Bitcoin To Hit $90K Soon | Mike Alfred

    is Bitcoin heading to
    $90,000 in the very near future my guest
    today who you’ve seen here and is
    generally right Mike Alfred thinks we’re
    heading there and heading there soon and
    he’s going to make that case we’re going
    to talk about that of course everything
    else happening in markets and with
    Bitcoin chart guys on the back half as
    always on Thursdays let’s
    go let’s
    [Music]
    what is up everybody I’m Scott mker also
    known as The Wolf of all streets before
    we get started please subscribe to the
    channel and hit that like button the
    title today is based on a tweet from
    Mike Alfred which also had articles
    written about it based on the same tweet
    so pretty high ition here we could be
    heading to 990,000 not saying tomorrow
    but in the very near future so let’s
    talk about it good morning Mike how are
    you good morning sir how are you uh
    jealous because you told me you’re gonna
    have really good seats at the Laker game
    tonight well if you look behind the
    Nuggets bench you might see me but no
    promises I said I’m gonna take a bunch
    of screenshots and try to find the most
    awkward uh facial expressions you have
    and share them on share them on X but
    yeah let’s talk about this right this is
    the uh this is the tweet that uh Spark
    marked a whole lot of uh attention gxy
    dollar Index hit resistance at 106 as
    expected and has started to turn over a
    move back towards 102 103 will Turbo
    turbocharge this rally the timing makes
    sense because Bitcoin is primed to move
    to 990,000 in the short term longer term
    I expect dxy at 92 perhaps by late 2025
    actually that aligns very well with kind
    of my analysis on dxy over time um that
    it will eventually be well under a 100
    but let’s talk about the 90,000 Target
    and how you sort of surmise that well
    sometimes in in markets there’s a
    Confluence of different factors and
    candidly also there’s just experience
    and intuition that comes into play I
    think that Bitcoin is just programmed uh
    to go to those levels and so when I when
    I look for factors that could drive it
    to support it occasionally I’ll find a
    few um but in this case I feel like
    there’s there are a whole bunch of them
    um and if you look back to to last year
    Scott you remember we we did the show I
    think a couple times but we in August we
    did one where I said Bitcoin was going
    to
    40K like 25 maybe 2ish I remember was
    bouncing the 25 26 28 people were super
    negative super bearish as they always
    tend to do during these Cycles they flip
    negative right before the before the rip
    and 40,000 seemed kind of crazy we ended
    up hitting that like in early November I
    think um and then from there of course
    we we we kept going um into the new year
    as we as we hit new alltime high before
    the having I think we’re in a similar uh
    kind of setup here people have flipped a
    little bit negative because of the
    Slowdown uh in sort of the big Tech
    complex the US econom is clearly slowing
    down there there are some there’s some
    justifiable fear right like when you see
    Meta a stock that hedge funds love to
    hide out and I call it hedge fund hotels
    these are stocks that have become such
    consensus Longs that like essentially
    like there’s no reason for you to stay
    in business if you don’t own them and so
    everybody piles in not just the tiger
    cubs but you know all the index funds
    and even my uncle who hated tech stocks
    15 years ago loves QQQ all of a sudden
    right so like we’re just at the end of
    the of the line in terms of people’s
    fascination with with tech and so as the
    air kind of comes out of Tesla and apple
    and meta and even Nvidia a little bit
    around the edge we saw it with super
    micro over the last couple weeks as well
    um there may be some like very very
    short-term weakness in Bitcoin as people
    tend to associate Bitcoin with the the
    larger Tech complex and the q’s and
    things like that I think that’s
    Pennywise pound fuelish I think
    bitcoin’s more driven by its own
    internal Cycles it’s driven by the
    liquidity cycle it’s driven by money
    leaving China right it’s driven by
    fractals it’s driven by Elliot waves and
    and other technical factors and so I
    think we’re sitting at like a really
    high value area here in the low 60s we
    could go down in my opinion to 50 or 55
    or 58 uh but again all those levels
    would be buying opportunities um because
    I think in about a month to two months
    out we’ll probably be in the 80 or 90k
    uh range and again like to to directly
    answer your question the fundamentals in
    my opinion are are really good um thir
    the deficits that the US government is
    running are huge the national debt is
    huge um you can see with the GDP numbers
    slowing down today there’s going to be
    more of a reason for the FED to
    eventually start to lower rates as we
    look out the market will price that in
    months in advance uh again money’s
    leaving China there are other
    governments that are going to need to
    print um and so the liquidity
    environment I think is about to get a
    lot better we’ve got the Hong Kong ETFs
    coming we’ve got the support from the
    the US ETFs I could go on there are like
    a few dozen different things yeah I mean
    there’s I think in within the Bitcoin
    cycle itself as you said it’s nothing
    but Tailwinds and I think that people
    just perceive that the only headwinds
    maybe if we see a market wide drop
    outside of uh of crypto in general this
    is the article on coin that obviously
    was written effectively referencing your
    Tweet and quotes you but there’s one
    other thing that I want to show here
    kind of looking at the Bitcoin chart
    because I was just thinking about it as
    you said it this was that time right and
    anyone with a brain said listen when we
    broke 25,000 which was here you can see
    the kind 25,000 this candle right here
    that was the end of the bar market right
