speaker 2: Right there.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Another point I want to hit on right here. The
- 10:36Speaker 1: S and P can rise another point and a half
- 10:38Speaker 1: in the next three days and erase all of April's losses.
- 10:41Speaker 1: It will be the first time since nineteen fifty stocks
- 10:44Speaker 1: that have been able to fully recover from a ten
- 10:47Speaker 1: percent monthly loss. And you've got to remember, we've seen
- 10:51Speaker 1: both media presentations over this last several weeks that this
- 10:55Speaker 1: is the end. You know, we are going to see,
- 10:57Speaker 1: you know, the stock Parker completely disintegrate and we're going
- 11:01Speaker 1: into recession now. By granted, I don't know that we're
- 11:04Speaker 1: out of a recession scare yet, I think there's still
- 11:07Speaker 1: a lot of pressure here from the economic side of
- 11:09Speaker 1: things and also the macro component.
- 11:11Speaker 2: But the fact that.
- 11:12Speaker 1: We've been able to erase those market percentages. Now, granted
- 11:16Speaker 1: there's not a lot of liquidity and a lot of
- 11:18Speaker 1: volume that's flowing through the market, but that is the
- 11:21Speaker 1: key factor here, is that it has already returned. Now,
- 11:24Speaker 1: the question I have is was this a great just by.
- 11:27Speaker 2: The dip moment?
- 11:29Speaker 1: And many people are taking a look at we got
- 11:31Speaker 1: in and should you continue to get in?
- 11:33Speaker 2: Is the real question.
- 11:35Speaker 1: President Trump says when tariff's cut, many people's income taxes
- 11:39Speaker 1: will be substantially reduced. Now this is a weight and
- 11:42Speaker 1: see for me, if Trump follows through on this and
- 11:48Speaker 1: we see an actual tax reduction, especially in the under
- 11:52Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty K employment sector, that will be
- 11:57Speaker 1: a massive shot in the arm toward Yes, they believed
- 12:02Speaker 1: in what was going on, And the question is, now
- 12:04Speaker 1: does that tax offset the cost that the inflationary scenario
- 12:08Speaker 1: could be playing into this, even though that could be still,
- 12:11Speaker 1: you know, somewhat trans transitory. But I think all of
- 12:15Speaker 1: this plays out over the next twelve to eighteen months,
- 12:17Speaker 1: and of course it has to because we're moving into
- 12:20Speaker 1: a midterm that will be highly affected by how Trump's
- 12:24Speaker 1: administration is performing.
- 12:25Speaker 2: Right now, I'm going to go to a clip.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Real quick, because this is where it gets interesting in
- 12:30Speaker 1: reference to just the overall classes. When you think of
- 12:34Speaker 1: the economic classes out there, a lot of people in
- 12:37Speaker 1: the upper class have not necessarily had pressures.
- 12:41Speaker 2: Maybe that's changing now. Take a look.
- 12:43Speaker 8: Researchers at bann And Companies say the consumer Outlook score
- 12:46Speaker 8: for upper income Americans earning one hundred thousand dollars a
- 12:49Speaker 8: year or more had its sharpest drop in April, and
- 12:53Speaker 8: it is near its lowest level in seven years now.
- 12:57Speaker 8: Separate report finds about two thirds of uppercome earners sixty
- 13:01Speaker 8: seven percent say they are stressed about their finances, and
- 13:04Speaker 8: that's according to the CNBC survey Monkey Your Money poll,
- 13:08Speaker 8: and sixty nine percent say tariffs are causing them financial stress.
- 13:13Speaker 8: As a result of tariff news, one third thirty three
- 13:16Speaker 8: percent say they have delayed or avoided purchases, and fourteen
- 13:20Speaker 8: percent say they've stocked up. About half fifty two percent
- 13:23Speaker 8: have made no changes. What's interesting is how many more
- 13:26Speaker 8: people with that income level compared to those who are
- 13:30Speaker 8: fifty two hundred thousand or fifty thousand or less are
- 13:33Speaker 8: now saying that tariffs are negatively impacting their finance.
- 13:37Speaker 9: Yeah, it's hugely regressive for people who are spending most
- 13:41Speaker 9: of their money on a week by week or month
- 13:44Speaker 9: by month basis.
- 13:45Speaker 8: The other thing that's interesting is how many people believe
- 13:47Speaker 8: that we are headed for a recession.
- 13:49Speaker 9: Wonder when that becomes a self fulfilling prophecy exactly.
- 13:52Speaker 8: And again, these are folks with the most discretionary income.
- 13:55Speaker 8: What they're seeing in middle and lower income is middle
- 13:57Speaker 8: income are using a little bit more, but lower incomers
- 14:01Speaker 8: saying we're going to be able to be okay because
- 14:03Speaker 8: we're going to use debt to finance everything. That's very scary.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Well all right, So a lot of things to unpack there,
- 14:11Speaker 1: and I think some of this is right now is
- 14:15Speaker 1: a real consideration that we are seeing upper income individuals
- 14:19Speaker 1: that are finally starting to see a little bit of
- 14:21Speaker 1: the pressure.
