>> Hey folks, Nick Valdez here, chief
crypto strategist at Verified Investing.
And today we have to talk about Bitcoin
intersecting with a major trend line
where if we can bounce from here, we're
looking at a 9, 10, 12,000 dollar gain.
And I have something very crazy to show
you with the Bitcoin dominance chart
that is screaming alt season from the
rooftops. Everybody is coming out like a
bat signal. So go ahead and smash that
like button. And without further ado,
folks, let's just jump into the Bitcoin
chart. Let's get things rolling. So this
is the trend line that I'm referring to.
And right here, you can see this is the
October 2025 all-time high for Bitcoin,
126,000
dollars. And it came into this area
right here in May of 2026. And if we
zoom in a little bit, look what's
happening right now as we speak. It is
now intersecting with that line on the
daily as the price is trying to get
pushed down below. But it is still
within our parallel channel. And with
this down-sloping parallel channel, we
are feeling a little bit bullish. If it
can hold on to this descending trend
line, we're also feeling a little bit
bullish. And if we can bounce from here
and past this pivot high that we can see
the tops ran into it here on June 15th.
Also ran into it here July 22nd. If we
can pass this area, then we can start
talking about some other pivot areas,
the 73,000 dollar potentially in play.
Also, you know, this is right around
72,000 dollars. This is right around
74,000 dollars. So we can hit these
areas, then we're going to have a nice
little pump. And let me tell you what
I'm talking about when it comes to alt
season, okay? I'm going to pull up a
Bitcoin dominance chart. and Bitcoin
dominance is just measuring the
dominance of Bitcoin in the entire
cryptosphere. This is including all the
altcoins and this is just looking at the
percentage of market cap that Bitcoin
takes up. And this is looking very
bullish everybody.
Let me go ahead and pull this chart up.
This is the Bitcoin dominance chart that
we're looking at right here and you can
see it peaked here in June of 2025 and
then intersected with this area creating
a trendline and now we have a rising
wedge which in and of itself is bearish
and if we look at today's action, looks
like it is potentially trying to break
down below and if we zoom out, let's say
to the weekly, you can see Bitcoin
dominance could make some major moves
folks, major major moves. As uh see this
is why I'm using Bitbase. This is
TradingView and this is why I've
actually been charting on Bitbase for a
while. We'll we'll check in on that in a
little bit. When alt season pops off
folks, when that Bitcoin dominance falls
off, it is all bets for the strong
altcoins. Speaking of strong altcoins,
let's look at Ethereum here. Ethereum
still just trying to struggle to beat
this $1929 level right near 1930 and
today's price action is no different.
Now Bitcoin down a little bit more than
the altcoins and that is why you saw
that Bitcoin dominance red candle on the
daily. You saw Bitcoin added a pretty
decent red candle. ETH is trading flat.
This has been green, this has been red,
this has been green, this has been red.
I feel like I'm in Christmas land
watching this daily candle. Wouldn't be
surprised by the time I finish this
sentence it turns green. Come on, move.
Uh it didn't want to listen to me folks.
Let's look at XRP. XRP, what is the next
target for XRP?
Well, right now we got to break above
but it is looking a little bit bearish
folks. So this is the February 6th wick
low and take it into this wick right
here, you can see, all right, we had
nice support. ETH I'm sorry, XRP
established a little bit of support,
held on for about a week here, then hit
all the way up here. This kind of gave
us our top trend line on the top of this
descending trend line. And now you can
see it's struggled to hit it one day,
had two little days of a bounce, third,
fourth, fifth day it fell below with the
daily close. And now right now, even
though Bitcoin's red, ETH is red, XRP is
green because maybe it got a little bit
oversold. But if it can't follow through
and get back above this trend line, I
would keep an eye out on this descending
trend line right here. This might be the
area to watch for XRP. Let me know down
in the chat, are you holding some XRP?
Is that one of your old coins, your
forever coins? Wouldn't be surprised if
some of you folks still hanging on to
that one. I know there's a lot of people
who just got them strong, strong
feelings for XRP. Let me just show you
this Bitcoin dominance chart real quick.
This is 2021. This was the alt season,
right? This is Bitcoin taking up 73%
of the crypto space.