    some people will say the bare Market
    ended at 16 or 17,000 but like it’s
    hindsight to say you knew that the bull
    market had started at the very bottom of
    the bare Market but for me 25 was the
    first higher high in an entire cycle
    down from 69 then to your point we
    ranged from April all the way until
    October from basically 32 to 25 and this
    is when we were talking it was down here
    and just like now when you’re at the
    bottom of a range people get
    exceptionally bearish right and it’s
    just range and we’ve had them every
    single range all the way on the way up
    and you get the sweep of the bottom of
    those ranges and then price tends to
    continue up it’s a story as as old as
    time um and there are good reasons for
    the again the tech names to to pull back
    um I’m not necessarily saying like
    they’re not bad businesses right there’s
    nothing wrong fundamentally long term in
    my opinion with like meta or Nvidia or
    apple or Tesla or Netflix or any of
    these companies but their expectations
    for how their performance should go from
    here I think are unanchored uh from
    reality because the past performance has
    been so good and because they’ve get
    these systemic flows uh via like the
    401K plans for example like basically
    the the most unthinking money in the
    world piles into the same set of stocks
    um and so yeah the money can come out of
    those and it doesn’t necessarily have to
    have anything to do with Bitcoin other
    than in the very short term it affects
    sentiment around the edges so you’re
    seeing people turn kind of macro bearish
    uh on equities and macro bearish on risk
    assets um and I think this might be the
    cycle where we find out whether Bitcoin
    is you know not really a risk asset I
    think I think those of of us who studied
    it know that it’s fundamentally not a
    risk asset but it’s really hard to make
    that argument when the short-term
    correlations hold up and support the
    argument that it is in fact a risk asset
    but that that can that can that can come
    apart right that that whole argument can
    come apart if we see differentiated
    performance I mean what one day where uh
    you know TCH or Tech dumping and Bitcoin
    puts in a $5,000 to the upside candle
    and we have a different conversation
    right and we’ve seen it kind of in both
    directions but this is the story of the
    day clearly Zuckerberg acts for patients
    as met as AI push Spooks investors
    overnight down as much as 19% I mean
    sizable move I remember when they went
    down 30 or 40% in a matter of 10 minutes
    that one time I believe last year but uh
    down 20% effectively because they’ve
    said they’re spending billions more
    dollars than anticipated or previously
    reported on AI and a lot of people who
    watch meta stock know that when it
    really turned around from the lows was
    when they cut expenses it wasn’t even
    about how much more money they were
    gonna make it was about how much more
    money they were going to save by getting
    rid of a staff you know and and so when
    they say hey we’re GNA spend a hell of a
    lot more
    money we obviously see this big drop
    overnight we’ve seen Nvidia showing
    weakness to your point a lot going on
    sort of in Tech and when these behemoths
    move they tend to move the
    market yeah I don’t know if if it’s my
    connection or yours but I think I lost
    you there for for a second but yeah I
    was just saying when these behemoths
    move they tend to move the whole market
    so one bad you know earnings and you
    know you see all Tech down right nid
    Nvidia has shown weakness before even
    this so now you’re starting to get all
    the red flags for Tech yeah and this in
    my view again somewhat predictable um
    the Market’s been too focused on like a
    handful of names for too long and
    everything else in the S&P is
    underperformed and so for a long time
    now I’ve been expecting the equal
    weighted S&P to start to outperform as
    some of these other sectors catch up to
    Tech and it could turn out that Tech is
    just the best industry in the world for
    the next 50 years that that might be
    true um but again Bitcoin is not a
    Technology stock it’s not a competitor
    of Microsoft or app not uh directly um
    and it would only take a short period of
    time where you know Bitcoin dramatically
    outperforms that group I think for
    people to recognize that in fact they’re
    not the same thing yeah I I I totally
    agree and we’ve had this notion that ETF
    inflows would be steady and would never
    end and would put in a guaranteed price
    floor for all time which we all know
    that with a rational thinking inflows
    can be outflows right and black rocks
    Bitcoin ETF snap 71 day inflow streak a
    lot of people panicking because they had
    one day where they were not having
    inflows but you know these are this is
    one of the longest streaks in history
    history of any ETF having steady inflows
    so I think one day is not caused for
    panic but of course it becomes a huge
    story right and we saw Net Daily inflow
    of 12 uh outflow excuse me of 120
    million yesterday so there are some
    people selling these yeah yeah and this
    was always uh I I just don’t think any
    of the stuff is going to matter I think
    what happens is people become maniacally
    focused on like the very very short term
    and of course by making shorter term
    predictions I I am participating in that
    game a little bit uh but I don’t
    recommend people trade on this other
    than to if they don’t have enough
    Bitcoin yet use any draw down any
    weakness at all to make sure you top up
    your position right like it’s not
    Financial advice but it sort of is right
    like you should probably own more
    Bitcoin and all things being equal you’d
    rather buy it at 62 or 63 than 73 um and
    if we see 55 or 50 you’d rather buy it
    there than at 90 um and so again like
    this my prediction is shorter term in
    nature like because I do think May and
    June are going to be quite good like
