- 0:41Speaker 1: Let's go over to mister Gareth Soloway because I wanted
- 0:45Speaker 1: to bring him in today and break down a lot
- 0:48Speaker 1: of what's happening in the market. Gareth, how are you?
- 0:51Speaker 3: I'm good? How are you doing? Paul?
- 0:53Speaker 1: Excellent? Excellent? So let's lead off with XRP. First. I
- 0:58Speaker 1: want to look at the chart here. In a second,
- 1:00Speaker 1: I was following good evening crypto over here, XRP, and
- 1:02Speaker 1: I are the only one asking right now, where is
- 1:05Speaker 1: Brad garling House With everything that's happening with Clarity. Most
- 1:09Speaker 1: of the time Ripple has been out in front, so
- 1:12Speaker 1: we haven't necessarily seen that being the case. And XRP
- 1:16Speaker 1: dip below a dollar for just a moment on the charts,
- 1:20Speaker 1: what does this look like, Gareth, especially going into Clarity
- 1:25Speaker 1: the next month.
- 1:26Speaker 4: Yeah, So the first thing that caught my attention was
- 1:29Speaker 4: the fact that it pierced a dollar, because what we
- 1:32Speaker 4: know is that the general public is going to play
- 1:34Speaker 4: stops right there, and I'm sure there was a ton
- 1:36Speaker 4: of liquidations that went off.
- 1:37Speaker 3: There was a lot of volume right there.
- 1:39Speaker 4: And what I loved actually about XARP is that it
- 1:42Speaker 4: almost immediately bounced back above a dollar. And one of
- 1:46Speaker 4: the things that's catching my eye here is that you're
- 1:48Speaker 4: now trading almost flat on the chart here. I mean,
- 1:51Speaker 4: this is not a bad setup, and potentially on a
- 1:54Speaker 4: technical analysis basis, this could be a bottoming tail. So
- 1:58Speaker 4: the question is, does did this flush wipe out a
- 2:01Speaker 4: bunch of longs and is it now a short term bottom.
- 2:04Speaker 4: The other thing that I like about XRP is that
- 2:07Speaker 4: we had this longer term wedge pattern, and the wedge
- 2:10Speaker 4: pattern broke out, And just because it breaks out doesn't
- 2:13Speaker 4: mean it has to rip higher immediately. But the key
- 2:16Speaker 4: is it's just slowly staying like this and it's creeping
- 2:19Speaker 4: down a little bit. That's okay. You have tons of
- 2:22Speaker 4: support around ninety six ninety seven cents potential bottoming tail.
- 2:26Speaker 4: We see buyers swooped in today. Those are all signals
- 2:29Speaker 4: that actually make me like being long XRP here, So
- 2:33Speaker 4: I'm a bull right now. The chart is actually even
- 2:36Speaker 4: as nasty as the chart looks, there are green shoots,
- 2:39Speaker 4: as we call them in the world of tradfi here,
- 2:43Speaker 4: there are green shoots in XRP.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Or let's pay the picture that we get clarity in September.
- 2:49Speaker 1: I still am skeptical, even though my research team is
- 2:51Speaker 1: telling me we think it's going to happen. But let's
- 2:54Speaker 1: assume that it does go through somehow, and Ripple benefits
- 2:59Speaker 1: from this, because everybody believes that Ripple has all these
- 3:01Speaker 1: things pent up to roll out waiting on clarity. Where
- 3:04Speaker 1: would you put XRP if that were to go through
- 3:07Speaker 1: in September October?
- 3:09Speaker 4: I mean I would think there is fifty to one
- 3:12Speaker 4: hundred percent upside right, And granted that's not a ridiculous
- 3:15Speaker 4: number for a lot of people that have been in
- 3:17Speaker 4: this for a long amount of time.
- 3:18Speaker 3: But I think you have to just give it some time.
