Bitcoin Dumps 12% | You’re Being Lied To About The Bitcoin ETFs…

    what’s going on everyone my name is
    Nicholas meron here from data Dash and
    today is May 1st of 2024 well folks I
    hope you all are having a fantastic day
    wherever you are because in today’s
    video we’ve got to spend some time to
    urgently break down what’s going on in
    crypto markets as we’ve had two
    significant red days in price action
    breaking below the 100 day moving
    average for daily close for the first
    time since back here in August of 2023
    this sends clear signals about where
    price is likely heading and I want to
    spend some time to not only review the
    price action of a whole range of
    different cryptos as broader Assets in
    the stock market but outside that as
    well try to give you guys a game plan on
    how to approach this we’ve got a lot to
    unpack here in today’s video so if you
    Happ to enjoy it consider dropping a
    like and let’s go ahead and kick things
    off so guys as you will probably
    remember from our prior video we put out
    just back on Monday we had talked about
    this essential case where Bitcoin was
    likely to collapse from around the
    $62,000 or $63,000 range below the
    18-day moving average and down at least
    to the 200 day moving average the reason
    why this is the case is we’ve seen
    consistent price weakness here an
    inconsistency on the 21-day moving
    average was our first sign the wedging
    pattern the price building up with
    higher lows and lower highs and a
    failure to break out but rather a clear
    breakdown and rejection at the 21-day is
    all all we needed to know to have this
    confidence that we were heading lower
    and since then back here during this
    period in early April we’ve been
    significantly in cash off of that
    inconsistency in the trend we got out
    way in advance we took a lot of the
    profits we had from a lot of the mem
    coins and allcoin trade setups that we
    engaged in and we took that cash and
    we’ve been remaining patiently on the
    sidelines here and it’s been paying
    dividends we have now had the first
    significant break of 100 day this is
    much further than the correction we had
    back here in late January post the
    launch of the ETF and I know a lot of
    people are probably confused by this
    some people might be wondering why are
    we seeing the sell off now you know I
    thought the ETF inflows were just going
    to lead us to six figures I thought the
    having event was going to help well guys
    as you all have probably seen if you
    watch the channel religiously if you
    haven’t already if you like this video
    consider dropping a like consider
    subscribing consider joining the family
    but for those of you who really do watch
    the channel religiously you guys know
    we’ve talked about how the having event
    on a fundamental basis on a Supply
    adjustment basis is minimal it’s only a
    7% not 7% but 7% inflation reduction on
    an annualized basis for Bitcoin it does
    not have a great impact on the grand
    scheme of things when it comes to price
    versus prior having events where the
    prior was 1.4 before that was 2.8 right
    so you’re talking about much larger
    inflation uh reductions and where it
    goes to bitcoin Supply so again
    important point to keep in mind but
    outside of that as well we also have
    have very clear weakening in the ETF
    inflows in fact we’re actually seeing
    net outflows in the United States now a
    lot of people usually are thinking about
    one or two topics obviously the US ETFs
    that launched earlier back this year in
    January and the newer topic or narrative
    that got everyone Juiced up which is the
    Hong Kong ETFs and suppos an entry for
    money throughout Hong Kong Shanghai the
    broad Chinese market to be able to get
    into Bitcoin as an asset for the first
    time on a spot basis
    well at the end of the day guys we
    simply need to look at the numbers we do
    not need to analyze the headlines go off
    of assumption and hype around what could
    be the case right I know a lot of people
    again made the narrative that there’s
    endless amounts of money that’s just
    going to rush into these ETFs the moment
    they launch well let’s take a look here
    here in this week week of the 29th we
    can see that the numbers are not just
    going down because of gbtc right gbtc
    outflows are still steady right now we
    have seen a huge drop from the grayscale
    gbtc product as people have been able to
    out outflow essentially from the ETF but
    that’s just one part of the equation we
    also have a broaden weakening in the
    broader ETFs the new ones that are
    launched this year we saw only about a
    2,200 Bitcoin expansion for the Black
    Rock ibet ETF we saw here in Fidelity
    ETF only the expansion of around I mean
    give or take here like 1,400 100 my math
    might be off a little bit again you’re
    talking about very minor increases here
    I’m kind of doing on the spot but you
    can see very clearly that even some of
    the new ETFs like the arc 21 shares
    Bitcoin ETF actually saw a negative
    outflow they saw an outflow here on the
    amount of Bitcoin held within the ETF
    but going beyond all that guys we just