- 14:21Speaker 2: But I think the real point you.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Have to look at is the fact that are we
- 14:25Speaker 1: really seeing the differences in places that you spend the money.
- 14:30Speaker 1: So I think you have to consider that a couple
- 14:32Speaker 1: of research pieces that we had done last week was
- 14:35Speaker 1: still showing almost an all time high of consumers going
- 14:39Speaker 1: still going out there doing a traditional shopping Now, is
- 14:42Speaker 1: there a supply chain that could be affected, especially with
- 14:45Speaker 1: some of the things that are happening within China.
- 14:47Speaker 2: Yes, there could be. Would they shift their.
- 14:49Speaker 1: Funds to something else? Is the question mark that I
- 14:52Speaker 1: think a lot of people are asking. Sixty percent of
- 14:55Speaker 1: CEOs now are expecting a recession in the next six
- 14:59Speaker 1: months due to tear of CNBC coming in on this,
- 15:02Speaker 1: and I will.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Agree with this.
- 15:03Speaker 1: As we talk with a lot of CEOs and brand
- 15:06Speaker 1: leaders in other industries, especially in the restaurant space, this
- 15:09Speaker 1: is one of the big factors they are concerned about,
- 15:12Speaker 1: and that is that the consumer spending power may not
- 15:15Speaker 1: necessarily be weakening.
- 15:16Speaker 2: It may be that they.
- 15:18Speaker 1: Are starting to stockpile their spending power looking at maybe
- 15:23Speaker 1: going after some wealth changing alternatives. And what I mean
- 15:26Speaker 1: by that is, remember in these kinds of times, there's
- 15:29Speaker 1: going to be deals out there in all sorts of
- 15:31Speaker 1: things that maybe someone that is starting to look at
- 15:34Speaker 1: that and say, I'm going to maybe try to go
- 15:36Speaker 1: in and get a piece of real estate, or go
- 15:38Speaker 1: get that car or whatever it might be that I'm
- 15:40Speaker 1: looking for. That could be actually coming down in price
- 15:44Speaker 1: due to this pressure overall. So there are some factors
- 15:46Speaker 1: that I think could play into that whether or not
- 15:48Speaker 1: we see a recession. A lot of macro numbers still
- 15:51Speaker 1: have to point at considerable amounts of reduction in GDP,
- 15:55Speaker 1: which is you know, pretty much the definition. And we'll
- 15:59Speaker 1: see if this has actually happens. Right now, Americans now
- 16:02Speaker 1: are expecting inflation to sort six and a half percent
- 16:05Speaker 1: within the next year, highest reading since November of nineteen
- 16:08Speaker 1: eighty one. This will be a huge deal if this happens.
- 16:15Speaker 1: I think that's the question is will we see this
- 16:18Speaker 1: kind of acceleration. Our next inflationary print coming up just
- 16:22Speaker 1: here in a few weeks, might give us a little
- 16:25Speaker 1: bit of indicator, because remember last print we had it
- 16:27Speaker 1: regressed some so still looking pretty sharp right now. Another
- 16:32Speaker 1: thing right now you got to look at it in
- 16:33Speaker 1: terms of the market, is what's happening in DC this
- 16:36Speaker 1: week in Congress and crypto entering a pivotal period. We'll
- 16:39Speaker 1: see stablecoin bills waiting for a vote this week. Also,
- 16:42Speaker 1: the market structure legislation will be releasing soon, and then
- 16:45Speaker 1: Trump is of course calling for all of this to
- 16:47Speaker 1: be done before August, which is a big deal. Congress
- 16:51Speaker 1: is tied up with a lot of macro issues at
- 16:53Speaker 1: the same time. One other thing that Ron failed to
- 16:56Speaker 1: mention there is the tax bill, and that also could
- 16:59Speaker 1: be lining up for an approval later in the summer.
- 17:02Speaker 1: All of this coming down into that August period time period,
- 17:06Speaker 1: so a very critical time as we start to move in.
- 17:08Speaker 1: Remember the markets always like may. Is it one of
- 17:12Speaker 1: those all time high opportunities where you sell, step back
- 17:14Speaker 1: and wait for it, or will we continue to see
- 17:17Speaker 1: some volatility at mainly because of the regulatory scenario that
- 17:22Speaker 1: could be playing out into June July, as August could
- 17:26Speaker 1: be the deadline for Congress going forward. Other things that
- 17:29Speaker 1: are happening this month and next is of course token
- 17:32Speaker 1: Dubai Token twenty forty nine in Dubai's coming up. This
- 17:35Speaker 1: will be another major event where we're going to see
- 17:38Speaker 1: probably a lot of announcements, and you will consider announcements
- 17:42Speaker 1: from almost every major chain out there. One of the
- 17:45Speaker 1: big ones that we're watching right now, of course is Swee.