    between May and July at some point in
    that area there’s going to be a massive
    spike in my opinion in Bitcoin and the
    miners the miners are already sort of
    setting up for that you could see that
    since kind of Wednesday of of last week
    they’ll be down again today but they’re
    all up quite a bit like Riot rallied off
    of the high sevens to like 12 something
    yesterday I mean it was up more than 50%
    and like 4 four or five trading days I
    expect that those stocks can do 200 or
    300% uh in that window um and that’s
    something that I’m like gearing up and
    preparing for um because the leverage
    the operating leverage you get in the
    mining sector as Bitcoin goes up to 7080
    90k is significant and people forgot
    about it because the having was such a
    Negative Catalyst that was scaring
    people out in the future that they
    didn’t want to imagine you know what
    would happen to minor margins at 90k or
    100K it was too far away and that having
    was too guaranteed and too scary uh but
    that catalyst is gone now and so what
    I’ve been telling people is like the
    asymmetry is flipped over where for the
    last year year and a half in the mining
    sector is like what could go wrong right
    and if it could go wrong it probably
    would go wrong um what I think’s about
    to happen for the next 12 to 18 months
    is a lot of things that people aren’t
    expecting might go right like for
    example transaction fees might be higher
    uh than you expect bitcoin price might
    be higher than you expect Global hash
    rate might be lower than you expect and
    margins might be higher than you expect
    right and I think we’re going to see
    significant earnings in that group their
    earnings reports start in in a couple
    weeks from now in early may there’s a
    handful that are earlier than that I
    think we’re going to see significant Gap
    profitability in a bunch of those names
    I think those names will start showing
    up on traditional Equity investor
    screens um and I do think like now
    basically is going to be one of the last
    kind of loading zones this cycle for
    both those names and Bitcoin itself uh
    sure you can still buy it at 90 100K
    like if it goes to 90 or 100K I think
    Bitcoin can go to 150 or 200 but um from
    a risk standpoint risk management
    standpoint like I would rather see
    people uh take bigger positions now when
    the sentiment is negative and when
    people are a little bit afraid again
    than wait until there’s Euphoria like
    there was this guy who tweeted in your
    reply Scott I know you saw it he was
    like stop the madness stop with the
    predictions like wait and see what
    happens and I’m like well literally
    that’s what we do in investment markets
    we make predictions about the future
    right and and then we place our bets
    accordingly um and if you wait you’re
    just a spectator right you’re just a
    tourist you’re just watching um so
    anyway is what it is like PE people can
    say whatever they want but like it took
    a lot of conviction last year to be
    allocating heavily to bitcoin at 20 25
    30 but it was the right decision I
    continue to believe it’s the right
    decision now in spite of all the
    short-term negativity what invalidates
    the idea you know like obviously if you
    have a thesis and a premise and that
    something is going to happen for some
    people it’s a level on a chart I keep
    hearing you know if we lose 60 that’s it
    bare market right we’re below the range
    and that that’s one Theory but is there
    something fundamentally you could see or
    that could happen you know even outside
    of Bitcoin that could be significant
    enough some sort of Black Swan that
    would invalidate the idea that we might
    be going to you know 90 uh you know
    before 40 or something like that it
    depends on your time Horizon right I
    mean obviously the the prediction of 90
    in in May or June is not going to happen
    if there’s a global depression
    collapse that causes everybody to sell
    every asset they can into Fiat so that
    they can pay their bills um again like
    meta going down 16 18% is going to scare
    some people but it’s not the end of this
    economic cycle in my opinion it’s
    actually a healthy correction and
    rotation away from from something that’s
    worked really well uh for the past 15
    months um so I don’t think that’s going
    to happen but if if we were like in the
    fall of this year right or or end of
    this year and we were still at like 30
    or 40K Bitcoin I’d start to become
    concerned that that perhaps I’m wrong
    structurally about the value of
    Bitcoin uh in this current environment
    and in this economy um but I but I think
    that’s just really unlikely because the
    math of it says that as long as the
    governments around the world don’t stop
    printing don’t stop debasing don’t stop
    taking on Deb and running huge deficits
    that over time maybe not tomorrow or
    next week or even next month but over
    time then the price of Bitcoin and Fiat
    terms should go up um so the the only
    way you could really be wrong about that
    in my opinion over multi-year
    periods is if um austerity measures
    become like the most popular thing
    amongst governments globally um and
    again we’re in an election cycle in the
    US like we’re not going to see any
    significant austerity I actually think
    the the GDP numbers today and a little
    bit of slowdown around the edges will
    prompt Janet Yellen to have a
    conversation
    uh with Jerome Powell I do think that
    eventually rates are coming down it may
    not be in July as I originally thought
    it might be in like September uh but
    we’re we’re too early in the liquidity
    cycle in my opinion for for that to be a
    significant risk so yes if if uh
    bitcoin’s not at 90k by the end of call
    it um by the middle of June let’s say
    I’ll invalidate this specific prediction
    um but I won’t really just say 90k in
    October right I mean because that’s my
    like I for me as you said it’s a
    timeline issue because even if you
