BITCOIN REVEALED: The True Story | September 9, 2026

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. I then
found technical analysis and it changed
[music] everything. My perspective on
this industry and my success within it.
Now, I'm passing that knowledge on to
you. Welcome to Bitcoin Revealed,
[music] the true story.
Hey folks, Nick Valdez here, chief
crypto strategist for Verified
Investing. And today we're going to talk
about the Bitcoin chart and how Wall
Street was able to front run what Scott
Bessent said earlier today that sent
Bitcoin crashing. But now we're starting
to see a little bit of recovery, but I
have the two key levels for you to pay
attention to on the Bitcoin charts.
We're going to break that down with the
liquidation heat map and even discuss
later on in the show some open trades
that I'm in right now and Hunter Biden's
meme coin, folks. Yes, of course we got
to talk about it. It had a 98% decline.
I feel really bad for the people who
bought that one, folks. But let's go
ahead and jump into the charts.
Hopefully you didn't buy that one. Smash
the like button if you stayed away cuz
you were smart. Now, let's get into the
Bitcoin chart here. This is the one-hour
chart that we're looking at here and
this little bit of a crash that you see
right here, one, two, three hour little
time session here. Nice nice decline in
Bitcoin's price. We can go ahead and get
the measuring tool here for a short
amount of time. This was a fairly
significant drop. We saw about $1,600
wiped from Bitcoin, but we did not quite
hit this level of support. We're looking
at the September 2nd wick low into the
wick low that we saw on the 8th. And if
you look right here, this is going to be
basically a nice level of support. And
I'm going to tell you what these arrows
mean in a little bit. It's not just the
lines on the chart. There is a deeper
meaning to these arrows, folks. I'm not
talking about green arrow. Well, I guess
I am talking about a green arrow, but
this red arrow as well. So, keep an eye
on this. But, I also noticed this right
here. So, this is just this morning's
action. This is a 4:00 a.m. 5:00 a.m.
and then 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. I
couldn't help but notice, what do you
know, we have a nice little trend line.
So, right now this is the resistance for
Bitcoin and this is going to be the
support for Bitcoin. But, the real
question is where are we heading next?
Well, I have a prediction that I am
going to share with you. Don't worry. I
have a I don't want to say a good idea,
but let's just say a strong idea that
the liquidation heat map is going to
point us in the right direction. But,
first, let's talk about Scott Bessent.
What what happened today?
Well, he gave a speech and the Treasury
essentially said here that the Treasury
is going to buy back $6 billion in debt,
triple the normal level. And so, they
announced this earlier today. This was a
speech right around 11:00 a.m. and said
they're going to buy back $6 billion in
longer-term government debt. It's a huge
huge amount. This operation aimed at
keeping the bond markets functioning.
Now, we did hit a 3-year high on the
10-year yield. And when there's
easily, let's just I'm going to try to
break it down as simple as possible.
When you can get high yields on
Treasuries, that's a way to get
risk-free return on capital. And when
you get a higher, essentially, risk-free
return on capital, you're less likely to
look for risky bets. Now, when you get a
lower risk-free return on capital,
that's when your risk appetite
increases. That's when you got to start
looking for something risky. And really,
Bitcoin is going to be that that main
asset that does generate, you know, just
higher prices when there's a risk
appetite cuz it's it's basically the
apex of risk assets. Now, the The
buyback, like we said, is going to be $6
billion. This is 2x what Basset said the
Treasury would buy at least double the
normal buyback amount, and future
operations said they'll at least be $4
billion moving forward.
Now, this buyback is going to target the
10- and the 20-year notes, aiming to
keep the Treasury yields
after they hit their highest level since
before the 2008 financial crisis. But,
this is actually about a 3-year high
that we have seen. So, a little bit of
crypto and politics right now. Scott
Bessent, he is kind of driving what we
are seeing in the crypto markets. Now,
let's talk about the ETF inflows here.
What did we end up seeing with the ETF
inflows? Well, what do you know?
BlackRock is buying. BlackRock was
buying, Bitwise was buying, but total,
this was an outflow day for Bitcoin
ETFs. Now, these are exchange-traded
funds, and these are going to be just
easy avenues for retail to buy Bitcoin
via Wall Street. This way they don't
have to mess with the wallet, they don't
have to, you know, remember a seed
phrase. They just call up their broker,
or, you know, pull up their little app
and buy some Bitcoin with a lot of
liquidity, folks. And major, major
outflows, though, from Grayscale.
