Latest / The Paul Barron Crypto Show / Market Selloff Incoming?
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Let's get into the market today. We're going to be
- 0:01Speaker 1: breaking down everything like Bitcoin, the AI trade. Is it
- 0:05Speaker 1: time to do it? And we'll also take a look
- 0:08Speaker 1: at some of the breaking news. We've got things coming
- 0:10Speaker 1: in from XRP, from Circle, Ethereum. In general, I think
- 0:13Speaker 1: what we're seeing in the market right now is maybe
- 0:16Speaker 1: a little bit of a stall. The question is, does
- 0:18Speaker 1: this perform well? By the end of the year, we'll
- 0:20Speaker 1: break into all that good stuff with Evan Alda, who's
- 0:22Speaker 1: going to be joining me here in a moment. Before
- 0:25Speaker 1: we get started on that, I do want to, of course,
- 0:27Speaker 1: thank our sponsor, and that is Robinhood. If you guys
- 0:29Speaker 1: have not checked out Robinhood, I want you to do
- 0:31Speaker 1: it right now. And that, of course, is just jump over.
- 0:35Speaker 1: You guys can trade 24-7 over on Robinhood. And it's
- 0:39Speaker 1: very easy to set up, too. This is something that
- 0:41Speaker 1: you can get into ETFs, options, futures, obviously stocks and crypto. This,
- 0:48Speaker 1: of course, also has one of the best tools out
- 0:50Speaker 1: there in terms of their new advanced trading tools. And
- 0:53Speaker 1: if you haven't checked it out, you need to because
- 0:56Speaker 1: it is one of the tools I think that people
- 0:59Speaker 1: will be using more and more. So you guys can
- 1:01Speaker 1: use our link. It's going to give you up to
- 1:03Speaker 1: 200 bucks in a stock of your choosing. So use
- 1:08Speaker 1: the link down below and just get started on using Robinhood.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Let's go into it today. And I want to start
- 1:14Speaker 1: off with Evan and look at the market in the
- 1:16Speaker 1: sense of whether or not we are in the right
- 1:19Speaker 1: trade or not. So I want to welcome in Mr.
- 1:21Speaker 2: Evan Aldo.
- 1:22Speaker 3: How are you, Evan?
- 1:23Speaker 2: Doing well. Doing well. Always great talking to you, Paul.
- 1:25Speaker 4: All right.
- 1:25Speaker 1: So the right trade is the question. You could look
- 1:29Speaker 1: at many people saying, hey, listen, I'm always looking at
- 1:32Speaker 1: diversifying or maybe people are looking at pure narrative trades.
- 1:37Speaker 1: And if you've been in the AI narrative trade, if
- 1:40Speaker 1: you look at the S & P 500, you can
- 1:42Speaker 1: kind of see we have been nothing but up for
- 1:45Speaker 1: the most part since March. So when you look at
- 1:48Speaker 1: the AI narrative in general today, Evan, what's your current
- 1:52Speaker 1: position right now? Are you still diversified into stocks and
- 1:55Speaker 1: crypto and what else?
- 1:57Speaker 2: So I don't have too much exposure to AI right now.
- 2:01Speaker 2: My view is that Bitcoin potentially would outperform or more
- 2:05Speaker 2: very likely would outperform AI in general in the second
- 2:08Speaker 2: half of this year and potentially over the next two
- 2:11Speaker 2: years because Bitcoin has been so depressed against the video.
- 2:13Speaker 2: It was down about 94%, I think. against NVIDIA as
- 2:16Speaker 2: of June 31st. So that was my consensus. I am
- 2:21Speaker 2: still pretty heavy Bitcoin. I have Ethereum. I took some
- 2:24Speaker 2: partial profits on some of the riskier crypto plays because
- 2:27Speaker 2: we've jumped up a lot and I was up 100%.
- 2:29Speaker 2: on certain proxies and certain things. And then I converted
- 2:32Speaker 2: a lot of those over into XLE, which is the
- 2:34Speaker 2: energy ETF and oil, which I thought that oil and
- 2:38Speaker 2: energy would outperform Bitcoin and AI, potentially from October to
- 2:42Speaker 2: the end of the year. That's why I made that trade.
- 2:44Speaker 2: And so far, that's been doing well. Now I'm planning
- 2:47Speaker 2: on converting that back over to crypto, you know, when
- 2:49Speaker 2: the time may be right, that may be as soon
- 2:51Speaker 2: as a few weeks up to a few months, depending
- 2:53Speaker 2: on how the momentum plays out. So yeah.
- 2:56Speaker 1: You've got the U.S. issuing fresh Iranian-related sanctions. So this
- 3:01Speaker 1: could be a scenario right now where we could see
- 3:04Speaker 1: the energy stocks and oil in general continue to move.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Are there other stocks that you've seen within the energy sector?
- 3:12Speaker 1: I know this is the ETF side, but what about
- 3:14Speaker 1: getting just direct exposure, something like a Bloom Energy or
- 3:17Speaker 1: something of that nature?
- 3:18Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a few, definitely. I mean, you know, the
- 3:21Speaker 2: big ones like ExxonMobil. There's the Occidental Petroleum one. I
- 3:24Speaker 2: think that's done pretty well. That's the one Berkshire Hathaway owns.
- 3:27Speaker 2: So there's definitely a few, yeah.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Okay, so let's take a quick look at Bitcoin on
- 3:33Speaker 1: your chart. And first of all, give me an insight,
- 3:37Speaker 1: because we saw this start to slide down. It looked
- 3:40Speaker 1: like it was going to lose 80K. Were you at
- 3:42Speaker 1: all worried.
- 3:42Speaker 3: That we could see a sub-80K Bitcoin?
