  1. 0:13Hey,
  2. 0:14what's going on everybody? This is the
  3. 0:17Blockchain Backer bringing you the
  4. 0:19latest cryptocurrency news and analysis.
  5. 0:22Today we'll be taking a look over here
  6. 0:23at the total market cap of the
  7. 0:25cryptocurrency market and the Bitcoin
  8. 0:27price chart now that we have two
  9. 0:28consecutive closes above the 50week
  10. 0:31moving average that not only were
  11. 0:33capable of closing above this 50week
  12. 0:35moving average but also able to continue
  13. 0:38higher above the 50we moving average for
  14. 0:40two consecutive weeks. We've seen this
  15. 0:42in past market cycles. Of course, we did
  16. 0:44this back in 2023 where we were able to
  17. 0:47significantly break and then the weeks
  18. 0:49after continue marching higher only to
  19. 0:51build a range afterwards. 2019, of
  20. 0:54course, was a big break, another
  21. 0:55continuation, and then we went into a
  22. 0:57full-blown retrace of the entire bare
  23. 0:59market and then just continued ranging
  24. 1:01afterwards. But over there back in 2015
  25. 1:04we of course broke from the 50we had a
  26. 1:06continuation week and then that third
  27. 1:08week gave quite a big move in here but
  28. 1:11still we remained rangebound there in
  29. 1:14that precapitulation
  30. 1:15kind of rally prior to capitulation as
  31. 1:18I've deemed it over the past several
  32. 1:19years. That's really kind of where we
  33. 1:21got stuck back in 2015 and 2016. That
  34. 1:25range for us here in 2026 was right in
  35. 1:27here. this rally prior to capitulation
  36. 1:31coming in here. We've now entered back
  37. 1:32into that range. Two consecutive green
  38. 1:35closes and continuations happening here
  39. 1:37above the 50. So, it's all optimistic.
  40. 1:39Lots of green throughout the market. And
  41. 1:40of course, we've seen a lot of action
  42. 1:42over there in the altcoin market in
  43. 1:43various little sectors and spots. I
  44. 1:45personally do not own any Q&A.
  45. 1:49You guys have given me a hard time over
  46. 1:50the years for calling it quaint quaint.
  47. 1:52I don't know what I call it. Uh but last
  48. 1:54week it saw a 420%
  49. 1:57increase in a matter of one, two, three,
  50. 2:00four days. So what a huge move to come
  51. 2:02out of there for quant after being
  52. 2:04rangebound in here ever since the bottom
  53. 2:06back there at the capitulation phase of
  54. 2:08June of 2022. Long range, huge move. And
  55. 2:12of course, we're seeing this type of
  56. 2:13stuff show up in here after we've gotten
  57. 2:15through really the worst of the market.
  58. 2:17Another side note about this coin, which
  59. 2:19is funny because I don't own any of it,
  60. 2:20but you guys have asked about it a lot
  61. 2:22over the years, and I've been to
  62. 2:23multiple crypto conferences where people
  63. 2:25say, "Yeah, I own quant because of you."
  64. 2:27I'm like, "What are you talking about? I
  65. 2:29don't even own any of it." But I'm happy
  66. 2:31for you guys on that one. You know,
  67. 2:33otherwise, this market is acting exactly
  68. 2:35like what we would want to see. We've
  69. 2:36seen all the technicals to get our way
  70. 2:38out of the absolute despair of the
  71. 2:41market. The thing of course I'm just
  72. 2:42like cautiously on alert for preparing
  73. 2:45for is like we kind of go through
  74. 2:46different phases and if you just kind of
  75. 2:48like reflect back over this last year on
  76. 2:50the different phases and how we're
  77. 2:51always trying to look forward. I'm never
  78. 2:53really trying to kind of like live in
  79. 2:55the moment of what's happening. I'm
  80. 2:56always trying to look to you know what's
  81. 2:58the next thing we can probably expect to
  82. 3:01happen in here. Like imagine being at
  83. 3:02the top right that the thoughts are hey
  84. 3:04we're going to enter into this bare
  85. 3:06market. There's going to be some
  86. 3:06liquidation anytime we see the 5day MACD
  87. 3:09start to cross. Historically, it always
  88. 3:11means this big liquidation comes next,
  89. 3:13right? Then what did we get? We got the
  90. 3:14October 10th liquidation. Boom. Then all
  91. 3:17of the larger time frame indicators
  92. 3:19said, "Hey, look, it looks like we're
  93. 3:20going to go into a bare market." So, we
  94. 3:22have to look at it through that lens of
  95. 3:23a bare market. Then we say, "Hey, look,
  96. 3:25we've gotten our way now down to the
  97. 3:26100week moving average. What
  98. 3:28historically comes next after we get to
  99. 3:30the 100week moving average?
