Transcript

When Bitcoin came back down, alt started to move. We saw Ripple at $3.6 break in an all time high. When it comes to what you should be looking at, you should definitely be looking at newer coins. When you start having a harsher correction in Bitcoin, like consistent 30% pullback, then put about 40% pullback. That's when the market's cost been done.

The content presented in this podcast is intended for informational and educational purposes only. It should not be considered as financial advice, and listeners are encouraged to conduct their own research or consult with a qualified professional before making any investment decisions. Crypto flip. Converted my life savings €140,000 into USDC in November 2024 and bought ETH for $3,600. Yep.

Because of crypto Twitter calling for alt season, watched it later in disbelief going to $1,400. On top of that, USD lost a lot of value against the euro. So my freight even is now ETH at $4,100. The little cycle what? Yeah.

So he got screwed in a lot of different ways, man. Hey. I'm just gonna throw this out there. Well done for doing that conversion because most man wouldn't have. And they'd have just thought that 3,600 ETH is back to your euro dollar amount.

But my advice to you, bro, is just hold in there because ETH will fly. Like, maybe look at it over five term five years like a five year term. Stick it out and eventually ETH would reach a new all time high. Like, I can't imagine it not. So just stick it out, man.

Yo. Eat matches are losing faith. Like, it's crazy. It's crazy. Listen.

This post here, I think I will always I think we've we've had many posts like this this year. And what I've learned from this post is in every cycle, whether the beginning, middle, or end, you wanna try and make sure you're Bitcoin heavy. Like, at the end of the day, Bitcoin is king firm. And, yes, there'll be time where, like, ETH will flip Bitcoin, But it will only be for a short period of time. But it will only be for probably a period of a month max.

And then you know what happens in that month is all season. When the moment when it surpasses Bitcoin and dominance, you'll know for a fact everyone's bidding, take a mad risk doing crazy fundraising. So, like, the what this tells me is you need to be holding more Bitcoin than anything else in your portfolio, especially when it comes to when you need to derisk from the market. And, yes, it was crude having some USD and then I was all old in. It it could be much worse honestly.

Like, I think, eventually, he will make these games back because I think he will probably touch AK soon. Maybe not now, but the next, say, two quarters. But if he managed to hold, I think he'll be good. So I think he's just keep holding. It was done, it's done anyway.

There's no point in now chasing the next thing, trying to now circle back to Bitcoin. It's too late. Just stick stick to Ethan. Once you're up, once you realize your losses, or once you whatever two x, three x, make sure you take profit. Harris.

Yeah. I mean, the funniest thing I think about this, confession is that you blame crypto tour. Now I think crypto tour is guilty of a lot of things, but this one you're gonna have to take on ahead. When alt season comes, you will know about it. And just because alt season is here, it doesn't mean that everything is also gonna fly.

So yeah. I mean, you've got some way to go back to breaking even, but I think if you stick it out for the long term, if you think five, ten years in that time horizon, you'll be fine. So you could be doing a lot worse. Obviously, it is your life savings of over a €100,000 and a 140,000 to be exact. But, yeah, I don't think you need to take unnecessary risks to actually get it all back.

But, but, yeah, I'm sure you'll be fine. But welcome back to the CryptoFlip podcast. I am your host, Harris King, and I am joined once again with my co hosts, Ricardo and Deji. Don't forget to like, comment, subscribe. And if you're listening on audio platforms, don't forget to leave a review.

And, yeah, we are back again with something different today. So we're gonna be doing a market update. So we've been seeing a lot of strength in the market, but recently, we've been seeing, a bit of a pullback, across the entire crypto market, with Bitcoin sort of retreating a little bit as well as a lot of the major alts that have been showing signs of strength. But what does that mean moving forward? What types of positions should you be taking, and what types of things should you be investing in?

That's what we'll be exploring today. So what do you mean make of that? Let's start with where the market is right now. So, yeah, like Harry said, the market, you know, hit a mad high, especially Bitcoin, what the entire crypto market hit a mad high, it was over 4,000,000,000,000, which is a new all time high. And that new all time high was paired with Bitcoin hitting $1.23.

But coming back down, when Bitcoin came back down, all started to move, we saw ripple at $3.6 breaking an all time high, I think there's debate whether the ripple all time high is 3.58. Or whether it's 3.85. Depending on which chart you look at, you might see different results, which is unlike crypto. But let's say that, XRP made a new all time high. If west from what, 2,000 lose 1,800, 1,500 all the way up to 3,000, 700 or 800 right now is sitting about 3,600, which is, which is still very, very good.