Grayscale taking the cake here, $65
million in outflows, more than
offsetting the little bit in inflows
that we saw. And so, we have a total
negative flow day, $46 million. Four out
of seven
showed that they reduced their capital
expenditures just in that 24-hour
period.
Now, let's talk about my predictions.
Where are we going to see Bitcoin head
first? Now, this is the liquidation heat
map. What is the liquidation heat map?
Well, the color you see on the left, the
brighter the color, the more
liquidation. So, when you see bright
yellow, that means just $88 million
in leverage positions are going to be
wiped out, and that means the exchanges
are going to make a lot of money. And
right now, you're seeing a lot of
liquidations above to me, this is going
to act as a little bit of a stronger
magnet, if you will. This is going to
pull price up, in my opinion, before we
wipe out the liquidations to the
downside. So, this is roughly around
77,700,
and then above is going to be right
around 79,800.
And what were those arrows that we were
looking at earlier? Well, it's connected
to these right here. And so, this is
what we're kind of seeing. Right below
this wick, that's where we're going to
see a lot of liquidations. And right
above this wick, that's where we're
going to see a lot of liquidations. Now,
I have a prediction. Essentially, that
Scott Bessent's comments, you know,
saying, you know, the yields basically
he pushed the yields, you know,
basically Wall Street, it was priced in
6 billion.
If I could just break it down for you
real quick. Wall Street had priced in
six. There were hopes that he was going
to buy 10 billion dollars. Because he
didn't buy 10 billion dollars, well,
that ended up pushing the yields higher,
which then lowered risk assets. And
since it couldn't even push into this
level of support, let alone into this
liquidation zone, to me is showing me
that I think we're more likely to
revisit this area before we revisit that
area. So, that's going to be my
predictions, folk. And go ahead and
smash that like button if you like the
little breakdown with with the
liquidation heat map. If you like the
little breakdown with Scott Bessent's
talk. I see your comments about Hunter
Biden. No comment. No comment on that
one. And at the end of the show, we
we're we're going to chart Zcash. Don't
worry. We'll also chart Solana. I see
your comments. And if we got a little
time, we'll chart XLM. Now, where's this
capital going to be flying to? Well, you
know, you're bringing up Zcash. Maybe it
is going to head to Zcash. This is the
one-hour chart, as well.
And keep an eye on this ascending trend
line. This to me is going to be a nice
little strong area of resistance. But
right now, looks like RSI is cooling
off. You can see basically what they
would call a hidden bearish divergence.
What's a hidden bearish divergence? It's
where the price makes a higher high, but
the RSI makes an equal that that was
supposed to be a straight line. Jeez,
what am I hanging out with Hunter Biden
here?
Uh
I'm sorry. I shouldn't even say that.
Shouldn't joke about that. Shouldn't
joke about that. But if it was lower,
that would be a clear bearish
divergence. Since it's equal, it is a
hidden bearish divergence. So, not quite
as strong, but not exactly weak either.
And so, this is showing some pressure at
least in the near term on the Zcash
chart here.
And also, uh let's see. If we zoom out a
little bit here, you can see a little
bit of bearish divergence. So, you see
the price made a high,
made a higher high, made a higher high.
RSI low, or well, lower, and then lower
still. So, this is bearish divergence on
the 1-hour chart on Zcash. But it can
continue to make bearish divergences.
Doesn't mean it's going to, you know,
slam dunk going to turn around from
there. Let's look at uh Ethereum before
we look at Solana. We still are just
kind of paying attention to this
descending trend line. But we tested it
today, folks. We are testing testing the
patience of the line right here. And the
more we knock on this door, more likely
we're going to break to the upside. And
then maybe we can start talking about
this bull flag setup playing out. And if
we do have this bull flag setup play
out, we got some really good targets for
Ethereum.
The way you would do you would measure
it from the breakout target. That's
going to be right around $3,200.
But remember, it's going to be strong
psychological level pressure at 3K. In
fact, you can see that's where the price
broke down from there on the daily. And
you can see this basically where, you
know, a little bit above, but where we
got a first nice little bounce on the
decline. Maybe not the first bounce, but
a strong strong bounce from near that 3K
level. Just strong psychological level.