    got to look at the the raw numbers here
    the total because if we are seeing total
    net inflows or outflows that’s going to
    help us to give hints about where price
    and directions going and we can see that
    net overall Can’t Ignore gbtc I really
    think this line is not valuable in my
    opinion when you’re looking at this
    chart the real thing here is the total
    for all us ETFs and we see a net outflow
    of nearly 9,000 Bitcoin week over
    week that’s not good guys that’s really
    bad that is showing that after months of
    stalling here right since back here in
    March and April where the ETF has really
    not made any significant gains on a week
    by- we basis we’re now seeing a clear
    Trend reversal so this is not the
    infinite money glitch that people had
    claimed it is and as we’ve been talking
    about for a long time ETF inflows will
    likely increase on dip buying
    opportunities institutions do not fomo
    in right there are some institutional
    trades to do that but broadly speaking
    institutional capital is going to get in
    in a capitula of events they’re getting
    into discounts right so they’re not just
    going to guarantee buying pressure all
    the way up to six figures all the time
    and this is a really big Point we’ve
    tried to talk about for the past last
    couple months even as we changed our
    tune we rode the wave to the upside in
    the later months we made some great
    trades in altcoins this is an important
    Nuance that so many people fail to
    understand and we can see here that for
    the Hong Kong ETF look you know the
    numbers don’t look terrible this day one
    launch is mostly retail volume coming in
    I think it’s going to take time but
    overall for this ETF event that everyone
    was really expecting to be this huge
    event it really was a pretty lukewarm or
    relatively moderate launch and I think
    there’s a couple reasons for that one
    the manag fees in these ETFs a lot of
    people don’t know are are generally on
    average much higher than the United
    States so it’s a lot less competitive
    there’s a bit of more of a monopoly from
    the funds out there that are launching
    these Bitcoin ETFs so institutional
    investors are a little bit more hesitant
    but outside of that as well investor
    sentiment in Asia right now is pretty
    negative and you can take a look at the
    Hang sing index you can take a look at
    any kind of measurement the Shanghai
    composit the broader measurements of the
    stock market in China and you will find
    that investor sentiment is pretty shot
    right now especially the after the
    collapse of ground back a couple years
    ago and the broad a real estate market I
    think the last thing that people are
    looking to go into right now is Bitcoin
    that might have been a different story a
    couple years ago when China was really
    thriving and at the head of global
    growth I don’t know if that’s going to
    be the number one Focus for people right
    now uh whether you’re talking about
    retail or institutions and we also have
    another big event here guys which is
    obviously the fomc meeting now I want to
    let you guys know if you’re here right
    now later on today Russ is going to be
    doing a video breaking down the post
    fomc kind of of realization of what’s
    going on he’s going to be talking about
    the price action and the charts he’s
    going to be breaking out his thoughts on
    what this means for inflation the
    broader macros sphere what it means for
    stocks on crypto so stay tuned for that
    later on today it’ll be dropping towards
    the market Clos later today but I
    definitely want to let you guys know
    about that I think this is going to be a
    very big pivotal event here because the
    markets have been going from expecting a
    whole range of rate cuts to now
    potentially being open to much higher
    rates for longer or potentially seeing
    even higher interest rates more hikes
    coming into the picture with a
    Resurgence and inflation and the
    strength of inflation to maintain on the
    in the case of the CPI which I think we
    all know is is probably not the most
    honest number the pce the CPI are all
    reading ST stagnant numbers well above
    3% which is well established and above
    the fed target of 2% that it needs to
    get down to historically in order to
    maintain steady rates of inflation now
    just taking a look here at some of the
    different crypto plays here guys we’ve
    got Stacks which is down here in the day
    and while it initially was getting a
    little bit of buyers this morning it’s
    faded back down which I think is again
    further confirmation here that a lot of
    people expecting to buy all coins at the
    200 day and thinking that they’re
    getting the ultimate discount
    opportunity I would say heat a little
    bit of caution while this is a much
    better range to DCA or maybe build some
    position sizing and yes we’re getting
    close here to being 50% down a lot of
    all coins I still think we’ve probably
    got a couple more days or weeks to go
    and it’s not something that you have to
    absolutely rush into because there’s no
    guarantee that this is going to bounce
    here I’ll give a great example of this
    Stacks which was definitely a leading
