XRP is Behaving Right on Schedule as the Bitcoin Price Chart and Altcoin Market Anticipate Macro — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:13Hey, what's going on everybody? This is
- 0:16the Blockchain Backer bringing you the
- 0:19latest cryptocurrency news and analysis.
- 0:22Today we'll be taking a look over here
- 0:23at the total market cap of the
- 0:24cryptocurrency market along with the
- 0:26Bitcoin price chart as we sit at 81,400
- 0:29as I'm recording this morning while XRP
- 0:31sits at a$131. And we all sit here kind
- 0:34of twiddling our thumbs on what the next
- 0:36move is for Bitcoin after coming off the
- 0:38low there back in June, July into
- 0:40August. Prices pushing back above the
- 0:42May highs over here now. Just waddling,
- 0:45hey, will this be kind of short-lived?
- 0:47Will we step higher? try to get
- 0:48ourselves back into this
- 0:49pre-capitulation range and then maybe
- 0:51get stuck there for a little time. We'll
- 0:53kind of correct from where we are right
- 0:55now after ricocheting off the lows like
- 0:57we expected to happen here in August.
- 0:59It's all kind of a guessing game with us
- 1:01sitting here just kind of waiting for a
- 1:02little bit over a month now as we
- 1:04entered into this ranging area on
- 1:06September 20th. As I've mentioned
- 1:08throughout the videos of the last
- 1:09several months, conviction is going to
- 1:11matter here. For me, conviction is
- 1:12simply that we are beyond the bottom by
- 1:15every measurement imaginable. I think
- 1:17the last thing people were holding on to
- 1:19was to say, "Hey, will the new low come
- 1:21in September? Will it come on October
- 1:2310th or will we have a Black Monday
- 1:25event happen earlier this week?" The
- 1:27market's all just on edge. Everybody's
- 1:29real wishy-washy. Meanwhile, of course,
- 1:31we still sit here above the moving
- 1:33averages really teetering right there at
- 1:35that 50-day. However, of course, our
- 1:37100, 200, and 300 all sit well below
- 1:40just like we did back here back in 2023.
- 1:43coming off those lows. The breadth had
- 1:45finally opened for the market for the
- 1:46first time to break through these moving
- 1:48averages, but still, you know, we had to
- 1:50test some of this stuff and that's still
- 1:52up in the air. But of course, we've seen
- 1:53our breadth all open up in here. And
- 1:55that's just kind of the broader context
- 1:56of where we're at. And the image I've
- 1:58tried to paint for the last several
- 2:00weeks has been this is all the typical
- 2:01stuff that we do when we come off the
- 2:03lows. I think if people try to kind of
- 2:04get ahead of themselves a little bit and
- 2:06think, hey, finally there's some
- 2:08positive price action. The mood has
- 2:10changed. That means we go to the moon
- 2:12immediately but usually we work out a
- 2:14couple of steps. It's going to be some
- 2:16ranging action happen for quite some
- 2:18time. Major debate on will it happen
- 2:20from here? Will it happen from within
- 2:21this range? And then we just have to
- 2:23wait for most likely if we go based on
- 2:26how this market has behaved for the last
- 2:285 years being tied to this IGV seeing
- 2:30the tech software sector be able to
- 2:32catch a bid and break out potentially a
- 2:34rotation happening there from the United
- 2:36States stock market. And based on how
- 2:38this price action has behaved for the
- 2:40last several years, right, this is
- 2:41probably going to catch some type of
- 2:43lead first. And we don't have any signs
- 2:45from it yet that it's ready to do it yet
- 2:47or that ranging will still continue
- 2:49throughout in here before it can do it.
- 2:51And but usually before we can get
- 2:52extremely excited, we need to see
- 2:54something like this show up in macro
- 2:56markets first. Then we look to Bitcoin
- 2:58to say, "Let's go." And then we look to
- 3:00the altcoin market after that to say,
- 3:01"It's time to rock and roll." Till then,
- 3:03we're still just going to be kind of
- 3:04stuck in this waiting game to see if
- 3:06there's still one more push up or does
- 3:08the broader range develop from where
- 3:09we're at right now. Really, every week I
- 3:11come on here and I say, "Well, hopefully
- 3:12we can find our answer and there's
- 3:14something incredibly obvious to show
- 3:15up." Uh, but now this has been two whole
- 3:18weeks and still it just still continues
- 3:19to sit in there. We've technically been
- 3:21in this range right in here for 16 days,
- 3:24just going up and down to the top and
- 3:26bottom of it. So, that's been kind of
- 3:27our story. And so I apologize for things
- 3:30kind of sounding repetitive, but it's
- 3:31hard when obviously we just get stuck.