Now, I noticed something similar with
the Solana chart. And so, if you go from
the peak right here and to this peak,
well, that's going to be, to me, pretty
strong resistance to the upside. So,
keep an eye out on that one. I'm also
just kind of paying attention to these
trend lines above and below.
And we'll see if these end up playing
out, folks, on the Solana chart. Now, we
do have some interesting chart action
with NEAR. Now, I don't know if I should
even break down the Jesus take the wheel
chart pattern here.
Uh let me know in the comments. Do
Should I break down the inverse Jesus
take the wheel? This It's It's a chart
pattern I learned from Crypto Face, by
the way. But, a clearer, you know, more
established target is going to be this
head and shoulder. Now, this is a in
spirit of head and shoulder. You can
see, you know, a little bit of a double
left shoulder here.
But, the way you would measure this is
you go from the neckline.
I don't know why it's blue. I made you
yellow. I made you yellow. No one calls
me yellow, says Marty McFly. Uh he says
chicken, but all right. That's going to
be a nice target for NEAR, right around
275.
So, keep an eye out on that. It is going
to be lower than what we're seeing right
here. All right, you want to see the
inverse Jesus take the wheel. So, the
inverse Jesus take the wheel, let's just
kind of discuss the regular one. You
ever see the
Let's just go ahead and call a spade a
spade. Elderly driver. I live in Florida
now, so, you know, I see a little bit
more than I used to in Atlanta.
You see them holding on to the wheel
and their head's bare It's not even
above the steering wheel. That's where
their head is, and then they have their
right arm, and that's the Jesus take the
wheel uh trading pattern. And what
typically happens is you get a sharp,
sharp move in that direction. And uh if
you look right here,
uh boom, you know, they kind of played
out a little bit. So, now it's a little
bit late, but we are seeing that one,
the inverse Jesus take the wheel
pattern. All right, I don't even know
why I showed you that one. All right,
let's look at Chainlink here.
Chainlink, nice. Also nice little bull
flag here on the 4-hour chart. And we
are trying to find support on this
level. So, I just went from the candle
the the wicks here, the wick there, bam,
support, support, support. Basically
support, resistance.
And then we did break through. It took a
couple 4-hour candles, you know, we got
rejected, we got rejected. We bounced
up, what do you know, it then became
support right here, it became support
again. And now Chainlink is trying to
push below this level. Let's talk about
the open trades and we'll talk about
what we saw with Gareth Soloway. This
one
I'll probably just go ahead and close
this. I gave this chart pattern on our
website verifiedinvesting.com.
I put it out this morning. These are
1-minute candles, so basically if you're
following us on the website, you were
able to catch in that one. We also got
an app for verifiedinvesting.com.
And maybe I need to just go ahead and
close the rest of this one, folks. I
think we closed about 75%.
So, we're going to go ahead and just
close the rest. And boom, there we go.
The the position is now closed. We're
going to cancel our additional buy
order, which is right below 15 cents.
Still might do a dip, but go for the
singles and doubles. Don't go for those
home runs, folks. Next trade that we're
going to be looking at here
is Athena.
There's definitely some nice little area
right around 15.3. I'm kind of keeping
an eye out on that one. But this one
also looking like it's going to be in
the green here. Let's go to the 1-hour
chart.
So, I can show you this chart pattern
here.
Look at this. This is on the 1-hour. So,
this is a wick that we saw all the way
back in August,
the 26th.
Hit it again right there, September 2nd.
And then dip below and have I you know,
I might keep these orders open. Keep it
right below this wick and then maybe one
more in case it pushes just an
additional, uh you know, 0.5% or so. And
right now, let's go back to the
1-minute. Uh man, see, I was live while
I was deep, deep, deep in profit. Right
now, we're just barely in profit. And uh
this one's also another one I closed 75%
of. Now, we can go ahead and hit refresh
on our position history. Do we still
have a flawless September? We do, folks.
Flawless September. You can check the
9th here. So, uh just made a little bit
more than 100 bucks. Maybe with this
next trade, we could get a little bit
closer to 200 bucks, but nothing crazy,
folks. We're just going in for the
singles and doubles, getting 100 bucks,
couple 100 bucks a day. What do you
know, that's 1,000 bucks a week, making
50K a year off this. We're not going to
complain about that. And what happened
with Hunter Biden's laptop?
So, we kind of talked about this on
yesterday's live stream.
Hunter Biden launched a meme coin today.