    play here from December 2022 here to
    March 2023 heavily outpaced Bitcoin
    heavily outpaced the broader allcoin
    Market but what happened well
    essentially from that time period it
    went down 70% from that range and went
    well below the 200 day even after a
    bounce up to the 100 day it faded there
    and stayed down there for multiple
    months from those June lows so keep that
    in mind here when there’s a lot of
    people telling you just just buy the dip
    buy the dip make sure that you’re buying
    into serious capitulation and you’ve
    also got the patience as well not to
    mention the checks and balances in place
    to make sure that you’re not holding
    into a position that’s just going to
    keep going down and down whether that’s
    stop losses whether that’s setting
    mental price levels or you’re going to
    kind of drisk or de expose yourself
    ordinals as well this is again down from
    $96 we told people stay away from
    ordinals after making the call here back
    here in November to go long after it
    started to stall the 21-day since then
    it’s been nothing but trouble from 7 $5
    $95 all the way down here to 32 bucks so
    again we are definitely looking for
    opportunities in this capitulation we
    are definitely interested in buying into
    the dip on some of these plays in the
    market as they continue to move lower
    but I think that the level in which a
    lot of people are are thinking this is
    going to bottom M maybe a little bit
    further from where people think we have
    still got a ways to go here for Bitcoin
    to hit down on that 200 day and as many
    of you already know the essential effect
    that a Bitcoin correction is going to
    have in the same way that altcoins or
    other coins in this case really the
    juicy altcoin market right is outpacing
    Bitcoin dramatically when we go to the
    upside by kind of the end of the rally
    at the end of the day altcoins are going
    to get smashed and head even harder
    during a Bitcoin correction so keep that
    in mind that I think others dominance is
    going to continue to dwindle I don’t
    think you’re going to find support here
    at the 200 day I think your value of
    opportunity is somewhere well beyond the
    200 day down here close to the 200 week
    and that means we’ve got probably
    another 4050 billion do in market cap
    correction to go when it comes to the
    altcoin market there’s a lot of froth in
    the mcoin space there’s a lot of
    overvalued airdrop projects that are
    just going to continue to churn here in
    the next couple of days and that will
    give us a much better risk reward entry
    for either a rebound trade or for some
    really good long-term swing setups so
    just keep that in mind here I’m not
    trying to be a Perma bear and scream to
    the clouds and sky and say that the
    world is falling it’s just overall to be
    cautious here and to see that we are
    very quickly back here at the lows where
    we were back here on April 13th and I
    don’t see that same kind of buy the dip
    reaction so far maybe that starts to
    change and if it does the way I would
    see it is I’m not going to be chasing
    this off of Bounce of the 200 day I’m
    going to see if we can get above the 21
    Day or the 100 day which is really not
    that far away I don’t mind paying a
    little bit of Premium cuz at the end of
    the day I would still be getting it a
    great discount from where it was at back
    here in March so I really am in a great
    great position right now I feel being in
    cash I feel like I can let the market
    come to me and I can see how it starts
    to react with those moving averages
    that’s how in my opinion a smart Trader
    would be approaching this how a lot of
    the institutions or larger whales are
    going to be approaching this setup here
    we also have as well render I want to
    take some time to Showcase render as
    well similar situation here not getting
    the same kind of buy the dip pressure
    even though we’ve been kind of fading in
    slowly here versus the more dramatic
    selloff so I think that you’re
    definitely coming down to the 200 day on
    this but I think potentially even going
    lower now if you guys want to know what
    trade setups we’re getting in where
    we’re going to be exposed when we’re
    going to be buying that dip not only do
    I hope to share some of that information
    here on this channel to give you guys
    some good hints about when I’m really
    going in I don’t want to kind of
    gatekeep all information I do a lot of

    Below in the description get 20% off now
    I want to go ahead and talk a little bit
    here about what’s going on in equity
    markets because I understand a lot of
    people are hyper focused on what’s going
    on in crypto it’s definitely making much
    more dramatic moves as it tends to be
    both to the upside when all assets are
    moving higher crypto usually leads and
    also crypto bleeds essentially when we
    start to move to the downside all right
    what we’re see see right now in
    volatility I think is quite interesting
    you know a lot of people scoffed off the
    recent spike in volatility or the vix
    over the past couple weeks as it faded
    here in the week of the 22nd of April
    however one thing I’ve been keeping a
