>> Hey folks, Nick Valdez here for Verified
Investing. Thank you for joining
everybody. We have a huge show for you
today because we got to talk about the
recent changes that we've seen with the
Clarity Act and now Bitcoin is starting
to pull back, but some altcoins are
doing okay, but other altcoins, it is a
complete bloodbath. And we're going to
check out those tokens and talk about
what is making the winners and the
losers of this upcoming potential alt
season. And not only that, at the end of
the show today, we're going to look at
yesterday's trade. That's right. I put
in a position on an altcoin and I was
actually able to add to my position this
morning and I'll talk about my thesis
and I'll talk about where I'm going to
take profit. And once again, folks,
please go ahead, smash that like button.
I really am enjoying working here over
here at Verified Investing. Getting into
my second week and folks, you're going
to see me on the other channel as well,
Verified Pro, where we're starting to
put out some videos on commodities,
we're putting out videos on stocks and
other things, but let's just go ahead
and jump right into the charts
everybody. We're going to start things
off with the Bitcoin chart here and the
Clarity Act, the odds of now plummeted
to 37%. Yesterday, it was 53%.
So, we're looking at a 16% decline and I
think that's a large reason why we're
starting to see a little bit of a
pullback on the Bitcoin chart. We gave
you this parallel channel a while ago
and Bitcoin, you know, is just kind of
pushing up from the bottom ends, getting
rejected down here at the bottom uh on
the top end. However, we did we were
able to break through yesterday, but
look what happens when I go to say,
let's just do the 2-hour, come within
$100
of retesting this range. Now, I'm not
saying we're out of the woods just yet,
but that might have been the retest, the
return to the scene of the crime for
Bitcoin to, you know, now start maybe
potentially moving higher. But, all eyes
are going to be on this Clarity Act and
whether or not it's going to pass. It
looks like the Democrats and the
Republicans are trying to come to terms,
and they've released a little bit of the
text. It does look like they're going to
ban presidents from issuing meme coins.
But, this rule is not going to take
effect until Trump leaves office,
January 20th, 2029. But, from that
moment forward, no more meme coins from
any politician. So,
you know, that seemed to be one of the
main sticking points. So, it is looking
good for, you know, potential passage
here for the Clarity Act. But, right
now, the prediction markets are not
liking the odds, and we're starting to
see the pullback. But, let's talk about
some of these altcoins, and we'll talk
about, you know, some of the levels
we've been outlining here. Now, ETH
trying to break free of this little bit
of resistance. This is the latest
resistance that we're looking at for the
ETH chart. You just draw your trend line
from the tops that we saw here at the
end of January into the candle bodies
that we saw on the mid- uh May 11th.
And, look at that. That is right now
where ETH is starting to find a little
bit of a spring here, a little bit of a
platform, a foundation, if you will.
And, I'm looking at the push up to
$2,000.
ETH, it's a strong psychological level.
It loves interacting with this $2,000
level. And, if you look at this area
right here, you just see how often it
would wick right into this 2K level
before a pullback. Wick into it, wick
into it, wick into it, wick into it,
wick into Yeah, I mean, you're seeing a
little bit of a pattern here. It's just
a strong level for the traders to take
profits. We're going to need to go ahead
and flip this into support before we
could really start talking about any
kind of bull run for Ethereum. Now, I'm
reading your guys' comments. You guys
want to see more XRP. I can't promise a
chart every single day on it, but we can
certainly look at it today. XRP has that
nice falling wedge.
You see the price, you know, found its
little little bit of its high end right
here, found its foundation on the
falling wedge, and look at that. If you
draw it to this next wick, bam bam, we
that's where we found support lately.
And if you draw from this top to this
top right here, you can just see how XRP
just getting rejected and rejected, but
it had a nice little breakout. And if we
were to measure this move from the local
low right there, it's almost a 10% pump.