  100. 3:32Historically, we're going to end up
  101. 3:34going into the capitulation of the
  102. 3:35market." So, we spent a long time
  103. 3:37talking about this market hasn't
  104. 3:38capitulated yet. there's probably going
  105. 3:40to be this capitulation. Then eventually
  106. 3:42we get the capitulation and then we say
  107. 3:43okay that's capitulation. Now let's look
  108. 3:45what happens to markets after this.
  109. 3:47Typically we range at the bottom. We
  110. 3:48have to do bottom building behavior.
  111. 3:50Here's the various things. Then we talk
  112. 3:52about hey you know technically we're
  113. 3:54going to see one more liquidation that
  114. 3:55happens at the market. In the market it
  115. 3:57doesn't always set a new low but here's
  116. 3:59what they can look like. Okay. Now that
  117. 4:01we've had the liquidation happen we can
  118. 4:03see the crashing structure. What tends
  119. 4:05to happen after the crashing structure
  120. 4:07happens? What tends to happen after
  121. 4:09we've already gone oversold? What's the
  122. 4:11next thing we can look for? That's going
  123. 4:12to be shifting our way back up to the
  124. 4:1450week moving average and then trying to
  125. 4:17see our breadth show back up like we
  126. 4:19historically do after we've already done
  127. 4:21all of the bottom behaviors and get back
  128. 4:23to the 50week moving average. We look
  129. 4:25for breadth. We get the breadth. Great.
  130. 4:27Now we've done everything that marks the
  131. 4:28bottom and it's like, okay, so what do
  132. 4:30we look for next? Right? Well, the next
  133. 4:32thing we all look for is like, okay, are
  134. 4:34we going to go to all-time highs right
  135. 4:35now? Right? And historically, we tend to
  136. 4:38have to build a new range at some point.
  137. 4:40And so that's what the the main focus
  138. 4:42for me has been has been like, okay,
  139. 4:44look, we we're looking good. Things are
  140. 4:46looking good. We've done all the things
  141. 4:47we need to for a bottom, but now we kind
  142. 4:49of get back to this area where we tend
  143. 4:51to try to kind of like range out for a
  144. 4:54little while. And where could that range
  145. 4:55start to build itself at? And that's
  146. 4:58where we're at, right? And like what the
  147. 5:00nice thing about it is that we just kind
  148. 5:01of keep getting these confirmations
  149. 5:02throughout the market to still signal,
  150. 5:04yeah, that bottom's behind us. I don't
  151. 5:05think Q and NT taken off like that after
  152. 5:08being rangebound for 4 and 1/2 years or
  153. 5:10four a little bit over four. Uh that's
  154. 5:12not something that happens if we haven't
  155. 5:14turned a corner in this market, right?
  156. 5:16And so like being a content creator in
  157. 5:18this space, I know it's like
  158. 5:20forwardlooking is like the worst thing
  159. 5:22you can do as a content creator. Even
  160. 5:24though everybody wants that, like they
  161. 5:25want to know what comes next, the thing
  162. 5:27that definitely gets the most clicks,
  163. 5:29the most engagement, and the most
  164. 5:30celebration is truly focusing on what is
  165. 5:33happening today. Hey, what is happening
  166. 5:34in this exact moment rather than
  167. 5:36forwardlooking. So talking about, you
  168. 5:38know, hey, we're probably going to end
  169. 5:39up ranging out here at some point is not
  170. 5:42the like the sexiest thing we could
  171. 5:44possibly talk about, but it's the most
  172. 5:45realistic thing to really be looking
  173. 5:47for. Frankly, I would not be surprised
  174. 5:49if we just keep climbing though and that
  175. 5:51our range boundary really all exists
  176. 5:54within here. But what we know is that we
  177. 5:57tend to always build a range after we
  178. 5:59get through the 50WE moving average,
  179. 6:01right? We go through things like the FTX
  180. 6:03collapse. We have the big push back to
  181. 6:05the 50we. We break out and then
  182. 6:06eventually some larger range ends up
  183. 6:08getting built. You know, 2018, 2019 was
  184. 6:11kind of its own monster. And I don't
  185. 6:13think we structurally have the same
  186. 6:15setup as we did back then because I was
  187. 6:17actually making YouTube content during
  188. 6:18all of this and explaining this that
  189. 6:21this is like wave four and we try to go
  190. 6:23for like a fifth wave, 4.236 extension,
  191. 6:25which is exactly what we hit on
  192. 6:27Bitcoin's market cap at the peak of
  193. 6:292021, right? Like I know it's hard to
  194. 6:31kind of reflect back that long ago and
  195. 6:33and not everybody who watches this
  196. 6:35channel was here during that time, but
  197. 6:36that this was a wave four to go hit that
  198. 6:394.236 extension on the market cap and
  199. 6:42why I received a lot of criticism at
  200. 6:44that time too while also calling the top
  201. 6:45of Bitcoin at that time. But what I see
  202. 6:47in the market today is not reflective of
  203. 6:49what we had happen back in here. And I
  204. 6:52don't necessarily even believe that what
  205. 6:53we see today is reflective of what we
  206. 6:55had back in 2023 either because of that
  207. 6:59large divergence that has happened
  208. 7:00between the crypto market and between
  209. 7:02macro markets where this huge separation
  210. 7:05exists between the two unlike what we
  211. 7:08had back there in 2023 where we were
  212. 7:10still woff accumulating down in here for
  213. 7:12the Russell 2000 and a lack of breadth
  214. 7:15throughout markets and that crypto was
  215. 7:17no different from that time and of
  216. 7:18course at that time Bitcoin was still
  217. 7:20stuck. uck underneath the real peak of
  218. 7:23the market fall that happened in here.