- 3:46Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we probably will just based on seasonality
- 3:50Speaker 2: and healthy corrections. But that's not like that, the worst
- 3:52Speaker 2: thing in the world. Generally around this time, that midterm
- 3:54Speaker 2: kind of correction thing, usually you see at least 10%
- 3:57Speaker 2: to 20%. Usually it's somewhere between 10% and 20%. So 20%,
- 4:02Speaker 2: which I would say probably your worst case scenario, should
- 4:04Speaker 2: I have something crazy happening, is probably 69K. You could
- 4:08Speaker 2: skate by with 74K mid-70s. In all likelihood, you probably
- 4:13Speaker 2: do come lower. And I would say the thing that would,
- 4:16Speaker 2: and again, I mean, I think Bitcoin's still at a
- 4:17Speaker 2: pretty good price, 82K. I mean, I wouldn't sell my Bitcoin.
- 4:20Speaker 2: I'm not selling my Bitcoin here. But I think that
- 4:23Speaker 2: you may get kind of some trigger waves or something
- 4:25Speaker 2: on the two-day, similar to kind of what you saw
- 4:28Speaker 2: back here. So you may come down a bit more
- 4:30Speaker 2: into midterms. And then into maybe end of year 92K
- 4:35Speaker 2: or quarter one next year. So something like this, kind
- 4:37Speaker 2: of the healthy correction area is I think, you know,
- 4:40Speaker 2: the kind of the most likely scenario. So some consolidation,
- 4:43Speaker 2: nothing too, too bad. So, yeah.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Okay.
- 4:46Speaker 1: On that point with Bitcoin, you've got a customer or
- 4:51Speaker 1: people out there right now that are considering maybe buying
- 4:53Speaker 1: Bitcoin for the first time. Is this the place to
- 4:56Speaker 1: buy it right now? Or do you feel like we
- 4:59Speaker 1: could see something closer to this midterm election that could
- 5:03Speaker 1: push Bitcoin lower to where it could create another entry point.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think if you're, you know, the
- 5:11Speaker 2: type of people that don't have any Bitcoin right now,
- 5:13Speaker 2: I think it's kind of foolish to try to wait.
- 5:15Speaker 2: I would at least try to kind of DCA right
- 5:18Speaker 2: now in all likelihood you will see you know something's
- 5:21Speaker 2: a little bit lower than where we are right now
- 5:23Speaker 2: but keep in mind you know if you're somebody who
- 5:26Speaker 2: is you know waiting at 60k and didn't get in
- 5:29Speaker 2: when you know we were at peak you know extreme
- 5:31Speaker 2: fear and all those things and now you're waiting now
- 5:33Speaker 2: like it's kind of like you know the 60k area
- 5:37Speaker 2: was pretty obvious the low 60s was pretty obvious if
- 5:40Speaker 2: you're looking at fear and greed in history now is
- 5:43Speaker 2: still a good place so DCing from now until end
- 5:46Speaker 2: of year makes a lot of sense, especially if quarter
- 5:49Speaker 2: four has more weakness as it typically does in these
- 5:52Speaker 2: midterm election years.
- 5:54Speaker 1: Before we get into Ethereum, I want to take a
- 5:58Speaker 1: look at this right here, because I think this might
- 6:01Speaker 1: surprise people a little bit. And that is what's going
- 6:05Speaker 1: on with Tom Lee, because this guy just will not stop.
- 6:08Speaker 1: He is absolutely, I mean, come on, 5,000. He's still
- 6:12Speaker 1: calling for 5,000 end of year.
- 6:14Speaker 2: On ETH.
- 6:16Speaker 1: Now chart ETH for me and tell me this makes
- 6:20Speaker 1: sense to you, or does it?
- 6:21Speaker 2: Yeah, he makes Saylor sound very bearish here. I mean, yeah,
- 6:25Speaker 2: you know, in all likelihood, you do your typical kind
- 6:28Speaker 2: of correction. I mean, I guess there's a possibility we
- 6:30Speaker 2: could skate by with a $ 2, 300 bottom, but I think
- 6:34Speaker 2: somewhere between $ 2, 000 and $ 2, 100, you'd probably hit these areas.
- 6:37Speaker 2: And then into the year, hopefully recovering back to where
- 6:39Speaker 2: we are right now, maybe $ 3K, you know, something like
- 6:42Speaker 2: that would be kind of more realistic i don't know
- 6:45Speaker 2: where tom lee really comes up with these numbers didn't
- 6:47Speaker 2: you say 50k the other week it feels like they
- 6:49Speaker 2: change a.
- 6:50Speaker 1: Bit well no it's no he his long-term outlook is
- 6:54Speaker 1: 50k on eath uh which i'm still trying to put
- 6:57Speaker 1: my head around the other well part of it is
- 7:00Speaker 1: within funstrap but i think his listen he's talking his
- 7:03Speaker 1: book for many of you guys that are brand new
- 7:05Speaker 1: to crypto and maybe watching our show for the first
- 7:07Speaker 1: time just understand that bm and r is nearing in
- 7:12Speaker 1: on 5% of the supply of Ethereum. When that occurs,
- 7:16Speaker 1: and he's even gone on record saying that they're going
- 7:18Speaker 1: to stop buying and they're going to continue to just
- 7:20Speaker 1: earn performance, I think they're going to start to shifting
- 7:23Speaker 1: into some other tokens, probably something like Solana and a
- 7:26Speaker 1: handful of others. But Evan, I want to play this
- 7:28Speaker 1: video for you real quick because this is essentially where
- 7:32Speaker 1: I think he is looking at the market in general,
- 7:34Speaker 1: but you'll understand maybe his thesis behind this.
