Bitcoin BREAKS $80K: Is It a Trap?

changed everything. My perspective on
this industry and my success within it.
Now I'm passing that knowledge on to
you. Welcome to Bitcoin Revealed, the
true story.
Hey folks, Nick Valdez here, chief
crypto strategist at Verified Investing
and altcoins are waking up and Bitcoin
trying to break out of a particular
channel and I'm going to give you the
key levels of resistance that I am
watching folks. And not only that, we're
going to revisit a call that we gave two
days ago, and that coin is up 60%.
That's right. So, go ahead, smash that
like button if you like seeing these
calls, and we're going to go over and do
a little bit of a DeFi deep dive on
Robin Hood chain. I'm going to tell you
the hottest plays within the hottest
narrative that's happening in crypto
right now. We are seeing a lot of
activity in the bond market and precious
metals and Bitcoin decided to wake up
today. So, without further ado, folks,
let's go over the major movers to start
things off. And let me go ahead and
share my screen here on Bitcoin. Bitcoin
looking pretty interesting. What is the
level that I'm watching first? This is
the 4hour candles that we are looking
at. And this is the high that we saw on
August 24th, and this is the high that
we saw later on in the week here. This
is going to be right around 1000 p.m. at
night on the 27th. And so, watch this
key area. I do think this is going to be
a little bit of a pullback. I would not
expect a strong rejection from this, but
I would expect a short-term rejection.
And you can see right here, we almost
pushed up to create a higher high, but
Bitcoin said, "Nay, I do not think so."
So, what is the next resistance? What is
the resistance that we're going to be
watching? Well, this is an area that we
have been covering for a significant
amount of time. And you can see within
this, we are now starting to get into
this level. This is the November wick
low on Bitcoin. And if we continue to
move this to the right, this is going to
intersect with the high that we saw in
May. And this is just going to be an
area of resistance that I'm watching.
But we do talk about knocking on the
door. The more you knock on the door,
the more likely you could break through
that door. Think of it as, you know, uh
the the SWAT team. They're coming in.
They're coming for you. You know why?
You you talk trash in that Call of Duty
lobby and now they're coming for you,
folks. So, banged against the door,
banged against the door, banged against
the door again, the more often we knock,
the more likely we crash through. And,
you know, this isn't a a textbook number
that I'm giving you here, but every time
you knock, it raises the odds by roughly
5%. Now, that isn't, you know, any kind
of scientific number there. So, if you
go on it three times, you're looking
close to a 50/50, but four, now you have
like a 55% chance. five times. Now
you're looking closer at a 60% chance
that you're going to burst through that.
Now, before we go over the altcoin
that's up 60%, we're also going to talk
about Cardano. Cardano's up a whole lot.
ETH also hitting some key resistance.
And folks, get your comments in. Uh if
we got time at the end of the show,
we'll cover your favorite altcoins. And
make sure you put some comments down
below if you're catching it and you're
not live. Everybody, let's go ahead and
jump into the Ethereum chart. This is an
area that we've been talking about for a
long time. So, this is going again going
back to November. This time it isn't the
May high. This is a January high that
we're looking at on Ethereum. And you
can see we, you know, we got really
close, knocked against it, knocked
against it. Let's zoom into the 4 hour.
Look at that, folks. We are trying to
potentially close some candles above
this range. If we do, I would expect us
to go above, but then we would probably
come and retest this before we could
make a sharper move to the upside. The
real question is, can this Bitcoin rally
turn into a larger altcoin rally? If it
could then do that, I think ETH is going
to lead the way. Now, like I said, I
read your comments. Saw some of you
folks wanting me to cover BNB. BNB is a
it's a large holding of mine. I I just
was in BNB super early 2021. and I was
in and out of the the crazy altcoins. It
was a big hub for gaming tokens and NFT,
you know, interesting DeFi projects.
Still just got a little bag on my on my
wallet. It's just on the B&B chain just
kind of sits there. But I don't talk
about it too much because we don't
really see it traded too much in the
West. It's more of an Asian token and
it's a lot of rugps, a whole lot of
rugps on that chain. But we do have some
levels that I do want to throw on your
radar. I'm looking at the May 31st pivot
top. This is to me going to be one of
the key areas. Now, you saw Bitcoin did
not create a higher high. ETH, you know,
starting to flirt with that. BNB did
create a higher high. Let's go into the
4 hour. You can see ETH cleared its
previous levels. So, BNB, sorry, uh B&B
is looking a little bit more bullish and
this is just a clean clean bull flag. I
saw some of your folks saying, "Oh, well
that bull penned, it was more of a bull
flag." I mean, we can get into that if
you know, maybe on in a future episode
when we're doing some charting. But this
to me is looking like a pretty
interesting chart here. Let's get our
parallel channel. And you can see, yeah,
nice little consolidation within here.