  219. 7:25And we I'm not going to go into too much
  220. 7:26detail about it cuz we've done that many
  221. 7:28times over the years that the true peak
  222. 7:30of the market for 2021 was back in here.
  223. 7:32Elon Musk, Wall Street Bets, Laserized
  224. 7:34Diamond Hands, and the true peak of our
  225. 7:36market for crypto this time around was
  226. 7:37back here in January of 2025. But that
  227. 7:40we were still struggling to even be able
  228. 7:42to get through that floor down in there,
  229. 7:44let alone even be able to get back up
  230. 7:46into that rally prior to capitulation.
  231. 7:49that that level would be a little bit
  232. 7:50lower than where we're at right now and
  233. 7:52that we're already exceeding above that
  234. 7:54as if we kind of broke out and that
  235. 7:55we're trying to kind of build a range a
  236. 7:57little bit higher. I think that that
  237. 7:59still to this day I think the most
  238. 8:00logical analogy to make of Bitcoin's
  239. 8:03current price action is really still the
  240. 8:06exact same modeling that we've been
  241. 8:07following for the last year and a half
  242. 8:09since February of last year in 2025 when
  243. 8:12we started creating this extreme top and
  244. 8:15then a massive bearish divergence to
  245. 8:17ultimately go into a major correction
  246. 8:19back to the low just like we did back in
  247. 8:21here or back to the previous high that
  248. 8:23all the discussions we've had in here
  249. 8:25were that we've already gone down and
  250. 8:26done the crashing structure throughout
  251. 8:27out here and that we're trying to regain
  252. 8:29steam. Similarly to after already being
  253. 8:32through all the worst, after shaking out
  254. 8:34the crowd and reducing sentiment and
  255. 8:36that what we're really trying to do
  256. 8:37throughout in here is just kind of stair
  257. 8:39step our way up, but that we will likely
  258. 8:43get stuck in that pre-capitulation
  259. 8:46rally or rally prior to capitulation
  260. 8:48range until we can really work this
  261. 8:51thing out and then eventually be able to
  262. 8:53get our way out. And so right now it
  263. 8:55seems more like a repericing event
  264. 8:57happening in the market. Everybody kind
  265. 8:58of waking up to being like, "Oh no, I'm
  266. 9:00off sides and a lot of capital's trying
  267. 9:02to get itself set up and poured back in
  268. 9:04at the right places throughout right
  269. 9:06now." But like I discussed kind of in
  270. 9:07heavy detail in the last video. It's
  271. 9:09that we we don't see any signs yet that
  272. 9:11this is like alt season. And I wrote
  273. 9:13about that in my last newsletter on
  274. 9:14being like, you know, when do all
  275. 9:16seasons historically show up? And we're
  276. 9:18typically going to see them like in
  277. 9:19expansion moments happening in the
  278. 9:20market. And right now this isn't one.
  279. 9:22This is like a repricing, a
  280. 9:23recalibration of the market happening.
  281. 9:25And we could see that in here by there
  282. 9:27being no separation happening between
  283. 9:29Bitcoin and between the altcoin market
  284. 9:31in general. And you can see that here
  285. 9:33too if we just put Bitcoin right next to
  286. 9:35total 2 or the altcoin market which
  287. 9:37excludes Bitcoin to see where we are.
  288. 9:40Here's the rally prior to capitulation.
  289. 9:42Here's the rally prior to capitulation.
  290. 9:44We're just kind of moving in lock step.