- 17:47Speaker 1: We've talked about them before. They're having their base camp project.
- 17:51Speaker 1: This is a Channel partner, by the way, and they're
- 17:53Speaker 1: doing this in Dubai. At the same time, from what
- 17:56Speaker 1: I'm hearing from them is there is going to be
- 17:59Speaker 1: a major announcement at that event, so stay tuned. We'll
- 18:03Speaker 1: be covering that also, along with more news coming out
- 18:06Speaker 1: of Tokun twenty forty nine. Don't forget next week our
- 18:08Speaker 1: next month, we have the XRP Vegas event. You also
- 18:11Speaker 1: have Salona, New York, and you have Bitcoin Las Vegas,
- 18:16Speaker 1: all happening in the month of May, so a very
- 18:18Speaker 1: interesting time for crypto as a whole. Market participation has
- 18:22Speaker 1: been weak despite the recent rally. This is something that
- 18:24Speaker 1: everybody needs to pay attention to. Share of the S
- 18:27Speaker 1: and P five hundred stocks are trading above their two
- 18:29Speaker 1: hundred day moving average, currently standing around thirty percent, but
- 18:32Speaker 1: by comparison, this year's peak was fifty seven percent in February,
- 18:37Speaker 1: so big difference here right now. Additionally, the share of
- 18:40Speaker 1: S ANDP trading above their fifty day is only at
- 18:43Speaker 1: thirty two all of this, while the share of NASTAQ
- 18:46Speaker 1: one hundred stocks trading above their two hundred is at
- 18:49Speaker 1: thirty six, still half of the twenty twenty five peak,
- 18:52Speaker 1: so it still has a long way to go yet
- 18:55Speaker 1: for us to see a full recovery. I know this
- 18:58Speaker 1: has been a definite market correction to the positive. My
- 19:03Speaker 1: question to you guys is, do you think we're out
- 19:05Speaker 1: of the woods right now? Let me know in the
- 19:07Speaker 1: comments down below.
- 19:08Speaker 2: Let's go over.
- 19:09Speaker 1: Actually, let's go over and look at the charts real quick.
- 19:11Speaker 1: One thing to consider. I'm looking at the daily on
- 19:13Speaker 1: bitcoin right now, and this was a pretty significant move
- 19:17Speaker 1: over this range right here, which all went all the
- 19:20Speaker 1: way back to the tenth of April, up almost twenty
- 19:23Speaker 1: nine percent right now as we're trading today at about
- 19:25Speaker 1: ninety three eight.
- 19:27Speaker 2: But here's the thing.
- 19:27Speaker 1: When you see those kind of rises in some of
- 19:30Speaker 1: these situations, it could put a little bit of pressure
- 19:34Speaker 1: on the market. We could see a little bit of
- 19:35Speaker 1: a retracement. Will it go back down to where we
- 19:38Speaker 1: saw it here recently at seventy five k That is
- 19:42Speaker 1: the question market's you know, the seventy five thousand dollars
- 19:45Speaker 1: question is do you get a chance to dip back
- 19:47Speaker 1: into bitcoin at that price?
- 19:49Speaker 2: Many of the experts out there, I've been.
- 19:50Speaker 1: Watching quite a few of the guys who've come on
- 19:53Speaker 1: our show who are very big in bitcoin, and I
- 19:56Speaker 1: won't call them maxes but they're very astute to what's
- 19:58Speaker 1: happening in the bitcoin community. They're saying, not a chance.
- 20:02Speaker 1: We are beyond that now. So if you get a
- 20:04Speaker 1: chance because you miss this run from seventy five k,
- 20:07Speaker 1: do you dollar cost average? I think that's the angle
- 20:10Speaker 1: in which you have to take to kind of stay
- 20:12Speaker 1: with this market as it's going. And do we get
- 20:14Speaker 1: an all time high in this queue two? If that happens, guys,
- 20:18Speaker 1: we're talking one twenty. That's still a lot of juice
- 20:22Speaker 1: led to be left to be squeezed. So let's take
- 20:24Speaker 1: a look also at Ethereum holding at a seventeen sixty
- 20:26Speaker 1: five after it had eclipped almost eighteen little over eighteen
- 20:30Speaker 1: hundred over the weekend. Suie, of course, has been up
- 20:33Speaker 1: and still holding after a big run right here over
- 20:36Speaker 1: the last several days. Let me know what you guys
- 20:38Speaker 1: are trading right now. What is it that you're getting into.
- 20:41Speaker 1: If you're going into crypto, all coins, bitcoin, ether, are

- 20:48Speaker 1: earnings all of that dropping the comments down below. If
