00:00gain and pain btc hits a new all-time high only to crash on bad ppi data and concerns around a

00:11u.s strategic reserve you okay hun solana has had a rough few months as ethereum has hogged the

00:18spotlight is it all over for sol or is it just biding its time ethereum's hottest plays when

00:26money starts rotating into projects in ethereum's ecosystem then we reckon these are some of the

00:32ones to watch and where their prices might be heading and a look at last week's top performers

00:38tweets of the week dates for your diary heroes and villains and much more besides this is the coin

00:44bureau news live

00:46gm boys and girls one and all happy monday and welcome to the coin bureau weekly news live stream

00:56my name of course is nick guy how you doing i'm okay thanks nick i would be holding up holding up

01:02unlike bitcoin's price i've been holding up yeah we were rubbed overnight weren't we we really were

01:08the asians got ahead of us and just hit sell button yeah and there doesn't seem to be any particular

01:13reason for it there's no sort of big catalyst out there that seems to have we just seem to have

01:18gone lower just risk off because of what's happening this week in the macro side of it so

01:22yeah it's unfortunate but we'll be talking about that of course guys the bitcoin price we'll also

01:26be looking at a few other things in the news as well for exciting things to look forward to

01:29for one is the most some of ethereum's potential hottest plays you know ethereum beta plays so we

01:35want to look at at least three that have been performing very well but that could be doing even

01:39better in the next few weeks also we take a look at uh solana if it's if it's going to be able to

01:45recover it seems to be the most beaten down asset now right it's attention has rotated or or um it's

01:52people have rotated from dunking on eth to dunking on soul instead the consensus is to dunk on soul

01:57night could be the most hated asset which could mean potentially a most hated rally yeah so we'll have

02:02to see about that and of course we're looking at top performers uh tweets of the week and all the

02:06other things besides but guys let us know down in the comments how you feel in today how's the

02:11sentiment looking and we'll come back to it after the bitcoin section absolutely and of course do

02:16not forget to hit up those like buttons subscribe hit that bell as well do all the regular things hit

02:27you don't have my look no no i think it's very nice sophisticated you know yeah last week we were

02:32the uh ibiza final boss yes quite a change of in fact z trader would like to would like to say yay

02:40thanks for not putting us through those costumes from last week how do you know that quite a lot of

02:44effort we actually had to get those hit that hair cut specifically for that look i'm sitting there in

02:50the office we had to get a cut with a bowl on our heads so the time and effort that went into that

02:54costume guys you guys don't appreciate it so i know i know uh to say yeah i mean had to sit here

02:59for well over an hour looking like a pair of absolute walley's um keeps format one of our i

03:04should say now former hall uh wall of fame as well nick is handsome uh handsome looking as always and guy

03:09is nice thanks for tuning in keep it nice guy yeah thank you thank you well you know i don't have

03:15these i don't have these uh these colored spectacles to uh i mean pull off the look with yeah you can't

03:20just go shopping mate let's go to the buy more this weekend well you know now the ethers now the

03:24ethers dipped again i'm having to rein in my spending okay that's the thing to do anyway guys

03:32let us know the the sentiments and let's dive right in with the bitcoin price as per usual and let's roll

03:37back to what happened last week uh so if you'll recall back to last week's monday stream uh bitcoin

03:43rallied a lot on monday morning and it opened up a big cme gap and i alluded to this in the stream i was

03:50oh guys come on

03:51yes that's me i was like guys you gotta be careful because there's a big cme gap that's

03:58opened up and i know it's looking good i know things are great that's a great green candle over

04:02there we go in on the stairway to heaven but you notice that we do have a gap and as usually gaps get

04:08closed about 80 of the time and over the past three months we've been tracking and they've always

04:13been closing but anyways that happened on monday tuesday markets were unfortunately moving lower

04:19and heading towards that gap but then we had a bit of good news come out and that was the cpi numbers

04:25uh so the cpi numbers came out and they were surprisingly below expectations and this led to

04:31a rally in the price of bitcoin and eth and all other crypto assets i think so this is this is a good

04:37example of i think not the first time this week that traders sort of you know looking at where

04:42um you know where prices might be going got pretty badly wiped out because i think you know given

04:48given those um given those two charts i think a lot of people probably shorted thinking we were going

04:52lower yeah you don't want a position with a short or long going into some sort of a data release like

04:57that um wednesday the rally continued as optimism around a rate high continued and mr besant came out

05:04and said well i think we could even get 50 basis points in the september cut potentially 150 to

05:09175 by the uh well he says that's what he thinks it should be lower by okay yeah okay so it looked

05:16like it looked like rate cuts could be on the menu it seems like it's on the menu the probabilities

05:20seem to have also suggested that people are pricing that in uh then on thursday can you believe this

05:26bitcoin actually broke through a new all-time high yeah which is crazy because you wouldn't have

05:31thought it in terms of sentiment it's just yeah i think of i think of all the sort of recent bitcoin

05:37all-time highs this one sort of passed with the least comment it was it was kind of really shrugged

05:42off it's kind of like just yeah well that's so what okay yeah of course bitcoin's going to break an

05:46all-time high that's what bitcoin does well do you know what nick everyone was thinking hmm but but nick

05:51pointed out that cme gap and without that closed this is this this rally has no legs you guys heeded my

05:57cautions yes exactly the canary in the coal mine the canary in that bitcoin cme gap um we got the ppi