- 7:37Speaker 3: Here we go. Yes, good morning, Joe. That's right.
- 7:40Speaker 4: I think going into last week's jobs report, the market
- 7:45Speaker 4: had been working with a maximum hawkish Fed, one that
- 7:48Speaker 4: was going to raise three times, including a 75% chance
- 7:52Speaker 4: of an October hike.
- 7:54Speaker 3: This jobs report has been softer.
- 7:56Speaker 4: We get an inflation report in two weeks for September.
- 8:00Speaker 3: It does, in our view, we.
- 8:04Speaker 4: Believe there's these one-offs rolling off, and so I think
- 8:06Speaker 4: there's over the next six months, softer readings on inflation.
- 8:11Speaker 4: And that allows not only the Fed to kind of
- 8:13Speaker 4: walk back from its hawkishness, but I think it's going
- 8:15Speaker 4: to allow bond yields to actually sort of.
- 8:18Speaker 1: I want to stop it right there, because he said
- 8:20Speaker 1: softer inflation over the next six months. Are you in
- 8:25Speaker 1: that camp of that we could see softer inflation in
- 8:28Speaker 1: the next six months?
- 8:30Speaker 2: Yeah, probably, probably. I do think your yields are getting
- 8:35Speaker 2: ready to start to finally head down a little bit.
- 8:38Speaker 2: It would make sense. Look at the 30-year there, 5.6.
- 8:41Speaker 1: 10-year holding at 5.283 and the five-year at 5.057. So,
- 8:49Speaker 1: I mean, this would, I talked to Rebecca Walzer yesterday
- 8:53Speaker 1: and she, you know, off camera, her and I were
- 8:55Speaker 1: kind of going back and forth and she said a
- 8:57Speaker 1: lot of investors are now looking at these bonds as
- 9:02Speaker 1: an alternative. The problem, and she pulled this out in
- 9:04Speaker 1: the episode we did yesterday that I think a lot
- 9:06Speaker 1: of people miss, if you don't take that bond to maturity,
- 9:10Speaker 1: you end up losing money on these deals rather than
- 9:14Speaker 1: if you're out there trading in the market. So just
- 9:16Speaker 1: be aware of that. If this is a rotation going
- 9:19Speaker 1: into bonds versus maybe holding into other assets, including risk,
- 9:25Speaker 1: Be very careful with that. Now, with him saying that
- 9:28Speaker 1: is that inflation could get softer. You think it can.
- 9:32Speaker 1: Listen to the rest of this.
- 9:33Speaker 2: Here we go.
- 9:34Speaker 4: Normalize because the inflation sort of uncertainty starts to ease.
- 9:40Speaker 4: And I think there's a lot of clues because I
- 9:42Speaker 4: think tech stocks making new highs and crypto doing so well,
- 9:46Speaker 4: these can't do well in the face of tightening monetary conditions.
- 9:50Speaker 4: So I think that they're anticipating easier financial conditions ahead.
- 9:54Speaker 2: So you're reading a tea leaves in different markets for
- 9:58Speaker 2: what's going on.
- 9:59Speaker 3: That would be significant, Tom.
- 10:00Speaker 2: So when you said yields will normalize, what do you
- 10:03Speaker 2: think of normal yield?
- 10:04Speaker 4: All right.
- 10:05Speaker 1: So yields are going to normalize. He's basically saying this
- 10:09Speaker 1: is going to be a little bit less pressure from
- 10:11Speaker 1: the Fed. And it looks like right now there's going
- 10:13Speaker 1: to be a no change coming this month in October.
- 10:16Speaker 1: How much of an impact do you think that has
- 10:18Speaker 1: on crypto broader markets?
- 10:20Speaker 2: So a lot of times when you see a change
- 10:23Speaker 2: or a change from what they've been doing, it's the
- 10:25Speaker 2: last one they obviously raised. If you see a no change,
- 10:27Speaker 2: I think that's going to be bearish. I don't think
- 10:29Speaker 2: it's going to be as bullish as people think. I
- 10:31Speaker 2: think it could be bearish temporarily, like until after midterms,
- 10:34Speaker 2: maybe a month based on seasonality. Nothing too bad. Like
- 10:38Speaker 2: I said, I'm not that bearish. I mean, I think
- 10:39Speaker 2: they're going to go to 69K, maybe retest the Weekly 200,
- 10:43Speaker 2: which would be in the high 60s, low 70s by
- 10:45Speaker 2: the time we hit that. Something like that. You likely
- 10:48Speaker 2: would see TradFi cool off a little bit too. You
- 10:51Speaker 2: could see a 5% to 10% correction for the S
- 10:54Speaker 2: & P 500 between now and end of year. It
- 10:56Speaker 2: would make sense with seasonality. And then I think once
- 10:58Speaker 2: you get to quarter four or the FOMC meeting after
- 11:01Speaker 2: October's FOMC meeting, then you could start to recover and
- 11:06Speaker 2: see more upside.
- 11:07Speaker 1: Well, you look at the general market. Charles Schwab just
- 11:10Speaker 1: rolled out Bitcoin and ETH. for trading with 40 million clients.
- 11:14Speaker 1: 40 million clients, guys, just think about that for a second.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Their fees on crypto are going to be 0.75% per trade.
- 11:23Speaker 1: That's fairly competitive. And here's the other thing. They've got
- 11:27Speaker 1: plans to add Solana, Avalanche, Chainlink this year. So by
- 11:32Speaker 1: end of year, you're going to be able to trade
- 11:33Speaker 1: any one of those. Solana, Avalanche, Chainlink, Bitcoin, ETH. which
- 11:37Speaker 1: is a pretty big deal because even if you compare
- 11:39Speaker 1: that to other TradFi exchanges out there, something like a Fidelity,
- 11:43Speaker 1: this has been very competitive, I think, in the sense
- 11:46Speaker 1: of the market in general. Do you not think, Evan,
- 11:49Speaker 1: that that is going to draw in more traditional finance
- 11:52Speaker 1: people into crypto and start to move the market?