    sharp eye on is whether or not we go
    back below the 200 day and so far we
    have seen a really solid bounce of the
    200 day so far so the key point I want
    to emphasize here is that I think this
    is not just a story of crypto fading I
    think overall asset prices are
    correcting off of fed concerns around AR
    policy Contracting the money supply
    they’re concerned about generally weak
    inflows into the new risk on assets
    people are not paying the same kind of
    premium for risk on assets as they were
    before and I think overall we’re just
    seeing genuine signs of a healthy
    pullback it doesn’t have to be a
    recessionary a bare Market it could very
    well be in the event of the yield curve
    on inverting but overall right now what
    I’m calling for here in the case of
    equities is for correction down here in
    the 200 day maybe slightly below it
    somewhere here for example in this
    pocket between 14,000 points to 14,500
    in the case of the NASDAQ and that
    overall just like from a percentage
    basis is a healthy 11 to 14% correction
    range that is not doomsday by any means
    that is not me being a Perma bear as I
    know so many people probably for the
    last couple months have wanted to call
    me I’m just here to give you guys the
    facts so this happens in markets time
    and time again and we are seeing the
    same structural issues with price action
    here in regards to to equities uh that
    we saw in crypto markets we had a dip
    near the 100 day a bounce up a failure
    at the 21-day for multiple days with a
    clear red rejection candle 2% the nastic
    yesterday and these are the kind of
    signs here that signal that volatility
    is coming back in the market there’s
    uncertainty there’s not Clarity in the
    trend we are back where we were back in
    January so we’ve cut back multiple
    months of gains and let alone gains that
    were not that impressive right the
    majority of the gains really came here
    throughout the course of 2023 three and
    uh essentially as we moved into 2024
    we’ve had this rounding structure here
    where a lot of those games have been
    faded in just a matter of a couple of
    weeks and just let’s take a look here at
    the the leading stocks here and this is
    a really important Dynamic to understand
    guys how a lot of this can come crashing
    down very quick the point I want to
    bring to your attention is the
    Magnificent 7 now you’ve possibly heard
    me talk about this you probably heard
    media Outlets talk about it it’s
    essentially focusing on the fact that
    there have been about seven stocks and
    generally speaking you could really
    expand this if you you want to maybe
    eight or nine stocks but there is a
    concentration in equity markets well
    over 30% I think it was peaking 33% as a
    recent uh don’t hold me to those numbers
    it’s some close in that range we nearly
    a third of the market is made up like
    the entire Equity Market of tens of
    trillions of dollars in the United
    States is made up of seven key stocks
    we’re talking about Apple Microsoft
    Nvidia meta Amazon Google Netflix uh
    Tesla you’re talking about really a key
    cohort of companies that have really
    swallowed up a lot of the equity value
    in markets and I just want to take some
    time to take a look at those charts here
    guys I’ve shown you the long-term Nvidia
    chart I’ve showcased how essentially
    we’ve gone from a 1200% expansion from
    2015 to
    2017 we had a th% expansion from low to
    top uh from December 2018 here to
    November 2021 and we’ve also had a rally
    from October 2022 here towards March
    2024 all right and now we are seeing
    very clear signs here in the 21-day
    struggle to hold above the 21-day which
    used to be the Baseline of support here
    for uptrends on Nvidia we are now
    looking like we’re ready to fade and if
    we take a look back at history while
    Nvidia has now become a 2 I think 2.1
    trillion compan current valuations it
    was sitting at around 2.3 the other day
    becoming almost one of the largest
    companies in the world we’ve seen very
    clearly that Nvidia can go through harsh
    pullbacks when it starts to pull back
    and there will be a lot of people
    holding the empty bag 56% 68% of the
    downside what happens when Nvidia one of
    the market leaders in The Narrative of
    AI starts to correct 30 40% at current
    valuations that is going to hit the
    NASDAQ big time and probably fill in
    some of these gaps maybe even going
    lower than what I’m calling for coming
    well below the 200 day testing down the
    200 week coming to fill some of these
    gaps like the one at
    13,796 a lot of people aren’t prepared
    for that AMD another chip maker here
    not as strong as Nvidia right but we’re
    seeing very clearly AMD shot down at the
    100 day shot down at the 21 Day the
    21-day moving below the 100 day not a
    good sign showcasing very clear Trend
    weakness overall we can see Tesla had
    huge gab UPS off of the news that China
    is going to be approving its full
    self-driving uh FSD technology and while
    that that’s very exciting I think this
    awesome you know exciting news to see
    how that’s going to be piloted in China