06:05numbers that came out unfortunately because that is what sent us lower because these were much higher

06:12than expected quite a shock actually surprisingly both on the core and on the headline numbers

06:17yeah and then speaking of scott besson the guy came out with a bit of a confusion here he came out and

06:23said i think oh we're not going to be buying bitcoin for the whatever the government is not

06:27going to be buying bitcoin but then seeing all the reactions on crypto twitter and seeing everyone

06:32replying to him in comments and basically crapping them out yeah he basically thought i got to walk

06:36that back immediately the most important constituent is angry yeah he well he probably checked his

06:41portfolio as well um it's i don't know like all this strategic reserve stuff it's just it it seems

06:49so sort of meaningless i'm i'm kind of a bit surprised that that is still budget making headlines

06:54but yeah budget neutral way like i think everyone knows they're not going to go and buy some

06:58you know they're certainly not going to tell everyone i don't know why people really were so

07:02so surprised by that but you know very very fickle crypto investors um this of course led to lots

07:08liquidations and lo and behold we did indeed come back and close the hallowed cme gap there we go

07:16closed it on a thursday evening which was generally could be considered good news in the sense that we

07:21can go higher without having to worry about coming to close the gap but unfortunately markets kept

07:26falling on friday and this was as a result of firstly besson's comments but then also anticipation around

07:33the uh the alaska summit for trump and putin regarding the ukraine war yeah there seems to be

07:41there this seems to have been a lot of uncertainty around this because no one sort of really knows

07:46how this is going to pan out yeah exactly yeah well we'll see see today um there was some bullish

07:52news on friday evening though and this was the that the fed would end scrutiny of banks working within

07:57crypto so it seems as if the final nail in the coffin of choke point 2.0 yeah that's been hit

08:03this is one of the crazy things about this cycle you know you get a bit of good news like this like

08:07operation choke choke point 2.0 was an absolute disaster for the crypto industry and you know it

08:13it did so much damage and this is it finally coming to an end and yet this sort of just passes as oh yeah

08:20there's a bit of good news oh no they're not adding they're not buying for the strategic reserve

08:25down we go it's yeah it seems disproportional you know a bit of bad news causes a massive dump a bit

08:31of good news meh no one cares the most greedy the most greedy individuals like honestly yeah we just

08:36celebrate your wins guys uh the weekend it was relatively quiet although unfortunately as we've

08:42alluded to now the overnight we did crash especially this morning at dubai time and the liquidations this

08:48morning were also great so we're now currently sitting at around 115 or so okay uh and now the

08:55most important question is what's coming because this week does have two big i would say or three

09:00macro events i mean one is of course today is a very important day trump is meeting zelensky in the

09:04oval office they'll be joined by european leaders as well as guess who else who else is joining you um did

09:11you say thank you oh oh oh i thought um i thought jd vance was um still on holiday in the uk oh he was

09:19in holiday in the uk he took a holiday in the uk and everyone got really hit up about it like there

09:25were pictures of him pictures of him like fishing with the foreign secretary i've also heard a story

09:29that apparently like the police were going around to local villagers and asking them to check their

09:33social media to make sure they weren't all yeah i saw something there's a headline like that yeah yeah

09:38yeah basically went on holiday in a very sort of sleepy and affluent part of the country and

09:42everyone kind of lost their minds a bit about it well he is now it seems to be have returned to the

09:46white house to go and lecture zelensky again uh i'm sure zelensky is delighted about that

09:52well he's a good mediator he's a calm mediator so anyways so that's what's to have watched for uh

09:58today uh we've got fomc minutes on on wednesday so keep an eye out for that now good news we didn't

10:03have any there's no unclosed cme gaps from last week that's good that's definitely so it could

10:08be a clean run now i guess the question is price wise we have struggled on the weekly so if you

10:12look at the weekly chart you'll see that we've struggled to close above a key level of resistance

10:17at about 119.6 k over the past seven weeks even though we've hit all-time highs in during the week

10:23we haven't been able to close above 119 120 k um now zooming into the daily um this is the daily

10:31chart now that's the we've got an ascending try ascending wedge over there and you'll notice that

10:37the bottom trend line of that descending wedge has been going up to the right since april since april

10:43lows and unfortunately today it seems to have broken below that wedge um which we'd have to watch where

10:49it closes today ideally you wanted to close above the 117k level it's also fallen below the 50-day moving

10:55average so the momentum seems to you know that's another key level that it may have been broken so

11:00a lot will depend on where we close today if it indeed you know rallies are backing above 117 to

11:06118 k we can hold that wedge um other levels if we do keep breaking down potentially could look at

11:12about 111 to 114 k which is not only a key zone of support but it's also where the golden fibonacci ratio is

11:19um that's the that's the daily now i think it's also important to know just to zoom out a bit we can

11:24see that generally if you look at thanks guys that's a very charming picture um so

11:33you'll notice like our previous runs and draw unlike retracements from the all-time highs we've

11:37been breaking this year speaking of it's been much you see how much smaller the the retracements have

11:43been yeah from 31 in january 12 in may nine percent in july and six percent in august so the trend is

11:50the trend is our friend here it seems as if you know i wouldn't be too worried too worried about

11:55it in terms of cycle cycle loads or circle i mean cycle highs so we've still got some way to go okay

12:01but of course if you guys want a daily updates on what's going on in the markets you want to follow

12:05some traders break down the technicals and all uh we will refer you to the coin bureau trading channel