- 11:55Speaker 2: Yeah, probably December and then quarter one, definitely. For the
- 12:00Speaker 2: next couple of weeks, next month, probably not too much.
- 12:05Speaker 1: Okay, so let's chart ETH for a second because this is,
- 12:08Speaker 1: and I want to go past year-end here. Here we
- 12:12Speaker 1: are mid-October. You're basically 75 days out. When you look
- 12:17Speaker 1: at Ethereum in general, where do you point this year-end
- 12:21Speaker 1: and Q1 now?
- 12:24Speaker 2: So, yeah. Year end, I would say, well, I would
- 12:28Speaker 2: say temporarily, like from now to midterms, a little bit lower.
- 12:31Speaker 2: We could get away with this bottom. Year end, probably
- 12:34Speaker 2: where we are right now, if we're lucky, maybe $ 3, 000. Now,
- 12:37Speaker 2: here's where it gets interesting. Quarter one, quarter two, hopefully $ 4, 000.
- 12:42Speaker 2: I'm looking at some big, you know, kind of upside. $ 4, 000
- 12:46Speaker 2: could be our quarter one, February, March, if we're lucky.
- 12:49Speaker 2: Then quarter two, I think 2027 is going to be
- 12:51Speaker 2: a good year. Go ahead.
- 12:52Speaker 1: What's your thesis for that right now? Because you have
- 12:54Speaker 1: Paul Tudor Jones calling for a really bad 2027. Now, granted,
- 12:59Speaker 1: he's talking about TradFi markets. You have Tom Lee saying
- 13:03Speaker 1: we're going to get the biggest, you know, face ripping,
- 13:05Speaker 1: you know, bull run we've ever seen. What's your thesis
- 13:09Speaker 1: on why ETH could see a new high in Q1?
- 13:13Speaker 2: So seasonality, number one, once you get through that correction,
- 13:16Speaker 2: then the fundamentals are pretty good on ETH. You know,
- 13:18Speaker 2: like you mentioned, swab and a lot of money potentially
- 13:21Speaker 2: going into it. So those two things. Also, I mean,
- 13:23Speaker 2: usually those are two different extremes. You know, Tom Lee,
- 13:26Speaker 2: that's extreme bullish. Yeah. That's, you know, very big. Like,
- 13:29Speaker 2: it's usually somewhere in the middle. Like, it's usually bullish,
- 13:31Speaker 2: but not as crazy as, you know, people think. So
- 13:34Speaker 2: that would be the main consensus, I would think. Yeah.
- 13:37Speaker 1: Let's do a round of potential tokens for people. One
- 13:43Speaker 1: I want to take a look at has been Uniswap.
- 13:46Speaker 1: This is a trade we've been in and out of.
- 13:49Speaker 1: But Uniswap has pulled back here recently. You look at
- 13:53Speaker 1: Uniswap holding at $ 740 right now. This thing was trading
- 13:58Speaker 1: above $ 10, had spiked up to what was almost, what
- 14:02Speaker 1: was it? Yeah, just a little, almost $ 11. Is this
- 14:05Speaker 1: a trade you would make right now? Would you make
- 14:08Speaker 1: a Uniswap trade today?
- 14:11Speaker 3: Potentially.
- 14:12Speaker 2: You know, I'm waiting probably, I'd probably give it a
- 14:14Speaker 2: few more weeks. The thing that I'm waiting for is
- 14:17Speaker 2: kind of this two-day right here. So see this trigger
- 14:20Speaker 2: wave that formed? This is a momentum wave, you know,
- 14:22Speaker 2: kind of. a momentum shift. And we saw right here,
- 14:24Speaker 2: and that was a big jump up after this correction.
- 14:27Speaker 2: So we could have gotten away. You know, this is
- 14:28Speaker 2: enough where we could have potentially hit a bottom. Best
- 14:31Speaker 2: case scenario, 36%. That's cheaper. You know, for somebody who
- 14:34Speaker 2: likes Uniswap, this makes sense. I would be a little
- 14:37Speaker 2: bit more inclined to wait till this VWAP starts to
- 14:40Speaker 2: come up, give it a few more weeks of momentum,
- 14:42Speaker 2: potentially around the beginning of November, around midterms. So maybe
- 14:45Speaker 2: you get one more little drop down or something, then
- 14:48Speaker 2: you continue forward. But no, I think this is good.
- 14:51Speaker 2: Pretty good discount.
- 14:52Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 14:53Speaker 2: This is pretty good.
- 14:54Speaker 3: Okay.
- 14:55Speaker 1: We talked about the AI trade earlier near protocol hitting
- 14:59Speaker 1: all time high or most recently now trading at about
- 15:03Speaker 1: $ 5 and 25 cents. And it's been somewhat sideways here
- 15:07Speaker 1: over the past few days. Is this something that you
- 15:11Speaker 1: would continue to hold if you were holding near? Cause
- 15:14Speaker 1: we hold near right now.
- 15:16Speaker 3: So this is more for me. Do you hold near
- 15:18Speaker 3: right here?
- 15:19Speaker 1: Or do you look at an exit, take some profit
- 15:22Speaker 1: and maybe move along? Where would you where would you
- 15:25Speaker 1: play near right now?