  291. 9:46The whole thing is kind of moving with a
  292. 9:47repricing event for the whole market. So
  293. 9:49it tells me that this is still probably
  294. 9:52the most likely thing happening in the
  295. 9:54market currently right now is that this
  296. 9:56is all of our repricing happening in the
  297. 9:59market. Then our ranging through here
  298. 10:01and then we prove that we can escape
  299. 10:03from this range and then try to go stab
  300. 10:05up there at the all-time highs and then
  301. 10:07once we can get an actual expansion,
  302. 10:09that would be where we see the
  303. 10:10decimation of the Bitcoin dominance in
  304. 10:12here. Uh my thoughts are that the peak
  305. 10:14of the altcoin market probably comes in
  306. 10:16right there, right when we get to about
  307. 10:1735% Bitcoin dominance. But we've just
  308. 10:20got to kind of work through all of these
  309. 10:21separate phases first before we can get
  310. 10:23there. And that's okay. Step one, look
  311. 10:26for bare market. Step two, understand we
  312. 10:28haven't seen capitulation. Step three,
  313. 10:30acknowledge that we've seen
  314. 10:31capitulation. We're trying to do bottom
  315. 10:33building formations. Step four,
  316. 10:35acknowledge everything has already
  317. 10:37happened and now we just need the last
  318. 10:38confirmations of bullish divergences on
  319. 10:41weekly relative strength indexes and
  320. 10:43MACD's. Step five, get the breadth to
  321. 10:46open, get the 50week moving average to
  322. 10:49break. Step six, go through the wall of
  323. 10:52worry and try to determine where could
  324. 10:54those problem areas be during a wall of
  325. 10:57worry. And then after we get through all
  326. 10:59of that, step seven, expansion. And with
  327. 11:01that is typically where we see alt
  328. 11:03season and we see the Bitcoin dominance
  329. 11:05collapse. So right now we're in the step
  330. 11:07where we're in the wall of worry
  331. 11:08acknowledging that ranges do build. But
  332. 11:10the thing that I kept harping on over
  333. 11:12the past several weeks and months is
  334. 11:14that whole conviction thing. Because
  335. 11:16once we enter into those things, all of
  336. 11:18this excitement, all of this greed, all
  337. 11:20of these happy golucky feelings that we
  338. 11:22have, which we knew would return, they
  339. 11:25start to fade once you get stuck in a
  340. 11:27range for a little while. Pessimism
  341. 11:29returns. all that negative content
  342. 11:31returns. influencers start like hedging
  343. 11:34their calls and saying I don't know I
  344. 11:36don't know this could happen that could
  345. 11:37happen this could everybody starts kind
  346. 11:38of hedging themselves and it creates a
  347. 11:40lot of doubt a lot of doubt everywhere
  348. 11:42um there won't be any doubt here
  349. 11:44convictionwise you don't do these types
  350. 11:46of things without the bottom of the
  351. 11:47market already being behind us any type
  352. 11:49of corrections from here on out or
  353. 11:51considered opportunities but I think
  354. 11:53what will be more interesting will be to
  355. 11:55see is if you know we still have a
  356. 11:56little bit of a climb to do in here to
  357. 11:58get back up to the upper bound of that
  358. 12:00range and how much more of these
  359. 12:02altcoins can really push at this point.
  360. 12:04Um, I do think really the whole market
  361. 12:07would cool off in that type of event.
  362. 12:09And historically, this is usually just a
  363. 12:12Bitcoin only event and people kind of
  364. 12:14start screaming at the altcoins, why
  365. 12:16aren't we moving? Why aren't we moving?
  366. 12:18Uh, and then the second that thing gets
  367. 12:20cleared, that's where all those altcoins
  368. 12:22wake up and that you see moves kind of
  369. 12:24like what you just saw with Q&T, but you
  370. 12:26see them more broad-based. So, I do
  371. 12:28think we're still within this altcoin
  372. 12:30reprising, kind of the reccalibration of
  373. 12:32the market of the 40 to 50k calls.
  374. 12:35Eventually, we'll cool down for a little
  375. 12:36while and then it'll probably become the
  376. 12:38Bitcoin only show as it tries to go back
  377. 12:41for the all-time high. Uh, but if the
  378. 12:43all-time high can get cleared, uh,
  379. 12:45historically, at this point in time, the
  380. 12:48focus of this market is no longer
  381. 12:50Bitcoin anymore outside of the Bitcoin
  382. 12:52maxis, they will just scream about it.