8.88, that's a lucky number over there
in Asia. But now this is going to be
very close to what I think is going to
act as resistance. Uh if you look here,
you can see the price was pushed down
here, it was pushed down again, and the
odds are going to favor, you know,
another potential push down for XRP. And
that level is right at 118 or 117.9
if you're looking for an XRP trade.
Let's look at Cardano as well. Cardano
doing a little bit of a breakout out of
this resistance. You can see it did
reject there yesterday. The price wick
right into our level, but then was
pushed back. But right now it does look
like the bulls are trying to take
control. You can see it was a pretty
clean push through, but you normally are
going to return, so I wouldn't be
surprised to see ADA, you know, this is
a 4-hour maybe pull back a little bit
before it can have any kind of bullish
move to the upside.
Now if we were to look at the next
potential target for Cardano, well
folks, we might be developing the
beginning stages of an inverse head and
shoulders. Now this is a bullish
structure, and the way you would measure
the breakout move is you would go from
the neckline to the crown of the head,
and then put that at the wherever the
breakout's going to be, and then that
would give you your target. And if you
look, that's going to be, you know,
pretty close to a lot of action. Not
only that, look where it landed. 25
cents. This is 25.1.
25 cents also going to be a strong
psychological level for Cardano. In
fact, if you look at this February low
that we had, it where or the candle
bodies closed right at 24 and 1/2 cents.
And so, this is just going to be a
strong level for Cardano as far as
resistance. Now, let's talk about some
of the the oversold and overbought.
Well, we have hyper liquid. It is
getting sold off and it's getting sold
off hard, everybody.
Now, we uh we did talk about this range.
We did talk about our potential entry. I
you know, was looking for a potential
trade. I just didn't see anything that
was really making me too bullish. Uh we
are potentially trying to set up a nice
bull div on the 4-hour RSI. But, the
RSI, you know, it's we haven't really
seen anything too strong. But, the RSI
on the 1-hour is starting to find a
little bit of a footing. But, this to me
is just not even clean enough. Now, look
at this RSI. This is a clean bull div on
the 1-hour. You can see the lower lows.
You can see the RSI making a higher low.
This to me is looking a little choppy.
It's not looking as strong as it was
over here. And even that wasn't that big
of a move. Uh if we were to measure from
the bottom, I mean, this was only, let's
see,
uh it was only a 4% gain. So, I'm not
seeing anything that's making me want
to, you know, potentially jump in on a
you know, some reaccumulation. I I was
considering it near this midway point
with the potential wick. I think that
kind of already happened. Now, we're
coming back down. It's kind of the
bouncy ball strategy, you know, the the
ball bounced once.
And then it bounced a second time. It
was a much smaller bounce. And that's
you know, then maybe you get a little
bit of a bounce. But, that's when you
start seeing a little bit of a push
down. So, right now, my accumulation is
probably going to have to be the bottom
of this parallel channel. That's the
area I'm going to be looking at for
hyper liquid.
Also, something getting just oversold
today, coming right into our area. This
is another level that I gave you folks.
This is a descending trend line from the
local top. You see just hitting those
candle bodies. Where would the next wick
hit? Right there on our trend line.
Where would we find resistance? Right
there on that trend line. And where did
we find
nice little support? Again, right there
on that trend line. Not to sound like a
broken record. Now, we go to the 4-hour.
Wow, look at that, folks. Look at that.
Just beautiful, beautiful touch there.
However, I warned you about Zcash. This
was a 60% fall in 2 days. If you bought
that top and you sold that bottom, you
just wiped 60% away of your portfolio.