- 3:21Speaker 4: Like you know, you just the initial stage here is
- 3:23Speaker 4: you want a big bounce that puts in a vertical
- 3:27Speaker 4: kind of reversal signal on a bigger time frame. And
- 3:29Speaker 4: so I'd be looking at first upside target on the
- 3:31Speaker 4: chart really around a buck four, a buck fifty. These
- 3:35Speaker 4: highs right over here, we can see how it kept
- 3:38Speaker 4: on kind of punching up into this level once twice
- 3:41Speaker 4: and three times and it got rejected. So on a
- 3:44Speaker 4: clarity pass at about a buck fifty five, I would
- 3:47Speaker 4: be saying, all right, that's my first level to see
- 3:50Speaker 4: if it can break through. If it can't, okay, let
- 3:52Speaker 4: it consolidate. Right, Sometimes charts need to digest the big
- 3:55Speaker 4: moves before they can go higher. But on your comments,
- 3:58Speaker 4: I'm actually a believer that is going to get through
- 4:00Speaker 4: in September or early October. I don't mean to be
- 4:03Speaker 4: a cynic about the political world, but my thesis is
- 4:08Speaker 4: really as simple. As the elections are coming up in November,
- 4:12Speaker 4: I think Trump has lost a lot of the crypto
- 4:15Speaker 4: players after the debacle that's happened in crypto and for votes,
- 4:20Speaker 4: He's going to try to push this through to get
- 4:22Speaker 4: people psyched again before the elections.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's kind of the basis of our team,
- 4:28Speaker 1: is that there's just too much to lose here for Trump,
- 4:32Speaker 1: And then you could have to compare everything that's happening
- 4:34Speaker 1: with his family, but this whole issue with ethics, even
- 4:37Speaker 1: though there has been a little bit of a slight
- 4:41Speaker 1: maybe air in the room with ethics in some way,
- 4:44Speaker 1: the real question is what happens between now and early
- 4:47Speaker 1: September and possibly those negotiations. So, okay, Gareth, I want
- 4:51Speaker 1: to go the flip side of this clarity does not pass,
- 4:55Speaker 1: where would we see this go? Where would be my
- 4:57Speaker 1: low end on this for XRPF if it craters?
- 5:02Speaker 4: So I think if it doesn't pass, it and I
- 5:04Speaker 4: think the passing it has to be literally shut down,
- 5:07Speaker 4: as in like no chance. You're probably going back to
- 5:11Speaker 4: the twenty twenty four high pivots.
- 5:14Speaker 3: Here.
- 5:14Speaker 4: If we look at the chart, you can see there
- 5:16Speaker 4: is tons of high moves right in here, right over
- 5:20Speaker 4: in this range, all in this vicinity and that would
- 5:23Speaker 4: be around seventy cents, So I think your base point
- 5:26Speaker 4: is seventy cents.
- 5:27Speaker 3: That would be another level.
- 5:28Speaker 4: Where I would probably pick a little up if I'm
- 5:30Speaker 4: a technical trader and looking for a long but that
- 5:33Speaker 4: would be kind of what I would be angling at.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Okay, let's take a look at micro Strategy, because this
- 5:39Speaker 1: is a question of whether or not this trade is dead.
- 5:42Speaker 1: You had Peter Schiff talking about this strategy sold another
- 5:44Speaker 1: sixteen hundred and ninety bitcoin last week, and you had
- 5:49Speaker 1: where they sold six d and fifty three million worth
- 5:51Speaker 1: of discounted micro Strategy shares. So first of all, let's
- 5:55Speaker 1: look at micro Strategy. Then I want to ask you
- 5:57Speaker 1: about Stretch, and then we'll kind of flow into big
- 6:00Speaker 1: in here for our viewers. But strategy in itself, would
- 6:04Speaker 1: you play this stock right now or is this pretty
- 6:07Speaker 1: much hands off?
- 6:08Speaker 3: Would I would in the short term.
- 6:10Speaker 4: It has a bullish chart formation, a bullish structure to it.
- 6:13Speaker 4: One of the things we can see here is it's
- 6:15Speaker 4: been hovering in this tight range now after an initial
- 6:20Speaker 4: move up. So here's your little move up. This is
- 6:22Speaker 4: all sideways digestion, and as long as we don't really
- 6:26Speaker 4: break back below ninety dollars on this price, the probability
- 6:31Speaker 4: favors a move up here. So obviously what we need
- 6:33Speaker 4: to do now is get through this one Zho four level.
- 6:36Speaker 4: Then it should really rip all the way to a
- 6:38Speaker 4: buck fifteen potentially higher. But this type of structure is
- 6:42Speaker 4: actually a bullish move, where you go up in near term,
- 6:44Speaker 4: then you just consolidate, and then you're supposed to finalize
- 6:47Speaker 4: the move with another move to the upside. So I'm bullish,
- 6:51Speaker 4: and I actually actually nibbled on.
- 6:52Speaker 3: This today a little bit.
