Bitcoin And Altcoins BREAK OUT: Institutional Levels Revealed

I grew up with nothing. Success felt
impossible until I found crypto in 2018.
I made every mistake, chasing hype and
holding coins to nearly zero. [music] I
then found technical analysis and it
changed everything. My perspective on
this industry and my success within it.
Now I'm passing that knowledge on to
you. Welcome to Crypto Revealed, the
true [music] story.
Hey folks, Nick Valdez here, chief
crypto strategist at Verified Investing
and everything is pumping. The altcoins
are up, Bitcoin is up, and we're going
to talk about some key institutional
levels, everybody. And if you've been in
crypto and you've been buying the dip, I
want you to go ahead pat yourself on the
back until your shoulders dislocated
because we have some major green
candles. So finally folks, it is time to
celebrate and make sure you go ahead and
smash that like button everybody as you
come on in. Now let's go ahead and let
me share my screen here for one quick
second. Uh we're going to look at
Trading View and Bitcoin with a massive
massive pump. But I have to tell you
about what happened on May 4th and we
talked about this level yesterday and is
this level intersecting with this
inverse head and shoulders target. And
so we'll do a little uh teaching lessons
as we look at the head and shoulders
target. And this was the wick low that
we saw from the tariff sell-off. This is
April of 2025. And you can see the price
essentially rejected right there. Uh
rejected essentially again right there.
But let's look at this inverse head and
shoulders. And then uh the May 4th
folks, I got to tell you about what
happened then. So right here you can see
left shoulder, you see the head, you can
see the right shoulder. And the way you
measure this is you go to the neckline
to the crown of the head and put it
right there. And folks, we have a couple
major targets. Number one, it's going to
be right around 74,500
and the next one's going to be right
around, let me try to get there as close
as possible, 75,800.
So, I'm keeping an eye on those two
levels. Now, what happened May 4th? To
me, that's a very important question.
And to see what happened May 4th, we got
to talk about what happened yesterday.
Now what happened yesterday was Wall
Street bought a lot of crypto ETFs. In
fact, if you look record setting for,
you know, the at least in recent memory
here for months and months of, let's
see, June, July, August, about three
months here, $500 million in inflows.
And BlackRock led the way buying a
massive amount of Bitcoin for their
clients there. 4,000 Bitcoin, 284
million. And so these are the Bitcoin
ETFs. And this is traditionally how Wall
Street's going to get their Bitcoin
exposure. But what's important to know
is what happened on May 4th. So, let me
go ahead and show you folks. Now, May
4th, the reason that's important, that's
the last time we had a inflow over 500
million. Wall Street bought about $550
million worth of ETF. So, more than what
they bought yesterday. So, is Wall
Street good at buying the dip? No,
folks. They were actually buying the
top. Now again, this is for Black
Rockck's clients. This isn't going to be
the Black Rockck quants. This isn't
going to be, you know, their their
mathematicians here. This is going to be
their retail clients, institutional
clients asking them to buy Bitcoin on
their behalf. And so May 4th is this
candle right here, one two days before
we had a peak and then we put in a lower
low. So if you're one of those people
that think, well, you know, the
four-year cycle is still going to be in
play. We're still going to bottom in
October. This is kind of pointing you in
that direction. So, I'm not saying
that's going to happen for sure. I don't
think anyone knows for sure unless you,
you know, you watch a lot of Ben Cowan,
but uh that's maybe something just uh to
focus in on that, hey, maybe Wall Street
isn't the best at buying Bitcoin because
last time it didn't look so good. Now,
let's talk about the crypto in politics.
We did kind of cover what happened
yesterday, the White House, they had
their crypto meeting. Now, we kind of
have the main talking points. I end up
watching a lot of the live stream. The
live stream was very interesting. Donald
Trump was there. There was a lot of
crypto executives. My favorite part from
the live stream was when Sergey Nazerov
was up. He had his little postcard, you
know, he's kind of looking down. He's
reading it. That's the founder of
Chainlink, by the way. Donald Trump was
just focusing reading his card like,
"You better not be saying something 30
seconds from now." Uh, pretty funny
moment there. But Trump says the US has
discussed buying sizable amounts of
Bitcoin and other crypto. He called on
Congress to pass the Clarity Act, urging
a fair version of the bill. and he says
his administration has ended the war on
crypto once and for all. But Hyperliquid
had a huge surge after he said the CFTC
is working to bring it to the United
States. So pretty interesting moment. If
you are a Hyperlid fan, we are going to
look at Hyperlquid. But first, we need
to look at Ethereum folks. Ethereum
kind of coming into some resistance
folks. I I I noticed this and I put it
out on verified.com.