So, just be very careful trying to trade
this one. This one I'm also looking at
the RSIs. If we go look at the recent
drawdown that we saw in this parallel
channel,
look how clean this bull div is. This is
a just maybe a little lesson here. In
fact, not quite the tip of the day, but
you know, it's just a good tip for you
traders. Bullish RSIs are better on the
larger time frames. And if you look at
the 4-hour, you can just see a a pretty
clean move. You can see that RSI was
heading higher while that price was
heading lower. So, we had lower lows and
higher lows. This would end up giving us
a nice bounce for Zcash. I mean, about
60% gain. Right now, we don't have that
4-hour bull div. So, I would maybe wait,
see if we could put in a lower low. And
if we do have bullish RSI, that's when
I'm going to start looking for a Zcash
trade. But I'll be honest, I am not
trying to touch that thing until I have
more clear confirmations. Just seeing a
touch of a trend line is not nearly
enough. You want a couple factors. You
want to have at least two or three that
are giving you about 70% odds for a
bounce. That's when you're going to want
to start looking at a trade. Now, folks,
I do see your comments. I do appreciate
it. So, I'm saying take a look at HBAR.
I'll tell you what, we got the
HBARbarians in the chat.
Sure, we we can look at HBAR as well,
cuz I have been watching that one as
well. It is Hedera. And let me know if
in the comments, are you a barbarian?
Now, looking at this daily, this thing
is just getting beaten down, beaten
down. But now, we have a nice little
support. Um folks, remember what I I
didn't even mean to show you this, but
the RSI was already open cuz we're just
looking at it. What do we see here right
here? We see a bullish div on the RSI.
This has given us a nice little rally,
and it you know, hey, it was up over 10%
with a little bit of a pullback right
now. Looking at HBAR, you know, I do see
a couple couple trend lines here.
It's not, you know, we have a little bit
of a bounce there, but we're also going
to have some pretty strong resistance.
Now, if you draw it from this local high
to that local high, it's going to give
you a little bit of a level, and if you
want to go into the candle bodies,
starts looking a little bit more
bearish. So, let me move this down just
a little bit to make it a little bit
more accurate. Uh we have a little bit
of room to the upside. This one I, you
know, in the middle of the range, I'm
not looking to trade this one. But,
folks, that's a nice 20% pump until we
hit the top. Uh looks like you got about
a 12% dump before we hit the bottom. So,
there's your little HBAR uh chart right
there. And now, let's get into some of
the other assets that we're going to be
looking at. And today it's going to be
Chainlink. That's going to lead us to
our tip of the day.
That tip is invest in natural
monopolies. You see a lot of monopolies.
Uh there's a lot of investors, they only
invest in monopolies. You may have been
taught in school, "Well, you know, they
they banned all monopolies." That's just
not true. That's just not true. When you
when you think about a search engine,
you know, at least before AI, there's
really only one search engine you're
going to use. Uh when you looking at a
you know, a video uploading platform for
long-form, it's really only YouTube. If
you're trying to get a car ride, folks,
you're probably going to use Uber. If
you're trying to rent a house and not a
hotel, you're probably going to use
Airbnb. So, you do see natural
monopolies. Chainlink is definitely a
natural monopoly. We've talked about
what it is. It is an oracle. It brings
data off-chain, on-chain.
But, folks, I got a warning. Even
though, you know, it is a natural
monopoly, this thing might be running
out of steam.
Let me tell you why it might be running
out of steam. We have basically get
we're a really really close to our
breakout target for Chainlink. So, we
have our inverse head and shoulders. You
go you see your left shoulder, you see
your head, you see the right shoulder.
The way you measure it, we've talked
about this before from the neckline to
the top of the head. Looks like we
lastly broke out about right there. Uh
it's pretty close to this descending
trend line and that's just catching the
bottoms, catching the bottoms, catching
the bottoms. I would expect this to act
as resistance for Chainlink. Uh and look
at that nice little wick right there at
our level. And this is just going to be
horizontal support where you can see the
price has done a pretty good job of
respecting this level. Suppressed the
price right there. Chopped around this
range.
The bears tried to make it fall. Look
exactly where that wick. That wick right
to our level. And now we are seeing a
nice little bounce. But you can even see
the candle bodies, you know, we had a
nice green candle, then a smaller
candle, and now even smaller candle.
