[music] >> Hey folks, Nick Valdez here, chief crypto strategist over here at Verified Investing, and welcome to Crypto Revealed, where we're going to be going over the Bitcoin charts, XRP, Cardano hype, as well as a major, major chart that we're going to check in on on XLM, and I'm even going to talk about the trade that I opened today. So, I just want to say thank you for joining. This concludes my first full week making content over here at Verified Investing. I'm loving Florida so far, and I'm just loving the response from you from you guys in the Verified Investing community, and I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, sincerely. So, let's go ahead and jump into the charts, though. We got to lead things off with Bitcoin, as usual. And Bitcoin hitting our target perfectly. Now, it did wick below, but watch what happens when I zoom in into this 4-hour chart on this descending parallel channel. Look at that. You have Bitcoin trying to beat through the door. It is punching at the ceiling as we as we speak and as we look at it right now. Let's go back to the daily. Now, we have a couple targets. One to the downside, one to the upside. We still have the resistance at 66K. You're just going to see a lot of daily closes around in this range in the February and March and even in the to the beginning of April. And to the downside, our next level of support is going to be this descending trend line. Now, if you'll see this descending trend line capped the rally within this parallel range, and then ended up creating a nice little support zone. And so, if we do fall down and lose this range, I am expecting, you know, a maybe a nice little bounce on this level of support. But folks, as you can see right here, the weekend equals low liquidity. It's going to be illiquid on the weekends cuz crypto is not like the stock market. Crypto 24/7, but a lot of traders, they're not trading on a Saturday, they're not trading on a Sunday, and so you're going to have heightened volatility on these weekends. And yes, I know the suit's not on today, but it's casual Friday, everybody. So, if you're feeling casual, go ahead and smash that like button. Now, let's get into the next chart, everybody. That's going to be Ethereum. We have to check back in on our levels here again. Now, we talked about this 18-19 level, which was the February 6 pivot low. You can see it right here, sliced right through, created a nice little support zone, but then quickly flipped to resistance. Beat down on the price, and it beat down on the price a couple more times before price was able to shoot above, and then found this rejection that we pointed out. This is from 2021 and 2022. You just see a lot of levels, and you can also see some recent price action in that range as well. But, watch what happens when we go to the 4-hour chart. Look how clean that is. We're beating against it, and now you can see one, two, three different candles have wicked into this area, and now the fourth candle on the 4-hour is trying to turn bullish. So, keep an eye out on Ethereum. If we do continue the bounce, I'm still expecting a little bit of resistance at this 1930 level, but if we fall down, of course, we're looking at this descending trend line as the next level of support. That's just going to be catching the tops here. Where you end up seeing the rally stall out, that creates our trend line, and then you can see where the trend line had a lot of effect just over the past week or two. Uh ended up capping the rally, and then turning into support yet again. Now, let's go into a hot take, everybody. We're going to talk about Woo! Maybe one of your favorite altcoins, and that's going to be XRP. Now, XRP, from a trade standpoint, also looking very interesting. Now, this is a long trend line. This one's going back almost a year. Let's shrink this Y axis. You can see how long this has been beaten down on XRP's price, but recently we're trying to flip this into support. Now, XRP's price did shoot above. It's found one candle for support, then today's candle also, but if we go into the 4-hour you can just see very clean price action. And that is just remarkable because this trend line is a year old, but 1 2 I mean really 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 4-hour candles in a row is respecting this level. So, keep an eye out on that. Second hot take of the day. Oh, some of you going to hate me for this one, some of you going to love me for this one, and that is Cardano. Cardano is actually looking like a fairly decent trade on the macro timeline. Now, we do have this first level of support at 15.6 cents. You can just see nice support here, nice little support here. And we didn't quite wick down as low, but we now we're getting a nice little bounce on the daily. We go to the 4-hour, you can see just very very clean bounce there. Let's go back to the daily. The next level of resistance is just going to be this descending trend line that you can see right here. Now, you see major support at 15 cents. And this is why I'm saying Cardano actually not a terrible trade. We're very very close to a pretty good entry, and 15 cents has just been a huge line in the sand. These are weekly charts. Folks, this is 2018. This is 2020, and this is December of 2020. Look how the price interacted with this level. And if we go back to the daily, you can see that is going to be a nice major support at 15 cents. Now, of course, I've talked about my Cardano journey. Cardano was one of the ones I put too much emotion into that token. I do love Cardano. I love the ecosystem, but really when it comes to trading, folks, you got to look at the fundamentals, and you got to look at the technicals. And if you want to learn more about the technicals, I highly recommend go check out verifiedinvesting.com. We put out over 100 pieces of free content. You don't have to pay for this content, but if you do want to join the the live day trading desk, or if you want to look at some of the courses out there, I know Lawton has a great crypto course. Uh you know, we do have some options for those who want to take their trading journey a little bit more seriously. Now, let's get into hyperliquid, everybody. Hyperliquid. I sold some hyperliquid at this range. Now, my entry is very low. I don't know if you'll ever be able to get an entry that low again. I started in the 20s. I ended up buying more into the 30s, and I even bought more into the 40s. But now, I