It dropped 98% from its peak. I kid you
not. The peak price was $190.
It reached that within 2 minutes. This
one was I was going to maybe try to
scalp it
during the dip. Aerodrome, one of the
top plays, it failed. It wasn't even
working for me, folks. Uh then you also
you could use pump.fun. You could use
FOMO. You got to kind of sign in with
your Google account. And the whole
thing's a little uh sus there. And it
went all the way down to $3.70.
So, it went from 190 to 370. Uh settled
near 477. Where's it at right now?
Right now, oh my god, it's down even
further. It's now down to $1.69.
Folks, this is just pain. This is a lot
of pain. I'm not even going from the
peak go top right there that it hit that
it said 2 minutes, actually 3 minutes
later. Uh this one is now down 98%.
98%. So, hopefully you stayed away from
that one. If you did try to scalp it, if
you didn't walk away because there's
plenty of times that it had doubled in
price or went up 50%. I was talking
about it with some of my co-workers. If
I would have bought then, sold 10-15
minutes later, it was up 120%.
Now, it's it's probably down from then,
but there's there there are plays to be
made. Don't get me wrong. I'm I'm just
not interested in this one. In fact, if
we kind of zoom into the 1-minute chart
here,
let me share the screen. Yeah, I mean
there's there were some plays. There
were some plays. This is at 10:00 a.m.
Yeah, went up 150%
even recently here. Now, don't don't
even try to chase this one. Say you just
jumped in about an hour ago.
That's that's only 16%. The the risk
reward here, folks, is just not there.
Even if you think you're buying the
bottom, there's going to be another
bottom, then another bottom, then
another bottom. So, stay away from this
one, folks. You guys did ask for XLM.
I guess I got a little time. I got I can
show you the Stellar chart. Is Stellar
looking Stellar?
It's still just messing around with our
little trend line here. Or so, this is
resistance, resistance, resistance,
resistance. This is March and April of
this year. It was support. It was
support. And looking now, looks like
it's coming close to that range. Let's
go to the 4-hour chart. Yeah, still just
kind of bouncing around in this area. I
don't mind a little bit of a bounce at
18 cents. This one's a little bit I just
don't like this chart. I In fact, I
would look forward to short a bounce if
I was looking at XLM.
Yeah, if I would short this trend line.
This is the 4-hour chart that we're
looking at. And so, it's right around
18.9. So, I I would go for a scalp
short. I wouldn't try to hold this one
for any long time. Has there ever been a
bigger rug pull? Yeah, this is crypto. I
mean, yeah, I mean, in that amount of
time, that that one was a little bit
interesting cuz there was no liquidity
on Uniswap. Now, maybe it sounds like
I'm speaking, you know, a foreign
language to some of you folks. There's a
limited ways of buying this and because
there is those limited ways, there's
also limited ways to sell it and that's
just wasn't a lot of liquidity for that
one. There was only like two and a half
million dollars in the liquidity pool.
And what do I mean by that?
Let's just say you happen to have every
single wallet with every single laptop
token.
There was only two and a half million
dollars of funds able to withdraw if you
went to sell everything. So, you might
have seen a market cap of a billion or
five billion or half of half a billion.
There's nowhere near that in liquid in
liquidity, meaning, you know, tokens on
the other side of the sell. So, not
great there, folks. Yeah, ETH bull flag.
Yeah, 100%. I'm I'm a little bit more
bullish on ETH than Bitcoin in the
in the in the short term here.
I'm I'm glad you found me, you know, at
the new channel. So, uh folks, if hit
the like button if you came in from the
old spot.
You know, I don't I don't have nothing
negative to say about anybody, but I'm
I'm just glad that you guys came here.
You are supporting me. I do appreciate
it. I've had a lot of hectic times
trying to move here from Florida.
Selling my house in Atlanta. I had
a flood in my basement. It's cost me a
lot of money, folks, and I'm like trying
to sell it and this like the seller like
I'm trying to get everything fixed
before he buys it and we had to push
back the signing date. I was supposed to
do it on the 3rd. Today's the 9th. We
pushed it back like eight days. I'm
supposed to sign on the 11th. I've just
had a lot of uh let's just say issues
trying to to move to Florida. So, I do
appreciate all the support, folks, and
as always, thank you for sticking around
to the end. Thank you very much. And
folks, I will see you in the future.
Appreciate it. Bye-bye.
