Starting point is 00:00:00 As the market continues to chop sideways after the ETF, everybody's hung over seemingly. People seem to forget that we're still in a bull market and there are still massive opportunities here to make a ton of money if you zoom out and understand what is coming over the next few years. I have one of my absolute favorite guests here, Banter Fam. I know you guys are in the house. I've got Sheldon, the sniper, joining. We've got a huge announcement, but also the top markets. Look at some charts. And of course, Dan, the chart guy is in the back. Today is all about the charts, the trades, and the markets. You do not want to miss this one. Let's go. that like button, man, that interview with Anthony Scaramucci yesterday was epic. I've had the guy on the show, obviously a number of times, but he really was on yesterday. We've gotten a lot
Starting point is 00:01:13 of comments about it. A lot of hype people sharing clips from it. His anecdotes about Elizabeth Warren and Larry Fink and Jamie Dimon. It's one thing to have a conversation with someone and say, hey, what do you think Larry Fink is thinking about? It's another thing to have a conversation with someone who goes, this is exactly what Larry Fink told me, or this is exactly what Elizabeth Warren said to me. And so if you guys missed that interview yesterday, I highly, highly recommend going back and revisiting it. You can do it in 2X. We talked a lot about our wives and our hair and that we're getting old. Guy looks incredible for 60,
Starting point is 00:01:52 but that's not what you guys are here for. Hey, listen, Ryan B, it's my birthday. Can I get a shout out? Happy birthday, Ryan B. Happy birthday, Ryan B. See, look, I looked at the comments, guys, like a first time for everything. All right, guys.
Starting point is 00:02:04 I know you don't want to hear me talk, but there's someone who you do want to hear talk who's recording his 17th show today. What's up, brother? How you doing, bro? You got a big break coming up, so you're getting really ahead of it, right? What's going on? Bro, yeah. Please help me on that.
Starting point is 00:02:18 The nerves are hitting for the marriage. Is it such a big thing? Is the day quite crazy? Because I'm quite like... Kids are the big thing, man. People get all intimidated about marriage. I already lived with my wife before we got married. Then we went home. We were like, I guess we're married now. Life is exactly the same. Literally nothing has changed. It's when the kids hit that you really get the test. Yeah, bro. I got a little two-year-old girl
Starting point is 00:02:44 as well. Oh, that's right. You have a kid. Dude, marriage is running around. Marriage is like, you're going to be like, why didn't you warn me, bro? You knew this was coming. Like, what about the heads up?
Starting point is 00:02:54 Yeah, man. I guess we weren't close enough like three years ago when it happened to get you prepared. Yeah. But so listen, man, we're going to make some announcements here later
Starting point is 00:03:05 but first i want to talk about the market what's going on like like i kind of said in the intro there was the like god candle crowd right etf comes god candle's gonna come in my opinion the way the sec handled it kind of eliminated that in advance cleared out all the leverage gave us the fake announcement all that crap and we just had all these months of buildup. But what we ended up with was sort of like floating down and now just shop at 40,000. Right. So what do you think? For me, it's, you know, whatever the news may be or whatever the narrative may be, it's sort of the same thing, right? To get everyone hyped up, get everyone to sort of get into this flow that this is the moment. This is where we start to shine. Everyone starts to buy within the greenness. I think people
Starting point is 00:03:49 stop remembering the rules. So they come in and they start piling up on the green when things have already done, you know, Bitcoin's already done up to 100% at the time. And people are just continuing to pile in. And it makes sense that, you know, we had this big hype up and the seller news was obviously one of the big things again. So for me, it's another trap. I wouldn't say trap, but another mechanism that the market uses that you will see a lot more in the future. Doesn't matter the narrative, anything like that. They hype you up, get the whole market in. I don't know about you, but my views doubled to tripled on the shows. Everything started flying again. Interest started coming in. And that's always a little bit of the frothinessiness when you start to see a lot of tourists coming in and a lot of people that
Starting point is 00:04:28 haven't been there and things like that is usually the sign that they need some sort of flush out. So end of the day, who got destroyed from this, the latecomers, who obviously made a lot of money, the guys that were accumulating the early 20,000s, things like that. And now what they're trying to do is they're trying to scare the latecomers out. So what they'll do is they'll slowly bleed the market, right? So they'll start bleeding day by day. And then the worst thing that they do is they go sideways. And then what it does is like it really starts playing with your brain. And it starts to make you, you know, really start doubting the space and start making those those very small, you know, mistakes of of starting to get out and
Starting point is 00:05:05 started to chicken out of the actual thing. And guys, if this is anyone that's feeling this right now, it's a part of the game. And I think that's why this show today is going to be so powerful because I've got a few tools to just help you guys with that. One thing that I'm sure you can agree with me, brother, is the TA removes emotions from thing. Yes, you still see the candles and ups and downs, but you start making a little bit more rational decisions off of what the data is showing. And by doing that, you will start to see the traps start to come. You will start to breathe a bit on the red days.
Starting point is 00:05:35 I don't know about you, but I've been piling in quite a bit on a couple of coins on the way down now. I've been waiting for it. Thank goodness I didn't pile into the hype when we were really spiking up. But now, smart people are getting ready to buy. They're getting ready for investment entries. Solana was 130 bucks. It's back at 80. AVEX was 45. This thing's back now. You know what I mean? People are scared to buy now, but they want to buy when it's rampaging up. And I think we're here to just change that mindset and to show you how people really make money in this space. Yeah, I agree with that 100%.