  383. 12:54uh but these are the type of times where
  384. 12:56the tweets on things like you know XRP
  385. 12:59it is time you may send that's where
  386. 13:01those types of tweets get made. I also
  387. 13:03think that will happen in conjunction
  388. 13:04with macro markets at the same time
  389. 13:06specifically with IGV and I am also like
  390. 13:10on edge because I just think you know
  391. 13:12there's there's a likelihood that this
  392. 13:13thing is still going to keep ranging
  393. 13:15throughout here and it would make sense
  394. 13:17that Bitcoin does have that style of
  395. 13:19ranging behavior throughout here in the
  396. 13:22event that we do see more ranging take
  397. 13:24place in the IGV because my best guess
  398. 13:26on timing on when we're going to see
  399. 13:28Bitcoin break out is going to be with
  400. 13:30macro markets at the exact exact same
  401. 13:32time. If you've watched this channel for
  402. 13:34a long time, I've always held that
  403. 13:36belief and that's because the data has
  404. 13:38always supported it. And then back there
  405. 13:40in 2024 when the market started ripping
  406. 13:42and XRP, it is time you may send that it
  407. 13:45was all incorporating in macro at the
  408. 13:47exact same time. It was not a
  409. 13:49coincidence that it occurred when it
  410. 13:51happened. There was the big picture all
  411. 13:53tied together. There was no secrets upon
  412. 13:55secrets. There was no secret secret
  413. 13:57ledgers or bank things or ISO200022
  414. 14:01or Fed buybacks or special liquidity
  415. 14:03operations or anything like that. It it
  416. 14:05was really just this big picture. And so
  417. 14:07I'm not so certain this big picture has
  418. 14:09cleared itself up yet. Um, but what I
  419. 14:12can absolutely see on the chart of
  420. 14:14course and that we've monitored this
  421. 14:15whole time has been that we got a nice
  422. 14:17lead here on the IGV to get back up into
  423. 14:20these retracement levels and to get
  424. 14:22ourselves back into this rally prior to
  425. 14:25capitulation and that we've now been
  426. 14:27ranged out within that rally prior to
  427. 14:29capitulation in here and that it makes
  428. 14:31sense that Bitcoin also let me let me
  429. 14:33take all this off here that Bitcoin also
  430. 14:35is trying to get back within that same
  431. 14:38range and that we're working that stuff
  432. 14:40out do. So, it's exciting to see the
  433. 14:43divergence start to close itself between
  434. 14:45the IGV and between the crypto market.
  435. 14:47And but those were things that we
  436. 14:48acknowledged way ahead of time saying
  437. 14:50this market's uh diverging. And a lot of
  438. 14:52times what happens with uh crypton
  439. 14:54natives or just investors in general is
  440. 14:56they look at those divergences and think
  441. 14:57to themselves something's wrong,
  442. 14:59something's broken. But usually what it
  443. 15:00means is we have to recalibrate and we
  444. 15:02have to get back in lock step with what
  445. 15:04typically matters. And a lot of times
  446. 15:06what really matters in this market is
  447. 15:07macro. And so we're starting to see
  448. 15:09ourselves start to catch back up in
  449. 15:10there. But you can even see it in there
  450. 15:12that even the IGV it's really stuck
  451. 15:13within that range. And it's only natural
  452. 15:16for that precapitulation
  453. 15:18range to provide some type of problems
  454. 15:21throughout in here which is where we are
  455. 15:23right in now. So you know those are just
  456. 15:24things I have to think about when I'm
  457. 15:25looking out towards the future. Are we
  458. 15:27past the bottom? History says yes. You
  459. 15:29don't have a single historical example
  460. 15:31to look at to imply we're not beyond the
  461. 15:34bottom. the things we look forward to is
  462. 15:35to saying, "All right, when is alt
  463. 15:37season going to start? When are we going
  464. 15:38to break into new all-time highs and
  465. 15:40what are the things that kind of stand
  466. 15:41as roadblocks in our way before we can
  467. 15:43get there?" And our current roadblocks
  468. 15:45right now is going to be that range,
  469. 15:46which is the range that macro markets
  470. 15:48are dealing with at the same time. But
  471. 15:50when we think about those, I'm always
  472. 15:52trying to like lay the foundation and
  473. 15:53kind of like emotionally prepare people
  474. 15:55is that if there's a correction within
  475. 15:57this range, which there's typically
  476. 15:59always some type of long liquidation
  477. 16:01that happens and we get headlines, $2
  478. 16:02billion liquidated from the crypto
  479. 16:04market in 5 seconds and it's like, okay,
  480. 16:07good. The leverage has been wiped out of
  481. 16:08the system at this point and that when
  482. 16:10we have that happen and especially when
  483. 16:12we're beyond the 50week moving average,
  484. 16:14they're historically opportunities,
  485. 16:16right? So, it's a very exciting time of
  486. 16:19the market because yeah, prices are up,
  487. 16:21but people who were grabbing in
  488. 16:22February, people who are grabbing there
  489. 16:24in June and July and August, they're all
  490. 16:26reaping their rewards. Uh, we all enjoy
  491. 16:28seeing green candles show up on the
  492. 16:30screen, of course. And I I kind of joked
  493. 16:32about being like a wet blanket in my
  494. 16:34last video because who wants to be the
  495. 16:35downer when there's like green candles
  496. 16:37to say, "Hey, we'll probably range out.