- 15:27Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely a hold. And I think crypto in
- 15:29Speaker 2: general is definitely a hold right now. You're still at
- 15:31Speaker 2: a significant discount for anything that's got good fundamentals. I mean,
- 15:34Speaker 2: let's look at this. I mean, you're still significantly below
- 15:36Speaker 2: the all time high of $ 20. Yeah, almost nine bucks.
- 15:38Speaker 2: Long time ago. Yeah. But, yeah, I mean, short term,
- 15:44Speaker 2: it's likely you see some type of correction, maybe down
- 15:47Speaker 2: to $ 4 or something of that nature. Probably nothing too,
- 15:50Speaker 2: too bad, though. Just based on seasonality, a lot of
- 15:53Speaker 2: these things, you are losing some momentum. So, I mean,
- 15:56Speaker 2: I would be more inclined to look for maybe an
- 15:58Speaker 2: entry down here. And that same thing, it's similar on
- 16:01Speaker 2: a lot of these time frames. Once you get kind
- 16:05Speaker 2: of an anchor wave, once you lose momentum on the two-day,
- 16:08Speaker 2: which you likely will over the next month or something,
- 16:11Speaker 2: They get a trigger wave coming up like this. That's
- 16:14Speaker 2: when things start to look a lot better, especially if
- 16:16Speaker 2: you were to come down maybe high threes. And then
- 16:19Speaker 2: that's your quarter for correction. And then you kind of
- 16:24Speaker 2: recover at the end of the year, early next year. So, yeah.
- 16:27Speaker 3: Okay.
- 16:28Speaker 1: Well, with that being the case, you have two things
- 16:32Speaker 1: that could happen. One, we could see a major AI
- 16:34Speaker 1: reversal trade. that could impact some of the AI cryptos
- 16:39Speaker 1: and we could see Bitcoin E Solana pop off in general.
- 16:44Speaker 1: Did you hear Solana got their event canceled in China?
- 16:48Speaker 3: Did you see that?
- 16:49Speaker 2: Yeah, a little weird, but I don't know.
- 16:51Speaker 1: So when they launched and then they took over a
- 16:53Speaker 1: building or I don't know how they did it, but
- 16:57Speaker 1: brilliant marketing on Solana's part. But at the same time,
- 17:00Speaker 1: the Chinese officials came in and shut it down. Which
- 17:04Speaker 1: was not surprising. You know, CZ was even commenting on this.
- 17:08Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 17:09Speaker 1: I wonder if he, huh, that's interesting. Because he kind
- 17:12Speaker 1: of called it out that he, BNB, Binance, was not
- 17:15Speaker 1: able to get something like that done. And that he
- 17:18Speaker 1: was surprised that Solana was able to. But you got
- 17:23Speaker 1: Breakpoint coming up next month in November.
- 17:25Speaker 3: What about Solana? Let's take a look there.
- 17:27Speaker 1: Give me a year-end price for a Solana. Right now
- 17:30Speaker 1: it is on the move, back up, reclaiming, I think, $ 105K.
- 17:34Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, best case scenario here for your year-end price,
- 17:37Speaker 2: probably 140 if things go really well. 140 to 150
- 17:40Speaker 2: if things go really well. This does look stronger than
- 17:43Speaker 2: some other things because you have a similar situation here.
- 17:45Speaker 2: You have that jump up. So if the same things happens,
- 17:49Speaker 2: you're looking at 150. Now, based on what we normally
- 17:52Speaker 2: see in these midterm election years, you know, there's a
- 17:54Speaker 2: decent shot you could come down in 97 again, potentially
- 17:57Speaker 2: coming down in 90. All that would do is probably
- 18:00Speaker 2: delay the inevitable getting back up to 150. These areas,
- 18:04Speaker 2: you know, instead of by end of year, it's probably
- 18:05Speaker 2: quarter one or quarter two of next year, you know,
- 18:08Speaker 2: more extended out if that does happen. So I think
- 18:10Speaker 2: one of these two scenarios is more likely based on
- 18:13Speaker 2: seasonality and kind of what we're seeing, you know, probably
- 18:17Speaker 2: correct a little bit more at least, and then you
- 18:19Speaker 2: kind of recover. So, I mean, in the grand scheme
- 18:22Speaker 2: of things, great buy here at $ 100, obviously heavily discounted.
- 18:25Speaker 2: I mean, so yeah, it looks good overall.
- 18:28Speaker 1: What is your pick for this bull run? If you're looking,
- 18:34Speaker 1: and I only want two altcoins. I know you're going
- 18:37Speaker 1: to pick ETH and Bitcoin, so throw those out. Two altcoins,
- 18:41Speaker 1: what's your picks for this bull run?
- 18:44Speaker 2: Solana could be one of them. And if you look
- 18:47Speaker 2: at ETH, Solana versus ETH, that's what came to my mind.
- 18:50Speaker 2: It's been outperforming Ethereum. So as long as you hold
- 18:53Speaker 2: these lows here, I do think Solana can make, can
- 18:57Speaker 2: be a huge, huge player here. In terms of another altcoin,
- 19:01Speaker 2: oh man, I'm trying to think, trying to think here.
- 19:05Speaker 3: Maybe Chainlink.
- 19:06Speaker 2: Okay, Chainlink. All right. Maybe. That's one I've kept my
- 19:11Speaker 2: eye on. As long as you can hold $ 11, I would.
- 19:14Speaker 2: you know, be optimistic on this. So maybe, maybe.
- 19:19Speaker 1: My, I have two, I still think Uniswap and Jupiter
- 19:22Speaker 1: are going to end up being major plays in this neck.