And yes, you can tell me there's more
and more stable coins. There's more and
more alt coins. Uh there's fundamentals
that are, you know, into play. Stable
coins kind of holding treasuries, etc.,
etc. But, you know, broadly speaking,
this was a nice sign for alt season so
where Bitcoin would go from 73% of the
market all the way down to 40% of the
market. And let me give you my hot take,
folks. Hot take. If we reject from this
and lose this trend line, we need to
break below here. If we break below
here, this is right around 57%. That
might be a new alt season, okay? That's
when those alt coins are really going to
pop off. I'm not saying you're going to
see a $3 XRP or a a $1 Cardano, but you
could easily see 50% moves in 30 days
for some of these top alt coins. And let
me know down below in the comment
section, what alt coins do you want me
to check out, folks? I see XRP. I see
Solana.
Don't worry, we're going to talk about
some of the ones you put in the comment
section yesterday. ICP, you guys were
talking about ICP. Uh
I I I can pull up Solana as well, folks.
Solana, let's go ahead and share the
chart here. Solana on the daily
is really not doing too much, but we did
talk about this bull flag that is now
trying to break free. Now, it does look
like this bull flag is trying to a
classic retest. And so, this is the the
flag structure essentially here. You
have this nice little move to the
upside, and you don't want your flag to
go below 50%, but this is crypto. So,
you know, it's it's not uncommon. We go
to the bottom to the top. You can see it
did dip below 50%, so that does slightly
lower the odds that you're going to see
a bull flag. You see here it held onto
that 50% retrace, moved back up, held
onto that 50% retrace, then lost that
50% retrace. So, it doesn't mean it's
totally negated, but it does weaken the
bull flag slightly. But, if we come down
for a retest, that might be a very nice
bullish target to long Solana from. Now,
you guys also mentioned Zcash. Let's
talk about Zcash here.
Zcash down slightly along with Bitcoin,
although you do have some other altcoins
that are moving up. I would keep an eye
on this descending trend line for Zcash.
This might be a little bit of an area to
pay attention to for that one. And
folks, I'm going to reveal Crypto
Revealed. I'm going to reveal my trades.
We're I'm going to close a trade
probably live. I shorted Hyperliquid. I
put it out on verifiedinvesting.com.
It's one of the free articles that I put
out there. Talk about my levels, you
know, give you the thesis essentially.
And we executed on that trade, and we're
making some profit, folks. And I had a
scary situation. I copy traded someone,
and I panicked. They had conviction,
they held onto the trade, they closed in
a profit. I panicked, folks, and I'll
I'll show you the complete setup towards
the end here. Now, let's jump into ICP.
I saw you guys Why are you throwing ICP
in the comments? But, you know what? I
I'm here for the people. We're here for
Crypto Revealed. ICP, if it continues to
fall, this might be a good level to
bounce. Now, the sooner it happens, the
better cuz if you're below this pivot
area, that's not looking good. That is
definitely a downtrend, but keep an eye
on this one. This is going to be from
the June 13th high. Going to intersect
the body right here on July 10th. You
can see kind of acted as resistance,
acted as resistance. When it broke free
of this resistance, it had a nice rally,
folks. Let's go ahead and get the
measuring tool here.
2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 15% pump, 3 4
days, 15% pump. So, ICP can pump, but
you know, it's not the most bullish
chart, folks, if we're just going to be
honest here. Now, looking at Sui, Sui
also going to have a little bit of an
area to pay attention to if we do have a
pump, but I'm seeing a little bit of a
bear flag. So, if Bitcoin turns sour and
we start seeing some red candles, this
might potentially play out and this
could be pretty ugly, folks. So, keep an
eye out on Sui. That one might turn a
little bit nasty. Near, looking super
excited. This one's looking very juicy
to me for a major move. This is near
support all the way back in April of
this year. How many days ago are we
talking about at this point? We are
talking about 137 days ago. Came down,
established our channels. I mean, you
could say maybe made the channel by
those the the touch there and the touch
there, but this to me really gave us our
ascending trend line that we're paying
attention to. And look at this price
action, folks. It held on, held on
strong, but look at this descending
trend line. So, we are running out of
time, folks. So,
uh Near is near completion to this wedge
pattern. I'm sorry. I know that was a
bad pun. It was bad, I know, I know.