- 6:53Speaker 4: I picked up a little bit in my portfolio, granted
- 6:55Speaker 4: a small position because it is high risk, but I
- 6:57Speaker 4: did give myself a little bit of shares.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Okay, So micro strategy very tied into what's been happening
- 7:05Speaker 1: with Stretch, and Sailor has kind of showcased where he's
- 7:10Speaker 1: heading with Stretch, and of course it has recovered to
- 7:13Speaker 1: a certain extent. But what happens, first of all, will
- 7:16Speaker 1: do you think we'll stretch will go back to a
- 7:19Speaker 1: dollar in peg?
- 7:22Speaker 4: I do think eventually, but I think it's got Yeah,
- 7:25Speaker 4: I do think it will eventually. I think it just
- 7:27Speaker 4: has to you get to you have to get some
- 7:28Speaker 4: bullish sentiment back in the cryptosphere, right. I mean, if
- 7:31Speaker 4: you look at sentiment, it's been in the extreme fear
- 7:34Speaker 4: zone for just so long, and that takes its toll
- 7:37Speaker 4: on people. People start to doubt crypto assets. Any asset
- 7:41Speaker 4: that's have been only around for as long as bitcoin,
- 7:43Speaker 4: it's going to have doubters that emerge during periods like this,
- 7:46Speaker 4: especially when you see the semiconductors running and gold starting
- 7:49Speaker 4: to run right now, stock markets near all time highs.
- 7:52Speaker 4: You know, people start to doubt that there's there's something here.
- 7:55Speaker 4: I still think there is in the crypto markets, and
- 7:57Speaker 4: I do think it will peg back to that one
- 7:59Speaker 4: hundred love.
- 8:00Speaker 1: All right, there you go.
- 8:02Speaker 4: All right.
- 8:02Speaker 1: So I'm looking at your tweet. It says bitcoin is
- 8:04Speaker 1: on the verge of an epic breakout. The trend line
- 8:08Speaker 1: extends from the all time high in October down to
- 8:12Speaker 1: May twenty six. So path or chart this out for me.
- 8:17Speaker 1: Why do you think that is looking so bullish right now?
- 8:21Speaker 4: So what we've seen here is this trend line, and
- 8:23Speaker 4: why it's so important is it goes back to the
- 8:26Speaker 4: all time high. So like if it was a mid
- 8:28Speaker 4: level trend line from here down to here, it's kind
- 8:31Speaker 4: of like, Okay, well it's in the midst of the
- 8:33Speaker 4: bear market, right, but this one actually starts all the
- 8:35Speaker 4: way back at the all time high connects through your
- 8:38Speaker 4: first point. Notice no other of the pivots in here
- 8:41Speaker 4: touch the line until you get here.
- 8:43Speaker 3: And what I loved about this.
- 8:44Speaker 4: Here is that Notice how it hammered on it three
- 8:47Speaker 4: times once twice three and failed. And here you hammered
- 8:51Speaker 4: on it once twice, three times and you broke out.
- 8:53Speaker 4: Now a lot of people are expecting this monumental epic surge,
- 8:57Speaker 4: you know, twenty thirty percent upside. It doesn't work like that.
- 9:00Speaker 4: There's too many bears, too many people that are nervous
- 9:02Speaker 4: about this. But what you want to see is as
- 9:05Speaker 4: long as price holds above this trend line, now it's
- 9:09Speaker 4: setting up for that eventual resumption to the upside, and
- 9:12Speaker 4: we should.
- 9:12Speaker 3: See a move up.
- 9:14Speaker 4: You know, first target for me is around seventy one
- 9:16Speaker 4: seventy two thousand. If it gets through that, you're looking
- 9:18Speaker 4: at seventy seven all time highs. I'm not ready to
- 9:21Speaker 4: make a proclamation on that, but I love the fact
- 9:24Speaker 4: that you have finally cleared this trend line that goes
- 9:26Speaker 4: back to all time highs. That is a step in
- 9:29Speaker 4: the right direction.