- 19:26Speaker 1: Now those are, you know, considerably different, you know, market caps,
- 19:31Speaker 1: you know, than what we're talking about in the top 10,
- 19:33Speaker 1: but I'm still holding positions in both those tokens. And
- 19:37Speaker 1: I like both of what they're doing, you know, from
- 19:40Speaker 1: an ecosystem standpoint, but more importantly, What I like is
- 19:44Speaker 1: the fact that we are seeing real advancement in both
- 19:46Speaker 1: of the apps, which is going to increase adoption, I think. Uniswap, obviously,
- 19:52Speaker 1: picking up on the ETH bandwidth, our ecosystem, and then,
- 19:56Speaker 1: of course, Jupyter within Solana. Both those, I think, could
- 20:00Speaker 1: be doing very well, for sure. Let's talk about this
- 20:04Speaker 1: right here, and that is the CrossRiver deal with Ripple.
- 20:11Speaker 1: So Cross River Bank, and everybody remembers this, is one
- 20:13Speaker 1: of the crypto-friendly banks out there, but they're now embedding Ripple, RLUSD,
- 20:20Speaker 1: Ripple's USD stablecoin, on the XRP ledger into its core
- 20:25Speaker 1: banking infrastructure, which is expanding faster payment. Now, I know
- 20:29Speaker 1: many of you guys say, well, Paul, you just did
- 20:30Speaker 1: a video that said our XRPL is not getting adopted.
- 20:37Speaker 1: And it To this point, it still is not. These
- 20:41Speaker 1: deals that they're making are great for, I think, Ripple
- 20:45Speaker 1: and maybe long-term, definitely as we start to see adoption happening.
- 20:50Speaker 1: The real question is how long before that occurs when
- 20:53Speaker 1: we actually start to see transactions coming in. Because when
- 20:56Speaker 1: you look at the RLUSD stablecoin, we haven't seen a
- 21:00Speaker 1: lot of growth in it. And that has been the
- 21:03Speaker 1: concern I've had. I love to see these kind of things.
- 21:06Speaker 1: But what does that do to the XRP price right now? Remember,
- 21:11Speaker 1: Ripple's still holding a ton of XRP and they divest
- 21:15Speaker 1: a certain amount every so often. So you just have
- 21:19Speaker 1: to look at the amount that they're starting to sell, obviously,
- 21:23Speaker 1: to fund operations and acquisitions and partnerships like this right here. XRP,
- 21:28Speaker 1: chart XRP right now and give me a point by
- 21:33Speaker 1: end of year.
- 21:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd love to. So XRP looks better than a
- 21:39Speaker 2: lot of things right now. You're making a higher low
- 21:42Speaker 2: right here that looks pretty good. Your daily has some potential.
- 21:46Speaker 2: Your daily has some potential. Even if you do... I mean,
- 21:49Speaker 2: I don't think you're going to go back to that $ 1. 14 here.
- 21:52Speaker 2: Even if you do go a little bit lower here,
- 21:53Speaker 2: it's probably going to be some type of double bottom,
- 21:55Speaker 2: and your two-day is going to save you. So, I mean,
- 21:58Speaker 2: end of year, it's tough to say exactly. Maybe $ 1. 50,
- 22:02Speaker 2: maybe $ 1. 60. I don't think you're going to break up to,
- 22:05Speaker 2: you know, $ 2 by the end of the year. I
- 22:07Speaker 2: think that's more of a quarter one, quarter two type thing.
- 22:09Speaker 2: But I think if all goes well, $ 1. 60 potentially.
- 22:13Speaker 1: So, okay, well, that'd be a pretty big reversal, you know,
- 22:16Speaker 1: for XRP.
- 22:18Speaker 3: Granted.
- 22:19Speaker 1: If you were looking at XRP, you know, for the
- 22:24Speaker 1: bull run, you know, and potential of playing it as
- 22:27Speaker 1: one of your primary tokens, or let's say your top five,
- 22:30Speaker 1: where would you say it's possible for XRP to go?
- 22:34Speaker 1: Do you think it reclaims its all-time high here in
- 22:37Speaker 1: the next six months into 2027?
- 22:40Speaker 2: So next, yeah, into 2027. Let's see how much that is.
- 22:44Speaker 2: I mean, it's not impossible, no, because that's only... You know,
- 22:49Speaker 2: a little over 160 percent. That's not impossible. So, you know,
- 22:53Speaker 2: you would see an upward trajectory in 2027. You see
- 22:56Speaker 2: a complete upward trajectory. You know, it's probably not going
- 22:59Speaker 2: to be as crazy as over here. But, you know,
- 23:02Speaker 2: like a situation like that, that's not surprising. And that
- 23:06Speaker 2: would be, you know, from where we are right now.
- 23:09Speaker 2: that would be early 28. So something like that. I mean,
- 23:11Speaker 2: probably not an all time high.
- 23:13Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 23:13Speaker 2: That's more of a quarter four thing, early 2028 type thing.
- 23:17Speaker 2: It would probably take a little bit of time. Um,
- 23:20Speaker 2: so yeah, but I think it could, you know, I
- 23:22Speaker 2: would say two 40 is definitely a great goal for,
- 23:25Speaker 2: you know, next year, almost a double next 12 months.
- 23:27Speaker 2: I think that's a good goal. It all goes well.
- 23:29Speaker 2: I mean, this thing does, this thing moves weirdly. This way,
- 23:32Speaker 2: the thing was crazy at points. So it's, this one's
- 23:35Speaker 2: a tough one to predict. I mean, I wouldn't put
- 23:38Speaker 2: anything past XRP.
- 23:40Speaker 1: Well, think of it this way, too, because they launched
- 23:42Speaker 1: support for institutions now on real-world asset perpetual swaps. If
- 23:49Speaker 1: we see major institutions going in that direction, which I
- 23:53Speaker 1: think we will in 2027, and especially now, because remember,
- 23:57Speaker 1: I think it's October.