  497. 16:38People will probably get scared again at
  498. 16:40some point." And but the thing is like
  499. 16:42when we get to those moments I I get so
  500. 16:44repetitive and people always comment on
  501. 16:46that and I understand it and I know I'm
  502. 16:48doing it when I'm doing it and but then
  503. 16:50when those moments come when those
  504. 16:51significant moments come and it's like
  505. 16:53dude I heard about this like 30 times.
  506. 16:56It's that split-second decision where
  507. 16:58you're you're like questioning things
  508. 17:00and you have this like crazy thought run
  509. 17:01through your head and you reflect back
  510. 17:03on man this was beaten down in my head
  511. 17:05so many times that it like saves the
  512. 17:07day. And so for me, the only thing I
  513. 17:09really care about in this market is when
  514. 17:11we can actually get into expansion, when
  515. 17:12we can get into alt season. Otherwise,
  516. 17:14it's a a hold on for dear life market.
  517. 17:17For me, it's a, you know, strengthening
  518. 17:19my conviction part of the market cycle
  519. 17:21because what we haven't seen yet, and
  520. 17:23you have to think about this, too, what
  521. 17:24we haven't seen is any type of
  522. 17:25correction yet, right? The last time we
  523. 17:27had a correction, everybody was calling
  524. 17:29for lower and so we don't know how the
  525. 17:31crowd sentiment is going to be during
  526. 17:32the next the next correction that comes
  527. 17:34up. And you're fooling yourself to think
  528. 17:36there won't ever be one. but there will
  529. 17:38and then the crowd sentiment will swap.
  530. 17:41And so it's about kind of being prepared
  531. 17:42for that moment. So I'm not trying to be
  532. 17:44a wet blanket and be like, "Hey, we're
  533. 17:45going to correct. Watch out." It's,
  534. 17:47"Hey, whenever we do correct, be mindful
  535. 17:49that the crowd sentiment is going to be
  536. 17:51really bad." But you have to look at the
  537. 17:53really big picture of everything and say
  538. 17:55anytime these things historically
  539. 17:56happen, we're beyond the bottom.
  540. 17:58Remember when we were looking at onchain
  541. 18:00data, trying to isolate the bottom? We
  542. 18:02were like, "Okay, Bitcoin has now hit
  543. 18:0410.8 million coins in a loss." Look at
  544. 18:06this thing. I mean it went all the way
  545. 18:07down to 4 million in loss. Like this is
  546. 18:09what happens when the market has
  547. 18:10reversed, right? So corrections do
  548. 18:12eventually come. But when we get beyond
  549. 18:14these things on chain, when we get
  550. 18:15beyond these things with technical
  551. 18:16indicators, whenever the breadth has
  552. 18:18already opened and we're we're seeing
  553. 18:20just random firing off happening
  554. 18:22throughout the altcoin market, right? It
  555. 18:24has signified the bottom is behind us
  556. 18:25and corrections are opportunities
  557. 18:27throughout the market. So corrections
  558. 18:28will come. We're going to get near a
  559. 18:30range here pretty soon where one could
  560. 18:31really develop. I think it's reasonable
  561. 18:33that we, you know, we could march higher
  562. 18:35before that range really kind of sets in
  563. 18:37for a longer period, but I do also
  564. 18:39think, right, bring that optimism after
  565. 18:41talking about a range eventually
  566. 18:42building. I do think we're going to
  567. 18:44recover in this market faster than
  568. 18:46anyone has seen in the past and the
  569. 18:48four-year cycles and expecting that it's
  570. 18:50going to take, you know, still two years
  571. 18:52from this moment. I just don't think
  572. 18:53it's going to because of macro. I think
  573. 18:55it there's just there's no way to me
  574. 18:57this is going to take two years to be
  575. 18:59able to break out into an all-time high.
  576. 19:01And I know you guys love time
  577. 19:02predictions, but I I also think that a
  578. 19:04lot of people are having a really hard
  579. 19:06time wrapping their head around this
  580. 19:07market and how it's operating, right?
  581. 19:08You got the 10-year yield sitting at the
  582. 19:10highest it's been in 20 years, right?