12:10and uh you can subscribe over there by hitting that qr code or indeed the qr code in the top right of

12:16the screen go and give the guys a follow we are at 90 i think we're 90 94.5 or 95k so almost 100k

12:25come on guys as soon as coin bureau trading gets over 100k subscribers that's when altcoin season

12:30really begins i have it on i have it on good authority that's the key metric yeah key technical

12:34indicator yeah that's enough that's in coin bureau's twitter uh getting over 1 million so you know you've

12:39got to push those numbers high higher guys and you will be rewarded for it guys rookie numbers come on

12:43okay um do you want to do you want to look at the sentiment in the comments okay um uh nori reckons

12:50your sunnies will get us past 130k this week yeah that's why i'm wearing them the bullish sunglasses

12:56um a lot of talk about the uk holy macaroni wants to live in a castle in the uk trust me energy bills

13:02uh there you'll it'll cost you a fortune to heat it you you don't want that it's impossible to heat

13:06even enough yeah very difficult very difficult you know having lived in a castle in the uk for so many

13:12years i can i can tell you that from experience you lived in a castle no no i just i just like to

13:19i just like to make people believe that yeah sure yeah i did yeah yeah just just a guy yeah just a

13:24small living in the cotswold in a nice stone castle yeah you know just just just a few you know a few

13:30hundred rooms nothing big um uh roman is i think feeling probably like a lot of traders are market

13:35makers used it for their game of taking out longs and shorts it did kind of feel like that didn't it

13:39yeah you know over the last few days walks like a duck quacks like a duck you know maybe it's

13:44manipulation yeah and actually i like this comment from space as well that crypto so fragile and

13:49skittish doesn't bode well you think it'd be more resilient given its history but here we are

13:53i think yeah i kind of agree like it's people there are a lot of paper hands out there it's too many

13:59what's up but i think i don't know if it's the individual if it's individuals or institutions

14:02because institutions are still new to the game maybe they're like oh my god bitcoin's falling

14:06need to sell out quickly you know yeah so i hope they don't have they have more fortitude when it

14:11comes to actually holding through a real retracement you know yeah yeah this is nothing this is like a

14:18retracement for rants guys like piss willy little retracement okay okay well not to worry we'll be fine

14:24okay um now let's talk about so recently so much of the talk has been with ethereum ethereum has

14:31regained its layer one crown um of course narrative follows price um but there are plenty of reasons

14:37and we discussed some on last week's show why ethereum has been performing so well but uh this

14:43means with every with every winner in crypto there has to be at least one loser and i think you could

14:49probably argue that the loser of the last few months whilst ethereum has been performing so well has

14:53been solana solana yes i mean solana has been struggling from a price action perspective let's first

14:59point to that it's been struggling to break above that key 200 resistance level uh and we came close

15:04last week i think we hit it but we hit it but then it broke down uh again yeah and but that's not the

15:10most depressing chart the most depressing chart is indeed the eth soul chart so i mean this is well

15:15this is the eth soul or the soul eth whichever whichever way you want to look at it but that is

15:20since the may lows eth has outperformed soul by a hundred and nineteen percent and what's even more

15:27depressing than that is i i think that there's quite a few people who actually went short this

15:31ratio so basically went short uh eth and long soul which didn't end up well for them yeah but anyways

15:37i mean that's price action as we know so many times fundamentals is you know it's detached from price

15:42action and uh in this particular case there are some really big things to look out for coming in solana's

15:48ecosystem right yeah because i think you know as you say so much of the focus comes on price but there's

15:53i've been there's a lot of building going on um the network is moving forward um i think first and

15:59foremost we should look at these two uh these two infra upgrades that are in the pipeline alpenglow and

16:04fire dancer right yep exactly so fire dance the new uh validator client i think it's been rolled out now

16:10so that's a lot of people are focused on that it's been a big thing coming uh for in terms of an upgrade

16:14yeah um and then there's also the seeker phone that's been released right yeah now this doesn't seem to

16:19have sort of you know um broken any records or anything but um from looking at reviews of it and

16:25and you know sort of chatter online about it it definitely seems to it rolled out a few weeks ago

16:29or started rolling out a few weeks ago um it definitely seems to be an improvement on the earlier

16:35model the saga um as you can see from block works there um solana mobile heard the critics so i think

16:40a lot of the shortcomings of the earlier device have been addressed um and also pre-orders were were

16:47pretty good 150 000 units worldwide i think for the first one it was about 20 000. so you know

16:53definitely stats picking up in the right direction now obviously they're going to want to see a lot

16:56more uptake than that for it to be you know really declared a success but certainly moving in the right

17:01direction solana mobile's working out that's great yeah um oh on the infra side talking about

17:06infra upgrades uh just recently in fact today i think it was solana actually broke through 100 000

17:14transactions per second on main in mainnet so that's a good that's a good you know it's obviously

17:20scalable and you know performance so that's great yeah it didn't it didn't go down didn't go down

17:25exactly right not down for it's been a long time now since it's been a long time since solana went

17:29down good good job the solana engineers there yeah uh and the validators uh also speaking of other

17:36things and investment vehicles so we recently had the news of the solana etf this is the rex rex osprey

17:43it's one of the first staking etfs out there yeah so that's launched they've also got a

17:47leveraged etf coming soon so the etf game is as an altcoin after bitcoin ethereum is there yep and of

17:54course uh one of the things that's been driving uh eth and also uh bitcoin as well uh recently has been