Starting point is 00:06:06 I've been talking about Solana kind of all week. I sort of missed the train. I had Solana on Voyager, got liquidated like all the crap of the last cycle. I bought a little bit when it was much lower, but I just yesterday or Tuesday bought my first Solana of this entire cycle, right at 81 bucks.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Yeah, I kind of missed the move and I had bids. Basically, I still have the heaviest bids between sort of 75 and 77. I mean, I can literally just bring it up if it's easier. Yeah. I think we can definitely speak about that. I do think it's getting to decent levels now and there might be one more little shakeout. I think we've got to speak about, is Bitcoin going to 32K? We've got a lot of Bitcoin on sale at the moment. And it's quite interesting. Yeah, I just happened to have the Solana chart up.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Like I just view this whole area. And I keep seeing this area right here was that this is Luna, right? Everything broke down from this Luna level. Bitcoin is now testing the Luna level as support. Ethereum is now testing the Luna breakdown level as support. Everything that was relatively strong, a lot of coins are still under them, is coming back. And so I had this at like 77 to 75. And then on a live stream,
Starting point is 00:07:12 I think on Monday, I was like, dude, my zone's wrong. I need to move that up. And like market bought like the first 25% of a position right there. But the rest of it's down here. And then I literally have some bids like just complete stink down in this area around 50 bucks. Just in case we get a complete flush.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Exactly. So we've got to be prepared for that. But you know what I like about your charts in general as well is you got your good areas of where to possibly, you know, your supports, your liquidity areas. But what I also like about it is you run the trend lines, bro. And I think that's one big thing to also just share with the audience there is the trend line is a non-predicting strategy, right? It's literally just tracking momentum as it goes down. We don't know if the flush is going
Starting point is 00:07:52 to come yet, but we have that trend line to track when this thing's getting momentum again. And what's nice about the trend line is this thing can literally trail down for the next four weeks and you won't be FOMOing into it yet until that trend breaks. So it doesn't predict where the bottom is, but it shows you the current momentum of simple lower highs, simple lower lows right now. And the moment that starts to shift is usually when you start to see a little bit of a volume spike up again and things like that. So guys, it's not about predicting the market all the time. It's just about using a couple of tools that can help you identify when things are starting to change.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Right now, things are bearish. You know, short timeframe, short timeframe. I'm not saying high timeframe. High timeframe, we still make a bull, but we're cooling down, right? We came from 20K, we went up to 50K, nearly in one leg, which was insane. I don't know what you thought about that, but that was- It was insane. And that was the ETF trade.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Like in hindsight, that was the ETF trade. So listen, do you track, like, are you tracking? I know Ran heavily talking about it every show, you guys all over this GBTC selling, right? Everything's happening there. Are you strictly just in the charts and doesn't matter? I mean, I do believe that it'll just show in the chart when that selling kind of subsides
Starting point is 00:08:59 because things are going to start going back up and breaking key levels, right? And you can, if you have a chart, you can bring them up as well, of course. Of course, of course. So just to quickly chat, obviously, about I think what they've sold around nearly 100K, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Nearly around 100K of them. There's still a lot more in there. The thing for me is as price goes down now, their profits start getting a lot less. So the way it sort of makes for me is that, yes, they're selling pressure now. I get it. But I do think there will be the sort of range that Bitcoin will play in for a little while.
Starting point is 00:09:27 As it starts making its way up, we'll start getting a little bit more sell walls. And to be honest, you know, I think it's the perfect time for Bitcoin to possibly range. We've seen this before, the halvings and things like that, where it's time for Bitcoin to just chill out a little bit. And maybe that's between the, you know, the 38 or the 35 and the 45 sort of range. In that time, I'm hoping we do have a little bit of a dominance pullback. And I am hoping that we have a Ethereum boost start to come with possibly Ethereum to Bitcoin. Maybe Ethereum ETF, obviously saw the possible, I don't know if it was true yesterday, delays and things like that,
Starting point is 00:10:01 that starts coming to play. But I'm actually hoping Bitcoin chills a bit because I'm annoyed. I'm running three years now of Bitcoin getting all the love and everything like that. And Alcoin is getting absolutely nothing. I'm one of those that would actually like Bitcoin to range right now and to just to prepare for the next move, guys. In order for Bitcoin to break that all time high, you're going to need a bit of preparation. And I always speak about how sideways creates the pump. And I don't know if you want, before you bring that up, can I quickly share this? Yeah, of course. I was just showing that news. You said SEC delayed their decision timeline for BlackRock's proposed Ethereum ETF for March. Everybody's anticipating that the SEC is not going to do anything until the last possible day that they have to. So I don't think it
Starting point is 00:10:41 didn't even move the market. I don't think anyone's surprised, but you are right that that news sort of dropped yesterday. And also like you just described my entire thesis on this market, which is a lot of sideways. And then hopefully Ethereum starts to finally catch up. That's what I've sort of been saying is my base case. I said to tweet the other day that triggered everybody seemingly. I said, anybody ready for six to eight months of sideways? And people freaked out. That's big about it because it could be, guys, end of the day, sideways creates strength, right? I want to quickly speak about, you know, the last cycle. You know, you see that sideways momentum, Bitcoin literally range from around 3K all the way up to, you know, 10, 12K. But if you had to measure, if you had to measure that this sideways is exactly the same momentum that we made to the upside. Like sideways is what
Starting point is 00:11:25 creates results, right? It's what creates the sustainability of when the move actually comes. So now that I've started to understand that a lot more and things like that, I don't mind sideways at all. And you sort of see that we had to have this amount of sideways here in order to create this result. And it's actually crazy. If you take the exact sideways here and you link this up, it's very close to the exact result that we got. So in order for Bitcoin to realistically get back to all time highs, I would have to see a little bit of a range period here just to really pump it up. And you kind of saw it this time over here too, where we eventually tried to make our way up to the areas of this, you know, 14K and we needed a bit more power here, you know, to get through that all time high.
Starting point is 00:12:09 And what I like about this though, is the hard work I think is in now, but I think that we're going to fly through all time high. I don't think we're going to pause there much. I think the wall at 50K that we just been rejected at now is stronger than the world at all time high. And that's why for me, this is the period where they're really trying to hold. And I want to show you just a few little things that I've seen here. So the big question is bear rally, start a bull market. And the sad thing is until we're above 48, we're still kind of in a raging market. We're not in full bull just yet. But we have obviously showed the early
Starting point is 00:12:45 signs, but we saw this time over here where we did actually have this rally from the 3k back up to the 14k. And we had the initial bull market trend line, the initial one that as long as we held that line, you know, those open doors to, to crazy levels to the upside until the moment we dropped it. Right. So we ended up going in this long sort of a bear cycle here then we had this rally and we just couldn't get past this one important level which is the weekly 618 for me uh top to bottom there's it there and the trend and it literally stopped right there and now i look at the same thing here and i'm like okay let's look at the uh original one there's the original one right so just get rid of these blocks again so you can see them um we literally tagged the 618 so the scary thing now is the question is are we going to go into that that sort of range for a while into the harbing right so we're going to start this sort
Starting point is 00:13:33 of thing and then start to move up realistically it could be an option um because we would need a little bit of accumulating in order to get strength like if we just kept going and going and going one day you were just going to see something like this, right? Something absolutely smashed. So what you want to continuously see is the way Bitcoin has done it over the last year or two has been great. We make a level, we chill a little bit. We make a level, we chill a bit.