    from it from a fundamentals perspective
    at the same time Market’s clearly
    showing that it gapped up too
    aggressively yesterday we had a 5.5%
    move to the downside we got a big gap to
    172 to get filled another one here
    potentially to 147 the broader event of
    a a larger correction so just keep that
    in mind here guys that like you clear
    rejection at the 200 week and the 100
    day pocket not looking good meta
    Facebook which has just been on an
    absolute tear from its compititive lows
    finally got a gap down on earnings of
    10% and what do you know here we reject
    at the 100 day moving average we’re not
    even coming up for The Gap fill and just
    the the candle patterns here look very
    clearly like they’re pointing towards
    closing down the Gap 400 coming down to
    the 200 day at a minimum potentially
    even worse I don’t want to be to
    Doomsday here and too Doom and Gloom but
    it at least shows we’re due for that
    healthy moderate 13 14% correction in
    equities across the board Amazon has a
    gap down here 159 bounced off the 100
    day rejected at the 21 day looks like
    it’s steadfast towards this range again
    if it’s does not hold we’re coming down
    fill the Gap and probably come down to
    the uh 200 day moving average same range
    we’re at back in December uh we can see
    here with Google great Gap up on
    earnings nearly 10% but has just faded
    down ever since with the broader Market
    sentiment likely coming down and if it
    doesn’t hold that 21 day it’s coming to
    the 100 day and likely coming down fill
    that Gap at 144 now as I’m going through
    these charts guys as I talk about
    Netflix here it looks like it’s breaking
    the 100 day coming down here to the 200
    day pocket filling in the gap 500 uh we
    can take a look at Microsoft and Apple
    which we’ll take a look at moment but I
    I want to bring up a very important
    Point here I’m not just going through
    these charts just say oh look at this
    look at this look at this what I’m
    saying here is that these companies the
    concentration of The Magnificent 7 and
    the broader large cap
    stocks it has not been this bad since
    the com era the concentration in Cisco
    and a few key Market leaders this
    happens time and time again throughout
    history during optimistic waves there is
    an overc concentration in the leading
    players that have grown in some ways too
    good for their own good and they
    unfortunately are not going to be able
    to grow at the same scale they used to
    so people stop paying as large of PE
    multiples for these stocks and therefore
    not only does value potentially rotate
    into New Market leaders down the line
    which is what we’re looking for here in
    this capitulation we want to find new
    players that really have the ability to
    10 20 30 50x over the next couple years
    and massively outpace equities but
    beyond that as well we are seeing a lot
    of valuation contraction even when just
    a few of these stocks start to pull back
    it not only hits the trend on the other
    smaller midcap stocks and other large
    caps but beyond that there’s a lot of
    valuation contraction when Microsoft
    dips 3% you’re talking about tens of
    billions of dollars getting wiped out uh
    potentially here in this case actually
    probably coming up close to1 billion so
    my point here is that there’s a lot of
    valuation contraction going on in
    equities we see very clearly Trend
    weakness here obviously PA minimum
    coming down at the 200 day maybe even
    come here to its prior engine support at
    314 some of these companies Apple
    Microsoft really I think are going to to
    bring a lot of pain to the markets and
    even if they just correct 15 20% that is
    going to mean huge ramifications for the
    NASDAQ as a whole for those who are
    passive investing because there’s so
    much concentration valuation in these
    plays so this is a very important
    Dynamic to understand I think it’s a big
    reason why markets are pulling back like
    they have the order books have been
    relatively thin I don’t don’t think a
    lot of the rally we saw off of the
    anticipation of the ETF was really
    Justified it was really I think at the
    end of the day feasible to sustain a
    longer term rally I think we’re at a
    minimum going to have to see a broader
    correction down to these moving averages
    before we really start to see an
    expansion higher but at the same time
    I’m here to tell you guys that while I’m
    I might sound all like Doomsday here I
    think at the same time this is a period
    of time to have cash ready on the
    sidelines have your strategy in place
    know which plays to buy in a dip and
    look for plays that are holding up
    relatively strong not just purely going
    after dip buying opportunities but ones
    in which have showcased previous
    strength have the growth multiple
    opportunities so plays that aren’t too
    overvalued in multiple billions of
    dollars right and also finding some of
    those valuable small midcap plays that
    can do really well in the event that
    Bitcoin comes back up and goes to six
    figures right we want to be open to that
    scenario right learning from 2023 I’m
    keeping open mind to both scenario in a