Wouldn't be surprised if the next candle
is maybe a doji reversal candle or maybe
even a move to the bottom. Now, if you
want to know more about candles and how
to locate them and different types of
candle types, we do have a course down
below. Several courses on in fact. Go to
verifiedinvesting.com
if you want to learn more about that.
But I teased the trade in the beginning
of the stream here.
We did take a trade on an altcoin. I
gave you my position. I gave you my
added entry. Well, guess what folks? We
actually hit my level. Now, I'll show
you what that level is and of course
it's going to be swee!
Uh that's right. I know I know I had to
do it. I had to do the deliverance uh
reference there. Swee! Wicked into our
support. Wicked right into where we're
going to add our entry. So, if you
recall yesterday, we we nibbled in. We
nibbled in. Added to our our position.
We only only did about 15% of what I
want to add to my position.
Really, I I a little bit more. I'm I'm a
little bit of a degen. I did 25% I added
25%
and that was this
neckline that we're looking at right
here. Let's go to the one hour. Look at
that. I was able to catch that about
8:00 this morning. I missed it here.
This was 3:00 a.m. 3:00 a.m. Eastern
Standard Time. But I I saw it right here
as I was in the off and I was like, "You
know what? I did say I was going to add
to my position. We are up. We are
definitely up on our SWE position.
Looks like we're up about 2% but we're
waiting for some higher profits.
Remember, we're trying to hit this top
end right here which is going to be a 5%
gain. That's going to be our major level
of resistance. You can just see here SWE
bounced off this range, bounced off this
range, and then got pushed down. Look
how clean that the candle bodies are
interacting with that level. So, we are
up on our trade but we're still trying
to look for some higher profits. If we
can push up a little bit higher, I'll
probably go ahead and just get that stop
loss. Make sure you leave the casino
with money in your pocket. You don't
want to go to the casino, be up a whole
bunch of chips, and then end up being
down cuz you're trying to chase those
gains. If you're up, folks, leave that
casino. And trading an altcoin like SWE,
you're basically playing in the casino.
But, if you look at technical analysis,
you find your factors, you find your
bullish setups, you know, you you you
you find your confluence of events
there, that's when things can start
looking a little bit bullish. Now, the
RSI is still looking good on the daily.
RSI potentially starting to sour a
little bit though on the 4-hour. So, we
are going to be looking to get a little
bit more aggressive with our profit
taking there. Now, we do have a another
head and shoulder target. You look right
here, the swing low is going to take us
basically right to our target. Look at
that. So, nice little confluence of
events. So, this definitely means if
you're up on this trade, you better take
some profits, folks. I don't want you
folks to try to ride this thing hoping
for a $5 SWE, $10 SWE. If you're up,
folks, go ahead and take those profits.
But right now, all eyes on the Clarity
Act. I think, you know, there's a lot of
developments happening on on Washington
D.C. on Capitol Hill right now. Does
look like there's a little bit of some
language provisions. Like we said, the
Democrats and Republicans are trying to
hash out these details. It might need 60
votes to pass.
Unless they try to add this to an
amendment to a different type of bill.
They have continuing resolutions, but
we're not here to talk of politics and
you know, what what Skull House Rocks,
you know, I'm just a bill. A lot of you
might not even know that reference.
That's for the boomers out there. It's
for us boomers. But folks, we bring the
show to you Monday through Friday 1:30
p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Please go
ahead, hit that like button. Make sure
you subscribe. I'm enjoying bringing
this content to you folks. I'm
exploring, you know, different uh profit
taking strategies and just different
setups, becoming a better trader. And
let's all become better traders all
together. Talking about you, you Link
Marines. Talking about you, you
H-barbarians. Talking about you, Ada
gang. And of course, all you maniacs
that are obsessed with Bitcoin just like
me. I'll see you folks in the future.
Thanks for sticking around till the end.
As always, I'll see you folks in the
future. Thank you.