Less than a week, folks. You have less
than a week, maybe 6 days on that one.
Now, I'm not saying it has to make a
major move. Sometimes it just kind of
peters out a little bit, but
when you have a longer trend line,
that's when you can expect those
explosive moves, folks. Let's get rid of
the drawing there for the future. All
right, now let's look at the next one we
right here we're looking at hyper
liquid. This is going to be our trade
setup. I talked about this pivot area
right here. You can see I added to the
short. It went a little above our short
area, but it did then pull down and we
were able to close this one in profit.
I'm I'm going to show you my trade.
Don't worry folks. You can see right
here. Boom, hit and clean. Added at 58.
Added again at 58.25.
It did go a little bit higher. Didn't
quite hit 58.50. That would have just
been too That would have been even more
profit folks, but we added to the short.
We're still in a trade cuz I said I was
going to probably go ahead and close
this one. Where I made about 150 bucks.
So let's go ahead and hit last. Let's
hit close. And boom, closed our trade.
Successful order everybody. Now this is
the trade that got a little bit dicey
for me.
I maybe shouldn't even be showing you
this folks. Now we do have a live day
trading room. You can join it at
verifiedinvesting.com.
You know, all the information's there
where you can watch the traders live.
You can watch Gareth. You can watch
Jake. You can watch Drew. You can watch
Lawton. You can watch them enter their
trades. They talk about their levels.
This is the completed orders folks. This
is just today.
This is probably going to change if they
get into more trades. Looks like they
have pretty good win rate today. Pretty
good win rate. It does look like there's
a break even. But I copy traded Jake
Sweeney on his iron trade, okay. Iron
used to primarily just mine Bitcoin. Now
they're pivoting to AI. I didn't like
it. I didn't like it. So he's shorting
that company that turned their back on
Bitcoin. I'm going to join him folks. So
join him I did.
And let's just say I should have had the
hodlers mentality. I panicked folks. I
panicked. Now we can actually click in
on the trade here. So he added to his
trade. Added to the short. Added to the
short. Added to the short. He actually
closed a little, but then held on. When
he closed the a little bit, I just
jumped out, folks. I totally panicked
and I'll show you my order right there.
I took a slight loss, but we did end up
getting a nicer win there. And I can hit
refresh cuz now we have the new hyper
liquid short close and this should go up
closer to 200. Yeah, 199.
So, we're able to, you know, more than
make up for that. We're just looking at
the 13th. That one I basically closed at
break even, made about 100, lost about
20, 30 bucks, made about 200 bucks. So,
we made a few hundred bucks bucks today
trading on BitBase. Folks, if you want

Monday. It's kind of the official launch
for BitBase on this channel. So, I do
want to give them a quick shout-out,
everybody. And thanks for joining.
Thanks for hanging out. I've Again, this
is Crypto Revealed. I I see you talking
about Monero. We'll throw Monero in.
Ain't this the Shiba Inu guy? No. No, it
is not the Shiba Inu guy. Can Canton go
any lower? It certainly can't, folks.
This is Crypto. Looks like the
money for Canton doesn't accrue to the
token holders. Many such cases in
crypto. You see that with Chainlink. You
see where equity of the company is not
tied to the tokens. Whereas there are
other things like HyperLiquid, it does
look like the value accrues to the
holders there.
But Canton, you know, that's a big bank
just doing kind of big bank things, you
know, that's why that one did have such
a large drawdown a few months ago,
folks. But yeah, I will I will cover
those, folks. Shiba Inu, I'm going to be
going to sleep thinking about this one.
Now, how dare you say something like
that to me? How dare you? You better hit
that like button in response if that was
you in the comment section. Check out
Crypto Revealed every Monday through
Thursday. And folks, we have Crypto
Combat coming up tomorrow. And then
folks, we're going to go ahead and end
with a clip from that very exciting
show. Same time, Gareth going to be on
tomorrow's episode. I can't wait for it.
I'm going to be the host. Let's go ahead

much.