So, I wouldn't be surprised at all if
B&B retested the the top of this
parallel channel. So, I'll probably
leave it on there for a little while.
Now, let's look at Cardono. Smash the
like button if you're holding Cardono. I
actually took a little profit on Cardono
today. Don't get mad at me. Don't get
mad at me, but I I had to take some
profit, folks. I look, don't hate it.
Don't date it. Just trade it. And if you
do want to trade, I'm trading on
Bitbase. And I'll show you my closed
trades from the last 24 hours. Did we
keep the streak alive? Are we still
closing nothing but green trades? And
I'll reveal my up my current trade, my
current trade setup. I do read your
comments. A lot of you have been jumping
in with me, getting some nice profits,
good good P&Ls on Bitbay. So, big shout
out to the Bitbase team for sponsoring
this show. All right, let's go into
Cardano. This is a fascinating chart. I
love this Cardano chart. This is August
2025. This is September 2025. We have a
nice little trend line right here. And
it's a descending trend line that's
going to be acting as resistance. And
look at that recent rally that we saw.
Perfect. Perfect. Uh nice little touch
there. And now coming into this
horizontal pivot. There's a horizontal
pivot from March of 2026. You see it was
acting as support. We wicked above it
earlier in this well last month now that
it's September. Wicked above it last
month but then pulled back sharply. This
is a nice reversal candle. Pretty close
to this is a dogee reversal candle. Did
end up having a nice little sharp
pullback for one two three four five six
seven eight nine day downtrend. But now
the downtrend is looking like it might
come to an end folks. But watch out for
this key resistance. I almost I I don't
know if I'm going to short at this level
because I mean, look at this wick right
here. I was watching the the trading
order books. A lot of people were
shorting Cardano. Guess what, folks?
Those people got wrecked. They were just
looking at this. They're like, "All
right, well, Cardano is going to reject
from here. Everybody shorting. Everybody
shorting. You then get a short squeeze."
Okay, that's when you see someone really
short, you squeeze them. It's kind of
That's actually not at all what a short
squeeze is. This was there's just a lot
of shorts that pile up. When the price
goes up on a short squeeze, it is a
forced closure. When you close a short,
it acts as buying pressure. And so then
that has to push the price up even
further because now there's a buy on the
order books. Well, that will then
sometimes close the next level of
shorts, which then creates another buy
order and it's a little bit of a
positive feedback loop. And so that's
what you see with short squeezes there.
Salana. People want to look at Salana.
Now's a good time to short Micro
Strategy. Be careful shorting Micro
Strategy, folks. That one can really
bite you in the you know what. You got
to be very careful. Uh people saying,
you know, with Middle East, we're going
to be heading down. Not sure if that's
going to be the case, but you know,
we're we're getting fatigued on that
news. Now, I see your calls for A. I did
say I would chart some A. We didn't
quite get to it the other day. So, let's
look at the A chart. Then, we're going
to do our deep dive into Robin Hood
chain. A
nice little sharp move to the upside.
Nice little consolidation pattern. Nice
little bull flag here. This one is
looking pretty interesting. Now, we did
go above this wick, but perfect perfect
intersection almost to a te at the $145
level. And so, this is still just going
to be a pretty long uh strong line in
the sand for a once we get past that,
then we can start talking about some
interesting things. A very very popular
and strong DeFi project just got wrecked
by some pools that were exploited by AI.
This was in the past. Uh did you know it
was it was a while ago. It does look
like the price action is suggesting that
you know those issues are going to be
behind it. Now I saw your Salana uh call
for we could do a Salana that we're
going to dive into the chain for Robin
Hood here. Let's look at Salana.
Salana not quite you know this doesn't
look as bullish as B&B. doesn't look as
bullish as some of these other coins.
Salana did have a very good move to the
upside. Let's go ahead and measure this.
Salana pump almost 50%. 50% in about a
10day period. And so a little bit of a
cool off is going to be necessary. So
not surprised to see that. Now let's go
over this here. So now we're talking
about the Robin Hood chain. Okay, this
is going to be our little bit of a DeFi
deep dive, everybody. There we go. Boom.