    ignore all of this and we just happen to
    fall right back into the four-year cycle
    we know that you get a having in four to
    six months of boring and then uh up in
    the fall I I’m not saying that will or
    won’t happen but that just becomes the
    next base case if it doesn’t happen
    sooner I mean the reality is nobody
    knows uh but but occasionally like for
    example last November I sat with a
    friend at a steakhouse here and I said
    in the next like couple weeks feels like
    the most high probability period
    uh you know for Bitcoin that I’ve ever
    seen right and and it went like through
    the weekend it went from like 36 37 38
    39 it was like low 40s in a week and it
    was just there was just a Confluence of
    different Technical and fundamental
    factors I think we’re sitting at a very
    similar area we might see like a few
    days of weakness as like follow through
    from this meta blow up and and some of
    the other stuff that’s going on with us
    tech stocks uh but I think as soon as
    next week like there’ll be a significant
    get move at some point and and I think
    it’s pretty simple like if we’re at
    75 uh in the next week or two then it’s
    sort of like becomes inevitable it’s
    amazing how quickly these things shift
    at 63 it looks like we’re going to 60 or
    55 right but if you get to 73 next week
    or the week after all of a sudden
    everyone’s going to flip positive and
    it’s so reflexive right everybody flips
    positive and it’s like oh it’s
    inevitable we’re going to 90 the hard
    part is to make that call on a day like
    today when it definitely has a more of a
    negative uh kind of Paul cast Over the
    market right you can kind of feel the
    negativity Brewing I mean that that’s
    yeah that’s why we get ranges right
    euphoric at the top and complete panic
    at the bottom when really nothing’s
    happening and that’s what we’ve seen in
    every one of these I mean this is that
    period you were talking about went from
    30 to 44 in just a matter of you know
    seven or eight weeks but then you had
    two months of consolidation with the
    same sort of sentiment that we had now
    where it was oh no if we lose 40 if we
    lose 40 we’re going back to 25 it was
    the same I’m not saying it will or won’t
    but it was the exact same conversation
    there were really smart people in that
    December consolidation where was
    bouncing between 40 and 43 who couldn’t
    believe that the ETF wasn’t priced in
    and I made the case repeatedly even to
    like other board members of companies
    I’m on like really sharp people and they
    just couldn’t imagine how Bitcoin could
    be that underpriced that it eventually
    would be a 60 or 70k uh price I said it
    could do that in a couple months um and
    so again every time this happens uh you
    know usually happens because a big chunk
    of the market doesn’t believe it’s
    possible so I think one of the most
    bullish factors right now is that even
    after I can rattle off a couple dozen
    reasons why it could go to 90k the vast
    majority of people won’t believe you and
    I I think that’s really healthy and I
    think as long as that continues we’re
    still in a bull market so if everybody
    agreed with me right now I would start
    to become concerned that we’re later in
    the cycle I think eventually when people
    see this consolidation and breakout
    pattern a few more times you’ll start to
    see more people just assume that it’s
    going to happen but at that price if we
    wait and see as the reply guy did said
    on your Tweet if we wait and see It’ll
    be 150 or 180 and that’s when he’ll all
    of a sudden not need to wait and see
    anymore he’ll just want to Pile in yeah
    I mean people always you know it’s the
    old memes that’s you know Bitcoin at
    19,000 nobody in line and then Bitcoin
    at 74,000 the huge crowd piling into the
    door I mean it’s just how how people I
    think operate I mean this is my favorite
    candle ever which is that ETF approval
    that you’re talking about right this
    from 41 all the way to 49 back and then
    down sweep the lows and there goes the
    ETF right so there’s so much emotion in
    each one of those candles what’s cool
    about a chart like that is it it it
    totally offis scates away like all of
    that emotion you could just see very
    clearly the reality of what price was in
    that moment I remember what each one of
    those candles felt like to be in the
    market and reading tweets and talking to
    other people and you know it’s turns out
    that like most people just don’t have
    enough conviction um they they lose
    Faith really really easily and and based
    on things that maybe have nothing to do
    with the fundamental thesis and that’s
    why I think it’s really important to
    have a deeper fundamental view on this
    sector like if you really go deep into
    Bitcoin and you develop a view on it you
    don’t get shaken out so easily by stuff
    that’s basically Shenanigans like you
    remember Israel fired some Rockets uh at
    at uh Iran and like the Market tanked
    but like you look back a week later and
    the and the price is back to where it
    was it was actually higher than before
    all that stuff uh happened and actually
    the more because it happened on a
    Saturday and that’s because it it was
    Iran firing missiles it happened on
    Saturday and the few people who needed
    something to sell or felt panicked they
    sell the one thing that they can sell on
    a Saturday well it happened twice Scott
    it happened when Iran fired and then it
    happened when Israel fired back and both
    of them were like uh you know formality
    type of things where it was like a
    warning it wasn’t they had no intention
    of starting a global war but the market
    at least for an hour or two acted like
    it was real until it kind of sniffed
    that out and realized it wasn’t but when
    you see an asset bounce like that every
    time there’s some sort of geopolitical
    event like you know that it’s gearing up
    it’s like building energy it’s coiling