- 9:31Speaker 1: All right, So Gareth, you have to compare this to
- 9:33Speaker 1: the S and P five hundred, especially with a clip
- 9:36Speaker 1: I'm going to play for you. Actually, let's play that
- 9:38Speaker 1: clip first and then I want to get your opinion
- 9:41Speaker 1: on this on Bitcoin versus the S and P five hundred.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Let's take a look, but under the right circumstances, and
- 9:46Speaker 2: the right circumstances being you know, extreme capital markets activity
- 9:51Speaker 2: FOMO like we've seen at the peak of every structural
- 9:55Speaker 2: technology driven bull market that you could move as high
- 9:59Speaker 2: as nine thousand. And what we didn't expect. We thought
- 10:02Speaker 2: nine thousand at the beginning of this year looked more
- 10:05Speaker 2: like a bubble. But guess what. Earnings have surprised everyone
- 10:08Speaker 2: to the upside. And so frankly, nine thousand is no
- 10:12Speaker 2: longer even a bubble type thought. We think you can
- 10:15Speaker 2: get there before the cycle ends, all right, So crazy.
- 10:18Speaker 1: To say that nine thousand not being about Granted, I
- 10:22Speaker 1: would agree with him. Earnings have been kind of the
- 10:24Speaker 1: on the forefront here for most every many people would say,
- 10:28Speaker 1: still though some of that is built on inflation around
- 10:32Speaker 1: what we've seen in terms of the growth of the
- 10:33Speaker 1: S and P. Over the last ninety days, S and
- 10:36Speaker 1: P five hundred rows five percent, Bitcoin fell twenty Garrett.
- 10:39Speaker 1: So if you're betting on one or the other right
- 10:43Speaker 1: now through the end of this year, where would you go?
- 10:48Speaker 3: So, I mean through the end of this year.
- 10:49Speaker 4: I love Bitcoin setup right now, So I mean, I
- 10:52Speaker 4: do think there's upside in the S and P. I
- 10:54Speaker 4: actually have a year end price target around eighty two
- 10:57Speaker 4: hundred on the S and P, so that's still a
- 10:59Speaker 4: decent I think about six percent move up from here.
- 11:02Speaker 4: But could I do I think I can make more
- 11:04Speaker 4: in bitcoin? Can I make ten or twenty percent in bitcoin?
- 11:06Speaker 4: I do think you can with this breakout in bitcoin,
- 11:09Speaker 4: So I would choose bitcoin at this point.
- 11:12Speaker 1: Okay, there you go. Eth danger zone or breakout zone.
- 11:16Speaker 1: I'm looking at ETH overall. Spot demand is weakening. More
- 11:19Speaker 1: buyers need to step in otherwise we could see it
- 11:23Speaker 1: go into a correction phase. Would you agree with that
- 11:26Speaker 1: right now?
- 11:27Speaker 3: I I'm actually I actually love the chart on ETH.
- 11:30Speaker 3: Right now.
- 11:30Speaker 4: Eth is a fantastic inverse head and shoulders. It's broken out.
- 11:34Speaker 4: And what I love about ETH right now is that
- 11:37Speaker 4: it's this is what we call the neckline, This orange
- 11:39Speaker 4: line and price went above it, retest it, and now
- 11:42Speaker 4: is just going sideways.
- 11:43Speaker 3: So same structure here.
- 11:44Speaker 4: We have an upmove, we have sideways consolidation as long
- 11:48Speaker 4: as it holds this trend line around this seventeen seventy
- 11:51Speaker 4: five seventeen eighty level.
- 11:53Speaker 3: This is a very bullish chart.
- 11:54Speaker 4: Now listen, if it breaks there, then you have to
- 11:56Speaker 4: admit that the thesis is wrong, and then it's just
- 11:58Speaker 4: it could head back down. But in verse head and
- 12:00Speaker 4: shoulders off of lows like this are very bullish. And
- 12:04Speaker 4: I actually have an ultimate target of around twenty one
- 12:07Speaker 4: point fifty in the near term on ETH.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Near term twenty one to fifty, and it kind of
- 12:12Speaker 1: goes in line with what we're seeing within the market itself.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Wall streets starting to explain ethereum a little bit differently,
- 12:20Speaker 1: including Morgan Stanley, which is a big one, has published
- 12:23Speaker 1: their entire primer explaining ETH, which is interesting to me
- 12:27Speaker 1: because this means maybe new investors will start to really
- 12:30Speaker 1: understand how this works, and with that it could flow
- 12:35Speaker 1: to the point that you're talking about, which is maybe
- 12:37Speaker 1: an uptrend here overall, if you look at clarity and
- 12:41Speaker 1: the potential here, and we'll kind of go on the
- 12:44Speaker 1: situation of you either could go pro clarity or we
- 12:47Speaker 1: don't get clarity, and you would compare that with maybe
- 12:50Speaker 1: a handful of tokens. One that we did a video
- 12:54Speaker 1: on was uniewap, and the reason was because of this
- 12:58Speaker 1: little move here by Grace starting to consolidate a lot
- 13:02Speaker 1: of their funds and really going heavy on UNISWAP. What
- 13:06Speaker 1: do you think Do you like UNISWAP.