- 23:59Speaker 3: 20th that the SEC.
- 24:02Speaker 1: Ends its era for basically open comment on many of
- 24:06Speaker 1: the rules that it's citing right now. Once that occurs
- 24:09Speaker 1: here in next week, I think you're going to see
- 24:13Speaker 1: some big announcements coming from all sorts of blockchain projects
- 24:17Speaker 1: out there, because I think at that point, everybody will understand, okay,
- 24:21Speaker 1: these are the rules we're playing by, and they're going
- 24:24Speaker 1: to start launching some projects. And you look at perpetual
- 24:27Speaker 1: swaps on the institutional level, this could be, I think
- 24:31Speaker 1: one was out there, it was called Virtu, which is
- 24:34Speaker 1: trading on RWA swaps, that's in a position I think
- 24:38Speaker 1: that could really get going. Because you're talking about ETFs, metals, energy, FX,
- 24:43Speaker 1: this could be everything. So pretty crazy stuff. And that
- 24:47Speaker 1: could definitely affect, obviously, the future of XRP. Another thing
- 24:52Speaker 1: that could affect the future of crypto in general is
- 24:56Speaker 1: what's happening right now in the banking system. And When
- 25:00Speaker 1: you look at the banking system, one of the things
- 25:02Speaker 1: that I look at, look outside the U.S., okay? And
- 25:05Speaker 1: I want to show you guys this news right here,
- 25:07Speaker 1: which is Deutsche Bank. Deutsche is now preparing for crypto custody,
- 25:13Speaker 1: and they're going after Asia. So when you look at
- 25:17Speaker 1: Asia being the market here, you're in Asia. You know
- 25:21Speaker 1: what's going on over there.
- 25:22Speaker 2: Yep.
- 25:25Speaker 1: Do you think Asia gets into a position where it becomes...
- 25:29Speaker 1: mecca for crypto instead.
- 25:31Speaker 2: Of probably you know it's gonna it's gonna take time
- 25:36Speaker 2: but because the population is so large in asia it's
- 25:40Speaker 2: 60 of the world's population is in asia basically so
- 25:44Speaker 2: because it's so high and they're getting there i mean
- 25:47Speaker 2: a lot of these i know it's illegal in china
- 25:49Speaker 2: but a lot of the main cities in china are
- 25:51Speaker 2: completely cashless they're completely electronic payments so It's getting there.
- 25:55Speaker 2: And a lot of these other, even countries like Thailand,
- 25:57Speaker 2: they're taking initiatives to pay electronically. So I think it
- 26:01Speaker 2: will be within the next 20 years. That's just based
- 26:03Speaker 2: on population and based on, obviously, the East is trending upward. Right.
- 26:08Speaker 2: I hate to say it, the West is not... declining.
- 26:11Speaker 2: East is trending upward in the last 20 years. Unless
- 26:13Speaker 2: that trend changes significantly, Asia is going to be the
- 26:16Speaker 2: mecca of crypto, yes.
- 26:17Speaker 3: It's going to be a major.
- 26:19Speaker 1: Well, that's why we're seeing so much activity in Japan,
- 26:21Speaker 1: Hong Kong, this, of course, happening in Bangkok, which is
- 26:26Speaker 1: absolutely on fire. Okay, so you're You've had a chance
- 26:30Speaker 1: to talk to people in Asia and many countries. How
- 26:32Speaker 1: many countries have you been to in Asia?
- 26:34Speaker 2: I've been to quite a few, at least five, six, seven.
- 26:36Speaker 2: I don't know the exact. Yeah, I've been to quite
- 26:38Speaker 2: a few.
- 26:39Speaker 1: What is the street level narrative on crypto right now
- 26:43Speaker 1: or their temperature? Is it very positive? Would you call
- 26:46Speaker 1: it neutral? They look at it.
- 26:48Speaker 3: As this is the future. Where do you think they stand?
- 26:51Speaker 2: They're positive on it, man. Definitely positive. You see the
- 26:54Speaker 2: BYD electric cars all over. Sometimes you'll have a taxi
- 26:58Speaker 2: driver that's looking at a damn chart on his BYD car,
- 27:01Speaker 2: on your $ 3 Uber, your $ 3 GrabRide. So yes, I
- 27:02Speaker 2: think overall they're on board. They're on board, I think, man. Obviously,
- 27:12Speaker 2: a lot of people don't have the means to be
- 27:14Speaker 2: buying crypto, unfortunately, in a lot of the developing countries.
- 27:17Speaker 2: But I think the people that do have the means,
- 27:20Speaker 2: they're on board.
- 27:21Speaker 1: Well, that has always been my question, is what is
- 27:24Speaker 1: the affluency level? When you look at the number of
- 27:27Speaker 1: millionaires that are being printed in the United States every day,
- 27:30Speaker 1: that is millionaires that are going into the market. And
- 27:33Speaker 1: those are instrumental, I think, in terms of adoption and growth.
- 27:38Speaker 1: We don't see those kinds of numbers coming out of Asia,
- 27:42Speaker 1: the Middle East, even Europe.
- 27:43Speaker 3: To a certain extent.
- 27:45Speaker 1: The United States leads in terms of printing millionaires. So-
- 27:49Speaker 1: I guess the key there is it's just going to
- 27:50Speaker 1: be pure population is what you're saying.