- 3:33However, when we look at things from the
- 3:34context of like XRP over the course of
- 3:37an entire bare market and where we're
- 3:38at, it's kind of crazy to think that,
- 3:40you know, we've really been tracking
- 3:41this stuff for quite some time over in
- 3:43here. Then we go into our capitulation
- 3:45event. We know that accumulation
- 3:47schematics can act very different, but
- 3:48then we do get our onchain signals, our
- 3:50Bitcoin signals, everything to point to
- 3:53that being the low. However, of course,
- 3:54we're all looking for things to pop up
- 3:56higher and escape from here. relieve the
- 3:58XRP community from the depths of
- 4:00despair. However, it's acting really
- 4:02just exactly like how you would expect
- 4:04at a low. We can see timewise, usually
- 4:07these things last an equivalent like in
- 4:10in current times, the amount of time it
- 4:12lasts would maybe December to be able to
- 4:14see a pop out of here. I'm terrible at
- 4:16predicting time. Don't expect me to be
- 4:18able to predict time. But for those who
- 4:20are thinking, oh, things are acting
- 4:21differently or uh if you're feeling
- 4:23incredibly beaten down by the market,
- 4:25just know that's what markets do, right?
- 4:27Markets have a tendency to create a lot
- 4:29of excitement and everybody singing
- 4:31kumbaya, holding hands, playing oh, pump
- 4:33it up. It's a dopamine rush. And then at
- 4:36the same time, markets have a tendency
- 4:37to beat the crowd down. Whether that's
- 4:40from fear and panic of prices falling
- 4:42really hard or from prices just drawing
- 4:45out for an extended period of time. The
- 4:47depths that we've seen the prices this
- 4:48chart fall to are in no way out of
- 4:51historical norms. And if anything, it's
- 4:53been one of the more shallow bare
- 4:55markets that we've seen for XRP. And the
- 4:57amount of time spent here in the
- 4:59accumulation schematic is no different
- 5:01than anything we've ever seen. But
- 5:03structurally, it even looks like what
- 5:05you would kind of expect to see at a
- 5:07low. We can look at Bitcoin back here in
- 5:092022 and what the bottom of the market
- 5:12looked like. But you'll notice too that
- 5:14price ricochets back to the resistance
- 5:16just as we've seen over here for XRP in
- 5:202026. Then there becomes a stall out to
- 5:22attempt to try to break that range and
- 5:24then build a new range boundary which
- 5:26conceptually are the same ideas that we
- 5:28talk about in here that we build a range
- 5:30you break from a range and then you make
- 5:32a new range boundary. These are just
- 5:34common concepts of climbing a wall of
- 5:37worry and stairstepping your way up and
- 5:39the price action that we're seeing and
- 5:40how it's behaving is no different than
- 5:42what we typically see. kind of have to
- 5:44be a flashback for those remembering
- 5:46what the crashing structure looks like.
- 5:48But a lot of times we'll see a crashing
- 5:49structure like this. One, two, three,
- 5:51four, and rolls back up to wave four
- 5:53within wave five crashes and then we see
- 5:56an ABC show up in here. Whether this
- 5:59ends up being a running flat or a true
- 6:01classic ABC correction, that would be
- 6:05exactly what we have happening here
- 6:07after going through our full-blown
- 6:09crashing structure. wave four within
- 6:10wave five, the final low right back up
- 6:13to the resistance and then kind of the
- 6:15stall out with an ABC in here. Uh it'll
- 6:18be difficult to know will it wick down
- 6:20lower in here like we did over in here
- 6:21for Bitcoin back in 2023 where there's
- 6:24kind of like a a panic button hit there
- 6:26for the market. Everybody freaks out and
- 6:28then whoop right back up and finally we
- 6:30escape that range and build on top of
- 6:32the of the new range boundary. XRP has
- 6:34done this many times in the past and
- 6:36I've often referenced this chart right
- 6:38in here for a crashing structure and
- 6:39what a bottoming formation looks like
- 6:41when teaching the crashing structure
- 6:43whether here on the YouTube channel of
- 6:44course that all of this is our classic
- 6:47crashing structure wave four within wave
- 6:50five there's our new low and then we
- 6:51push back to the resistance level and
- 6:53then you ABC and this is just the
- 6:56classic thing that happens in here after
- 6:58getting back to that resistance and then
- 7:00what happens we build a support on top
- 7:02of that area to then be able to
- 7:05eventually go higher, right? And that's
- 7:06what we're talking about in here, that
- 7:08we usually tend to go back to the top of
- 7:10this range, right? Build a support,
- 7:12break from it, and then build a new
- 7:14range after that. And that this price
- 7:16action that we see in here is no
- 7:17different than what we typically do see.