18:00the corporate accumulation this treasury strategy now obviously um btc and eth have been the big winners

18:05of this but sol i think you can say is probably coming is bringing up in third place in terms of the

18:11number of companies adopting sole treasury strategies exactly yeah there's upexi one of

18:16them but there's also defy development corp uh sole strategies and many others apparently that could be

18:21launching soon you know apparently according to rumors i'm sure we're going to get plenty more of

18:26that many that are lined up for sure this this this met has still got a still got a bit of wind in

18:30its sails i think um okay so that's some of the stuff that is going well for solana uh so there's a lot of

18:36development happening obviously interest from institutions um they've got their new mobile

18:41device etc etc however it's not all sunshine and roses right yeah so for one there was a massari

18:48report released last week it's the state of solana q2 now there was many positive stats which are they

18:54highlight in here for example which you guys can go back and read we'll leave a link to it but there

18:58were a few concerning points and one of them for example was that chain gdp fell 44 percent quarter on

19:05quarter and real economic value dropped 53 percent quarter on quarter yeah there was also a slowdown

19:11in trading activity as well so spot decks volumes were down over 45 percent um and perp decks volumes

19:18fell 28 and a half percent now obviously this is in large part due well i would say perp decks volume

19:24is probably due in part to hyperliquid uh eating a lot of its lunch but also the fact of course um the

19:29meme coin craze came to a juddering halt yeah and this has not been good for solana slow down a lot

19:35and speaking of meme coins there were at least two comments which many some people may have taken issue

19:40with when from the solana leadership i think i mean they could have been passing comments as well

19:45so you know anatoly said quote uh that a meme coins are digital slop which is you know quite uh

19:53quite a statement to make when you're a lot of the meme connectivity takes place on the chain

19:57yeah uh and then he also said something to the effect of uh you know communities are useless

20:01or something like that which i don't know if there's in relation to a twitter twitter question

20:06of some twitter support or something but this obviously caused a lot a bit of a you know backlash

20:12in the community like oh community is everything and jesse polk from coinbase coinbase's base didn't uh

20:19yeah yeah there we go yeah communities are everything jesse said now it's interesting that you that you pull

20:25up this as an example because i think this highlights another problem for solana and that is

20:30base itself so coin uh base is obviously coinbase's layer two it too is very fast and very cheap to use

20:38and i think one of the things that it has in common with so long because obviously um base is now

20:42integrated with the phantom wallet it's also integrated with metamask um which may not be everyone's

20:47cup of tea but certainly uh is you know still very widely used um and i think this has been a big

20:53problem for solana in that you know there is a competing uh there is a competing chain that's

20:59very fast and with low fees and obviously base has the advantage of being backed by coinbase yeah

21:04exactly yep um now i guess the main question is could we potentially see a revenge rally right

21:10because it is like i said it is interesting to the effect that solana now is the most hate

21:15like hated asset in the sense that it's like the now contrarian trade right yeah whereas two three

21:20months ago it was the other way around now solana could appear to be the contrarian trade yeah well

21:25not so long ago we were looking at eth btc and uh and going isn't this the ugliest chart in crypto

21:31now we're looking at sol eth and going this is this is appalling exactly so it's kind of like

21:36interesting to take notes uh now obviously there's a lot of things that this hinges on like etf clarity

21:41fired answer production use and a few other things um it can't just be on vibes um but ultimately i think

21:48it's attention and the biggest thing that will drive attention is yeah is price price right so

21:54that's it right price drives narrative and all that so that's all we'll have to see how things

21:59play out but i it's difficult to not judge when you'll actually see that happening when what will

22:03the catalyst be will one of these big treasury companies come out and just make massive buys

22:07send the price and then this obviously brings interest back we'll have to see yeah i think that

22:11will i think we will see a rotation in interest that just seems to be how crypto how crypto works you

22:17know for everything once when something's in the spotlight something else is in the doghouse

22:21and you know sooner or later it all flips around indeed yeah pull up the wall of fame and shame guys

22:26let's go here's the walls the weekly rise and falls here's the walls

22:37let's look at that wonderful wonderful

22:40oh god yeah oh that has not worked out well for me yeah bro yeah i mean i'm i'm saving the galaxy man

23:00yeah you go for it you go for it you go for it great news jump back into the crypto verse with us where you'll find jubaka guy and han solo nick let's go guys

23:09look i know i know i'm i know i'm uh on the haastute side but uh that is ridiculous okay um so

23:16well i i wall of shame really should be the people who made this um made that graphic but wall of fame is uh tom lee

23:23now why is tom lee here so tom lee uh for those guys if you have a bit living under a rock tom lee is the guy who's coming out on cnbc

23:31eth as to happen to like there's no tomorrow uh now it's interesting because in crypto parlance

23:38one could say he did a community takeover or cto of ethereum he literally came out there he's now

23:43the ceo of bitmine who is now one of these bitcoin treasury companies that's accumulating

23:48it his goal is to accumulate at least five percent of the eth he's out there regularly

23:52every day shilling eth and his history is interesting as well because he used to be one

23:56of these he runs fund strat as well which is a fund and he's been back even back in the old

24:01cycle he'd been out there giving bitcoin talking about bitcoin and bitcoin price predictions

24:06uh and uh now he's come back into the cycle and he's kind of to a degree rescued eth because he's

24:11been one of the obviously there's other bitcoin treasury companies but bitmine seems to be the