    for its next move higher that once like
    the path is cleared it will do that and
    and usually has to wait until enough
    people kind of get liquidated or get
    pushed out and we’ve seen the funding
    levels negative
    here for a prolonged period people don’t
    want to take people don’t want to take
    long positions 200 something million
    dollars was was just liquidated on this
    most recent draw down from 66 to 63 like
    that’s insane I don’t know who’s
    gambling that much money on like
    short-term moves like they would make so
    much more money if they just bought and
    held spot Bitcoin right like you made 4X
    to Here by just holding it from you know
    January 1st of last year like well what
    more do you need uh but I get it there’s
    always going to be a gambling Instinct
    and it kind of drives the market it’s
    just not something that I’m that
    interested in yeah listen if you’ve been
    using you know 10x plus leverage for any
    time in this range you’ve gotten
    liquidated both ways right and there’s
    no reason for it at all if you’re
    sitting in spots very comfortable and we
    always have these stories but Bitcoin
    options worth over 6.3 billion set to
    expire tomorrow on derit we do tend to
    see this sort of volatility or Price
    pushing towards a max pain scenario when
    we have these options expires and right
    now we have a 68 put to call ratio I
    mean people are short like really short
    right
    now yeah and if they if they own a lot
    of puts then that can create pressure uh
    for the dealers right to to hedge also
    so yeah I mean look I I don’t think any
    of this is going to matter I I think
    it’s possible soon as next week Bitcoin
    is just like starting to Rally uh and
    when it starts to move up it’s again
    it’ll feel pre-programmed it’ll feel
    like it’s just on a line and it doesn’t
    really matter what the news flow is and
    it doesn’t really matter what the NASDAQ
    is doing like as long as the NASDAQ
    isn’t down 40% in the next month or 20%
    in the next month or 30% then I think
    bitcoin’s going higher and potentially
    substantially higher uh so that’s my
    call we’ll see like if we if you want to
    revisit this in kind of mid mid June I
    think we’ll know by then whether or not
    this was the call I think May will be
    particularly good but it may take until
    June or July to get up into the 90 or
    100K level but I think that’s where
    we’re headed
    I can tell you anecdotally from Twitter
    and certainly from the chat that I’m
    actively watching while we’re talking
    that people are just overly bearish for
    the actual situation which to me is
    always kind of just interesting to watch
    the sentiment I mean how long are we
    going to watch the market slowly drop
    and continue to use such bullish video
    titles the market is still just in a
    sideways range on any given day at 66
    it’s 63 it’s 60 it’s 69 the market is
    not slowly dropping it’s consolidating
    side ways and people capitulate because
    we don’t make a new high every single
    day today’s price action does not change
    Mike’s conviction of what might happened
    in two months yep and it does it
    definitely doesn’t change it over five
    years right and again like my my time
    Horizon is five or 10 years on bitcoin
    it always has been um like a big most of
    the Bitcoin I own today was acquired in
    in the end of 2018 right and going into
    2019 right so the vast majority of the
    Bitcoin I hold was acquired five or six
    years years ago right so I held all the
    way through going all the way up to 70
    and all the way back down to to 16 right
    so like I’m not selling because we are
    going from 66 to 63 because I think
    we’re ultimately getting to a million
    dollars in within 10 years um and that
    interests me a lot more like candidly
    $5,000 Bitcoin moves don’t change
    anything in my life because if you’re
    not liquidating any of your coins and
    you’re not spending them then it doesn’t
    really matter like the price on the
    screen is just the price on the screen
    you could choose to act on it uh but I
    would argue that most people shouldn’t
    like Bitcoin is this really really
    unique collateral asset um is super
    pristine it’s got beautiful monetary
    policy it can’t be disrupted like why
    would you trade that away for Fiat right
    now like it just seems crazy to me but I
    just have to point out that like this is
    the sentiment is that we’re dropping
    like that we’re dumping zoom out guys
    we’re at 177,000 in November of 22 this
    has been up only with some sideways
    consolidation in the middle but you’re
    going to get bearish because we’re
    sideways for a little while just think
    about that like there will be a top and
    you’ll be correct but we’re we’re up
    multiples you know 4X on a huge asset
    from the bottom and we’re talking about
    slow bleed you shouldn’t be bullish I
    mean it’s I’m trying to help you guys
    not uh yeah this guy says Scott is
    triggered because he’s losing so much
    you’re literally watching a YouTube
    video and complaining about the content
    that you’re choosing to watch I mean
    think about that for a second because
    you can’t handle the fact that someone
    thinks price is going to go up then then
    then short well Bitcoin isy is up
    42.8% uh year to date and the S&P as
    going in today was only up
    6.97% right um so so bitcoin’s beating
    the S&P by 6X and the S&P is going to
    drop again today I mean so the the
    Bitcoin drop is already priced into that
    year-to date number right because we
    already know bitcoin’s going to be down
    today we already know the minors are
    going to be down today again doesn’t
    really matter though because uh what
    really matters is like what does the
    Bitcoin price do over the next one two
    three four five six quarters during what
    should be kind of the peak of the of the
    next Bull cycle for Bitcoin and and
    historically those numbers always
    surprise people to the upside like like
    the way I think about it really simply