Starting point is 00:13:56 We go and we chill. As long as we keep doing that, it's sustainable to keep rampaging through. But right now, as it stands, this is one of the biggest weekly reversal candles I've seen in a while. It is. Definitely a hit and a nice reversal. And it's probably likely that maybe, you know,
Starting point is 00:14:15 we can start looking at these sort of levels. So you can either look at this and be upset or you can start looking at this and be like, finally, investment entries are coming available again for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and majority of altcoins where they weren't available three weeks ago. So you can either sit and be upset now with a couple of losses. But for me, it's the other way around. It's the opportunity again, because I know how fast this comes. And if you weren't ready for it, I even remember this little pump here. Me and Craig were sitting in the office and we were like,
Starting point is 00:14:42 I didn't buy enough, bro. I didn't have enough. Like I've been, uh, every day I pray for this bull market. And then when it starts, I'm like, ah, man, you know, it's this sort of thing. So right now you need to put your investor caps on and you need to start understanding that, uh, you know, yes, we are having a cool down period. I've been having a look at a few short-term things, which I'll show you over here quickly. Um, we obviously lost a little short- term trend. So right now we're showing a bit of downside. But I do think there is a little bounce. I don't think we're just going to go to 30k or 33k. I think it is a possibility, but I don't think just yet. The reason being is now we're starting to get the short is a little bit arrogant. The short is coming out now. The people that want this market to go down. And, you know, they obviously
Starting point is 00:15:24 got this level up here. And now what you can see is they market to go down. And, you know, they obviously got this level up here. And now what you can see is they literally just moving down. So they sold here, then there's the previous low. Now we come up, they've controlled this level. And then you see the next level. It's all the previous lows. Now they're just winning. And now they're trying to hold this one, right? And for me, I looked at a few things. I looked at this glass nodes, which is a good thing for the audience to have a look at, especially on the three day charts and just look at a couple of liquidation heat maps, see where there's a couple of liquidation sitting. And it's quite interesting. We've got sitting at 38,000. We've got a bunch of
Starting point is 00:15:57 longs, bunch of liquidations, and we have up to 3 billion sitting at 41 to $42,000. So we have a lot of liquidations and a lot of these pools starting to come. A lot of shorting is happening at the moment. So I am thinking that anywhere now between the 38, 37 sort of mark, I'm thinking a nice little bounce, I think a nice sort of push. And then we're going to see, was it a trap or not? Because if we go up and hit this trend, it's very likely at some point that next leg is coming down. Or maybe, but this would have to be some sort of news driven or something to really bring up hype. Maybe it was all a trap. Maybe that was literally just to wipe out a whole bunch of people.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Everyone that bought over here, which is sad, is selling right now. That's the sad thing. Everyone that bought there, they're the ones getting flushed out now and getting panked out now. Every time. Every every time so it's crazy actually how that happens so um so yeah it's quite interesting and i'm really loading up on a lot of old coins to be honest like for me and i'm just dollar casting into them i'm literally buying every single day i'm literally averaging out these areas for me total three has broken bull market territory it's it's given possibilities, remember Bitcoin over here, right? Bitcoin was 20, I think 25K was the high over here. And it took a while to get through
Starting point is 00:17:10 there. But the moment we turned 25K, we went to 28, then we went to 25, we retested it. We had 40 now. And for me, this total three breaking out over here and coming down now testing here, this is my ultimate zone when it comes to- Just real quick, just so people know, total three is the entire market cap of crypto minus Bitcoin and Ethereum. It's what a lot of people use as for just those of you who are watching
Starting point is 00:17:33 and maybe don't watch Sheldon's show or I haven't talked about it enough, even though I do occasionally, it effectively gives you a gauge of what everything else is doing when you take out the biggest two. Exactly. You know, Scott, I'll ask you this again.
Starting point is 00:17:45 If this was a coin, like, would you be buying it? Of course. If you look at this one. No, but look at this now. Oh, no, there. Would you be buying this? Absolutely. You know, for me, it's like, yes, but you still kind of,
Starting point is 00:17:59 this is not an investment entry, right? But this is the Bitcoin dominant, right? I thought we were still looking at total on the retest. No, on that dominance, I'd be waiting for that retest. Yeah, exactly. So for me, it's like, again, the cycle started again. It restarted with Bitcoin as what it does every time. Now you have an opportunity of the ETF narrative chilling for maybe the next few until the halving comes. Then we've got Bitcoin again. And I do think in that time, don't lose too much focus within altcoins. Don't lose too much focus in those times. For me, they're still in investment
Starting point is 00:18:28 entries. They never got the true pop just yet. So a lot of my focus is in there. And personally, I'm not buying Bitcoin here. I am saving for around $34, $35 to pick up some more Bitcoin over there. But many altcoins, good levels. Yeah. So let's get specific because to be clear for everyone, you said you're accumulating all coins, you're buying every day, but long-term. So these aren't positions that you have a stop loss 5% below price and you're right. You're actually trying to buy bigger dips as they come down, which is sort of how I said was my approach for Solana. What specifically are you looking at? Which coins and why are those the ones that you're sort of choosing to accumulate? Because I think most people look at this, they're like, there's a thousand things I could buy, right? Exactly. It is tough. It is tough. It is tough. I'm a little
Starting point is 00:19:15 bit more different than others. A lot of people are looking for new narratives and things like that. Last bull market, I hit a couple of coins that I just knew how to invest and how to trade them. Investor or trader, you're the same thing. The only difference is you're using a different timeframe. If you're an investor, guys, it's quite simple. Pop on literally two or three indicators. Let me just get them up here for you. Give me two secs. Literally pop on something called the stochastic RSI, which is very simple. Look what this is showing us right now. Why am I dollar costing
Starting point is 00:19:45 every day? Because we're still not there yet, right? We're still not at that point. You can see every time we were at these bottom points were the temporary sort of bottom areas, right? But I still know there's a couple of bleeding coming here at the moment. But for me, I'm trading a lot of the older cycle tokens, tokens that actually have data. Now, reason being is, guys, I love fundamentals, but the problem is I fell in love with every single token and I held 150 tokens through the bear market and it sucked. It made me realize that it's terrible, bro. It made me realize that this is a money game. Make money and that's it.
