BITCOIN REVEALED: The True Story | September 24, 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
everything. [music] 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 for Verified
Investing. And today we got to talk
about Black Rockck leaning in even
further with crypto had massive amounts
of Bitcoin ETF inflows. But that's not
the main story. It is Black Rockck
teaming up with Ono. And we're going to
look at Ono. We're going to look at the
pump. We're going to kind of find some
key levels for that one and break down
what exactly that partnership means. and
look back at a Onondo call that I made
five days ago because you guys have been
asking me about Ono. I gave a quick
little TA and we're going to check on
that folks. We're even going to look at
a little bit of a glimpse of the prior
stream, folks. So, go ahead, smash that
like button. Appreciate all the support,
folks. Uh, except for all of the haters
in the comments talking about my
mustache, but maybe I'll save the rant
for the end of the stream, folks. Let's
look at Bitcoin's chart, everybody.
Bitcoin looking pretty good. that is uh
now starting to move to the upside here.
Now, this is the resistance area that we
have been talking about for a long long
time. And this is just going back to
February no November low right there
into the May 6 high. And I mean, we
could really stretch that out. So, you
can see the exact levels that we're
referring to when we're talking about
this area of resistance. And you see
Bitcoin beat against it, beat against
it. We actually had a couple longs that
from yesterday that we put in there. So,
I had one right below into the wick here
and one in the middle. I'm just going to
remove that, clean up the screen a
little bit. It missed our entry. It
missed our entry by like a laughably
small amount, but Bitcoin coming into
our area. These are 4hour candles. This
is after we went live yesterday. We've
been talking about this level and that
level we've been talking about was
support, but I'm I'm honestly I'm a
little frustrated our target didn't get
hit. It made me felt like I was being
watched by the Bitcoin gods and they're
like, "Nope, nope. Your long isn't going
to fill." Now, we do have the, you know,
the small amount just kind of a play
amount just to have our trade open
still. But right now, Bitcoin kind of
chopping around that level. It really uh
it really is bad when your level just
gets missed, right? You know, just by
like a little bit too. And in the
meantime, watching this ascending trend
line uh on the charts, we could also
pull it up right here. Let me expand the
screen here. This isn't the cleanest
trend line, but if you go from this one
to this one, you'll see all right, you
know, got a little bit of area. And if
you want to even move it up a little bit
more, might be some potential targets to
the upside, but kind of watching this as
a potential area of resistance. So,
that's what we're looking at on Bitcoin.
Now, there is, of course, the
liquidation heat map. I know you guys
like seeing the liquidation heat map, so
go ahead and throw it to you here as
well. This is going to be uh right here.
Now, that's Zcash. We're going to show
Zcash a little bit later. You can see
there is a level a level above and a
level below. They're kind of equal, but
look at the extra liquidations to the
downside. You see more bright colors
right above $82,000
more than what you see above $86,000.
And so, that's just temp, you know,
typically it'll suggest that there's
going to be a little bit more of a
magnet to that price area. Again, it
isn't a guarantee. It's just kind of how
you see it playing out uh a lot of the
time and we've been watching that
liquidation heat map and it's really
been playing out. But now let's talk
about Black Rockck. Did Black Rockck
continue to buy Bitcoin for their
clients? Of course. Yes, they did.
Almost 2,000 Bitcoin. We had $347
million. Four out of the funds that did,
you know, have movement in the markets,
they were all buyers. Of course, there's
like eight or nine, six, seven. There's
like six, seven different issuers.
There's there's closer to 10. And I'm
just kind of joking there. But net total
4,000 Bitcoin bought by Wall Street on
behalf of their clients. But Black
Rockck, that's not where it ends, folks.
Now, they were the largest buyer, but
what else happened with Black Rockck?
Well, I'll tell you that. That was they
teamed up with Ono. That's right. Smash
the like button if you like Onondo. If
you're mad at me for, you know, not
being as bullish on it as you are. Yeah,
we're we're going to talk about
Litecoin. I I did get a short in on that
one. Uh you want to see some Arweave?
Gez, what is this? 2022. Uh Black Rockck
though teaming up with Ono to tokenize
model portfolios. So they have three
model portfolios. They have they have
seven total. Black Rockck's working with
for three of their seven new total and
is going to be high income diversified
growth and high growth. And Onondo is
going to tokenize those letting eligible
this is important non US investors. Now
if we see US investors that's going to
be even more money but they could trade
these 247.
It's the first time Black Rockck has
outsourced tokenization of their model
portfolios to another term. And each
portfolio, they're going to have a mix
of stocks, bonds, Bitcoin, ETFs,
depending on the strategy. Ono has a
single token tracking each portfolio.