  583. 19:12You got oil prices skyrocketing, you
  584. 19:14know, diesel prices, right? Like people
  585. 19:16are having a very hard time wrapping
  586. 19:18their head around this market because
  587. 19:19they're trying to like incorporate in
  588. 19:21things that happened in 2013, 2017, and
  589. 19:242021 into this market thinking, hey,
  590. 19:26this is not how cycles are supposed to
  591. 19:27behave, right? We're supposed to see
  592. 19:29these expansions. were supposed to sue
  593. 19:30like certain things happening with the
  594. 19:32Fed and all this stuff. And and I've
  595. 19:33kept proposing that, you know, the
  596. 19:35reason 2023 through 2025 was so wonky is
  597. 19:39because there was an absence of breadth
  598. 19:40throughout markets. And that what
  599. 19:42happens is we see a consolidation of
  600. 19:44breadth into mega caps happen when
  601. 19:46you're producing a bubble in markets.
  602. 19:48and that this is not going to be like an
  603. 19:50expansionary top, but more like a
  604. 19:52rotating top happening in the markets
  605. 19:54where capital is more so just slloshing
  606. 19:56around and that crypto is going to have
  607. 19:58its turn to go flying to the upside and
  608. 20:00it won't look like your 2013, 2017 or
  609. 20:032021 models. And I certainly don't think
  610. 20:05it'll look like what we saw in 2025
  611. 20:07where there was no breadth in these
  612. 20:09markets because typically what you see
  613. 20:11in bubbles when all the money
  614. 20:13consolidates into the largest capped
  615. 20:15assets within the asset class and then
  616. 20:17when the bubble starts reaching its peak
  617. 20:19which everybody's worried about now with
  618. 20:21that 10-year and with diesel and
  619. 20:22inflation and the Fed raising rates if
  620. 20:24it is the true peak we're typically
  621. 20:26going to see some type of rotation of
  622. 20:28capital happen and it's going to chase
  623. 20:30other things and that is why this is not
  624. 20:32the same. And I I spent a lot of time
  625. 20:34harping on it in 2023, 2024, and 2025
  626. 20:37that this is very symbolic of what
  627. 20:39happens in euphoric bubbles that are
  628. 20:41being printed where all the money
  629. 20:43allocates itself into the mega caps and
  630. 20:45the breadth completely collapses in
  631. 20:47markets. And a way to think about that
  632. 20:49is like Bitcoin back in 2017. And I know
  633. 20:52so so few of you have that reference
  634. 20:54point to think about, but like what we
  635. 20:56saw happen in the cryptocurrency market
  636. 20:57is that, you know, Bitcoin goes and
  637. 20:59breaks into its all-time high over in
  638. 21:01here and actually goes into an
  639. 21:03expansion. And like a thing to think
  640. 21:05about is like with XRP, right? So it
  641. 21:07gets into an expansion and XRP goes
  642. 21:10moonshots and breaks through its
  643. 21:12all-time high, right? As the expansion
  644. 21:14is actually taking place, this is where
  645. 21:16XRP can finally clear through its
  646. 21:18all-time high and go into a bull run,
  647. 21:20right? and it goes from, you know, a
  648. 21:21half of a cent to, you know, 38 cents.
  649. 21:24But then what happens from here and for
  650. 21:25the rest of 2017, right? This is like
  651. 21:28the first alt season. Then Bitcoin keeps
  652. 21:30going. All the capital gets sucked into
  653. 21:33Bitcoin as XRP tops over here, you know,
  654. 21:3638. The capital gets absolutely sucked
  655. 21:39into Bitcoin and it continues here from,
  656. 21:41you know, $2,000 all the way up to, you
  657. 21:44know, $17,000.
  658. 21:46And then we enter into a rotating top
  659. 21:49and the money starts to shift over there
  660. 21:51into the altcoin market. And so it's not
  661. 21:53unusual to see these types of bubbles
  662. 21:54get printed where the capital gets
  663. 21:56siphoned into the mega caps, which is
  664. 21:58what happened in macro markets that it
  665. 22:00was only the mega caps sucking in all
  666. 22:03the capital while we couldn't get it
  667. 22:05down in here. And so I don't know the
  668. 22:06point of this really long ramble is this
  669. 22:08video is already way too long already is
  670. 22:09to say I don't think it's going to take
  671. 22:11as long as what we've seen in past
  672. 22:13cycles. And I think everybody's having
  673. 22:14their a hard time wrapping their head
  674. 22:16around this stuff because they're
  675. 22:17looking at 10-year yields. They're
  676. 22:18looking at diesel prices. They're
  677. 22:20looking at Fed future rate hikes.