Starting point is 00:20:21 And stack Bitcoin. That for me has now become the biggest sign of how to trade this market. So the reason why I like older coins, and I'll give you a few examples. Obviously, Solana is one of them. I'll speak about that in a sec. But things like ThorChain, I'm on it strong at the moment. AVAX, I'm on it strong. Nia, I'm on it strong. Phantom, Cardenos, a lot of these older ones. And the reason being is, there's data and there's levels for me to actually trade on. There's actually areas of where I know I can actually take profits. Like if you're a simple chartist, you could see that there's one thing that's been happening with Cardano over the last couple of months. And it's literally been in this, this, this, this movement of these lower
Starting point is 00:20:57 highs every time, lower lows. And for the first time we are getting the sign, right? We're getting the early sign of the first higher high in play and therefore the higher low here and you're getting the sign that this should start reversing and start giving you the next uh sort of momentum to the upside so for me any token that has that's that's obviously got some fundamentals must be absolutely nothing um but end of the day i have all of these levels that I can use to actually bank profit this next bull market. The hardest thing about the previous bull market is I got into a bunch of also newer tokens. Guys, when your coin is doing this, what do you do, right? There's no level, there's no data, there's no nothing. But there's an argument, right? People say, oh, but these coins are not going to perform as good as the
Starting point is 00:21:42 new ones. And I'm like'm like okay so is it money that you're going for is it is it the gains that you're going for because you've got no no nothing to use to help you sell or get out of the token and they're like yes and i'm like okay but then i run a two or three x on the side of cardano and it'll do the exact same amount as your coin so it's not about the money it's not about the this new coin and that people don't even like a lot of these coins haven't even survived bear markets yet. And that's one thing I realized with these tokens. If they've gone through a bear market, I respect them a bit more.
Starting point is 00:22:10 And if they survived and they've gone through at least two cycles before, I respect them and it gives me levels. Now, guys, there's a few things that I use here. I'm a TH artist. I love it. It doesn't have any emotions. But I need to buy on a few things. The first thing I need to buy on is I need to buy on the stochastic RSI on the weekly
Starting point is 00:22:27 bottom. That for me has always been, these indicators are so powerful on very high timeframes. They get weaker as you go to the lower. That's how it works with indicators, right? So when this gets to the bottom, it's great. The next thing that I do is I literally look for a very strong Fibonacci level. And you can see we are not too far out from the 618. This has always been a great tool for me to DCA. And it's just known as the
Starting point is 00:22:50 golden zone, right? The golden pocket when it comes. They'd ask me why the numbers work, but they work. And then what I need is I need a fourth, a third thing. The third thing for me would be I need some sort of horizontal support on a two. Okay. And the reason why I'm putting all these things, because it sort of highlights the area for me and it doesn't make me jump. It doesn't make me jump too early. It makes me like be slightly patient for these things. So now what I'm looking for is I'm looking for a good Fib level. I'm looking for good support. I'm waiting for RSI to get at the bottom. And then exactly what Scott does. The last thing that I need over there is there is a good old trend line, right?
Starting point is 00:23:30 I need a good old trend line that gives me an idea that all these indicators are showing me the area. It gives me a good idea of, you know, we're breaking trend and this is when we should start moving. Remember what an actual, sorry, I know I'm teaching a little bit, Joe, if you don't mind, bro. No, it's what I want. Yeah, because we're going to talk about that in a minute. Good, good, good. So, guys, end of the day, what is a trend line? A trend line is literally just tracking a token, lower highs, you know, lower lows all the time. And it's the same to the upside. If something's trending up, you can pop a trend in there and just track the higher lows. That's all that it's
Starting point is 00:23:57 doing. It's literally just tracking. So when you have that in play, when you finally have the first little example of popping out that trend, it's indicating something's changed and you'll tend to have a higher high after that higher low and then this will start to happen over here so a trend line is just showing you that hey you've been giving lower highs the bears have been winning this fight there's only two teams in this battle red and red and green right the red's been winning at this time but now something is starting to shift and when you got that with also very good support areas and things like that, it tends to get you many more winners, especially when you've got four or five indicators or indicating one spot. So I teach a lot about these things and why the 618 and why these things are so good. Because guys, how many people were buying two,
Starting point is 00:24:41 three weeks ago? We saying this thing's 40% down now rsr's are down now everyone's very bearish now there's a lot of fear in the market and these are the perfect things to to actually use to buy within the market so i love using a lot of these tools because they they teach me to buy these pullbacks i buy good levels and things like that so the tokens for me brother um i still think ethereum is going to rocket i really do um that's that's my i'm trading a little bit of arbitrum and optimism and lighter and stuff on the side with it definitely um because they also have a lot of opportunity to the upside and then to be honest i'm swing and sort of long term trading a lot of these previous cycle tokens and i got thor chain absolutely rocketed um this
Starting point is 00:25:24 thing has been massive for me. We accumulated this whole area. And you know what's crazy? It all started with a damn trendline break. That's where it started, right? Every time. And that was the whole thing for me. And what's actually quite interesting too here, if I show you this period here, because
Starting point is 00:25:40 there's a little trendline break here. If I just pop a fib from bottom to the top there, what number did it bounce on? 618, baby. And that's the thing. So guys, have your fundamentals, have the coins that you want. But at the end of the day, have a proper strategy. And my four check or my five check list before I'm allowed to buy a token, basically really works out my risk to reward. It really works out that my rewards are a lot bigger than my risk. It gets me smart in those things. The only thing that changes is my timeframes. And I want to show you this for a second for the audience here. These are a lot of things you'll learn about the trading and stuff, stuff through
Starting point is 00:26:17 school and stuff. But if you look at this, guys, your one hour chart shows you literally 24 to 48 hours of data. That's it. So if you try to buy something for long term on a one hour chart, like you're looking at the wrong data, right? The four hour shows you three to five days, your eight hour shows you six to eight days, 12 hour, 10 to 14 daily. And then obviously your weekly shows you three months, what happens next three months.