Like I like the little graphics. Let me
know if you like the graphics, by the
way. All right, so these are the top
four coins on Robin Hood chain. These
four projects are driving the activity
and a lot of the revenue on Robin Hood's
new layer 2. Number one, don't worry,
we're going to look at all four charts.
I just kind of want to explain them.
What are they? You know, number one is
Uniswap. It's the top decentralized
exchange. That means you don't need
permission to trade on it. You don't
have to take a picture of your license.
You don't have to, you know, download
anything. This is just an open
decentralized protocol. You can interact
with your wallets. It's on and they're
doing a lot of trading primarily on the
Robin Hood chain is happening on
Uniswap. So, this is the majority of the
chain swap volume across their various
pools. I looked at the fresh data. $9
million in revenue in the last 24 hours.
There's a lot of This is just Robin
Hood. This is not looking at Arbitum and
OP and Poly. It's not looking at the
other ETHL2s. Next, we got the token
launchpad. I gave you this call and I
gave you the entry on was it Tuesday,
folks. Today's Thursday. We did this two
days ago. We're going to check the
charts and see, you know, did I give a
good entry and how much are we up? Let's
just say it's up. It was 46%. I think
it's like 51%. I made this graphic a
couple hours ago. Uh this is the pump.
Fun launchpad clone on Robin Hood chain.
And if you don't know what the the pumpf
fun launchpad is, this is where you go
to launch your own tokens. Anybody and
everybody can launch their tokens on
that platform. And so doesn't really
take much. You just got to put in a
little bit of funds for a pool of
trading liquidity. I'm just trying to
make a real simple explanation here.
Lets anyone create and trade new tokens.
Uh $6.3 million in revenue the last 24
hours. The top DeFi protocol is Morpho
and this is going to be for yield
essentially. This is an official partner
of Robin Hood. It's their earn product.
I you know I couldn't tell you much
about it folks. I don't I don't use it
myself, but this lets users lend stable
coins for yield. It's the official
official DeFi token. And then again, I'm
not saying buy this, okay? In fact,
maybe this is actually getting a little
overheated. Cash Cat is the top meme
coin on Robin Hood chain. I will say
this, don't leverage trade it. Do not
leverage trade these meme coins. They
will you'll get hunted, folks. You will
get hunted. If you want to buy it for a
little spotold, that's fine. If you want
to try like 20x, 50x that thing, you're
going to get wrecked. So, just be a
little bit careful on that one. All
right, let's look at those four tokens
real quick. We'll just kind of run
through this unis swap. We have the nice
little top here, January 2025, and then
we have this in August of 2025. Look at
this clean trend line right here. Well,
what do you think today's price action
looks like? Uhoh, we got a pivot top
right here. Wait a minute. These lines
are coming together. Oh man, this is
right off the the screen here. What
happens when he moves it an inch? Oh,
look at that. That to me is going to be
a strong level of resistance. 656 on
Uniswap. That's where I'd be looking to
enter a short. Now, this one we covered
on Tuesday
and I'm on the one hour chart and so we
were talking about it at the 100 p.m.
candle. So, we were literally talking
about it here. It had a lot of movement
on this candle here. Let me just make
sure. Yeah, we have the right uh time
zone here. And so, we were looking at it
on this candle. I I watched the video. I
had to double check. I said, "Buy it.
I'm buying at 37 cents." You know, if
you if you want to jump in, that's the
level. It went there literally the next
hour. 37 36.9. Well, say you watched the
video a couple hours late. Well, well,
Nick, I saw this video at 8:00 p.m. I
saw it at 10 p.m. I saw it the next
morning. Well, guess what? You got a
second entry. You got a second entry.
This token has just gone nuts. Uh 1 2 3
4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13. This is about
24 hours. Yeah. 13 right here. This is
24 hours ago.
It is now up 50%. It had spiked as high
as 57%.
50% pump just in the last day. I gave
you this call. I said 37 cents. What I
find interesting is, you know, we I I
charted this a little bit of this
parallel channel. I said it looks like
we're going to have some resistance.
Well, we did. We got rejected right
there and we got rejected right there. I
wouldn't try to short this, though. I
I'm not shorting this here. I I'm I'm
staying away from the leverage on this
one. This is just a buy and hold. I'm
leaning towards taking some profits,
folks. I'm leaning towards it. Morpho.