24:14one that's getting the most traction and has accumulated the most eth so he together with

24:19you know many other community members has helped save eth yeah he deserves a wall uh mention i think

24:25so he's sort of seen he's seen what michael saylor has done for bitcoin and gone do you know what

24:30ethereum needs a trad fi guy to go out there and and and talk talk it up on on the news every

24:36single day running the sailor pay book exactly yeah okay who is on the wall of shame then

24:43well it's whoever released the uh ppi numbers last week because they're kind of first of all do they

24:48not know that in the trump's in in the trump uh you know the trump economy you have to only

24:54release approved numbers yeah we only like good numbers bureau of statistics says that you should only be

24:59releasing numbers that are good the inflation rate is not the ppi is not 3.3 percent it is zero

25:05in fact no there's some deflation going on as well so yeah that's what we like to release those numbers

25:09you guys and get the memo you're probably going to get fired soon like the bls chief as well yeah

25:13yeah so uh yes we can't we can't have bad numbers in the age of trump i just won't do we you know and

25:18look you know if you do release them you're probably as nick said you'll probably get five

25:22okay so that's the that's the wall of shame let's face it they're probably having a rough week as it is

25:26without uh without being added to the wall of shame okay so we want to switch back to switch

25:32the focus back to ethereum or rather i should say ethereum's ecosystem because i think there's a good

25:38chance that when we see capital start to rotate um it could start rotating out of eth and into projects

25:44in ethereum's ecosystem so we just we thought that we'd have a look at some of some of the standout ones

25:51from there now obviously ethereum has been around for well for over 10 years now so there are a lot

25:56of projects in its ecosystem some of them have been around for a very long time as well we have ogs

26:00and we have upstarts um so we thought we'd look at a number of both today right yep exactly and we'll

26:06start with one of the ogs uh that is of course none other than chain links link now this is probably

26:13it is the og defile or it's the og oracle crypto oracle out there og crypto oracle network

26:19and chain link has had a stormer of a performance over the past month uh so it pumped 12 on the 12th

26:25of august to a fresh seven month high almost hitting 25 and this is due in large part to

26:31well many things but one of them is uh that ice uh the internet intercontinental new york exchange

26:36um basically integrated with chain link to you to push off data such as precious metals data and forex

26:43data on on chain via chain link i have a confession to make when i first read that headline i was like

26:49ice immigration's custom important chain link what what are they doing integrates and put all

26:54immigrant data on chain so that you can go and track them when a permissionless man

26:58i was like agents is like knocking on your door i checked ether scan

27:04chain link data is revealed yeah i was like i know uh i know crypto's sort of back under the trump

27:09administration but this seems this seems an integration too far okay so it's the intercontinental

27:13exchange the company of new york's new york stock exchange okay that's that's big news big news yeah

27:18uh and then this is reflected also in terms of on-chain stats there's been increased whale

27:22activity on chain link as well as just increase increase in active addresses yeah and we've also

27:28seen on the price angle and they've been uh the or open interest futures open interest for uh chain

27:35link is now at 2021 highs okay so it's looking good there okay now it kind of i guess it kind of makes

27:41sense um that link has been performing well in the in the kind of wake of ethereum isn't it because really uh you

27:48know link does not have a competitor within ethereum's ecosystem um you know solana has pith network

27:55for instance but really chain link is chain link is there front and center in ethereum so it kind of

28:00makes sense that that bit of ethereum infrastructure would be performing well and you know i think i've

28:06seen a lot of talk about how you know it's not just a price oracle you know anymore it's kind of you

28:10know interoperability master ccip it's become a massive interoperability layer yeah um now we'll quickly

28:15take a look at price because that's also important and these charts have been helped become to us

28:20courtesy of our one of our new our newest team member lewis we've brought we've talked to him a

28:25few times we've looked at his charts last week a great representation there the final boss version of

28:30lewis yeah um now this is a this he's pulled up this chart it's a very interesting chart what i'll point

28:35out right now is that where we are right now is a key resistance level it's a big resistance so we could

28:42expect a pullback this resistance goes back many months right uh so if you are looking to accumulate

28:47you could potentially i would potentially wait and see because there are at more attractive levels down

28:53towards the 17 to 20 level right in terms of value relative value because yeah we are at a pretty

29:00strong resistance level you can take a look at that at the charts we can leave a link to them below as

29:04well to through many months in the past so that's where you can potentially now it's a bit hot in terms

29:09of recent price action running okay i should i should point out actually i'm just looking on

29:13coin gecko now in the past hour uh link itself is up 2.8 it's it's poked its head above 25 dollars

29:20well okay so uh yeah i think that's the sort definitely the biggest game you just hopefully

29:25it's not a fake out well let's yeah well it's held up strong because we there's one reason for that and

29:30one reason only it's because the link marines are a different breed of in yeah those guys those guys

29:35have been in the trenches for a long long time okay so that's chain link um an og ethereum protocol

29:41and a vital piece of infrastructure um we're going to talk now about an ethereum ecosystem project and

29:46this is really actually you know a base uh project and base obviously very hot uh in ethereum at the

29:52moment um so this is aerodrome aerodrome yeah so this is the primary decks on base um now the price has

29:59also been going crazy over the past few weeks uh and they now control a significant portion of all the

30:04decks volume on base and this is no doubt driven by the coinbase integration which has taken the

30:09coin to seven months highs yeah yeah um and uh yeah i mean it i think this obviously coinbase as we've