- 13:09Speaker 3: I tend to like it.
- 13:10Speaker 4: Here if we take a look at the chart and
- 13:12Speaker 4: let's jump over to that. The one concern I have
- 13:15Speaker 4: is that we're kind of coming down.
- 13:17Speaker 3: To this key support level.
- 13:18Speaker 4: So we could see that if you go back to
- 13:20Speaker 4: February of twenty twenty six through March twenty twenty six,
- 13:23Speaker 4: and then again in May twenty twenty six and even
- 13:25Speaker 4: again in July, we broke out above that trend line
- 13:29Speaker 4: and now we've retraced to that level. So for me,
- 13:32Speaker 4: the bowl case is still intact. But you need to
- 13:35Speaker 4: see UNI swap hold this three dollars and seventy cent level.
- 13:38Speaker 4: If that were to break and confirm below, then I'd
- 13:41Speaker 4: be a little bit more concerned. But right now, again,
- 13:44Speaker 4: I think this is a fantastic opportunity as long as
- 13:46Speaker 4: you keep a tight stop at this level. And I
- 13:48Speaker 4: just point out what I've liked about some of the
- 13:50Speaker 4: crypto markets is that every so often a new coin
- 13:54Speaker 4: is starting, or I should say an older coin is
- 13:56Speaker 4: starting to rally, Like we've seen recently a Cardona start
- 14:00Speaker 4: to make moves to the upside. ICP just in the
- 14:03Speaker 4: last days started to perk up. Those are signs either
- 14:06Speaker 4: of short covering or something that is. To me, it
- 14:08Speaker 4: looks like bubbling. Right it's before the explosion, before the
- 14:12Speaker 4: volcano erupts, that they're starting to kind of be rumblings
- 14:16Speaker 4: of some sort of move up here. And I do think, again,
- 14:19Speaker 4: going back to Clarity, it could be that we come
- 14:21Speaker 4: back after I think Congress comes back in early September,
- 14:24Speaker 4: and then that's the priority, that's what Trump starts pushing.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and that's the thing, guys. You will many
- 14:31Speaker 1: of you probably think, Paul, you're not too heavy on
- 14:34Speaker 1: Clarity right now in terms of its passing. And it's
- 14:37Speaker 1: not that I'm giving it a negative spin. What I'm
- 14:40Speaker 1: saying is is that you always have to figure out
- 14:42Speaker 1: how to play the markets one way or the other.
- 14:44Speaker 1: There's always a trade and you just have to be
- 14:47Speaker 1: prepared for both, and you could hedge one way or
- 14:49Speaker 1: the other. And I think the factor is you're still
- 14:51Speaker 1: assuming that there still may be a breakthrough here, and
- 14:54Speaker 1: that would really start to position the market pretty heavily.
- 14:58Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this, but we played
- 15:00Speaker 1: this the other day, tom Lee claiming that Robin Hood
- 15:03Speaker 1: could one hundred x from here. Did you see this
- 15:06Speaker 1: clip where he was talking about this.
- 15:08Speaker 4: I didn't see the clip. I mean, I mean, listen,
- 15:10Speaker 4: anything as possible. But again, you know Tom Lee's known
- 15:14Speaker 4: for I still remember two hundred and fifty thousand bitcoin
- 15:17Speaker 4: at the end of twenty twenty five, right there was
- 15:20Speaker 4: the prediction. So think I think part of it too is,
- 15:22Speaker 4: you know, it's all about getting clips.
- 15:24Speaker 3: I mean, I do this.
- 15:24Speaker 4: You know in some of my thumbnails, you do a
- 15:26Speaker 4: little bit more of a sensationalized kind of thing to
- 15:29Speaker 4: get the attention. Ten years from now, short, Robinhood could
- 15:33Speaker 4: be up, maybe five years. But I think keeping in
- 15:35Speaker 4: mind realistic approach just kind of like what you're mentioning
- 15:38Speaker 4: is being a little skeptical on clarity until it happens
- 15:41Speaker 4: to pass and then saying, okay, we've got it at
- 15:44Speaker 4: this point, I think, especially if you're in crypto, skeptical
- 15:47Speaker 4: is the way you got to be almost.
