Crypto's Fate Is Tied to Old School Finance May 20, 2022

Show notes

There's a narrative in the crypto space that digital assets are uncorrelated to other markets. In fact, the opposite is true. Francis Hunt returns to analyze Bitcoin's price action relative to forex markets, bonds, and U.S. equities. We could see a brief rally, but we're still in a "risk-off environment," says Hunt. "Do not become overly aggressive to the bullish side. People are going to call this bottom one cycle too soon." But it's not all doom and gloom from The Market Sniper. Hunt believes Federal Reserve policy is driving U.S. dollar strength, so he's trading the greenback. He walks Real Vision's Ash Bennington through his forex trades, noting that forex markets have been "the new crypto markets." Recorded on May 17, 2022.

An NFT Ecosystem Like This Is Worth Guarding May 16, 2022

Show notes

Times are rough out there in the NFT market. But Meta Angels are serious builders who create unique experiences for their holders. It starts with direct dialogue with community members in the “wishing well.” It leads to launches like Angel Labs, a 10-week accelerator for experienced operators launching NFT-enabled businesses. And it includes dropping their own marketplace for their collection. This is the kind of team and the kind of Web3 ecosystem that helps us cut through the fog of this bear market to a not-so-distant future of growth and development. There’s no question the market is at a serious low. But, speaking with Real Vision's Elaine Ly, co-founder Allyson Downey and Sarana Haeta (who works under the artist name Aslan Ruby) say investing in NFTs takes a long-term view. “This is an incredibly volatile space,” notes Downey. “You can't be in it if you don't have a strong stomach." Recorded on May 9, 2022.

Is This Bitcoin Bulls' Last Stand? May 11, 2022

Show notes

Where’s the support for Bitcoin, and what happens if that level fails to hold? Crypto analyst and trader Rekt Capital returns to offer his technical take on the steep retracement for the world’s No. 1 cryptocurrency. Rekt is paying attention to what he calls the “macro range low” because it's "the bulls' last stand." If it’s lost, we’ll likely see a macro distribution phase, where sellers dominate the market. This scenario suggests months of downside before a final capitulation event precedes the next accumulation phase. How low might Bitcoin go in this circumstance? And what's Rekt's strategy? He answers those questions and talks about a lot more with Real Vision’s Ash Bennington. Recorded on May 9, 2022. Follow Rekt Capital on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rektcapital.