- 27:53Speaker 2: I think it's population. I think a lot of the
- 27:55Speaker 2: millionaires in the U.S. are mainly because the stock market's
- 27:58Speaker 2: done so well. It's a lot of middle-aged people. And
- 28:01Speaker 2: I think the younger generations, because if you look at
- 28:04Speaker 2: younger generations in the U.S., they overall did not have
- 28:07Speaker 2: the opportunities that their parents had. It's a complete opposite
- 28:10Speaker 2: in China, Vietnam, really everywhere in Asia. The younger generations
- 28:15Speaker 2: had much more opportunity and a much better life overall
- 28:19Speaker 2: than their parents' generation. So I think those younger generations,
- 28:23Speaker 2: I think Asia is really going to develop a lot.
- 28:25Speaker 2: And I think those younger generations are going to put
- 28:27Speaker 2: money into crypto and those things.
- 28:30Speaker 1: Evan, let's take a look at Circle. Circle is now
- 28:33Speaker 1: pushing into, speaking of new.
- 28:35Speaker 3: Markets, 40 new markets.
- 28:38Speaker 1: This is a big deal because it starts to pretty
- 28:40Speaker 1: much translate to USDC becoming a global currency in essence
- 28:47Speaker 1: and pushing U.S. Treasuries, which would support the dollar. If
- 28:51Speaker 1: you look at Circle, it's been doing great on the charts,
- 28:54Speaker 1: but is this a stock you would go into right now?
- 28:57Speaker 1: Would this be the one for you?
- 29:00Speaker 2: Circle is interesting let's take a look at circle here
- 29:02Speaker 2: because circle is one that i held i took some
- 29:05Speaker 2: profits on it i still had a small position in
- 29:07Speaker 2: it it looks good man yeah i mean i like
- 29:09Speaker 2: the two day here i mean it could be a
- 29:11Speaker 2: little bit premature but if i had a guess here
- 29:14Speaker 2: you know it makes sense yeah circle makes sense um
- 29:17Speaker 2: you're making me want to buy more circle right now
- 29:20Speaker 2: i mean yeah you're making me because this is some
- 29:23Speaker 2: good momentum here three days to confirm on that you
- 29:25Speaker 2: know yeah This looks good. This looks like one of
- 29:28Speaker 2: the best things we've looked at. You just got to
- 29:29Speaker 2: be careful because you're on some thin ice. These things,
- 29:32Speaker 2: you know, sometimes they do crash down farther. But no,
- 29:36Speaker 2: this looks pretty good. This looks pretty good overall.
- 29:38Speaker 1: Yeah we called that uh that purchase for circle um
- 29:45Speaker 1: back at what let's see let me see where my
- 29:47Speaker 1: chart is yeah right at um yeah around 69 was
- 29:54Speaker 1: our call last call um on circle obviously had that
- 29:58Speaker 1: big day yesterday spiking. But definitely coming into a zone
- 30:03Speaker 1: right now, I think the question is, is does it
- 30:05Speaker 1: get back to its all-time high anytime soon? Do you
- 30:09Speaker 1: like an all-time high in 2026 or 2027?
- 30:12Speaker 2: This year, no. Not this year. But it's going to
- 30:16Speaker 2: take time, man. I mean, you know, it's probably going
- 30:19Speaker 2: to be a gradual incline. I mean, usually if you
- 30:20Speaker 2: just draw, you know, this is kind of the healthy trajectory.
- 30:23Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
- 30:24Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it could. Look at that.
- 30:25Speaker 3: Look at that chart. Yeah.
- 30:27Speaker 2: Yeah, it could. If you were to I mean, maybe
- 30:29Speaker 2: next year, you know, middle of next year at the earliest, probably,
- 30:32Speaker 2: I would say. Yeah, mid to late next year. Why not?
- 30:36Speaker 1: This is one of the bigger plays that we are
- 30:39Speaker 1: in and have been in for some time. And we're
- 30:41Speaker 1: going to continue to ride this one for sure. Which

- 31:43Speaker 1: There's our levels, which is Ruby and Forge, which is
- 31:46Speaker 1: all of our research for everything that we're doing. Evan,
- 31:49Speaker 1: the market right now, In terms of, are you bullish
- 31:54Speaker 1: for the rest of the year, or are you in
- 31:56Speaker 1: a holding pattern?
- 31:56Speaker 2: I'm more crabbish for the rest of the year. I do,
- 31:59Speaker 2: it's hard to say. I do think we consolidate overall
- 32:02Speaker 2: from now until the end of the year, the quarter
- 32:03Speaker 2: one's going to be. The summer could be good, though.
- 32:05Speaker 2: It's hard to say. It really is hard to say.
- 32:08Speaker 2: I think it's very foolish to try to sell a
- 32:09Speaker 2: big one right now, significantly below an all-time high. I
- 32:12Speaker 2: think this is still a buy DCA area. Seasonality and
- 32:16Speaker 2: midterm elections and all that type of stuff would probably
- 32:18Speaker 2: tell you we will go at least a little bit lower,
- 32:20Speaker 2: but There's nothing considerably major that concerns me right now.
- 32:25Speaker 2: Market still looks very good in the macro.
- 32:27Speaker 1: I am very bullish through the end of the year.
- 32:29Speaker 1: I think we may have a post-midterm run. So look
- 32:34Speaker 1: for mid-November into December, like you're kind of leading to.
- 32:38Speaker 1: But I think we may actually have a very healthy
- 32:40Speaker 1: run because I anticipate that there could be some major
- 32:43Speaker 1: changes on the front in the Middle East. And I
- 32:48Speaker 1: also anticipate there will be some major changes with the
- 32:51Speaker 1: Fed's narrative going forward, especially on the outlook for the
- 32:55Speaker 1: December FOMC. So be on the lookout for that December FOMC.
- 32:59Speaker 1: That's when I think you'll see the term starting to