So, think of it as a token tracking an
ETF and self-executing software is going
to buy it and uh as investors buy in.
And so, it's going to buy those ETF
shares automatically when you're
triggering a buy on the blockchain. So,
pretty cool stuff there. Now, Black
Rockck, not the manager, sponsor or
distributor there, you know, maybe a
little bit of a key target, but let's go
back and look at my Onondo calls. This
is a stream from five days ago. Uh the
title, if you want to find it yourself,
bare market officially over. This is
from 5 days ago. And you guys asked me
about Ono, you know, I say, you know, go
ahead spam those tokens, you know, in
the comment section. If I got time, I
will look at them. Well, this was a
trend line from this peak to that wick
right there. So, the question is, well,
you know what's happening in the charts
now? What are we seeing in the charts?
I'll tell you what happened. Oh, let me
let me hide it. That's the trend line.
Let me uh show the screen here. That's
the trend line right here. It's moving
down. There's the wick I was talking
about. There's the wick. This is an old
trend line that I placed in. And we we
went above. We went above. Oh, I already
gave it away right there, folks. Look at
that. it actually came to our level. And
so if you're like, you know what, he may
be a hater, but you know, maybe he he
was even wrong on where Andondo is going
to head, but his TA was right. The TA
played out beautifully, folks. And
that's where we ended up seeing a nice
pump right there. Let's zoom in to the
one minute. Yeah, right now it's just
Oh, that's interesting. Just keeps
crabing upwards here. Now, an ascending
parallel typically, you know, 60 65% of
the time will break to the downside, but
this is barely moving to the upside. So,
I mean, you can almost make an argument
that h you know what, it's not even uh
moving up high enough for me. But right
now, it just seems like it's kind of
chopping around in a range.
It just had a nice little pump off that
news uh too, folks. And you know what? I
I'm not even going to lie. I thought
about longing it and maybe I should
have. Let me know down in the comments
because I saw this news right when it
happened and then it started to pull
back. I was looking at a long. I should
have pulled the trigger on that one. Uh
let's get our measuring tool. We're
using Bit Base. We have a Bitbase
special. I'm going to tell youall about
16%. So, nice little move. Nice little
move. Let's look at some of the other
major movers, folks. What are we looking
at with Ethereum?
Ethereum is another one that just came
to our level. I didn't have long order
set. I put the long order set on
Bitcoin. I did not put them on Ethereum.
But if we go to the one hour, yeah, this
was the trend line that we threw out a
while ago. It's kind of going to the
wicks. Going to the wicks. Going to the
wicks and we saw this the other day. I
was like, "Oh, wow. Look at that. It
kissed our level. The ETH gods gave us
another entry and I didn't I didn't have
the order set." But end up bouncing off
there. But right now, I'm not liking
this red candle on the 1 hour. But if we
go to the daily, I do have some higher
targets, everybody. Number one, I'm just
kind of looking at the $2,900 range. And
that's going to be from this ascending
trend line and this descending trend
line. Let me get it looking better. Uh
descending trend line where it
intersects with the three wicks, not the
one. That's why this might need to move
up just a little bit closer to 2900.
And that's Yeah, right there. Boom.
Boom. Boom. You see it right here. right
around the $2,900 range. So, if we do
end up bouncing, man, I'll tell you
what, if I see it hitting this level
again and the RSI is looking good, we
are going to go long. I would close that
long on ETH right around $2900, folks.
Now, let's look at the oil chart. Reason
I'm showing you this. There was rumors
rumors of a deal between US and Iran.
The only reason I'm bringing this up is
it had a lot of effect on Bitcoin, on a
lot of altcoins right there. But I I was
in the office and I was like, "Where's
the source? Where's the source?" And
they're like, "Well, it's it's Reuters."
And I didn't see Reuters post about it.
I didn't see it on Reuters.com. I saw
Yahoo reference Reuters, but even then
it didn't have a link. And I don't know.