- 15:49Speaker 1: So anyway, yeah, what about Okay, So, if I'm betting
- 15:52Speaker 1: on Hood versus Coinbase, one, which stock am I buying?
- 15:56Speaker 1: Not financial advice, but I'm just wondering which one would
- 16:00Speaker 1: you look at Hood versus Coinbase?
- 16:03Speaker 4: I'd probably go with best of breed on this. On Coinbase,
- 16:06Speaker 4: I don't love it at the current levels, but if
- 16:08Speaker 4: it flushed a little bit, I think Coinbase has a
- 16:10Speaker 4: ton of support around one hundred and twenty dollars. Right now,
- 16:13Speaker 4: it's trading around one hundred and forty and change. But again,
- 16:17Speaker 4: did break a trend line here, so that's something we
- 16:19Speaker 4: have to be a little bit concerned about. On the
- 16:21Speaker 4: other side, you have Robinhood, which obviously has gotten into
- 16:24Speaker 4: you know, and honestly, the performance of Robinhood has been
- 16:27Speaker 4: much better. And if we just look at this spade
- 16:29Speaker 4: as a spade, right, so Coinbase is almost purely crypto,
- 16:33Speaker 4: granted they're branching out, but Robinhood is much more traditional
- 16:38Speaker 4: finance as well as prediction markets, and I think that's
- 16:41Speaker 4: why robinhood has performed. So if you go a step
- 16:43Speaker 4: further and say crypto starts to perform better, which one
- 16:47Speaker 4: would be the recipient of more upside?
- 16:49Speaker 3: It would be coinbase.
- 16:50Speaker 1: All right, there you go, Gareth. Let's take a look
- 16:54Speaker 1: at Solana. You had a chart up here, classic wedge.
- 16:58Speaker 1: This is a breakout upside potential. All you're saying around
- 17:00Speaker 1: one hundred bucks. This is a strong one because it's
- 17:04Speaker 1: trading down in the seventies right now. What is a
- 17:07Speaker 1: catalyst for this that would make you think that?
- 17:11Speaker 3: That's a good question.
- 17:12Speaker 4: And again, the catalyst is always something that you're not
- 17:14Speaker 4: quite sure about, is it again? Just that the performance,
- 17:18Speaker 4: Like you said, I think what's important to recognize on
- 17:20Speaker 4: the chart is that it's been making higher lows even
- 17:22Speaker 4: while Bitcoin during this period, Bitcoin, when when Solana made
- 17:26Speaker 4: a higher low, is actually making a lower low, right,
- 17:28Speaker 4: So there's been relative strength here, you know, In terms
- 17:31Speaker 4: of the catalyst aside from clarity, I'm not sure. But
- 17:34Speaker 4: what I do know is that this chart is extremely bullish.
- 17:37Speaker 4: You got the cup and handle or the wedge breakout
- 17:39Speaker 4: right here. Granted it's retracing, but that's super normal. Like
- 17:43Speaker 4: we discussed on some of these others, you basically look
- 17:45Speaker 4: for these things to come back into technical support here
- 17:49Speaker 4: and then use that as a trampoline to make your
- 17:51Speaker 4: next move up. And really, if the cup and handle
- 17:54Speaker 4: pans out, I mean, that's this trend line right here
- 17:56Speaker 4: becomes your target, which again is right at one hundred.
- 18:00Speaker 4: But I still think that, you know, you look at
- 18:02Speaker 4: this and you have to ask yourself, is there an
- 18:04Speaker 4: avenue for a lot of these cryptos to be plays
- 18:07Speaker 4: off of the AI revolution?
- 18:09Speaker 3: And I actually do think there is. I mean, you know,
- 18:11Speaker 3: h Bar.
- 18:12Speaker 4: Has multiple deals that involved AI and the AI build out,
- 18:16Speaker 4: and I do think that this tokenization side of things
- 18:19Speaker 4: is going to be part of the next bull market
- 18:21Speaker 4: move in crypto.
- 18:23Speaker 1: Well, tokenization agentic to a certain extent will start to
- 18:28Speaker 1: see real use case being able to use this on
- 18:30Speaker 1: a lot of these blockchains, whether you're looking at Salona
- 18:32Speaker 1: out there, and we'll see how those play out. Okay,
- 18:37Speaker 1: So would you say right now that the crypto market
- 18:40Speaker 1: has bottomed or do you feel like there's still some
- 18:43Speaker 1: potential for a reset here?