Starting point is 00:26:39 And the monthly obviously shows you what happens within the next year. So if you're a investor, all you have to focus on is one timeframe, right? One timeframe, one checklist, one strategy, and that's all you got to do. And that strategy makes sure that you buy pullbacks, good major levels, and confirmation buys. And if you're a trader, you just shift. If you're a part-time worker and you want to trade on the side, a four-hour is perfect for you because it's one or two trades a week, right?
Starting point is 00:27:06 You don't have the time, but you can still make money. And I think that's the power of what we're trying to get here. Dude, you're the best guest in history. I don't have to do a damn thing. It's amazing. But guys, I want to tell you, so none of this was planned. We said, what are we going to talk about? And we said, we'll just shoot the shit. But I want to tell you, you guys have been seeing me on the weekly chart on Bitcoin talking about the golden pocket, the 61.8% retrace that we've seen in every single one. And you see that we both drew the same exact damn line on Solana, right? And we're approaching these the same way. And because I watch Sheldon's show every day, literally helps me prep. You're like ahead of me usually by two hours. It's great
Starting point is 00:27:42 so I can see what the hell this guy's talking talking about and because your team then came to me and said listen sheldon teaches you don't have any educational thing they're like you want to do a course and i was like no but i want to help sheldon do his course because we view the market the same way so yeah huge announcement i said is that because sheldon and i are so aligned and because what they're doing is completely free and I don't want to charge for a course, I'm jumping in to Sheldon's. You're doing a cohort. I'm late because I'm late. I'm slow. Right.
Starting point is 00:28:16 And I always mess everything up. If you ask anyone, I have ADHD. So it's like we could talk about it for months and then it's like, oh, it's Tuesday. But literally on Tuesday, I think it's like oh it's tuesday but literally on tuesday it's i think it's at like 12 30 eastern standard time i'm joining and going to help uh sheldon teaching uh sniper school or actually i'm just gonna kind of go through it and learn i've taken the entire course believe it or not guys i don't do anything uh outside of make content and i sat through the entire thing and did it so you can sign up with my link down below. It is completely free. It's right down description, literally what he just did, which I didn't even know you'd show up and teach.
Starting point is 00:28:48 I thought we were going to, you know, talk about coins to moons and all that shit that we're just going to do this together and it's free. And all you got to do is sign up with the link right down below. I mean, can you, I know we're a little, I'm running you over time a little bit, but can you just tell them what to expect from school so I don't have to? So guys, also just to sum it down quickly, again, three years ago I was a carpenter and these were the little tools that after a couple of months of liquidations and crypto really wrecking me and just getting to a point I wanted to quit, I managed to get a few of these very simple things down and I started putting them together and I started actually treating my money in my portfolio as businesses. Like I literally, if I had a thousand dollars,
Starting point is 00:29:28 200 would go there, 400 would go there. One would be for a car, one would be to pay rent, one would be for groceries. Like that was the power of it when I started actually having purpose behind the money. So my goal here is to actually just make sure that you realize that you're the boss of your money. Now you need purpose, you need structure, you need a very simple system that anyone can do and stop confusing yourself. This little dub that you're seeing on the daily, like as an investor, why do you give a crap? Like, you know what I mean? And that's the big thing. It's just about looking at the right sort of thing. So you'll be able to go from completely novice to having actual understanding about what we're talking about, to have an actual understanding of where to buy tokens and to have your emotions relax a bit. And the moment you can actually relax and start making
Starting point is 00:30:11 good decisions and not make decisions on emotions anymore is the moment you start to fly guys. So it's just about to give you that aha moment. I know a lot of people have really been in crypto for probably a couple of years. You're probably missing one bolt, to be honest. You've built your car. You just need a Titan one or two screws and you're gonna you're gonna kick butt out there right um so the goal is to get you that and one thing you will get at sniper school and i'm excited to have you bro because i want to get your views you know you're going to be the one talking a little bit more than me on the next one um i want to get a little bit of your your views bro um but the one thing that you do get there guys is uh you know you got a powerhouse team that just did it. It's guys that didn't have much.
Starting point is 00:30:45 You know, and this is my whole team. This is Craig. This is my mom's there. My mom kicks butt. My mom's, you know, in her 40s. This is my favorite part of the whole story. She trades all the time. She'll be there.
Starting point is 00:30:54 You know what I mean? And you'll just see how crypto brought us together as this family. And you're going to have a family. And I think that's a big thing to have here. The days you're feeling a bit down, you're feeling a bit nervous and stuff like that. You know, you've got people that pick you up and sometimes they feeling down, you pick them up. So it's an incredible community.
Starting point is 00:31:09 It's a very, very, very good course. And it's a, it's just going to give you what you need to succeed in the space. And we just want you to succeed. That's why it's literally free. I do it out of love.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Yeah. What I really love about it, you're obviously teaching people to trade, right? But you're not encouraging that necessarily. Like I said, you're really encouraging people to get in a better mindset and to understand that they need to zoom out and the real money is going to be made by investing slowly right so i think it's i don't want them to be millionaires and then they give it all back
Starting point is 00:31:37 right it's like let's stop bumping our head on the same branch so it's just trying to give our experiences to show them and uh we have a massive amount. Guys, we've had 60, 62,000 people through Cypress School in year one. I don't understand. I have 15,000 in this world right now. That's like more people than have watched my channel in history. And you're like, get them lined up for a school. It's insane. I don't know you guys.
Starting point is 00:32:00 And we have a couple of guys that have already become millionaires. Like the stories are insane. So that's what it's about, bro. It's us against the world, right? Back to back, we take it on and we go every single day. So that's it, bro. Dude, I absolutely love it. Guys, once again, down in the description, I'm reminding you again, it's completely free. It is free. I'm not showing you something here. You just sign up and Sheldon will teach you. And I want to show up because I think that this is an opportunity.
Starting point is 00:32:31 I mean, I think you already have like 14,000 people in this cohort or something crazy. Yeah. And the next one starts in March. This one, you guys can still get in there only on Scott's link though. On any other links, you cannot get in this cohort only on his link you can get. So we're allowing in and then the next one's in March. And then I think we do every six weeks is a brand new one. Sorry for being a procrastinator guys. We're going to keep doing this.