    is I think there’s probably 10 or 15K of
    downside Max and that’s probably like
    I’m probably being too bearish in saying
    that because realistically maybe 55k is
    the bottom so you’ve got like 8K of
    downside and you’ve got something like
    200 50k of upside from here so something
    like 30 times the upside to the downside
    um generally when you see those types of
    setups it’s like it’s sports betting
    like you don’t necessarily have to know
    the winner of each game but if you take
    bets where you have a slightly positive
    expectation a 100 times you might only
    get 51% right or 53 3% right but if you
    take those positive expected value
    setups you tend to make money over time
    it’s about systematically compounding
    your capital and to me this is that high
    value the super high value area uh for
    long-term holders of Bitcoin like if
    you’re if you want to add or you need a
    new position like you you basically want
    to start taking it as aggressively as
    you can now because again even if you go
    to 55 if you’re at 90 or 100 in three
    months or two months then what’s the
    difference yeah I mean a uh pool where a
    big a kind of a high money high stakes
    pool where we bet on every single NFL
    game of the entire season on a spread
    and consistently the person who wins
    that pool hits about 53 54% against a
    spread right exactly right so I mean
    exactly the same with trading I just it
    makes me laugh at the same people who
    will say you have to buy the dip always
    buy the dip then when the dip comes say
    buying buying Bitcoin buying Bitcoin is
    like being the house
    right because it’s pre-programmed to be
    better than than the Fiat currencies
    that are being printed so the smartest
    thing you can do with is just own it you
    don’t you don’t have to be so cute you
    don’t have to pick every top every
    bottom you don’t even have to do timing
    like yeah we’re we’re I’m making a
    prediction on timing because I pretty
    confident that we’re we’re gonna make a
    move in the next 30 to 60 days but in
    the long run it won’t matter right it
    doesn’t matter when it goes to 90 it
    just matters that it does go to 90 um
    and as long as it goes to 90 there’s a
    pretty good chance it’s going to 100 if
    it goes to 100 there’s a pretty good
    chance it’s going to 150 and so on and
    so forth and so like you should just be
    the house with Bitcoin you don’t have to
    you don’t have to catch every top or
    bottom you don’t have to make every
    right trade I think everybody who’s
    tried to do that ends up with less
    Bitcoin later on yeah absolutely I know
    you have to go but this just made me
    laugh as I was looking at at it I don’t
    know if you saw this but the buy Bitcoin
    sign from Yellen got auctioned off and
    just went for over over a million
    dollars this was the thing but I just
    want to show you guys who the bit Wales
    are uh this is the guy who bought it
    with this this guy’s appearance with
    that PIN you is the dude who uh spent a
    million dollars to buy this sign there’s
    just so much wealth in Bitcoin that
    nobody knows about with people who have
    been holding this and just don’t give a
    and aren’t on a Forbes list and
    never come out in public this is the guy
    I mean if you saw that guy on the street
    you might throw him 50 cents or or a
    dollar and he’s buying uh buy Bitcoin
    signs for a million bucks I just love it
    Bitcoin is still a non-consensus trade
    with the masses and that’s a beautiful
    thing like as long as that’s the case
    it’s still going to be a good bet it’s
    the moment that everybody agrees like
    everybody agrees that Nvidia and meta
    are great companies like the moment that
    everybody agrees on that it will no
    longer uh have the same upside
    opportunity as it did before so enjoy
    these times enjoy the times where people
    are bearish and they don’t think it’s
    going to work I mean these are good
    times yeah this is the time to buy all
    right man Mike I appreciate it thank you
    for coming and laying that out uh and
    listen we’ll just be back in two months
    and if it’s at 50 we’ll adjust and if
    it’s at 90 we’ll say I told you so it’s
    easy sounds good all right man guys
    please follow Mike Alfred absolutely
    incredible Alpha on X and Beyond and
    just one of my favorite follows and
    always so steady so appreciate that man
    thank you all right
    thanks all right guys now before we uh
    head on to Dan CH guy who I’ve you know
    we haven’t been able to do it for a
    while because I’ve been traveling
    obviously G to tell you guys about Lumar
    in once again and now I’m realizing I
    need to like bring this up because if
    you want to know like literally why I
    care about this uh this platform and why
    uh I have accepted them as a sponsor I
    would just say you need to absolutely
    listen I guess I got to run this but uh
    you just got to watch this podcast I I
    had a podcast with Ryan uh their CEO who
    obviously from Titan Mining and they’re
    they’re partners with uh block Matthew
    Rose in those guys but here’s why you
    need to buy Bitcoin before countryes
    start fighting for it a deep
    conversation that he and I had great
    numbers people constantly from my
    regular life telling me holy crap I
    listened to that it was amazing you just
    got to listen to it and it will tell you
    exactly why something like Lumin is so
    important decentralizing truly
    decentralizing everything right because
    when you dig in and you see how
    centralized even Bitcoin mining is and
    certain aspects of Bitcoin Point are
    it’s important that we support people
    who are working hard to decentralize
    things like hash rate to decentralize
    things like AI to allow you control
    yourself there’s no reflink here there’s
    no affiliate there’s no nothing it’s
    just a platform that I think is amazing
    and worth checking out what they’re
    building and listening to Ryan uh who
    I’ve become friends with and really like
    so I just ask you guys check out lin.