    scenario where we could be that what we
    saw here in March was the end of the
    rally and Bitcoin isn’t coming back for
    some time and it’s going to go through a
    bare market and I also see the scenario
    where Bitcoin could find support at the
    200 day or somewhere nearby and start to
    get a rebound back up towards the
    previous highs going to six figures set
    new all-time highs and an allcoin C
    potentially playing out so we want to be
    prepared in those plays one of the plays
    that I definitely recommend you guys
    keep on our radar is one of our partners
    Angel block if you guys are not keeping
    up with Ang block I definitely recommend
    you do so there’s two real key reasons I
    want to bring up angel block here I’ve
    not only been an ambassador in the
    project over the last couple years but
    there’s two key value propositions that
    I think ad block has from both a
    protocol perspective in regards to the
    functionality it offers as well as a
    potential opportunity for the protocol
    to grow in value the first thing is that
    overall in the case of Angel block
    they’re servicing as one of the Next
    Generation launchpads or fundraising
    platforms for emerging projects in the
    crypto space so from a utility pers
    perspective you have an ability to get
    in on a whole range of different
    projects and different narratives early
    on similar to how VCS and Angel
    Investors usually get into private token
    sales and early stage projects before
    they hit the big exchanges of much
    higher multiples valuations so I think
    that that’s very important to open up
    that opportunity be able to get access
    towards a whole range of narratives inro
    block is kind of a essentially it’s
    agnostic to any narrative so essentially
    they’re servicing a whole range of
    emerging L1 and L2 ecosystems they’re
    servicing a whole range of different
    specified narratives in the crypto space
    so I think that it’s imperative to keep
    an eye on these early stage platforms
    that have a pretty wide range of
    offerings in regards to the projects
    they have but outside of that as well
    from an investment perspective while I’m
    not here to tell you guys to go and buy
    the token the key thing overall that I
    like about angel block is that from a
    price action perspective it’s found its
    base here from October 2023 against
    ethereum and I think that that pretty
    much speaks volume about the broader
    term Trend here about how Angel block is
    is probably not likely to go under the
    those lows so long as we continue in a
    broader move in the market and the
    reason why is because the th token at
    the end of the day offers you greater
    access earlier stage access and larger
    ticket sizes to be able to invest in
    those early stage projects so the more
    more quality projects come on to Angel
    block the more becomes a larger
    fundraising platform the crypto space
    the more demand there will be for th in
    order to get access to those projects
    it’s baked into the fundamentals and I
    really like that here and the fact that
    we’re not too far away from the 21 day
    we’ve been holding up sideways here
    against ethereum I like that and in
    dollar terms it’s been relatively
    similar as well we’ve been able to build
    a nice base since that period of time
    back in October so again I just want you
    guys to definitely keep it under radar
    above all I really like the project I
    like Alex on the team I think they’ve
    did a great job this is desperately
    needed in the crypto space considering
    that there was yet again another year in
    2023 where we had billions of dollars
    stolen from hacks I have no doubt that
    here in 2024 that has ramped up big time
    as we’ve had more rug PS more meme coins
    and more outright scams and projects
    they’re giving empty promises big hopes
    and dreams and not actually delivering
    on their Vision in the case of Angel
    block they’ve got fundamental principles
    built in that prevent that from
    happening so overall guys we covered it
    out here today we talked about our
    target range for Bitcoin we talked about
    some of the altcoins that we’re watching
    across the board of the market some of
    the levels we think they could start to
    go to uh I think overall again as we
    scan through the altcoin market here a
    lot of these plays are going to go well
    beyond their 200 day moving averages as
    we’ve already seen in some players like
    ordinals and this is going to shock a
    lot of people a lot of people are not
    going to be prepared for it they’re
    going to be Overexposed some many are
    probably Overexposed now and if you are
    in that position guys I’m not here to
    bage you I think at this point uh it
    probably doesn’t make sense selling
    everything uh but again heed the warning
    signs of price action I would just say
    take it as a learning lesson make sure
    to focus on how price reacts with that
    21 day and if it starts to WAN and the
    trend starts to weaken like it did
    throughout this period of time in many
    cryptocurrencies don’t be so hesitant to
    go back into Cash because as you can see
    here like Take Salon as an example this
    is like kind of a good closing remark