Starting point is 00:32:51 And I really do want to be a part of it because I passionately believe that if you're going to be in this market, you can't just watch a bunch of YouTube and hope for the best. You got to really, we've worked our butts off and let's, let's leave a legacy, right? Let's leave a legacy. Let's build a culture and everyone, you start to get the new stars that get born from it. I've seen guys that are about to join shows. They're about to create their own cohorts.
Starting point is 00:33:12 There's big opportunities for you guys. And yeah, to that end, I'm about to start expanding our channel, as I told you guys. So maybe some of the people who come through this and successful could end up as hosts on my channel. Bro, if you need anything, you let me know. We've got tons.
Starting point is 00:33:23 The talent walking through the door at the moment is insane. It's insane. I need it. All right, man. I kept Sheldon over time and I've got Dan waiting. Awesome, man. Thank you so much. I can't wait to do this on Tuesday, guys. See you Tuesday, bro. Much love. Thank you, guys. Thank you. Bestie, man. Sheldon's getting
Starting point is 00:33:39 married and going on a honeymoon soon. He's trying to get it all in before he takes weeks off. Anyone in this market knows to get it all in before he takes weeks off. And anyone in this market knows how difficult it is to take a couple of weeks off. It's really, really mentally hard. You know what we've got next, but first I've got to tell you, since we're in the mood for talking about things that we're doing, the Wolf of Wall Street Times, Dev E up there in the corner. I told you guys about them last week. I've been meeting with this team on an extremely regular basis because I'm so gun-shy about sponsors, as you guys know. I very rarely do it. I bet Dan's in the back in the waiting room going, Scott has sponsors on his show
Starting point is 00:34:17 because Scott never has had a sponsor on his show ever since we've been doing this. But as you can see, guys, it's down in the description and also scrolling down there along the bottom. Describe it as a hyper scale blockchain that's flexible to be regulatory compliant. Really, what you need to know about it is that it's regulatory compliant everywhere. Exceptionally, exceptionally environmentally friendly. They literally built this for the people who have to be or want to be concerned with ESG and the environment. And it's insanely, insanely programmable and adaptable for governments, large corporations. Basically, guys, this is the blockchain that everybody's going to be using at the institutional level. That's faster, cheaper, cleaner, all those things. I think I told you guys about it, but the people who are developing it, usually you hear like, who's developing that new layer one blockchain? It's like an on goat face ape on Twitter. In this case, it is the former head of the US Defense Intelligence Agency, the inventor and builder of Kindle, the former CIO of Starbucks, the former president of Universal Pictures. I wouldn't be talking about it unless it was a lot of people, a hell of a lot more accomplished than me that's building it.
Starting point is 00:35:34 Also, as you'll notice below, we're just telling you about them. There's no affiliate link down below. I want you to click and check them out. But there's nothing in it for me. If you click and sign up to something, nothing of that. I'm literally just telling you about it because it's awesome, unique and worth knowing about. Guys, it is time now for Dan Chart Guys. Dude, I know you usually hear me like talking to somebody about ETFs or about like the long term value of Bitcoin. You show up today and all of a sudden it's a lot of charts. Yeah, definitely right out my alley, a little bit more engaging for me mentally. So yeah, it was great. I like showing.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Yeah, it's nice because you always show up early and we didn't bore you this time. Exactly. It's wonderful. I'm curious then where you are thinking now with Bitcoin kind of struggling around this for, I guess some people could say it's great. with Bitcoin kind of struggling around this. I guess some people could say it's great. It's right around 40,000. I would say kind of struggling around 40,000. I'm curious your view. Yeah, I'm on the 12-hour timeframe here on the shorter term side of things. And my simple guide is if this EMA 12 is resistance, then nothing is changing. If we get over that, then we could say,
Starting point is 00:36:45 all right, a temporary bottom is being set. But if we're talking bigger picture, you know, I've been the devil's advocate in the sense of, hey, you know, we might set a six month lower high and pull back and tighten up for a lot of 2024. And so the next big check mark as to if that's going to be happening or not is going to be on the weekly timeframe. So we're going to bounce eventually on the weekly and I'm expecting a weekly lower high. And that's where we use retracements to help us determine most likely scenarios. And so let's just say, we don't have enough information that this is the bottom for now, but if it were, we would need to see the bulls get back up to 44,000 or so to try and reclaim 50% plus bounce retracement. Because
Starting point is 00:37:24 anything less than that, the next big checkmark for bears will be, can the bears confirm a weekly downtrend as a result of the next bounce? And if they do that, that's going to significantly increase the probabilities that that six-month lower high is going to form and that we're going to tighten up for another six months, potentially. As you mentioned, it might be really boring for the next six to eight months. And we were saying that even to euphoria, we have to be prepared for that as a possible scenario. And if you're looking to accumulate, you want that. That's the thing. You want that to set the six month high or low and to do exactly what 2017, 2018 did, just tighten up
Starting point is 00:38:00 and then it's time to go. And so the question is, do we tighten up, look for the longer term entries on the six month high or low, maybe in the low 30 thousands, and then eventually get a break where it's party time. We'll see. Yeah. As you heard me say to him, I sort of sent that triggering tweet that was, you know, who's ready for six to me. I'm personally ready for six to eight months of chops, something like that. I mean, in my mind, even beyond the case you just made on the chart, we just had the ETF trade. That was all the hype in the world. Now we move on to the halving narrative, inevitably.