    they’re incredible uh and definitely
    worth your time to to give a look now
    Dan are we nuts
    90k see yeah I mean it’s it’s just fine
    right now as you mentioned you know the
    the last Friday was a big tell for me
    bouncing right off 59 when the NASDAQ
    and semiconductors were dumping uh
    that’s your everything’s just fine at
    this point in time indicator and yes
    things can change but again even like
    the monthly time frame eventually we’re
    going to see monthly consolidation and
    there’s tons of space for a monthly
    higher low so we just have to remember
    where we came from let’s pull up the
    monthly real quick again just straight
    up for for however many months and we
    did that last time and granted that’s
    eventually what led to a top but uh that
    monthly consolidation led to a
    significant amount of upside as well
    that’s another 100% plus after setting a
    monthly high or low so it all depends on
    your time Horizon if you’re on the
    hourly chart right now yeah it’s bearish
    but uh you just gotta zoom out a little
    bit as you mentioned and you know the
    most important thing for me is is can we
    hold a daily higher low into next week
    and that’s what today and tomorrow are
    going to be about uh for both Bitcoin
    and the NASDAQ but uh you know it’s
    about 50 60% retracement at this point
    and we need a new support you know 59
    has been doing a good job but we want
    something a little higher than 59 so we
    can start progressing forward if these
    Bulls are going to regain that control
    in the short
    term so uh it doesn’t upset you that uh
    every single candle is not green so
    every red one doesn’t mean that the top
    has to be in and it’s all over and that
    uh my my titles are too hyperbolic and
    I’m smoking bull
    rocks I haven’t heard that one no I just
    made it up I made that up right that’s
    good smoking bull rocks um yeah I mean
    weekly em2 has been my guide for a very
    long time and we’ve been holding that
    for six months at this point and we’re
    still testing it we’re not out of the
    woods but uh again it’s it’s not like
    you mentioned the Doom and Gloom for
    where we stand it’s like man don’t you
    guys remember don’t you remember when we
    30% plus like yeah and I actually made a
    tweet recently where the The Who Song
    Eminence Front you know people forget is
    a line that they keep repeating and
    every time you get a little bit of red
    after a lot of green people forget
    people forget what it’s like and that’s
    where these liquidations come from
    people get overly aggressive and forget
    how easy it is to pull back 20% in the
    crypto space so again it’s you know into
    next week can we set a daily high or low
    and try and shape up a daily uptrend or
    do we head back down at test 59,000
    again
    and even if 59,000 breaks that just
    means zoom out to the monthly and for me
    that would mean okay now we can
    consolidate for a number more months but
    again even that wouldn’t be the end of
    the world from a longer term bull
    perspective it’s happened every I’m not
    saying the having cycle will repeat but
    that has happened every single having
    cycle four to six months of super boring
    and then literally parabolic upside if
    you guys can’t wait four to six months
    uh without panicking and soiling
    yourself then you shouldn’t be
    here agreed yeah so what else do you got
    I mean obviously I think we all agree
    Bitcoin is chopping sideways right we’re
    sort of consolidating in this 74 to 60
    or 59 is as you said range want to see a
    higher low there we just got to watch
    and wait and see right now what happens
    with Bitcoin so what else are you
    watching uh at the moment while we’re
    sort of waiting honestly I had not
    looked at binance in a long time it’s
    looking really good its weekly chart is
    even stronger than Bitcoin right now way
    stronger I was at that this morning I
    mean B&B’s up 12% this week yeah and and
    you look at you know how many altcoins
    are have a a b have a BTC pairing that
    is at nine Monon highs and you can’t see
    many that are there and this is you know
    but BNB BTC is at its highest level
    since June of last year and uh yeah it’s
    just standing out to me and another
    thing you know anytime I love Blue Sky
    breakouts as you know and and anytime
    something is near alltime highs to me
    that just means it warrants extra
    attention and this sideways range we are
    chopping around just under alltime highs
    and uh yeah I’m just honestly I was just
    I looked at this hadn’t looked at it in
    weeks and was like why am I not hearing
    more about binance and how strong it is
    technically speaking and so I just found
    that interesting I could tell you a sad
    story so I I very rarely listen to other
    people when it comes to my analysis but
    if you guys recall at the bottom of BNB
    it looked like things were going to be
    terrible for binance and there was
    really no path forward uh before there
    was kind of the resolution and my friend
    ran from Crypt banter he kept telling me
    man you just got to sell the B&B you
    have he’s like he publicly had sold his
    CZ unfollowed him he was like man you
    know there’s just no way there like
    there’s no path forward for this token I
    think almost everyone agreed that and I
    sold mine sub
    300 so that’s the way it goes yeah just
    just those sentiment cycles and yeah
    looking really good now we’ll see I mean
    it’s a kind of setup where you know even
    if we pull back from here we’re just
    going to keep tightening up for a while
    and uh again it’s that Weekly ema2 I
    just love it as a guide where I love
    making things simple in trading because
    trading can be very complex you got all
    the indicators all the different things
    we’re looking at but when I can just say
    if this red line is holding there’s
    nothing to worry about it just makes
    things so simple and and then I can say
    all right well if we lose the red line
    ema2 then I take a step back and I
    reassess the situation because things
    have changed but if it’s not not
    breaking it then nothing changes and I
    don’t need to reassess because it’s full
    bull
    control yeah I I totally agree totally
    agree I I mean it’s not listen it’s a
    surprise in hindsight because things
    look so bad for binance but once it was
    cleaned up it’s not a surprise at all
    because it’s still a massive exchange
    that’s Now sort of oper operating in a
    regulatorily positive environment with
    the spotlight on them so I you can like
    it again I would you know it was a back
    then on what would happen to binance you
    know and so uh was wrong but I’m glad I
    was wrong because I you know a world
    with a uh binance that’s operating
    properly is a better world for crypto I
    think you know um so fundamentally so it
    seems you got at least one or two more
    things up there yeah I’m keeping an eye
    out on the miners uh and if I weren’t on