    here very clear in consistency of the
    21-day back here in January we start to
    break could be a cue for you to
    essentially get out of your positions
    wait for broad correction to the lower
    moving averages but in this case it
    didn’t go all the way down and it came
    right back up well look at that it’s
    right exactly where you could have
    started to sell your position here on
    multiple breaks of the 21 Day so the key
    Point here I want to say is that there’s
    usually no pain in taking your positions
    out um at the end of the day if you are
    regularly short-term trading or over on
    the markets you’re not going to deal
    with any like worse tax incentives or
    anything like that it’s only if you’re
    really like a long-term hotle investor
    yeah that’s maybe where you don’t want
    to trade so frequently but if you’re on
    a position that’s up massively and
    you’ve held it for a year or more in the
    United States you already benefit from
    long-term capital gains I know a lot of
    you are from different regions tax LS
    may vary but the key Point here is don’t
    be afraid to take profits don’t let
    taxes scare you from that and don’t fall
    for the victim uh don’t be victim to the
    mindset of hdle hdle hdle endlessly till
    the end of time you will inevitably get
    burnt in crypto not all plays go up and
    to the right forever Bitcoin I think is
    one of the few exceptions but just keep
    that in mind guys one last thing I
    wanted to share here as an important
    thing I don’t know if you guys have
    heard about this uh some of you may or
    may not know him uh but there is an
    individual uh called Cody on Twitter
    he’s been a a kind of distant good
    friend of mine throughout the crypto
    space I’ve chav with him many times has
    met him in person over the years long
    story short he had a really bad um
    medical uh issue when he was in Costa
    Rica he’s still in Costa Rica now uh
    Cody is just genuinely one of the nicer
    people that I’ve met there’s a GoFundMe
    for him right now at the moment uh his
    mom his girlfriend his family are aiming
    to raise money to get him back to the
    United States it’s relatively time
    urgent he’s been slowly coming out of a
    coma I honestly don’t know every bit of
    detail around the situation I don’t want
    to preach it but I just know that Cody
    is a really genuine guy and I see a lot
    of potential here in getting Cody back
    uh and he’s very close to reaching the
    fundraising goal uh so if you guys are
    interested in supporting him I made a
    donation as well donated a couple
    hundred bucks uh I think he’s a really
    great guy I definitely recommend you
    guys consider donating as well um if you
    don’t have the capital if you don’t know
    him I respect that there’s no pressure I
    don’t mean to guil trip anyone but I
    think overall Cody’s a really cool guy
    and it’s getting really close to getting
    that fundraising goal so definitely
    consider supporting him I I I featured
    on my Twitter page it’s one of my most
    recent posts so you guys can go check
    them out on go fundme but overall in
    closing remarks guys it’s time to remain
    patient remain Vigilant and as we get
    more and more capitulation here we’re
    going to feel more and more comfortable
    building positions and I’m going to let
    you guys know here in this channel when
    we start to build some of those
    positions so if you’re interested in

    1. Sonnenshein has been planning this for years … laughing all the way to the bank as Grayscale pockets its intentionally extortionate 1.5% fee… who's going to buy in as long as they're dumping? With ±300k still to go, see you in August

    2. Good morning, Nick🫶🏿💕! Thank you for telling the truth about what is happening in the market. We need more truth tellers in this space. There are ebbs and flows in the market, and what we are experiencing is healthy.

    3. clear analysis, crypto prices are going down and most beginners don't know where they actually are
      the markets are making:
      more weak prices are moving the prices lower
      the market have over tested the 60k and show the buyers are not strong enough to hold
      it's clear the market is trying to make corrections and people are not willing to wait for the correction
      the EFT and halving doesn't stop what happens on the charts, they're only fundamentals
      the technical points are stronger especially when it comes to bitcoin
      we just have to watch out for the next levels where bitcoin would want to rest at
      as investors our jobs is to be patient and buy lower

    4. Hey Nick , u were telling us nothing but the truth..
      i wish i was more patient as u did when i invested on some alts when Bitcoin was at ATH ..
      thanks for being honest and genuine, and never apologize for telling ppl the reality of what's happening in the markets

    5. Historically speaking Bitcoin doesnt do much immediately after the halving – but it does do impressive spikes and tops out around 18 or so months afterwards. No one can time the market, but I'd say it's worth considering entering a position at current prices and if further dips occur, just add to your position. Over the long run, there is a higher probability to the upside than the downside, if history suggests it.
