    The Iran Peace Deal Sent Stocks Ripping. Why Not Bitcoin?

    Stocks are ripping on the Iran peace deal, with the Nasdaq and the Russell 2000 both at all-time highs, but Bitcoin and gold sat the rally out. Here is why. The peace deal flipped sentiment risk-on, which lifts equities, but it leaves inflation behind, so the Fed stays stuck, cannot cut, and may hike once more in the next three months. That keeps the dollar strong, and a strong dollar is exactly what pressures Bitcoin and gold right now. My read on the timeline is that the next two to three months stay choppy for crypto and gold, with the July FOMC and Kevin Warsh's first Jackson Hole as the events to watch and a possible Fed pivot around August. By year-end, with global liquidity rising and small caps outperforming, Bitcoin, gold, and eventually altcoins look like far better value than the AI stocks everyone is crowding into. Chapters: (00:00) Stocks ripping, Bitcoin and gold left behind (03:17) The Iran peace deal: 60-day roadmap and reading the oil price (06:18) Why stocks are flying: the Nasdaq is now an AI index (08:07) Mega IPOs and the dot-com parallel: SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic (09:50) Are you in the AI bubble? Have a six-month plan (15:19) The divide: why Bitcoin and gold did not rally on peace (20:01) The Fed problem: one more hike and a strong dollar (22:50) De-dollarization 101: how the dollar drives gold and Bitcoin (26:50) The timeline: July FOMC, Jackson Hole, and a possible August pivot (30:46) Russell 2000, global liquidity, and the case for altcoins

    Bitcoin at 200W SMA. Where Are We in the Cycle?

    Bitcoin is chopping right at its 200 week moving average near $62,000, the line I use to mark when it's genuinely cheap. The framework is simple: buy at or below that line, sit on my hands through the middle of the range up toward the 50 week SMA near $91,000, and only take aggressive altcoin risk once price reclaims that upper line and confirms the bull market. Over the next six months I think two forces decide it, the AI trade and the Fed. I don't expect the AI bubble to unwind until the OpenAI and Anthropic IPOs clear around October and November, and I expect a hawkish Warsh to push one more rate hike through before Iran-driven inflation fades, with Brent crude already back under $80 and Core PCE catching up about two months out, which sets up a possible pivot around Jackson Hole. I also walk through the exact dates I'm watching: the FOMC meetings, the October 6 one-year mark, and the November midterms. Chapters: (00:00) Bitcoin at the 200 week SMA and what that line means (04:39) Why no one can call the exact bottom (07:09) The Coiners dashboard and the bull/bear indicator (10:38) The accumulation zone, buying Bitcoin when it's cheap (13:03) The same framework on ETH, SOL, and XRP (15:31) Global liquidity and the altcoin charts that matter (17:13) Hawkish vs dovish, QE, and what moves altcoins (20:27) The six month timeline and the midterm election risk (24:22) AI bubble timing, Iran, and the path to a Fed pivot (30:16) Red, blue, green, the price zone playbook

    LIVE: New Fed Chair Warsh's First FOMC. How will it Impact Markets?

    New Fed Chair Kevin Warsh held rates at 3.5 to 3.75% in his first FOMC, which markets had already priced at 99%, so the real signal was everything he said around the decision rather than the decision itself. The biggest tell: Warsh wants to change how the Fed measures inflation, swapping core PCE for trimmed mean PCE, a number that currently reads closer to 2.3% and would give the Fed far more room to eventually cut. The committee also dropped its easing bias, and Warsh leaned hard on price stability while refusing to give any forward guidance, which reads as a hawkish Fed for now. My read is short-term bearish, long-term bullish: Trump picked Warsh to find a path back to rate cuts, but he needs oil and inflation to come down and his new framework to land before he can move. On positioning, I think Bitcoin still has room to the mid-50s before the bottom is in, so I am holding 80% BTC and 20% cash and waiting to deploy that last piece lower. Chapters: (00:00) FOMC Day: Warsh's First Decision as Fed Chair (02:02) The Inflation Gauge Switch: Core PCE to Trimmed Mean (06:05) Dropping the Easing Bias (09:53) Warsh's Opening: Rates Held, Price Stability Pledge (24:05) Press Conference Q&A: Holding the 2% Target (33:05) How Restrictive Are Rates?

    Live Trading the SpaceX IPO. Is there still upside?

    SpaceX just pulled off the biggest IPO in history: it sold out at $135 a share, raised $75 billion, and opened on the Nasdaq under SPCX trading around $170, near a $2 trillion valuation. At that size I'm not treating it as a buy-and-hold, but the volatility is the opportunity. I walk through trading the $158 to $178 range with a neutral grid bot, the satellite-stock proxies like EchoStar, Rocket Lab, and AST SpaceMobile that already repriced, and the crypto angle: DePIN names like Helium plus the closest narrative match, Spacecoin. The real lesson came from the pre-IPO mess. Hyperliquid's SpaceX perp tracked the live price the whole way and rolled straight into a live market, while the tokenized pre-IPO stocks hit a surprise six-month lockup and Bybit, Binance, and Bitget all had to refund everyone 100% when their allocations fell short. From here I'm doing pre-IPO exposure through 1x perps. No leverage, no liquidation risk. Chapters: (00:00) SpaceX IPO recap, $135 listing, $75B raised, $2T cap (01:31) Three ways to trade the volatility (02:58) Range trading $158 to $178 with a grid bot (08:08) Satellite stock proxy bets, SATS, LUNR, RKLB, ASTS (10:53) Crypto DePIN proxies, Helium and World Mobile (12:13) Spacecoin, the closest SpaceX narrative coin (14:26) Pre-IPO tokenized stocks and the six-month lockup (18:06) Why perps beat pre-IPO spot on Hyperliquid (19:34) Exchange pre-IPO refunds, Bybit, Binance, Bitget (22:34) The 1x perp playbook and tokenized SpaceX platforms

    Black Monday in AI Stocks. Is This the Top?

    AI stocks had a Black Monday. South Korea's Kospi fell 8.29% in a single day and hit its third circuit breaker of the year, the NYSE semiconductor index dropped over 10% on the open, and chip names like Broadcom, Arm and Marvell beat earnings but still sold off. My read is the bubble has roughly six more months left, because the real liquidity event isn't earnings, it's the wave of mega-IPOs: SpaceX on June 12, then OpenAI and Anthropic by year-end. SpaceX is going public at a $1.75 trillion valuation with 30% of the float aimed at retail and a NASDAQ rule change that fast-tracks it into the NASDAQ 100 fifteen days after listing, which reads a lot more like exit liquidity than a value buy. I also break down Apple's new Siri, the first phone agent normal people might actually use, and why the NASDAQ is the index I'd want off my book once all three IPOs are public in Q4. Chapters: (00:00) Is the AI rally over? Black Monday in AI stocks (02:47) Black Monday across semis: Kospi, the SOX, and NYSE chips (03:55) Chip earnings beat but stocks didn't: Broadcom, Arm, Marvell, Micron (06:10) Why the bubble won't burst yet: IPOs are the liquidity event (08:59) Apple's new Siri as a real AI agent, and why the harness matters (18:37) The SpaceX IPO: $1.75 trillion, three companies in one (22:06) Why the SpaceX IPO looks like a retail trap (26:03) NASDAQ vs S&P 500: the index most exposed to the burst (30:25) How to actually trade SpaceX: Hyperliquid, Pre Stocks, and xStocks (40:22) When the AI bubble bursts: the Q4 three-IPO timeline