- 18:46Speaker 4: So I don't know if it's bottomed for the cycle,
- 18:48Speaker 4: and that's always the big question, right because then you
- 18:51Speaker 4: have to look at the four year cycle. How long
- 18:52Speaker 4: did these things come down. But what I will tell
- 18:55Speaker 4: you is that almost all of the major cryptos like
- 18:58Speaker 4: Ethereum or Ether, Bitcoin, Solana, even XRP. Although that chart
- 19:03Speaker 4: is a little bit on the weaker side, the signals
- 19:05Speaker 4: today tell me there's someone accumulating here.
- 19:08Speaker 3: Someone is sneakily buying this up.
- 19:10Speaker 4: And that tells me that, at least in the near term,
- 19:12Speaker 4: I'm bullish unless key levels are broken.
- 19:16Speaker 1: Well, listen to his words, sneakily, someone sneakily is buying this, So.
- 19:21Speaker 3: I know something about the Clarity Act.
- 19:24Speaker 1: Maybe somebody's got a play on this for sure. Hey,
- 19:28Speaker 1: let's jump over to gold real quick. We had ran Paul.
- 19:31Speaker 1: He says he has been over to Fort Knox. Why
- 19:34Speaker 1: didn't he put out a video on this? I don't
- 19:36Speaker 1: understand that one. But he says, the gold's there, one
- 19:38Speaker 1: hundred and forty seven million ounces of this. It's impressive.
- 19:43Speaker 1: I would listen if I saw that much gold, I
- 19:45Speaker 1: would say that's impressive too. But when you look at
- 19:49Speaker 1: the chart for gold, it's.
- 19:51Speaker 2: On the move.
- 19:53Speaker 1: Is it a temporary move here or could we see
- 19:56Speaker 1: that five thousand dollars ounce again?
- 20:00Speaker 4: So it certainly was a fantastic wedge pattern breakout. And
- 20:04Speaker 4: just to show you guys again here what we had
- 20:06Speaker 4: is you had this longer wedge pattern, which, by the way,
- 20:09Speaker 4: is very similar to what you had on XRP. The
- 20:11Speaker 4: difference is Gold ripped out of its versus XRP kind
- 20:15Speaker 4: of dribbled out of it, right, But either way, the
- 20:17Speaker 4: pattern setup is still the same. You did come up
- 20:21Speaker 4: here just in the last few days and hit a
- 20:23Speaker 4: resistance point. You have this low pivot right across here,
- 20:27Speaker 4: which was support support and support broke resistance and it's
- 20:30Speaker 4: hitting here. So this is the one. This is the
- 20:33Speaker 4: first big test on Gold. Can it break through this
- 20:36Speaker 4: forty four hundred level or does it start to retrace?
- 20:39Speaker 4: If it retraces, I'm a big buyer at this. This
- 20:42Speaker 4: wedge pattern zone right down here, so I mean basically
- 20:45Speaker 4: gets back to thirty nine hundred, I got to be
- 20:47Speaker 4: a buyer. I mean, you just look at the debt levels,
- 20:49Speaker 4: you look at all of this the you know, Kevin
- 20:52Speaker 4: worsh supposedly being super hawkish but then not giving any details,
- 20:55Speaker 4: and then we have the weaker jobs data. To me,
- 20:58Speaker 4: it's pointing to less rate high or no rate hikes
- 21:01Speaker 4: and ultimately more printing of money, and that again is
- 21:03Speaker 4: good for gold and it's good for bitcoin.
- 21:06Speaker 1: Well, listen, you could look at retail investors now rushing
- 21:09Speaker 1: back into gold. This is another signal right here physical
- 21:12Speaker 1: gold backed ETF We're seeing movement there. Fifty million in
- 21:15Speaker 1: retail inflows that was Wednesday, so largest daily inflow since March.
- 21:21Speaker 1: So good, good moves there. And to your point, this
- 21:24Speaker 1: could be a precursor to what could be happening coming
- 21:28Speaker 1: down the pipe from the FED and also from a
- 21:30Speaker 1: macro environment, because I think gold wins either way, whether
- 21:34Speaker 1: it's you know, a tumultuous time or even when people
- 21:38Speaker 1: are looking at the situation we're dealing right now, which
- 21:41Speaker 1: is more macro driven where everybody's just collecting it. You know,
- 21:44Speaker 1: you've got the you know, everybody out there is building
- 21:47Speaker 1: on their gold coffers. Biggest catalyst right now I want
- 21:53Speaker 1: to ask you on because you look at the bonds
- 21:57Speaker 1: right now, US bond yields hit five point two eight
- 22:00Speaker 1: highest level to two thousand and seven. Okay man, that's
- 22:03Speaker 1: a long time Greic. What's the biggest catalyst effecting the
- 22:06Speaker 1: markets right now? What would you say, Yen war Fad yet.