  678. 22:22They're looking at this way, that way. I
  679. 22:23wonder why won't it look like 2013,
  680. 22:252017, 2021? Why did 2025 look so
  681. 22:28different? And I I just think that they
  682. 22:30haven't studied bubbles and yeah, all
  683. 22:33that stuff of the, you know, inflation
  684. 22:35and diesel prices and the Fed and
  685. 22:3710-year yields, they are probably
  686. 22:39signaling long-term problems. But what
  687. 22:42happens is when we get to these peaks of
  688. 22:45these markets, which can lead to 20-year
  689. 22:47long bare markets, there's usually a lot
  690. 22:49of nutty behavior that happens at the
  691. 22:51top of them. And that's been my theory
  692. 22:53all along. And so, I don't think anybody
  693. 22:55who's looking for a clean expansion of
  694. 22:57the Russell and the NASDAQ and pretty
  695. 22:59happy golucky stuff is going to get what
  696. 23:01they're looking for. Their modeling is
  697. 23:03going to get them. They're going to have
  698. 23:04to think abstractly and think about
  699. 23:06bubbles and and that's what we've been
  700. 23:07doing on this channel. So, I don't want
  701. 23:09to sit here and say we're going to go
  702. 23:10much higher. we're going to do it a lot
  703. 23:12faster because of um no it's a
  704. 23:14long-standing thesis that I've had that
  705. 23:16I don't think most people have
  706. 23:18acknowledged and I don't think it's what
  707. 23:20people recognize at the peak of the
  708. 23:21market in 2024 and 2025 is that the
  709. 23:24breadth was completely dead and the
  710. 23:26reason that happens is because it
  711. 23:28happens when bubbles are being printed
  712. 23:30and when bubbles are being printed
  713. 23:31especially that magnitude where you see
  714. 23:33the capital get all siphoned into the
  715. 23:34mega caps there tends to be a rotation
  716. 23:36that happens at the end of that and I do
  717. 23:38think we will be recipients of that and
  718. 23:40I think it'll happen much faster than 2
  719. 23:42years from right now. And the pace we're
  720. 23:44going at currently right now tells me
  721. 23:45that's true, too. So, we have two
  722. 23:47consecutive weeks of continuing to close
  723. 23:49higher above the 50week moving average.
  724. 23:52Corrections will eventually come. Crowd
  725. 23:54sentiment will change eventually.
  726. 23:56However, our mindsets will be this is
  727. 23:59what we always expect to happen at this
  728. 24:01phase of the market. beyond
  729. 24:03capitulation, beyond crashing final
  730. 24:05liquidations, beyond breaking through
  731. 24:08the 50week moving average with the daily
  732. 24:10breadth finally opening corrections
  733. 24:12historically are opportunities once we
  734. 24:14get to these phases and we're just not
  735. 24:15going to be blind to the idea that they
  736. 24:17will eventually come. But I mean, in the
  737. 24:19meantime, what is there to do except sit
  738. 24:21there and kind of enjoy the green
  739. 24:22candles as they show up? For me, there's
  740. 24:24no action to take here right now except
  741. 24:26hold on for dear life. And that's just
  742. 24:28what I'm going to continue to do. So
  743. 24:30until we start seeing some like really
  744. 24:32obvious signs of a correction or
  745. 24:34something like that, that'll just kind
  746. 24:35of be the thing that we're in right now.
  747. 24:37Hey, things continue to march up. They
  748. 24:39look good. Corrections will probably
  749. 24:40come. We're looking for signs of them. I
  750. 24:42don't personally see any obvious signs
  751. 24:44right now. So until I do, I'll point
  752. 24:48them out. Otherwise, they it just looks
  753. 24:50fine. So hopefully you're doing well in
  754. 24:52this market, and we'll just kind of keep
  755. 24:53taking the punches as they come. But
  756. 24:55otherwise, I hope that you had an
  757. 24:56absolutely wonderful weekend. Um, I've
  758. 24:58been working on the next newsletter.
  759. 25:00It'll be published there on Wednesday.

  761. 25:04meantime, of course, you can check out

  765. 25:10past ones as well. I do audio record all
  766. 25:13of these after they're put together. The
  767. 25:15last one was talking about the altcoin
  768. 25:16leaders. Really kind of comparing the
  769. 25:18different stuff between developer
  770. 25:19activity, utility, percentage draw
  771. 25:21downs, top 20 by market cap, and
  772. 25:23blockchains that when there's token
  773. 25:24demand, it leads to value acrruel. and
  774. 25:27which tokens those are from the top 50
  775. 25:28that do that. There's a link down here
  776. 25:30in the description of this video to the