It's a great website if you want to
check it out. But I I see this pivot top
right here. And you know, maybe uh maybe
just an area to keep an eye. This is
going to be the local high that we've
seen. This is April of 26. But what's
this descending trend line? Where is
this originating from? Oh, okay. Well,
if you see right there, that's the peak
here intersecting with the peak here.
And folks, we got a nice little double
confluence area. So, this might be a
little bit of double resistance. The
more resistance or the more support, it
raises the probabilities. And so if we
see a lot of factors really starting to,
you know, kind of hone in on the same
spot, that kind of gives you, you know,
better odds. If you're looking at a
trade setup, it's a 55 60% of the time
it's going to play out, but then you add
on a second factor or you add on a third
factor, really starts raising those
probabilities and then you're looking at
some like 80% probability trades. And
folks, that kind of gives you, you know,
a nice blueprint to enter in some of
these trades. And I am going to show you
my trades. I shorted XRP. And you might
be saying, "Well, XRP is pumping." Well,
what happened to your trade? I'll tell
you what happened to my trade, folks. It
was a dicey trade. Hey, did did we keep
the streak alive? Are we still getting
the wins? Are we still batting, you
know, uh, you know, deep deep in the
green? Tell you that in a second. Now,
this is very interesting. I was looking
at this minutes ago. Let's go to the one
minute chart, folks. Uh, let's give it a
second here as we as it loads up because
we're looking at a lot. Oh, wow. Look at
that, folks. XRP pumping pumping past
this level. Don't worry, we're not in a
short right now. Uh but we did scalp
earlier. This was a descending trend
line that folks may be no longer valid.
So the next level I already had it
folks, you can't you can't trick me XRP.
You're not going to pull wool over my
eyes. You're not going to put the
sleeping mask on me. I notice 136. To
me, that's going to be the next key
level. Why 136? Let's get our horizontal
line and look at this, folks. right here
at 136. It's about 136.15 or so. Uh
right here is the pivot top and a pivot
low right there. So that's the next
level for XRP right now. This is just a
story of shorts getting liquidated. This
was a lot of crypto was getting over
basically this point overbought and the
bears had to pay for it folks. People
were betting against these cryptos.
They're open levered positions. They're
trying to go short on these things and
these altcoins are wiping out them
traders. And I'm going to tell you about
the record setting day that we've seen
in the last 24 hours. And I see your
comments, folks. Everybody uh you know,
go ahead, smash that comment. I do love
when uh your comments are, you know, uh
rolling in. May the 4th be with you. Fun
fact, fun fact about Deezy. It's
actually my wedding anniversary. That's
right. I got married on May the 4th.
Don't think that I had a Star Wars
wedding, okay? We weren't anointed with
lightsabers. They just didn't have any.
No, I'm just kidding. I didn't I'm just
kidding. Was my wife, you know, did she
have the Princess Leia look? I don't
know, folks. You have to go You have to
look at my socials to see the see the
pictures there. Spoiler alert, it
wasn't. It wasn't. All right. All right.
Now, let's look at Cardano. Cardano
still trading within this parallel
range, but uh is coming up to some
resistance as we hit these local peaks
that we saw right here. You can see we
didn't close a daily above this, but we
also have some wicks. Uh look at the
wick up here. Look at the John Wick.
Hey, what do you know? The John Wick is
intersecting with this parallel
structure. You best believe I will short
Cardano if we reach the top of that
structure. You might say, "I thought you
love Cardano." I'll tell you what I love
more. I love making money more, folks.
So, I will definitely open a short. Now,
let me give you a spicy hot take though
for folks. Hot take. Hot take. This
altcoin that I'm about to show you might
be running out of steam. This might be
one that you don't want to hold for a
long time. Now, this is great for some
swing trades, you know, maybe great on a
shorter time span, month time span. But
if you're thinking this is going to be a
revolutionary altcoin, it's going to
change the future. You might be
mistaken. And I'm talking about Near
Protocol. One of the things I do not
like about Near Protocol, it is barely
up today. This one's up uh was up around
5% here. Uh we just kind of measure this
daily candle. We have altcoins that are
up 20% today. ETH was up 20% at one
point. Hyperl was up at 20% at one
point. Let's go ahead and actually I
think I might even want to go to uh the
4 hour here.