30:17as we've seen many times before is just so powerful they've got so much money you know this is a big a

30:22big integration for for aerodrome there um and um yeah i mean this is going to open up a whole a whole

30:29load of trading opportunities for for coinbase app users right exactly yeah there's 100 million

30:34users uh that can use this decks um and um it's of course benefit in both parties um now speaking

30:41of price analysis we can pull this up as well this is um what i will note is that we are currently also

30:47to at near a if you zoom in there we're also near a relatively strong resistance level okay um in terms

30:53of previous resistance level and also near the 61.8 fubonacci ratio so you know key i would i wouldn't say

31:01it's necessarily attractive value right now based on the charts at least and a good accumulation level

31:06could be back down towards the one dollar level that's because it's a good so it's a strong support

31:10it's a psychological support at around a dollar but if we do manage to push through this resistance

31:15level of one dollar 45 then it's easy to reach up to the uh two dollars twenty so that's where you'd

31:21sell it all if it hits two dollars twenty okay at least according to lewis's analysis okay so yes this is

31:27lewis and you know for those who for those who haven't come across lewis yet he's been presenting

31:31uh over on more coin bureau a lot exactly he has and we'll also leave to it we'll link to his twitter

31:36down below in the description because it's well worth following him especially in terms of his ta

31:40takes because his ta has been pretty especially as relates to ethereum over the past few few weeks

31:45yeah he's made some he's made some good calls about uh timing the market recently as well lewis

31:49okay um let's move on now and talk about now this is something we've talked about a few times before

31:54a project a project in ethereum's ecosystem that we've given quite a lot of air time to

31:59um and with good reason this is ethena ethena's inner correct so the stable coins slash synthetic

32:06dollar slash tokenized cash and carry trade whatever you know tomato tomato but uh i mean just uh the

32:13price action has also been crazy over the past few weeks uh been running hot and this is on a backup

32:19for one bullish action as relates to bullish news relates to the genius act because it is a yield

32:25bearing stable coin uh yield bearing tokenized synthetic dollar and as a result many of the

32:30tokens like usdc usdt and all these tokens that will that are approved in genius in the genius

32:36framework can't aren't yield bearing so it's rare to be attractive for them yeah and i think it's worth

32:42mentioning as well that if we do eventually see a rate cut one of these days one one day one day

32:48powerful cut rates yeah um if we do eventually see a rate cut then uh the yields on u.s treasuries

32:54will will fall and some might view athena and usde as a more attractive way to generate yield in

33:01those circumstances perhaps that that's kind of that's a theoretical at this stage it's quite

33:05attractive it's like two weeks ago it was like 12 i'm sure it's down right now but that's quite

33:10attractive really quite attractive i mean i'm using i'm using athena's platform at the moment to park some

33:15some usde at the moment i think the rate's about eight percent it is very it does fluctuate but

33:19that's much better than what you'd get on any sort of treasury so much better yeah um the recent

33:24activity there's been a recent a recent partnership with arve yeah premier lending protocol on ethereum

33:30yep arve is another project that's just yeah um tvl there is going through the roof um and athena itself

33:36has hit a uh tvl record as well um and uh usde um has become the fastest growing stable coin of all

33:46yeah okay it's a synthetic synthetic yeah but fastest growing stable coin it reached a 10 billion dollar

33:52uh valuation in just 500 days wow yeah crazy yeah um now in terms of price action ina itself as i said

34:00it's been a very strong run over the past few weeks uh and it's now again re at least bounced

34:06to a potential support level and you could say it's you could still buy now it's it could potentially

34:12bounce although according to the charts it seems that a better value level could be down towards the

34:1861.8 level from the recent rally and it's also a big support resistance down there in the green

34:24that's a good potential accumulation zone if it does fall to that but it could potentially bounce from

34:28the current resistance line where it's at right now and if that is the case then i think that

34:32you'd want to potentially start looking at taking some profits up towards uh the next level which is

34:37uh on circuit to put my chart here it's 85 cents which is where it's been a key resistance over the

34:43past few weeks um so that's also the 61.8 ratio so these fubonacci levels are generally considered

34:50especially the golden ratio generally considered a strong support or resistance around um potential uh areas

34:57of resistances resistances so lewis likes to look at these so that's one it could be worth value

35:02thinking about now but you know it depends how much i wouldn't go all in i would think like okay

35:07ideally you can see if it can go down towards the green the green um value level there on the charts

35:13but it's it's potentially more attractive now than the likes of aerodrome which seems to be pretty hot

35:19at that level one thing i will say and i say this as an inner holder myself uh the the concern i have

35:26around you know with less so perhaps around aerodrome is um very high fdv very high fdv and

35:32still got vesting that's a regular vesting coming out and there are vc backers i don't think aerodrome

35:37i think aerodrome uh is not really got strong vc back in not too many insiders and also as i think

35:43that the emissions in terms of the team unlocks are tied to protocol revenue or kpis or some description

35:50that sounds familiar yeah it's it's it's attractive from that sense yeah uh you know for for all its

35:56many qualities um yeah there is still uh there is still a big discrepancy between the circulating

36:01supply and the total supply so you know will be progressively unlocking large amounts of tokens for

36:08a very long time so that is something to bear in mind you could debate about how much effects token

36:14unlocks have especially in in market you know in the sort of market we've been in recently but it's

36:19definitely something to watch a quality project nonetheless so yeah there's a nice cross-section