Starting point is 00:38:32 Maybe we'll get an Ethereum spot ETF. Maybe that'll be a thing. But to me, we go right back to where we would have been if we had never had the spot ETF, which is the halving narrative. And you look at every single halving cycle. And yes, there's 30% moves in both directions. That's volatility, but that's still sideways to me unless you're breaking key highs or breaking below kilos, right? So you just showed it'll go, that could be
Starting point is 00:38:53 sideways. And then after the summer, the having supply reduction or whatever, the stars start to align and it kicks in and we go parabolic know, parabolic through the end of that year and into the final year of that process. And then we top and, you know, good luck. So to me, that means fall of 2024 and then 2025 is really, really exciting. I'm not saying that will happen, but I'm saying there's a very clear case for that to happen that people should be prepared for. Absolutely. Again, the whole way up, my thing was, I don't know what's going to happen. You'd be prepared for the lower high. You'd be prepared for all-time highs, have a game plan for each. And so there's nothing drastically surprising with the price action
Starting point is 00:39:33 right now. And just the fact that the monthly timeframe, we just... That's Macy's. We don't want that. The monthly timeframe for Bitcoin just went straight up. We need a monthly high or low. I mean, we just went from 25 to almost 50. That's 100% move in four or five months. We have to set a monthly high or low at some point here. And so the reversal candle is shaping up for January. And again, that weekly downtrend, whether or not that confirms, is going to be key for the bigger picture for the monthly and the six-month timeframe. And one other thing, we've been talking about the cannabis sector every now and again, the most, the best
Starting point is 00:40:08 trade I've ever made in my trading career was selling 2017 euphoria and rolling it into cannabis. And we're seeing that again, taking shape where, you know, we have the climax top on Bitcoin. We're now down, like I did the math yesterday, it was, we're down 18%. And in that same period of time, MSOS, the cannabis ETF is up 28%. And so there is that rotational trade again. And a lot of people are interested in both sectors just because, you know, if you talk about what's the highest risk, highest reward space you can put your money in, it's crypto. And it's these sectors that are, you know, trying for law changes and are very underdeveloped still at this point.
Starting point is 00:40:50 I really think that I saw a survey actually that supported this. But like one of the biggest things Biden could theoretically do to try to win this election is get marijuana rescheduled. The amount of votes that they're predicting it could bring simply by him doing that as a political move is pretty compelling. I'm not saying vote for Biden. I'm not making a political statement. I'm just saying that they've done the research and they know that if he changed this, he doesn't lose anyone because they're all Democrats anyways, and he could gain a huge swath of the population that wants to see this rescheduled. Yeah, it's essentially, if he continues to struggle and if the polls continue to be unfavorable, it's a Hail Mary. It's, you know, you've got to try something and, you know, consider you've already come out verbally in support of this thing. All right,
Starting point is 00:41:35 now prove it, like do something. And that's one of the reasons why, you know, we're waiting for this DEA headline that can come out at any point. I'll pull up the MSOS chart right now, but we're waiting for the headline that can come at any point. But I'm also open to the possibility they might save it, you know, for the summer or for late summer heading into the fall to kind of coast on that headline a bit more rather than, you know, use it up now. And then six months goes by and it kind of fades a bit. Yeah, I'll give you like October, one month before the election, you know, and it's close and try to time it perfectly. But I totally agree. It's funny. People are saying it's being rescheduled in the next year, regardless of president. Yeah, but I agree with that. And that's why Dan's been saying this is the trade. But I'm saying you could probably time it more
Starting point is 00:42:24 accurately based on the political motivation of it happening. It's happening eventually, why Dan's been saying this is the trade, but I'm saying you could probably time it more accurately based on the political motivation of it happening. It's happening eventually. The world only moves in one direction when it comes to those things. And this is a small amount of pricing it in as more and more people become aware of the decision and think that it's likely to happen. I mean, we're up 50% in almost just about a month. And so, it's not priced in. I'm not saying that, but I just want to let people know the more you run up into rescheduling, the more it does get priced in. So as I've been saying, I'm going to treat that headline very differently how I trade it. If it comes out and we're trading at $9, or if it
Starting point is 00:43:00 comes out and we've been going up for three months and we're trading at $13, $14. But with where we stand right now, bigger picture, it's all about 988 on MSOS. And some of the stronger individual names have already broken that level, but MSOS here is still hovering just under it. So that's the next major hurdle that the bulls need to get over. And if we were to do that, that would be the first monthly uptrend that this ETF has ever seen. So it's been all bare. And now we're just basing out and trying to flip those scales where demand starts to exceed supply. And we're almost there. It looks like such a big pump when you zoom in and then you zoom out and it's just crazy. That's how all coin charts look. You're like, I'm up 3x and it's still down 94% real-time high.
Starting point is 00:43:49 And, you know, last night I watched on Netflix the, what's it called? The Dumb Money, the GME story. Yeah, bad metric. And so that just makes me think like, man, you get that right sexy headline and you get retail jumping on this thing and that's when it gets fun. So definitely keeping focused there until we get a decision from the DEA. How's the movie? It was pretty good. My one problem with it was at the end, it was kind of like sunshine and rainbows. And it's like, no, we dropped 90% and a ton of bag holders were created. I have friends
Starting point is 00:44:21 that I was typing with online, like, hey, trying to reason with them, but nope, the short squeeze is just getting started. We're going 500 to 1,000 plus, and they're bag holders now. And so it kind of diminished the fact that a bunch of retail was hurt. Retail won, sure, but then a bunch of retail was hurt. And they didn't really talk anything about how GME has performed after the short squeeze, which is terrible. Yeah. Hollywood. So it was like the guy, Michael Lewis or whatever, wrote the SBF book. It's like he just stopped the history of the book before SBF got in trouble. Yeah, exactly. I'm just going to do the good part. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:08 And so, yeah, here's GME, the monthly timeframe. There's the squeeze adjusted for the reverse split. And here we are down almost 90%. And so, yes, it was a glorious moment. But if you didn't know to take profit, and so many retail traders don't. I mean, we learned that your first crypto cycle that you're in, you're going to get back way more profit than you want to. And so, I just know that many millions of people did that in this GME story. Absolutely. Is there anything else you're watching right now? I mean, things just, yeah, we did have the blue sky breakout on stocks over the last week. I mean, you got SBI, QQQ, all of it. I mean, it's pretty crazy. The semiconductors are running the show. And, the summer of last year, we had the AI hype and people were talking about, is AI a bubble back in last May? And the semiconductors are everything
Starting point is 00:45:58 that you hoped they could be and more in terms of, people were talking about the AI bubble back here. And this is NVDA just continuing to cruise higher. And you got SMCI and AMD and these charts are just showing, granted, we're entering the euphoria stage, which means caution, but they're just absolute beast mode. And the semiconductors are running the NASDAQ and the NASDAQ is running the S&P 500. And that's keeping things really strong right now. As far as other things I'm watching, I'm watching these crypto stocks. I was playing this M.A.R.A. bounce. I got a really good fill on Friday, but I bailed yesterday after we failed to break the bounce high. And my mindset was just, you know, the NASDAQ can't be any stronger. Bitcoin's 5 percent off its lows and we're not breaking the bounce highs
Starting point is 00:46:42 right now. That's a bit of a red flag for me. But still trading sideways at the moment. It could easily be a bear flag. It all depends on whether Bitcoin gets over that 12-hour EMA 12 that I pointed out first thing. Yeah, I am not thrilled about how miners have behaved here. And you look at coin and it's just- You know, it does make sense though. All like all these things that everything's obvious in hindsight, guys. Right. So like I'm not I will never be the one who claims oh, so obvious. Like I didn't really people mentioned the GBTC unlock. I didn't understand the gravity of that. And that even if we got literally billions in fresh money and inflows, that that would continue to keep the market down.