Last time we've seen a deal like this,
someone announced it was 5 days ago and
we saw it just flatly rejected uh very
shortly thereafter. Now I'm wondering is
this the same situation where you know
the oil market started creeping up,
stocks were down, cryptos down and so
you know you kind of maybe maybe it
float a rumor of a fake deal and the
fact that it's pulling back up it's
increasing the odds that it is a fake
deal. Now I don't know for sure. I'm not
hanging out with the the delegation at
the UN. I don't, you know, I'm not like
listening with a cup next to the wall or
anything, but you know, uh, if it's a
fake deal, we're gonna see, uh, maybe
oil is going to keep going up. And if
oil's going up, it's going to be harder
for the stock market to pump, harder for
Bitcoin and your altcoins to pump. Uh,
Doge looking at a potential breakout. I
tell you what, we will check it out
towards the end of the stream. I don't
mind pulling up a Doge chart. I'm not
above a Doge chart, everybody. All
right, let's look at Litecoin. Litecoin
had a massive rally today. It is in fact
the largest gainer in the top 25, top
30. Uh only is beating it in the top
100. And these are 4hour candles that
we're looking at. So 1 2 3 4 5 6. I mean
this one's just kind of forming 25% at
one point. Right now it's pulled back,
you know, a little bit closer to 23% 25
actually. Huge huge pump for Litecoin.
What is going on with Litecoin? What are
the Litecoin levels? Well, number one,
there's increased volume.
And if I had to guess, I think it's the
whales. Back in the day, and maybe we're
starting to see that replicate here,
when Bitcoin would pump, you would then
see other major altcoins pump. You would
see Ethereum pump, Salana wasn't even
out at this time, you would see Litecoin
pump. Uh, you know, maybe you start to
see a Cardano pump, but then after that,
you would see the smaller cap tokens.
You would see like a Dash pump. So,
maybe that's what's happening here.
Bitcoin pumps, some of the liquidity,
some of the profits roll into Litecoin.
After Litecoin pumps, then maybe some of
the smaller cap tokens, maybe a chain
link, something an AVAC, maybe that
pumps and then it will go down to the
meme coins and then all the money is
wiped out and then after it falls, it
goes back to Bitcoin and then the cycle
repeats. So, uh, just a little I don't
know, maybe we even call that the tip of
the day, folks. That was the old
liquidity cycle. I'm not sure if that's
what we're seeing here, but maybe folks.
So, what am I looking at? I'm looking at
the April 7th level from 2025.
It's going to be all the way back here.
And you see it uh hit the tops of these
candles. Continue to extend that. Yeah,
you got you got it very, very close. I'm
looking at the $76 range. Now, next, we
got the fib retrace. What's the fib
retrace? It's going to be the high that
we saw into the low that we saw. And
when you do a fib, you always want to go
chronologically. So, there's no world in
where we'd start from the bottom and
move it up. You always go from the left
to the right time-wise, unless you're a
time traveler. And I don't I don't think
you are. Maybe you are. I don't. If you
are, tell me what altcoin to buy. That's
what I would say. Uh this is right there
intersecting. Basically, we have a 382
uh pullback there. Very, very close to
that level. So that's two factors. And
we got a third factor from February
2026. That's going to be this low right
here. Kind of where you see it hitting
hit, rejects, rejects, rejects, rejects,
and nice little coinciding triple factor
short that I'm going to be eyeing for
Litecoin. And I did put this out on the
website, by the way, verified.com.
If you want to check it out, we put out
a lot of free content, free articles,
free chart setups. You do have to sign
up, but it doesn't cost anything if you
want to just get some of the basic
knowledge. And there's an app. There's a
on the app store or Google Play, folks.
If you're still using a Google, I like
Google. I like Google. Ain't nothing
wrong with the Google phone, folks. Uh,
now you did say you want to see
Dogecoin. Let me type that in and then
we'll jump to the charts here. Doge.
Doge.
Wow. What do we got going on with the
Doge chart here? I'm seeing a little bit
of a trend line, folks. seeing a little
bit of a potential area to take some
profit if it does continue to pump.
That's what I would be watching. And
then we also have maybe a little bit of
a wedge pattern starting to form. Now, a
rising wedge, which this is slightly
rising, is bearish. But it isn't
pointing too far upwardly. And so maybe
there's, you know, definitely hope for
this to break to the upside. But right
now, Doge is kind of trapped between two
different levels, folks. So keep an eye
out on that. I can give you the price
targets. the upside right above 10
cents. Uh the downside right above eight
cents. So, it's just going to be trapped
between those two pennies. Now, I did
get a long uh I'm sorry, a short. I
posted this I posted this at 11:00 a.m.
Big shout out to Bitbase here. So, I'm
I'm giving out some levels. So, you
know, if there is a trade setup, we're
not live. You know, if you do want to
follow me, you can check that out. I'm
giving you the levels. Speaking of
Bitbase, one, they're cool enough to
sponsor us. Two, they're giving you guys
an exclusive deposit reward. This is
only for the verified investing crowd
here. I'm only giving it to you guys
here. Unlock up to a 20% deposit bonus
in fee rebate. So, uh, this is going to
be up to 10K 20%. So, if you put in
a,000, $200 off your fees. Now, I'm not
suggesting this, but the higher the
leverage, the higher the fees. Some
people don't like to use high leverage
because of the fees. They like to keep
the leverage low. Keeps the fees low.