Morpho on the daily. This is pretty
interesting chart here. We actually got
a long in this morning at the bottom of
this channel. So, just nice little wedge
pattern happening right here. We are
running out of time.
Uh 5 days, 5 days, it's probably going
to need to choose a direction. Sometimes
it'll just peter out a little bit. You
just see like a little bit of movement,
but with this much movement, I don't
know if it's going to look like this.
I'm thinking it's we're we're choosing a
direction here. We'll probably have to
look at the RSI to maybe determine what
direction this one's going to be going
into. I didn't like the look of that
first arrow if you know what I'm saying.
Cash cat sloppy. Very sloppy bull flag
here. This is the one day chart. Pretty
sloppy. I'll give it to you. You see the
wick here then. All right. We got
ourselves a little bit of a channel.
Well,
this is crazy when it happens. We're off
the screen. What happens? What happens
when it gets to it? Oh, look at that,
folks. We basically kissed that level.
And so this one I I wouldn't be buying
cash at this level. I did jump in, you
know, like a dgen because I am a den.
Let me smash the like button if you're a
DJ, too. I know there's some Dgens's
watching. And uh the trade that we're in
right now or we're we're literally break
even. Are you kidding me? A$120? How is
that even possible? Uh this is the one
[laughter] minute candle. It's like to a
penny now. We're probably going to be
down a dollar or something. Uh just a
few hundred bucks on this trade. There's
heavy liquidations right around 55
cents, right below 55 cents. So, I have
a couple entries that are a little bit
lower and shorts are getting liquidated
right around this 58 cent level, but I
would not wait till it's basically above
this range. You're going to see some
shorts get liquidated. I'd be looking to
close this one really probably around
here. We're just we're just trying to
get in and out of these trades. We're
not trying to uh you know, break the
bank on this one. We're going for the
singles and doubles. So, Pith Long, this
is literally one of the only tokens that
is down in the last 24 hours. That'd be
a trade setup that I I'm going to go
ahead and give to you folks. But get a
good entry, okay? Look where the trades
are getting liquidated. If you miss the
trade, that's fine. Don't just yellow in
because you see me trading in. I really
just opened it just to kind of have
something there and just kind of ex, you
know, show you folks
uh long is like I said, it's the only
token essentially. It's the only token
that's red in the past 24 hours because
that Bitcoin pump has really taken the
rest of the crypto market with it. I
mean, when we look at the one hour chart
on Bitcoin, I mean, this is just a
beautiful, beautiful pump. This is one
hour candles on Bitcoin. So, it gained
thousands of dollars in a very short
amount of time. And so, keep an eye out
on that one. Bitcoin heat map. I will
show you. Uh, people asking, "No, I'm no
longer at the previous channel. I am
here verified investing. I just I like
what we're doing over here a lot more,
folks. That's all. And I've become a
much much trader from it. XRP. All
right, folks. I see I see the XRP.
There's probably some of you on your alt
accounts. Uh, everybody's spamming it. I
do want to just reveal the trades. We
can hit refresh here just so you know
I'm not pulling any shenanigans. Just
looking at the position history. Nothing
but green trades today. I didn't really
only got one. I only made 100 bucks.
Nothing crazy. Piff, we made about 300
yesterday. Uh, that's about 200 with
these two. Then another $87 or 287 uh
the day before that on the first. we'd
have to go to the next page, but made a
couple hundred bucks. So, we're we're
scalping. We're getting in and out,
folks. We're we're killing these trades,
basically. I I don't know how many wins
in a row. Maybe we'll count tomorrow.
And looking at XRP,
what are we seeing on the charts here?
Uh, this is what I don't like. That's
that thing I don't like. All right, so
we're going to get this horizontal line
right here. This to me is I I want to
see us go past this. I want to see us go
past this wick high, this pivot high at
from the 27th and we go to the one day.
You can see it's Wow, look at that.
Yeah, it's basically right at the candle
open and the close of the next day.
That's the level I'm going to be
watching for XRP for a scalp. Uh other
than that, if we get past that, this is
also pretty interesting. If you go to
this wick high right here,
basically, uh, this is going to be
pretty strong level of resistance for
XRP. Take some profits on XRP. If you're
in on a trade, especially if you jumped
in like in this range and you didn't
sell into this wick, you didn't sell on
these two candles. Think about taking
some profit, folks. You don't go broke
taking profits. We'll look at chain link
tomorrow, folks. Uh, we went a little
long today. I love that you guys are
showing the support for my new show,