Starting point is 00:47:22 I underestimated that. I also think I underestimated the rotation out of miners and coin and micro strategy into the ETFs. These were the things that people were buying because there was no ETF. Yeah, they were the proxies. Doesn't mean they're going to go down forever. Those are temporary things. But I'm just saying, I underestimated. I saw miners flying. I said, oh, they're going to get an ETF. There's got to be great for everything Bitcoin. Well, a hell of a lot of people clearly who were owning miners would rather own an ETF. Yeah. And these stocks all topped out before that ETF.
Starting point is 00:47:55 Yeah, they did. And what I'm watching for, we talked about Bitcoin. Okay, next weekly bounce, where do we set a lower high? Do we confirm the downtrend? I'm looking at coin and I'm just looking for something very similar. We're going to set a weekly higher? Do we confirm the downtrend? I'm looking at coin and I'm just looking for something very similar. You know, we're going to set a weekly higher low. We're going to bounce and set a lower high eventually. And so I am keeping an eye out for swing entries, looking for the weekly higher lows in these crypto stocks. It's just a question of, in my opinion, do we get one more like down first or not?
Starting point is 00:48:18 And that's what we're watching for over the next week. Something I drew on, I just brought up the coin chart yesterday. I mean, I'm a long-term investor in coin. I just, for some reason, hadn't really been watching this. I have a couple of charts for everything, but I had drawn this back in November, I guess, when it broke out and listen, it almost got to the target anyways. So not great, but always anticipating this sort of retest of the 116 area. And it got to 117.6 or something. You usually get front run when you have a level, but listen, I'm going to buy more probably just because I like buying coin as a long-term investment. But this kind of got back to where I was talking about. And I wasn't really paying
Starting point is 00:49:00 attention because maybe I had an alarm on this and it didn't quite trigger. But it is a pretty interesting area for coin, in my opinion. This was the top of accumulation literally from when this launched. I mean, you're talking about May 22 to November 23. This is where it found a base after all that downside. So it's a pretty compelling chart. Yeah. I'm glad you pointed that out because I didn't realize we were that close to that level. One of our chart guys team members, Lamont, is all about volume profile. And as soon as we're done here, I'm going to send this chart over to him because I know that's going to be right up his alley in terms of a previous resistance level looking to act as support.
Starting point is 00:49:34 Yeah. I mean, that was the twice top of that entire range for a good year and a half. You expect that to kind of come down. Can you explain the GBTC outflows? Why is FTX part of this? It's all because GBTC has higher fees than the new ETFs. I'm going to let Dan go because he's done and then I'll explain that to you. Is that cool? Sure. All right, Dan, man. Thank you so much. Guys, follow chart guys, of course. Always appreciate you having you here at Insight.
Starting point is 00:49:58 We'll see you next week, man. All right, Scott. Thanks. See you. Awesome. So listen, we're going to do the giveaway obviously in a minute because that's what we do around here and because Misha got new hair. And I literally would give away money just for you guys to see his hair. But let's go back to this. Can you explain the GBTC outflows? Why is FTX part of this? It's all because GBTC has higher fees than the new ETF. So first of all, I think it was on this Monday, I did a video on this for the street, which you can revisit on the street, but this is what's happening. So FTX, obviously their estate was a huge holder of GBTC. They participated in that massive widowmaker arbitrage trade that everybody's talking about that effectively
Starting point is 00:50:35 crushed the entire industry. Like Three Arrows Capital, BlockFi, FTX, Gemini, all of these people, a lot of the way that they were making yield, if you guys remember, was that GBTC used to trade at a huge premium. So they could basically make free money by buying it, waiting to six months until they could get their money out and then making a huge premium over spot. It went down into the negative territory, became a discount, wrecked absolutely everybody. But as part of the estate, FTX, massive amount of GBTC, a billion dollars worth, they were unable to take their money out. There were no redemptions of GBTC for over a year. GBTC literally, Grayscale just held people's
Starting point is 00:51:18 money, charged a 2% fee for having it, and just never let anyone out. Your money was literally locked. I'm not talking about shares you could trade on the stock market. So what happened was the minute it became an ETF, it became redeemable and tradable as it converted. So FTX, on behalf of their creditors, which is exactly what they're supposed to do, liquidated their GBTC to get that billion dollars out, which goes into the bankruptcy for creditors. That was one part of it. The other part, obviously, the higher fees, GBTC Grayscale did a quick calculation and said, we already have $27 billion in AUM. Everybody else has zero. If we charge a higher fee, we're going to lose a ton of people. But how many will we keep that we can still make a ton of money going from 2% to 1.5%?
Starting point is 00:51:59 Remember, if they go from 2% to 0.2% like everyone else, people might stay, but they lose all the money they've been making. They've been making 2% on 27 billion, right? So 0.2% on 27 billion, ain't that great for them. They're going to take a 90% haircut in fees, right? So that was a huge part of it. And then there's just a shit ton of people, I think, who are trading the discount literally just as a trade, right? And who didn't care about being in Bitcoin or being GBC, they said, there's an asset that's at a 50% discount to the underlying asset. And it got to zero and they closed. I did not expect to give you that full accounting, but that's what it is. And now it's time to bring on our newly, I was going to say dreadheaded, but it's brilliant. Well, that's what happened. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:48 I call it white ASAP Rocky. What does that mean? ASAP Rocky. I don't know how you call it. Oh, ASAP Rocky. I got you. White ASAP Rocky. Yeah, see, this is, you know, ASAP.

Like, you could be Post Malone right now. I feel like you went through one of these phases or something. So, guys, you know, listen, no more man bun, as Alistair said. It's fine. It'll be back.