- 7:19I do get it. After time, people
- 7:21emotionally do tend to get a little bit
- 7:23exhausted. That's what markets do. They
- 7:25create a lot of excitement, a lot of
- 7:27euphoria, a lot of dopamine rushes, and
- 7:30then of course it takes all of that away
- 7:31and people start losing their faith.
- 7:33Their thesises start to fade and that's
- 7:35just due to price action and due to
- 7:37time. However, the market's acting
- 7:39exactly as you would expect and nothing
- 7:41in here is unique to any other time
- 7:44period that we've had in the past. That
- 7:46this is precisely what we've seen happen
- 7:48in multiple cycles. And the price
- 7:50behavior is really right on par for what
- 7:52you would expect for a low. And given
- 7:54enough time, I do think at some point in
- 7:562026, we'll see this range get left.
- 7:58We'll start building a new range on top
- 8:00of here. Maybe it'll end up being a
- 8:02Christmas rally to do it right there at
- 8:04the end of the year. Very hard to
- 8:05predict time, but certainly what we're
- 8:06seeing happen in here is not unique to
- 8:08any other time period, nor is it unique
- 8:10to any type of recovery structure. And
- 8:12exactly what we see happen all the time.
- 8:14But we're still just left in a waiting
- 8:15game for the entire picture when it
- 8:17comes to the bigger context of when can
- 8:19we see expansions, when can we see all
- 8:21seasons. Because for me, yeah, shifting
- 8:22up in a range for XRP is cool and all.
- 8:25Like, it's not still not an action zone
- 8:27for me, right? If we shift up higher,
- 8:29it's not like I'm buying in there. It's
- 8:31not like I'm selling in there. Of
- 8:32course, I'm waiting for the market
- 8:33conditions to be favorable for an
- 8:35explosive move to happen in the
- 8:36cryptocurrency market for like a real
- 8:38alt season to come out. And so a lot of
- 8:40it's still going to depend on paying
- 8:41attention to Bitcoin to see, you know,
- 8:43how can we establish a range, when can
- 8:45we get the IGV to break out, and then
- 8:47how can we see those series of events
- 8:49transpire that we typically see where we
- 8:51see macro do something, then we end up
- 8:53seeing Bitcoin do something, and then at
- 8:55the end we see the altcoin market follow
- 8:57right along. And I've shown examples of
- 8:58that in my last several videos. And so
- 9:00it's more of just a patience game,
- 9:02waiting for the elements of the market
- 9:04to kind of manifest themselves, digest,
- 9:06get all set. I think a move like this
- 9:08and escaping from this range will
- 9:09obviously relieve a lot of sentiment
- 9:12that's happening out there in the
- 9:13cryptocurrency market. But still, we're
- 9:15going to be waiting on that bigger
- 9:16moment where we have macro Bitcoin and
- 9:18then the altcoin market expansion. And
- 9:20those typically take a few phases to
- 9:21play out first, which I've explained in
- 9:23the last couple of videos and of course
- 9:25went into depths in the newsletters. So,
- 9:27another week where we just kind of get
- 9:28stuck here in the crypto market, but
- 9:30certainly nothing unusual happening. And
- 9:33I think that's the big takeaway from all
- 9:35of it. We spent, you know, weeks leading
- 9:36up to all this saying conviction is
- 9:38going to matter. The best thing I can do
- 9:39for you here is to say, look, none of
- 9:41that stuff has changed when it comes to
- 9:42the bottom. The conviction, people are
- 9:44going to get wobbly. There's low
- 9:45conviction capital that had to enter
- 9:47after getting wrongfooted at the bottom.
- 9:49But certainly, the market is still right
- 9:50on queue. Everything looks fine. And uh
- 9:52prepare for ranges, prepare for the wall
- 9:54of worry, prepare for stairstepping. And
- 9:57that will be kind of our story until we
- 9:59get the elements to play out where we
- 10:01can see some type of expansion happen
- 10:03like we saw back in late 2024, right?
- 10:05Extra period is time you may send. We
- 10:07had the exact formula lined up that that
- 10:10marks those moments when that happens.
- 10:12And what was that formula? It was macro
- 10:14and then that was Bitcoin. And when
- 10:16those two things were happening
- 10:17simultaneously, it just is what always
- 10:20happens next in crypto. It's not hype.
- 10:22It's just a historical data set that we
- 10:24have that shows how the market tends to
- 10:26operate. And so for our historical data
- 10:28set, we are following right on track of
- 10:30what a bottom looks like, what a
- 10:32recovery looks like, how the sentiment
- 10:33is really washy when we go into the wall
- 10:35over a climb. But ultimately, we are
- 10:38looking for some other elements to show
- 10:39up for us to scream alt season, right?