36:24of projects there we've got an og infrastructure project we've got an up-and-coming uh an up-and-coming

36:30decks and um then a rapidly growing um well money market tokenized treasury whatever synthetic dollar

36:38protocol there are plenty of other great projects in ethereum's ecosystem and again i think this is

36:43probably one of the reasons why ethereum has performed so well is because i think it was easy to

36:48forget that when it was struggling wasn't it that actually there are there is so much more to ethereum

36:53than just eth yeah and the base chain it is a huge ecosystem exactly yeah yeah okay all right uh now

37:02if you are planning on buying any of the tokens we just talked about or indeed any others for that

37:08matter then you need to make sure you are storing them correctly and uh this is a perfect time to

37:13mention our brand new brand partner tangium tangium indeed yes so tangium they produce what these are

37:19hardware wallets as well now these are unique in the sense they're different from other other likes of

37:23hardware wallets because these uh operate uniquely without a seed phrase without having to write down

37:29a seed phrase and you have three different cards and this technology allows you to store the cards in

37:33different places yeah and you can recover your your wallets through one or two of the three only a few of

37:38the cards right yeah and uh you've actually set up one of these recently right i was setting up one

37:43it's really really easy it can be it uh you basically tap it on your phone to help with the

37:48setup we've got one here um and yeah it's a cold wallet it can act as a hot wallet it can act as a dex

37:54an nft vault you can stake by it as well um it is and yeah as nick says it's just a handy little card

38:00there sneak tap and go card all packed into one little device yeah very very easy to use and uh you know

38:06know it's a much cheaper option than a lot of other hardware yeah exactly i think it's the cheapest

38:11option on the market right now in terms of what you get and not only that you can actually make

38:15it cheaper if you're signing up using the coin bureau links um so if you scan that qr code or go

38:21down in the description you'll get taken to the quote to the coin bureau uh deals page for this tangent

38:26wallet and you'll get a 10 discount on your tangent wallet so make sure to make it to take advantage of

38:31that and like i said the qr code over there or the link in the description so we're glad to have

38:37tangent with us and you guys go and secure yours right now lovely stuff welcome aboard tangent okay

38:43let's have a look at some of last week's top performers um this was an interesting week we've got

38:49an interesting lineup of uh of coins and tokens here an eclectic mix yeah now we don't often talk

38:54about exchange tokens because they have dynamics all of their own but we do kind of have to talk about

38:59okb because this was a god candle uh totally absolutely yeah um so yes uh quite a lot of

39:08people noticed that it turned out that this pump was due to they uh um basically unleashed and released

39:14a major tokenomics uh upgrade and rebrand which included burning 75 percent of the supply well you

39:22burn 75 percent of the supply that's that's what happens yeah i mean so um so yes and now i think

39:2821 million uh tokens now um yeah instead of however many wonder why they chose 21 million so you so you

39:36are so original yeah um anyways another token that has done very well recently is mantles mnt now this is

39:43an ethereum layer 2 and um it's interestingly it was it's incubated by bybit it used to be bit dow but the tvl

39:50itself has been climbing and i think that many people are viewing this this potential closer

39:54integration with bybit which is one of the top exchanges in the world yeah is bullish for the

39:59as a bullish catalyst for for mnt yeah and as we've seen with uh you know as we've seen with base and

40:04sort of projects associated with it if you've got a big exchange in your corner uh that is generally

40:10going to be quite helpful yeah okay next up um we've just been talking about it it's link and the

40:16the partnership with the immigration and customs enforcement yes uh open intro as you said open

40:23interest is also spiking for link as well um so yeah good uh good week for chain link uh next up

40:29um another big uh top 10 token a coin i should say it's cardano's ada yeah it has been crushing it hey um

40:36now this is many things but i think one of them is the active wallets and users users are climbing because

40:41of that midnight token airdrop yeah and we also had a recent rare evo conference right yeah it's

40:47british as hell i can't remember if that was in las vegas but uh it's good to see some people

40:52it says las vegas i assume it must be in las vegas oh yes yeah the big red las vegas probably

40:57probably gave that away i mean that there's more than one las vegas guy

41:01it's not that easy to read um okay and uh the final top gainer from last week um is arbitrum's

41:11arb interesting yes now i mean to be honest in terms of like uh well many people say it could be

41:16because of the most metrics are going up and also the recent robinhood partnership but i think that um

41:22arb itself as an ethereum layer too is probably one of the the ones with the most potential right compared

41:27to uh many of the others it's not only robinhood but remember i think that um hyperliquid have to

41:33bridge through arbitrum right so there's a lot of reasons why it's it's rallying yeah it does it is

41:38being used a lot um arbitrum and um yeah i mean it needs to rally a lot more till it gets to my entry

41:45price that i bought our back a while ago so you know keep going this further together at one point

41:50it just seemed like whenever i looked up was 46 cents it's a stable coin bro yeah yeah so uh good

41:57to see that it's broken to the upside there okay tweets for the week guys bring it up

42:04all right uh first up we have now this is a reply from our our favorite our favorite tweeter uh this is

42:11a reply to something ryan sean adams of bankless posted recently which i don't know like struck me

42:18is a little bit kind of copium really it's ryan said it's massively bullish for ethereum that stripe

42:23and circle are building evm chains the e in evm stands for ethereum they'll all connect to ethereum

42:29company ledger will never be the world ledger yeah i mean so no first of all they're not building on

42:34ethereum but they're not even they're not even building on ethereum layer two they're building a