ended up taking some very nice profit on hyperliquid. But folks, I just moved to Florida. You know, I I initially thought, you know, maybe I'll rebuy on this midway of this parallel channel. I might be waiting for the bottom of this parallel channel. Of course, I I am open to updating my thesis here, but I just don't like what I'm seeing with the RSI on the daily. I wouldn't be surprised to see price chop around in this range. If we get some deep deep wicks below, yeah, maybe I'll go ahead and nibble. I didn't end up uh you know, catching this trade here. This one was happening in the middle of the night. I think this is around Yeah, this is around 2:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m. Folks, I'm not trading at that time, okay? I wake up at 6:00 a.m. So, I miss those trades. But if we get some deep deep deep pullbacks, I might be looking to go ahead and add to my hyperliquid bag. Like I said, I just moved to Florida. I'm actually going to the beach. It is I haven't been to the Gulf Coast of Florida in my entire life. So, I am looking forward to that. I almost, you know, let's just say I have a birthday coming up. So, maybe take a little bit of a beach trip. Now, I did get a trade-in today, and let me show you my trade. This is going to be on XLM. We talked about XLM, and then I'm going to give you my tip of the day here. My XLM entry, we're going to have to zoom in on this one. I I've already closed this long here. Let's go to the 1-hour. I got a nice entry at 18 and a quarter. So, 18 cents, 18.25 cents. It's going to be right in uh let's see, about right here. Again, I missed some of these wicks. There's a nice low that I end up catching this morning. I missed this one. I missed this one. This is again, this is at 2:00 a.m. This is at 4:00 a.m. When I saw this dip, it it hit our level of support. I got in a long and I have now since closed that long. So, XLM just listening to our charts perfectly here. Let's zoom out. Let's recheck in on this XLM. And then, that's going to give us our tip of the day, everybody. This is a quote from William O'Neil. He's a famous investor. He passed away a few years ago, but his quote is "The whole secret to winning big in the stock market is to sell your winners too soon and your losers even sooner." I'm more than happy to lock in those profits. So, I went ahead, locked in those profits. Cuz folks, we don't know where we're heading at the end of this wedge pattern. Maybe it breaks to the downside, hits the support at 17.2. Maybe it breaks to the upside and finds this nice support right above 20 cents. The fact is, I don't like the probabilities. So, I went ahead and locked in my profits. Now, we do have this resistance. You just see this descending trend line and we have this nice support. This was resistance all through here for more than a week. Found support, found support. And then, you know, the bulls and the bears are going to be in the middle of a battle. But folks, I would just give you a lot of caution trying to trade illiquid altcoins like XLM on a weekend. Sure, it might have more liquidity than your average altcoin, but compared to a Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, or maybe even, you know, the large mega caps that you see trading on the week like an IBM, a Microsoft, there's low liquidity for this one. So, this one's going to have some very, very sudden moves to the upside, to the downside. And I don't want to lose those profits. So, we went ahead and closed that trade. Let's jump back into the chart here. Now, looking at the next level, I wouldn't be surprised for it to choose one of these resistance or support. So, maybe, you know, crab along on to the downside, crab along to the upside. We'll monitor this trade and probably check back in on this one on Monday. Now, let's go to the next altcoin. And folks, this is one of the ones that you guys were requesting. Like I said, I go into the comments. You're seeing me replying to you folks. And again, this is my first full week making content. I appreciate all the support. I appreciate all the love I'm getting from the VI community here. Let's check in on this one because this is the coin that you guys wanted to see. And that's Sui. I hear some people call it Suey. Suey just reminds me of that movie from the '70s. We're not going to get into the scene. Don't talk about the scene. But, you know, Suey. Now, let's let's talk about Sui here, everybody. Uh the nice little Deliverance reference for you folks. Now, we do have the same situation. We have a wedge pattern playing out. Now, XLM ran out of space. Sui, we still have, you know, a significant amount of time. This is going to be all the way July 25th. So, we got about, you know, almost 10 days, about 9 days left for, you know, basically a major decision, a major inflection point for Sui. But, we have a couple areas. We have this resistance above, and that's just going to be catching the bottoms right here and catching the tops right there. If we run that out, folks, it's going to be right around 80 cents. Also a strong psychological level. To the downside, we have beastly historical support level. Why am I calling it beastly? Well, let's go to the weekly, everybody. You can see it acted as support. Let me I can actually probably put this on the daily as well. Boom. Nice little tag right there. Nice little tag right there. Uh let me move it just so we can hit that wick right there. And then, look at this range right now. So, I call it beastly cuz folks this is pretty close. It's pretty close to the 666 level. However, if it does happen to say, you know, cuz this ascending trend line is moving to the upside hits 67 cents and then 68 cents. Eventually, it'll hit 69 cents all the way over here. So, keep an eye out on this beastly historical support level as we find a direction to choose outside of this range. Right now, it is just respecting the support and right now it's also respecting this resistance line. So, that's going to be our show for the day. Hopefully, you're not mad at me for, you know, keeping it a little casual. I like to keep it casual on Fridays, folks. Let me know if you also get to do the same in your office as well. Hey, maybe I have pajamas on. I'm not I'm not going to tell you though. I'm not going to tell you. But I just do appreciate all the support you guys have been giving me. Nick Valdez for Verified Investing. Folks, thanks for the support. I'll see you in the future.