- 10:42And so that's the kind of focus what
- 10:43we're at. We're looking for more
- 10:44development to happen. And with us stuck
- 10:46here since September 20th, we're just
- 10:47waiting for at least some type of new
- 10:49price action to be able to play out.
- 10:51Now, if you caught markets in the
- 10:52morning, I mentioned there will not be a
- 10:53markets in the morning next week. There
- 10:55also won't be videos next week because
- 10:57every year I go to two to three
- 10:58conferences to get my feet on the
- 11:00ground. It's very easy to be a keyboard
- 11:02warrior over there on X or Twitter. Uh
- 11:04but it's a different story to get there
- 11:06in person, shake hands, talk to people,
- 11:08get a real sense of what's going on in
- 11:10the crypto market. You can become very
- 11:12convinced of false realities if your
- 11:14entire reality is painted to you on
- 11:16YouTube or on X. So I tend to do these
- 11:18every year. I haven't been to one in a
- 11:19while. The last one was XRP Las Vegas.
- 11:21The one prior to that was wave of
- 11:23innovation there in Sydney. So you'll
- 11:25just have to catch me over there on X
- 11:27for the next week. And hopefully that
- 11:29week gives us some time for some price
- 11:31action to transpire throughout the
- 11:32crypto market and at least tell us, hey,
- 11:34where are we going to be developing a
- 11:35range? Can we get some type of clear
- 11:37fivewave impulse to the upside to say
- 11:39we're going to do it from 95,000 or can
- 11:41we get something clear to say, hey,
- 11:43we're going to do it right here. Right
- 11:44now that seems a little bit indecisive,
- 11:46but in the grand scheme of everything,
- 11:48that's really where the focus has to be,
- 11:50right? onchain, technicals, everything.
- 11:53We're beyond the bottom. It's the wall
- 11:54of worry. There's going to be several
- 11:55ranges on the way up. And this is
- 11:57nothing unusual. Often it doesn't give
- 11:59that big dopamine hit that everybody is
- 12:01looking for. So, you get exhausted cuz
- 12:04if you're on X all the time, it's like,
- 12:06oh, this is super bullish news. Whoa,
- 12:08totally think things are going to happen
- 12:10soon. But you get you get hit with that
- 12:12messaging all the time to try to get
- 12:14your morale up a little bit. Uh, but
- 12:15this is all typical regular behavior.
- 12:17So, we'll wait on it. We'll see how
- 12:19things transpire throughout the rest of
- 12:20the month. And of course, I'll report
- 12:22back to you guys my thoughts on Swell.
- 12:24So, if you don't know what Swell is,
- 12:25it's hosted by Ripple, typically leading
- 12:28up to Swell. Content creators in X go
- 12:31kind of crazy speculating that there's
- 12:33going to be some crazy news drop that
- 12:35happens there that's going to make XRP
- 12:37go to the moon. Uh, it's every year that
- 12:39people think that. Usually, there's
- 12:40there's nothing revolutionary that gets
- 12:42announced at these things. So, don't
- 12:44anticipate that there's some major news
- 12:46announcement that's going to happen. I'm
- 12:47also not paid to go to this. I do have
- 12:49to fork up the cash myself. New York
- 12:51City is not cheap, so I'm just going on
- 12:53my own free will. So, all right. I'm
- 12:55going to go ahead and wrap this thing up
- 12:56and check in with you guys soon. If
- 12:58you're not following me on X, follow me
- 13:00at BC Backer. That'll be the best way to
- 13:02get updates from me for the next week.
- 13:04Of course, check out the newsletter over
- 13:06here. I just published this one. The
- 13:07early phases of a bull market with the
- 13:09same historical setup is taking shape in
- 13:11Bitcoin and altcoins. The next dynamic
- 13:13phase and behind the scenes data. Again,
- 13:15talking a lot about these phases when
- 13:16we're going through these walls of
- 13:18worry, the order of operations things
- 13:20tend to go in and then showing some of
- 13:22the metrics that I have behind the
- 13:23scenes when it comes to engagement rates
- 13:25or website traffic uh that really kind
- 13:28of show the transitions that happen when
- 13:30we're at the peaks of bull markets and
- 13:31there's a massive bearish divergence in
- 13:33sentiment and number of users in the
- 13:36market and then the huge divergence that
- 13:37has happened here at the low that
- 13:39there's a very obvious change that has
- 13:41happened here in the market again
- 13:43insinuating we're beyond the bottom. So,
- 13:45that's available over here at
- 13:46blockchainbacker.substack.com.
- 13:48It also includes a 43minute audio
- 13:50recording that I personally record.