- 22:10Speaker 4: Or I would definitely, I would definitely go with the yields.
- 22:13Speaker 4: I think that is the number one right now. It's
- 22:15Speaker 4: basically the thing that's either holding the markets up, it's
- 22:19Speaker 4: helping push gold up if it goes if yields come down,
- 22:22Speaker 4: and vice versa. But I think because we're such a
- 22:25Speaker 4: debt layden economy and country and really the world is
- 22:29Speaker 4: I mean, look at Japan and look at the dollar yen,
- 22:32Speaker 4: is that more and more rates matter and that's just
- 22:36Speaker 4: the end of it. And one of the things to
- 22:37Speaker 4: look at, I mean the Japanese The US intervention with
- 22:41Speaker 4: the Japanese Central Bank, to me, was a huge event
- 22:44Speaker 4: because they didn't sell dollars. They sold euros to strengthen it.
- 22:47Speaker 4: So the US said, hey, we don't want to hurt
- 22:49Speaker 4: our currency because we know the endgame of this is
- 22:52Speaker 4: weakness anyways, so let's go sell euros to strengthen the yen.
- 22:56Speaker 4: And what I'm watching here is on this chart of
- 22:58Speaker 4: the dollar yen, I'm really focusing in. So we saw
- 23:02Speaker 4: the intervention crush and break technical support on the dollar
- 23:06Speaker 4: y in. Now we're starting to head back up. Now
- 23:09Speaker 4: what should happen here on the chart is we should
- 23:11Speaker 4: get rejected and we should start to move lower. If
- 23:14Speaker 4: that doesn't happen and we start to go back above
- 23:17Speaker 4: and head back to our high to me, that would
- 23:20Speaker 4: be epic in that it tells you that even intervention
- 23:23Speaker 4: can't stop the train in the direction that it's going
- 23:26Speaker 4: with FIAT. And I think that again, it doesn't mean
- 23:28Speaker 4: Fiat's collapsing tomorrow, but it just tells us more and
- 23:31Speaker 4: more that there's something bigger at work here that's going
- 23:33Speaker 4: to play out over years and it's not good for Fiat.
- 23:37Speaker 1: No, No, So devaluation, you guys understand how that works. Gareth,
- 23:41Speaker 1: if you look at the big sectors right now, would
- 23:44Speaker 1: you say that the AI trade is dead? Is crypto
- 23:48Speaker 1: a better play right now based on its deflation that
- 23:51Speaker 1: it's in terms of market deflation, energy, everything that's going
- 23:55Speaker 1: on in the middle least, What sector would you play
- 23:58Speaker 1: here or multitude of sectors sectors?
- 24:01Speaker 4: Yeah, so I think AI isn't dead, but it's had
- 24:05Speaker 4: a healthy correction in many ways. And I think the
- 24:08Speaker 4: realization that more plants, it may be a couple of
- 24:11Speaker 4: years away, the memory chips, the storage chips and everything,
- 24:15Speaker 4: there's going to be more plants coming online over the
- 24:18Speaker 4: next few years, which is going to crush margins. And
- 24:20Speaker 4: as much as people say this time is different, it's
- 24:22Speaker 4: never different, and we are going to see all those
- 24:25Speaker 4: stocks come back to realistic levels much much much lower.
- 24:29Speaker 4: So for me, I'm certainly not long the memory plays
- 24:32Speaker 4: or the AI trade. I think AI is going to
- 24:35Speaker 4: change our world. It has already changed mind, but I am
- 24:37Speaker 4: more focused in on, at least in the shorter term crypto. Again,
- 24:41Speaker 4: that's where people are most negative, which automatically I use
- 24:45Speaker 4: it as an indicator to make me more positive. And
- 24:48Speaker 4: again I think that that's the space where at least
- 24:51Speaker 4: in the next couple months, I think the reward is
- 24:53Speaker 4: going to be being in crypto.
- 24:55Speaker 1: There you go, guys, being in crypto. If you guys
- 24:58Speaker 1: want to follow Gareth, you can do that. We are