But, you know, if you did, that's that's
going to be a way to just totally offset
those fees there. So, we're going to
have a link down below if you want to
check that out. Now, I do have a short I
have a current entry. The entry from
yesterday, we I try to give you a live
entry every single day. Uh those those
two trades that we closed yesterday
ended up uh in profit. Uh we'll check on
those in a second. I'll give you the
tickers. One was Bitcoin. We had a long
right before and then we had a uh
another one on near, I believe it was.
Right now, I'm looking at a short on
Zcash. Now, I do think long-term, this
is going to be a good level. Uh, it
looks a little bit better on the 4 hour.
This ascending trend line, the daily RSI
is looking ugly. It is looking so ugly.
So, and now I feel like the shorts are
starting to favor. This is what they
call a bearish divergence on Zcash. You
see the price higher highs, RSI, lower
highs. This is what they call a bare
div. And so you can see how it's kind of
just going lower. The RSI on the bottom
stands for relative strength index. And
it's just showing the strength between
the buyers and the sellers. I don't mean
in like a slap fight or a arm wrestling
match, but it is essentially arm
wrestling with the the market order book
with the order book here. And right now
it is showing not a lot of strength, a
diminishing strength in the order book
as the price climbs higher. But we have
a shortterm uh little area of
liquidations that I'm kind of watching,
folks. Uh it's looking pretty
interesting to me here. And I'll show
you why in a second. Now, look at these
wicks. So, I got some longs right along
these wicks right here. Now, if we get
blasted out, yeah, we're probably Yeah,
we're going to close slight loss. You
know, you want to keep your your losers
small. You want to keep your winners,
you know, just have a lot more winners
than losers. That's how you end up
winning. it might end up uh playing with
this level, but I'm looking at something
that's, you know, maybe giving me a
little bit of a hint, and that's going
to be this liquidation heat map. Hold
on, let's uh do this one right here. Uh
this right now, yeah, you can see we are
clearing out shorts and leaving some
longs down below. So, the people
shorting, they got liquidated and now
might be time to liquidate the long. So,
that's what I'm looking at on the Zcash
chart. It's making me feel a little bit
bullish about a short here. and we're
slightly in profit. We're basically at
break even. But this is uh that's the
light entry. You don't go all in. You
you you know, you only want to do like a
10% of your entry there and save some
dry powder for some of these wicks. If
you only get 10% of your order filled,
that's fine. That is totally fine.
That's how you keep the trades in the
winning column. Now, I saw your comments
about the low cap runners. A little bit
mixed. A little bit mixed. But I will
say the one that I kind of, you know,
was most bullish on yesterday was knots.
Remember the the ston ecosystem in
Salana? It's just going crazy. It's
where you hold something, you kind of
get paid at underlying asset. Maybe you
can get paid GameStop, you can get paid
him, you can get paid uh you know,
SpaceX, Tesla just for holding a
memecoin. Stunk, you know, ston from the
uh what do they call it? The real uh
Wall Street Bets crowd from the Reddit
crowd there. Knots gave you knots. We
looked at it on screen. It is up 35%
today. So, if you did jump in on that
one with me, take some profits, folks.
Especially when it's these small cap
coins, everybody. Uh, could it be
considered rock paper scissors? A little
bit. Yeah, sure. Sure. The buyers and
the sellers. Rock paper scissors. Thumb
wars. Uh, maybe tether ball. You know,
who remembers tether ball? Two square.
Four square. Smash the like button if
you played a lot of four square and
jammed your finger. Now, back to the
crash out. You guys talking about my
mustache. Don't make me shave my beard
and I will grow out my mustache. Not
only will I grow out my mustache, I will
shave my head and I will thicken it.
Okay? I will thicken it. I will gel it
up. I will grow it long. I will curl it
like some sort of cartoon villain. Do
not tint me on the mustache. All right?
Uh you know, I'll keep giving you keep
giving you good TA, but if you guys talk
about my mustache one more time, I swear
I swear. But go ahead, smash the like
button, everybody. I do appreciate uh
all the love, all the support here.
We're going to be back tomorrow. It's
going to be a special episode. We don't
we haven't been doing Fridays all that
often, but we are going to do a Friday
episode 1:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
Same time, everybody. You guys are going
crazy on the uh on the hair here. But I
I love all the support. I will see you
folks in the future. Appreciate you
sticking around to the end. As always,
byebye.