42:38complete separate chain yeah so guard comes in with a response and says it is massively bullish for

42:44my marriage that my wife's karate teacher cannot stop praising her flexibility and her yoga teacher

42:51yeah it's and all the various other teachers and all the people in the neighborhood flexibility is

42:57known around the neighborhood yeah yeah interesting one this in fact tomorrow i'm going to shoot a video

43:05about all these uh about all these new chains that the likes of circle and stripe and robin hood are

43:10building i was just going to think you said you should have been i was going to shoot a video

43:13about what's like yeah yeah there's a lot to unpack there it's i think it should do fairly well um yeah

43:22i i yeah i think this is this is a potential this is a big potential um headwind for ethereum i think

43:27a lot of these big companies are going do you know what we could we could build our own l1 exactly

43:34all right who have we got next this is a tweet now you know people are really bored in their trenches

43:39someone just launched a coin and used the price action to draw an image of a dog on the chart so

43:46he must have really had a lot of time and really bored and if this is what's going on in the trenches

43:51you guys really man it must be tough out there yeah it must be tough i think we may have we may

43:56have reached peak boredom in the trenches okay next we have uh this one from uh mikey polito before

44:02you start thinking this time is different remember that this market is being driven by putting one

44:07dollar in a box and selling it for two dollars yep and this is no doubt reference to the digital

44:13asset treasury companies that are trading at a positive mnav so the shares are worth the net

44:18asset value of the at the share or the market value is worth more than the net asset value so yeah

44:23yeah okay and uh we also have uh this one here now this is this is good um uh this is a time saying

44:31you know what you know who never left still on chain still building ethereum yeah i've been there

44:37since day one real one uh for instance genesis block uh and this is obviously in the context of

44:42there's been quite a discussion over the past few weeks around um founders who've left their projects

44:48very quickly after it's hit mainnet hit tge yeah there was one last week which you know um and there's

44:55also been a few others through over the past six months l ones and that and project founders just walking

45:00away yeah coincidentally just when they hit tge just when the cliff comes the cliff the project

45:06cliff the founder cliff just watching that the main the main thing they're watching is not the main net

45:10push it's not uh how much the users are growing it's when is the cliff yeah prepared you know now

45:17props to vitalik he's still out there i mean like we say we celebrated uh ethereum's 10th birthday just

45:22recently 10 years he's been doing this um and he still looks about 14. um he still looks like he could

45:29use a good meal but he's still there still still grinding away still promoting ethereum still

45:33building still washing his underwear in the bathroom in hotel bathrooms because it's too expensive to

45:40use laundry gotta respect that gotta respect that well done vitalik okay um any coins to watch this

45:46week nick just one really from the perspective of an unlock and that is kaito uh on in on wednesday

45:52they have at least 23 million tokens which is about 10 percent of the circulating supply being released

45:58i wonder what's happened to info fi yes yes info fi is uh yapping is you know kind of quitting

46:05yapping the yapping slowing down maybe they maybe they could do a yap campaign about this upcoming

46:10upcoming unlock okay any dates for the diary this week wednesday well today is very important keep an

46:16eye on what's going on with that oval office meeting uh but then we've got wednesday the fomc minutes

46:21where we'll hear what the fed talked about behind closed doors thursday we've got initial jobless

46:26claims which you know will come in below zero because there are no jobless claims in the us

46:31because the data has always got to be positive yeah uh and then friday uh we've got powell's

46:36speech over at jackson hall i think okay oh yes so this is uh like we said last week no fed meeting

46:42this month but the jackson hall symposium where all the central bankers get together and and fish and

46:47talk soiree talk economics um yeah they'll uh they'll that that could be an interesting speech

46:54yeah probably managed to uh probably managed to annoy trump won't it yeah in some way 100 percent

46:59yeah okay all right um let's just give a brief overview of what people are talking about in the

47:05comments um if uh z trader is back if nick had a token for every joke guy missed he'd be a whale by now

47:12instead guy looks like what what the hell what this is oh man they've really they've really turned

47:22against me yeah this is tough out there this is going to be uh you're going to force me into

47:28retirement guys fortunately aaron got the message um guys looking younger yeah yeah yeah yeah like

47:35metallic i just i just don't age okay um uh dirty dan says nick likes looks like he wants to sell me

47:42some drugs but talk my ear off i think that's do not approach this man do you want to do you want

47:51anything do you want to do you want to hear about the bitcoin do you want to hear about

47:54quantum mechanics i can teach you um and uh sonia sonia says where's the other blonde girl

48:04over a year ago she's transitioned she's gone she's out of our lives it's sad it's sad

48:12okay um yeah generally i think i think generally it has to be said sentiment is holding up pretty

48:17well in the comments despite the fact that uh yeah a bit of a disappointment on the market side

48:21uh over the weekend i have to say though it's starting to hold in 115 it's holding at that

48:27level let's hope let's see where it closes that's the money that's the main thing to watch

48:31i want to see when when is that meeting on the try in the mobile office do we know what time it is or

48:35no i don't actually i know that will be that will be an interesting one to watch and it

48:39it's it's so funny isn't it because it's just like you know until until recently 115k for for

48:46one bitcoin would have you know celebrating wildly in the streets and now it's like 115k it's so over

48:52do something you know it's like they cook the the stick do something bitcoin do something you know

48:56yeah yeah okay all right that is us for today folks thank you as ever for joining we will be back