We saw, BNB print a new all time high. We we're still seeing hyper liquid sitting around all time highs. I think the pullback that we're currently dealing with, I was aware of was coming, basically just based on the fact that I'm I'm just about, like, I'm I'm on I'm on the charts constantly. I'm like, I can see a pullback probably about 10%. And even knowing this, I still fully allocated about three days ago.

So I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna see 10% down, in the short term, and I'm just looking at it now. And, yeah, we're about 8% down. But what I don't want, yeah, is to think in my head, I'm gonna time this market. I'm gonna wait until, let's say, ETH drops back down to 3,200, then I'm gonna allocate instead of buying that $3,506,100. Because the madder thing about crypto is all it takes here is one sleep, like one seat.

You go bed, you're like, all right. Yeah. It's still about 3,000. Yeah, it's still about 3,400. Like, Yeah.

I'm just gonna wait until it hits 3,200 before I jump in. And then you wake up the next morning, 4 and a half grand. And, bro, that's not even that's not even exaggeration because Eve came up so quick. It's like, literally, it was two sleeps and one sleep, 2,000. Two sleeps, 3,000.

Three Steve, 3,500. Come on. I'm just like, yeah, I'm I'm not even about to try and time the market in my head. Like, this is it. Like, the market is in an upward regime.

Bear things are moving. Bear positive news online. The Genius Act getting passed. X y z happening. Like, it would just have to take a black swan event for me to completely lose faith, in where the market's going right now.

And because I'm not using leverage, I'm just like 10% down is 10% down. It's not like a 100% y up at 10 x leverage. So yeah. So that's me. I'm like, I I could see a 10% reversal correction.

Sorry. But I just feel like I'm gonna fully allocate anyway because I don't wanna miss the massive leg up. And now I'm just in it for the leg up. My guess is I'm in it for the leg up. Don't care if I'm 10% down.

Of course you don't care, man. When you think long term, I think 10% is nothing because, I mean, it could easily go four x, over a long period of time. But, yeah. I mean, the market has been interested as as you may have eloquently stated. I think we've had this valley this valley the moment we consolidated over a $100 and we're topping around $1.00 4, that would have been a sweet trade to enter, I think.

That's when if you're even a spot buyers, if you're a pet traders like myself, that would have been a good place to start building positions too. Obviously, right now right now, I'm looking at Bitcoin prices. $118,702. I I, like, I wouldn't start building leverage here. I think what you probably what we could probably do is if like, I think this market I think this valley, we won't know if it's done or not until we see the next retest of that that that steep high because we well, we closed below we haven't really closed below on a weekly below, below that one eighteen area.

I think that one eighteen area, if we close below that, then we'll look at market structure, and that's not good. But I think what you probably see is bulls will step in latest tomorrow, and then they'll defend this area, and they will push back up on Bitcoin, East, XRP, and then I think also continue to fly. But the next three days will continue to tell the story. I think what we channel what we're seeing so far is, like, the this this value has been again, I think the obviously, indicators say saying, you know what I mean? Retail's back.

There's increased interest on Google's Google Trends and this liquidity charts that you can kind of see that returns on the common. Backing a lot, majority of this rally was driven by institutional investors just you know what I mean? Using BTC as a, as a hedge against that de develerization and, you know, and then more and more companies continue to do that even with SUI, with ETH. So, that's why I feel like this prompt is sustained, especially if you have a healthy callback of 10% or more. I think that is within the plan to obviously try and bad a dip.

So, I'm looking for entries, to transcripts from trades in, spot, perhaps, wherever. I think this is a this is a bit where I feel like it's a easy bit. You don't have to force it because, you know, this is a good place to buy my opinion. So, yeah, that's what I'd say. Harris?

Yeah. I think that what what you touched on is is very, very important that it is mainly driven by institutional investors, and that's one of the reasons why I'm still bullish for the rest of this bull because retail hasn't come back into the market yet. We haven't, you know, got your grandmas calling you up and be like, oh, yeah. How do I buy Bitcoin on on Coinbase or whatever? Obviously, we've had some stuff earlier in the market, but, I still think they're gonna come back in towards the very, very end of the market when we get that sort of parabolic blow off top event, and I don't think we've had that just yet.

That's assumed that obviously we follow previous cycles, but I still think we'll still see that side of the market. So what do you do now? I saw a question in our community, I think yesterday, that was basically asking, you know, what to buy, what Altcoins should you buy, should you buy Altcoins? These are important questions. And I sort of responded, and I'll sort of give a a highlight in terms of what my response was in my my channel and within the group.