So 48 126 20 24. So if we measure this
4% I just wanted to double check. This
was only up 4% in the past 24 hours. So
when you have altcoins that are pumping
20%, 15%, 10%. You got to ask yourself
why is this altcoin only pumping 4%. The
the answer you might not like it. it
might not be a good long-term hold. This
one might be one of those coins that
trends to zero when you price it in
Bitcoin and so, you know, maybe not a
lot of gas left in this tank. Now,
Hyperlid,
I'm sorry, near near Protocol uh did
come down, retest this descending trend
line. We've been talking about this
wedge pattern. It broke out of the
wedge. It came down for a retest, but so
don't be surprised if it continues to
pump. I could definitely see this, you
know, heading to $2 from $1.77. That's a
pretty good pump. That's a pretty good
rally. We're not going to we're not
going to say it can't pump. This is
more, you know, I'm just talking about
like on a one-year timeline, two-year
timeline. I'm not the biggest fan of
near, but I I do think there's another,
you know, 16% or so left in that gas
tank. You ever drive to the E, by the
way, uh my wife thinks I'm crazy because
I actually drove her car today. Might
have to get an oil change. Uh I don't
want her going there. I'll do it for
her, you know. Thank you very much. I I
I got this. Get a new filter. You got to
do this. said, "I'm not going through
all that." All right, folks. But I you
see the light to me that says I got 50
more miles, baby. We can keep pushing
it. I feel like Kramer uh when it comes
to that. Now, I did mention Hyperliquid.
Let's look at Hyperlid, folks. Hyperlid
broke out of our parallel structure. We
got to love it, folks. This is our This
is my crypto uh biggest bag here, folks.
I have more Hyperlid at this point than
I do Bitcoin. That's right. I know. I'm
a I'm a hyperlquid bull, folks. And I
didn't get a chance to reaccumulate. I
was maybe I was a little greedy, you
know, kind of waiting for it to do this.
I I told you on the I think we're
looking at the two-hour RSI. This one
looks like it's about to turn around.
Turned around, you know, missed our
target, but that's okay, folks. But
notice this. We got a nice All right.
So, we're just kind of looking at these
wicks here, intersecting with these
wicks here. Kind of takes you about this
point right here. And then we have the
four wicks, the four horsemen of the
hyperlid apocalypse. you go straight
across.
All right, hold on. I'm trying to get it
about even. There we go, folks. So, kind
of intersecting, folks. Kind of, you
know, just maybe a little bit of double
resistance right there, right around 76.
And it's not a surprise. It's going to
find a lot of rejection or a lot of
selling pressure, bearish pressure when
you're looking at these ranges. But I
think there's going to be $100 one day.
It might happen sooner rather than
later. I think a lot of it is going to
depend on what does the Cabal do? What
does Hyperlid do? Are they still going
to be buying? But let's talk about some
of the trades, folks. I got a little
nutty. I got a little crazy and I was
shorting. That's right. Now,
recordbreaking day, folks. This was a
record $3.37 billion wiped out in about
24 hours. We have never ever seen that
many shorts liquidated. Now, you might
say, "I thought 10 10 people lost more
money." Those were long positions
getting liquidated. These are short
positions getting liquidated. And my
phone almost fell out of my pocket.
You're about to hear a big bang. But I
caught it. I caught it, folks. You can't
you can't catch uh Nick slipping. That's
for right. But let's look at the trades.
I told you I shorted. I actually had my
biggest win on Bitbase. And I want to
give a big shout out to Bitbase.
Everybody sponsoring this show. We're in
there. We're slicing. We're dicing. And
I cut it up again. Folks, before I was a
samurai yesterday, I was holding a
Ginsu.
This time I was uh Baraka for Mortal
Kombat. All right. You know, the Baraka
fatality. That's what I was doing to the
charts, everybody. Now, let's look at
this. Uh, we had I can't help myself. I
did open another short. Let me actually
hit refresh on this. I think we have
another one. I think I I shorted XRP
right before I went live. Yeah. Uh,
closed that one, folks. I don't like
having open trades while I'm doing this
show. I want to be able to go through
the charts. I don't want to be stuck.
But we nailed a $700 XRP short. Went a
little bit heavy on that one. had to add
to that position. Got a little dicey,
folks. Got a little dicey. If this tells
you anything, this was a 3,000 XRP
position. 6,000 XRP position.
182,000 XRP position. That was almost a
quarter million trade. And folks, we're
going for singles and doubles. We're not
going for home runs. Guess what? If we
would have tried to hold on to XRP, we
would have got liquidated. We got
liquidated like, oh no, this is going to
be the top top. We got to short it from
here. Take those wins, folks. Take those
wins so we still continue to knock it
out of the park with Bitbase. And
remember, we got a awesome, awesome deal
for the verified investing crowd here.
Up to 20,000 USDT in bonuses and we're

make sure you check out Crypto Combat.
Crypto Combat's going to be replacing

Gareth Soloway, he's going to be trying
to take on Lton. He's going to take on
Drew. I'm going to be hosting it, folks.

200x leverage. I do not recommend that.
You see, you see my win streak. We're
going with five to 10 to 20 X's, folks.