    this call with you right now I’d
    probably be buying this gap down on Riot
    this morning but uh I just the relative
    strength was was really nice here over
    the last few days and it’s pretty much a
    bu the news event you know these miners
    got absolutely trashed into the having
    and then the having happens and we see
    this rocket ship off the lows and uh it
    was it’s you know we reach a point where
    nobody’s left to sell nobody’s left to
    short and we hit the the having you know
    bearish for for revenue or whatever
    event and it’s just all Bulls squeezing
    some shorts and and I love when that
    kind of action happens that surprises
    the market but then you learn about what
    does priced in mean and things like that
    and uh yeah I’m looking for daily higher
    lows to be the most likely scenario on
    these miners I started paying attention
    to CSK more because it’s had some solid
    relative strength so I’m going to be
    keeping an eye out for potential swing
    entries looking for daily higher lows
    and just being really patient and and
    the most uh notable thing for me is you
    look at Riot divided by m and this past
    week on Monday was the biggest shift
    between these two names that you know M
    has been outperforming Riot for a very
    long time and Monday that shifted very
    drastically and so that caught my
    attention in terms of well now maybe
    Riot’s going to go back to being uh the
    bull to pay attention to it’s a bit too
    soon to say but I’m just fascinated
    watching these miners trade around and
    as a Trader you know there’s plenty of
    volatility in both directions which uh
    is all I ask for and and they’re
    certainly giving it over the last couple
    of months I mean I know Mike’s opinion
    aligned with that uh specifically about
    you know miners hitting that sort of of
    low at that moment and I’ve even seen
    reports Bernstein I know Alliance
    Bernstein they said miners were a good
    buy and it was either a JP Morgan or
    Morgan Stanley Morgan and Morgan the
    attorneys I don’t know some kind of
    Morgan uh that was saying the same thing
    that you know this is kind of a moment
    uh we’ll see I guess we’ll separate the
    wheat from the chaff to whatever degree
    and see which miners are strong and
    which are not but those that are
    fundamentally strong this should be
    their moment yeah could be potential you
    know consolidation of the the sector to
    to allow for some some leaders to
    clearly uh be standing when the dust
    settles one thing I want to point out
    technically speaking uh just a little
    trade lesson is you know I used to early
    on in my trading career would see
    support break and that’s bearish but
    oftentimes now I’m I’m realizing more
    and more you can see a key level break
    and if there’s no follow through you can
    look in the opposite direction and clsk
    just did that where you know you’ve got
    the clear support that everybody’s
    watching you break it there’s no follow
    through and then you vshape and I’m
    watching you know things like Baba I
    haven’t been paying attention to these
    Chinese names for a very long time but
    it looks like a little bit of yob
    accumulation where you’ve got this base
    of support it breaks with zero follow
    through into the vshape and so
    oftentimes I look for a break with no
    acceptance to to be a signal to look in
    the other direction and so uh clsk and
    and Baba let’s see if the Bulls can
    confirm daily uptrends from here and try
    and make our way back to highs over the
    last handful of months yeah those are
    those deviations are favorites to a lot
    of traders that I follow uh actually on
    on X and elsewhere sort of those like
    depending on the time frame like if you
    put that on a weekly maybe not that one
    but it looks like a wick below and ends
    up being sort of a sweep of the lows
    before price heads up so if you zoom out
    on a monthly I guarantee that shows that
    it’s a wick below support or something
    you know so um really good Alpha there
    and something that I’ve started to watch
    a lot more too because the minute you
    break that support we know that trigger
    shorts and and it liquidates Longs right
    and so that’s guaranteed liquidity if
    somebody’s trying to fill a huge
    position they might even be the one
    pushing it to that level that’s why we
    get those sort of sweeps of the lows the
    whale games but uh those games are much
    easier to play in Bitcoin and crypto

    1. Amazon Prime Video may team up with the NBA after this season.. NBA’s 40 year contract is ending with TNT at the end of this season.. who will they team up with next?? 👀

    2. Maybe it goes sideways or down in summer, but it peaks only in June-July, and before that it pumps like crazy in May. Next few months will be euphoric, forget about deeper corrections. Stock market is already oversold, put/call ratio near extreme levels, May is historically bullish for tech stocks (if earnings come out good). Bitcoin will probably chop around here and close month negatively (first time in 8 months), then to the moon! And even if there is a larger correction in the future, it will happen above previous ATH, that's where BTC.D dumps and altseason kicks in. So the fun is just getting started…It's not about guessing the market's next move; it's about playing it smart and steady during trading…managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 432k in the space of a few months… I'm especially grateful to Tobias Hawke, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.

    3. maaan, i'm tired, I want profit NOW, I want to live now, I want to spent now, what's the use of having 1,000,000 at 65 years of age, I'm 44, my time is already running out, there is no time. SELL ALL, SPENT ALL, GUYS, this waiting for Bitcoin to reach 1,000,000 is useless.

    4. Mike is brilliant. American investors timeline is one week. Warren Buffet’s is 10 years plus. Money flows from the impatient to the patient.

    5. I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Julie Brown.

    6. Watching the crypto market's ups and downs shows how quickly things can change. The recent misinformation incident reminds us that external factors can shake things up. In crypto, strategic, informed trading isn't a choice; it's a must. Remember, caution is as crucial as ambition here. Stay alert, diversify, and let's ride this unpredictable market together. At the core is Whitney Eston, whose deep understanding of crypto and traditional trading is key. Her all-encompassing investment approach and staying updated on trends make her a valuable ally in this crypto era..

    7. Hit 200k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with 14k in last month this 2024 investing with Elizabeth Wesley.

    8. Enjoy you having Mike on. He presents insight to the masses with cool and calm. Much of it seems to make sense. So for retail folk like myself it helps me mentally cope with the volatility in the Miners. This is a mentally strong community and I’m proud to be apart of it for this cycle