So, obviously, the important thing to know is that after ETH pumps, traditionally, all coins tend to follow because the money from ETH flows back into all its alts. And, you know, the the typical way that it is is ETH, large card auths, and then you have small cap auths. And obviously, you've got memes now as well as part of that equation. Obviously, yes, you've had some a lot of the Dyno stuff doing well. But when it comes to what you should be looking at, you should definitely be looking at newer coins.

Now the question is, should you be buying alts now? I think that if you're if you're acting on the trade and things have pulled back, then it could be a good opportunity to get in. Obviously you don't want to catch a falling knife. So when you see some sideways action, I think it's probably a bit more of a a better time to, to, to jump in or a reversal. Because yeah, you don't want it.

You don't want to be on the end of that. So, yeah, it's, it's definitely, an interesting opportunity to jump in if you haven't already got your exposure. If you've got your exposure, you don't need to panic. But, yeah, as I said in that post as well, don't be married to your bags if you see, because this is just a game of probabilities. If you see that things, because this very well could be the end of the market.

I highly doubt it. But if it is, don't be afraid to cut your losses. You know? I I I highly doubt it. I think we're 60% through the bull market brands called, progression.

Honestly. And the reason why I'm saying that again is if you're asking me, let me if you if I'm forced to answer, the the liquidity the external liquidity from institution institution of buying is insane. Like, it's so insane that if Tesla dumped the 150,000,000 bag of Bitcoin, the market wouldn't react. Like, the market won't be like, oh, I'm panic selling. Because another company would just scoop up the bird that that purchase at another company.

And these are all this is these aren't just normal company. These are companies raising debt or using their own cash to build position a Bitcoin because they're afraid of that the dollarization of that then the value of dollar going down because, you know, I mean, Trump hasn't really fixed that. I mean, him doing all the time stuff hasn't really helped with the devalue of dollar. So it's just I don't see stopping. And I said, like, I mean, usually, when you feel like when I when I know when the I know the bull market is over, when you start having a harsher correction in Bitcoin, like, consistent 30% pullback than for about 40% pullback.

That's when the market's been done because the the catapult or cascade of those two kind of pullbacks is basically a bear market, essentially. So, yeah, I don't think we're near the end of the market here, but we are further along for the beginning than the end. Yeah. I don't I don't think we're we're at the end of the market necessarily, but I'm just saying that you have to take every possibility into account. For example, when we hit 68 in the last cycle, people thought, oh, yeah.

We can reach 100 k before things, you know, can change. 100%. One one hundred also related yet. Take your time. Yeah.

So what what what are you guys are you guys gonna be buying anything, or what's your what's your strategy now? I'll go first. Oh, Rick, you wanna go first. Listen. I'm raising debt.

Oh. Oh, okay. Don't I'm raising debt, bro. Over the next six to eight months, this is it. It's make or break.

If it works, brilliant. If it doesn't, I'll just keep running the business. That's that's just it, bro. Like yeah. Mhmm.

Listen. Listen. I listen. Listen. That is bullish signal right there, fam.

Rick doesn't like debt, bro. If he's raising debt, that means he's all in fam. You know, when you're in a casino, you know, you got the the the golden hand, then you go all in. You you know it's time. But, yeah, I mean, raising debt, that's that's a that's a strategy if you know how to manage your risk.

But I think, honestly, man, like, like, also literally far from their all time high. They're not even near the recent all time power this year all time high. The only thing that's closer to is probably so and ETH and XRP. Other than those other than those I know. Yeah.

I know. I know. I know. I know. I know.

I know. BNB and Bitcoin. Those five those five beasts, if you remove them from the the whole chart, like, so many are still, like, heavily discounted. Look like the top main coins, maybe not has been obviously been showing tremendous trend throughout the entire cycle. But I think I mean, if you're looking to get into things, this is such a good place to start doing some spot accumulation.

I you know what I mean? Like, because I know people have given up on ETH. I know people are getting them all season, but it's gonna happen. Whether it's gonna be in or not. I think all corners, we will get out all corners season.

But for all corners to happen, we need ETH showing strength above 5 k. I mean, that's when real all coin season starts. And I don't think we get that until we get more QE than QT because I see I see the Fed offloaded the balance sheet, but not a faster enough pace for me to be like, we'll definitely. So, yeah, spot spot spot and just try and be ready because this is it. Because I think we we we are almost out of correction and pullbacks for you to obviously start thinking about taking position.

I think all coins are there. In two, three months when all coins are flying or in in in in, you shouldn't be like, oh, man. I was waiting for what's today's date is July? Come on. No financial advice.

Honestly. Well, with that being said, we will see you guys in the next one. Peace.
