 Let's find out. So we will see. And we're live. Welcome to Digital Asset News. Take the top stories in cryptocurrency assets and bring them out of bite-sized pieces. So today, as you may have understood everybody, we're going to be doing Trinity Trading. And I've split up our channel from Digital Asset News, which is just most of the news in a little bit of trading. And also we have Dan Clips, which is more of the advanced stuff where we go over new projects and different happenings that are going on and more advanced cryptocurrency assets things. So just so you know, this Trinity Trading, we'll only do this once every two weeks. Once every two weeks. So if everybody's like, how dare you do trading? Well, it's once every two weeks. So just so you know. Anyhow, so as you may have figured we've got two special guests. First we got CJ Rykel from Market Rebellion. He does all of our technicals, our TA stuff. CJ, thanks for stopping by with your busy schedule. Thanks for having us. Of course, anytime. And then we also go to Alex Massioli and he is co-founder of Trade the Chain. Alex, thanks for stopping into Dan. Thanks, sir. You're welcome. And just so you know, so Trinity Trading, if you haven't been here before, we use a three-tier approach to trading. First of all, everything starts with the technicals. So actually, sorry, everything starts with the sentiment. So we take a look at Alex. He pulls up Trade the Chain, takes a look at what's going on as far as the happenings in the Twitterverse and all the different news. And he's gonna give us a project. It then goes to CJ, our technical analysis expert. And he takes a look and says, is this a goodbye for a short-term, a long-term? And then if it goes through those two, then I just kind of give him my rubber stamp and say, sure, let's go for it. But I always talk about little fundamentals. So that's what's going on. So first of all, before we start, Alex, you have a special announcement for Trade the Chain members. I do, yeah. So thanks again, Rob, for having me. I just wanted to let everybody know who's watching and who is a member of Trade the Chain that they'll be waking up to something, a little different tomorrow morning on their Trade the Chain sentiment dashboards. As we have completed a major integration with data which now will allow a more robust offering for people. So they'll be able to do really cool stuff like sentiment and price overlays and historicals as well as some other pro tools in there. And that's part of our big integration with Kraken's crypto watch. So tomorrow morning, wake up, log in, refresh your systems or clear your cash. So it's all brand new, thanks. Perfecto. All right, before we start, let's go over, I just wanna share my screen because I wanna talk to people about where we've been. So if you look, there's a link in the description and it looks like, looks like CJ. Now it looks like this right here. It says Trinity Trading. So I can blow this up. And there's a link and it's a spreadsheet. And these are all the trades that we've ever done on Trinity Trading. And granted, we haven't done that many, but so far the ones that we've done have done pretty well. So we started this on January 6th and we picked Maker, 50% profit. And that was from, gosh, January 6th, January 10th. Reserve, Synthetics, Lupering, Orchid, Bitcoin, Bitcoin, NEM, Harmony, StormEx. I think one of our biggest ones, which one was this? Harmony, and that was a good one. On March 18th, we bought it at 9 cents. And then on March 21st, 17 cents, pretty good. And then StormEx, on March 18th, we got it at 0.03. And then just a day later, it was 0.0, so 94%. So pretty good. And then our last one, which I really should have held onto this one, Waves. CJ, do me a favor. Take a look at April 27th when we bought Waves at $19.80, could you? Yeah. And I have a few words about Waves while he's pulling that up, you know, a couple things. One is, first of all, obviously, we're not giving financial advice or anything like that. We're just showing people what we may do. Nothing is considered financial advice by trade the chain, digital asset news, or market rebellion. This is all for informative and informational purposes only. Thank you, go ahead, Alex. Thank you, CJ. But one of the things with Waves is there was a lot of chatter on the Waves episode. And so I just want everybody to be clear. If you're gonna chatter, you just have to listen to everything we say, right? And so it actually wasn't Rob's fault that we only gained 7%. It was my call. I actually put it in for that show if you go back and watch it for a short-term trade. And what I actually did was I didn't miss out on a bad call per se. I actually put in my expectations too short because if you put Waves actually, and I lost a lot of upside in that call. So it wasn't Rob's fault. It was my fault for calling it too short of a trade. Well, it was my fault for selling too darned quickly. I don't know how you traders do it. I don't have the diamond hands that you guys have. As far as like investing, I'm like, I had no problem holding for years and years and years. But like for these short-term trades, I'm like, damn, get this out. We'll get this away from me. But it's like my friend Mullet says, well, when, I know you're in the chats probably. It's amazing how a short-term trade leads to a long-term investment. And that's usually what it was. But I mean, so CJ show us like, we were at $19.80, I think. Yeah, could you help? Do you remember the date in which we did that episode? Which one was it? It was April 27th at 1321 Eastern Standard Time. Yeah, that would be right here. So we were at roughly, I remember we were at roughly $18 or $19. Took a little heat to start the trade. But then, I mean, volume continued to come in. And I mean, we went all the way to like $41. Topped on that TD sequential sell nine. So really respecting the TA there. But yeah, I mean, it turned out to be a pretty nice trade. Yeah, that was a 100% winner at the top of the week. Yeah, if I wouldn't have sold so fast, but I did and here we are. All right, so let's try to learn from, I mean, all the potential gains we could have made. And let's take a look at what we got today. So Alex, show us some magic. Yeah, absolutely. So a little diversion from how I normally do this on the show, normally I bring up the screener chart and I filter out usually like, let's say the one hour projection or the short term sentiment. Today, I'm actually making a call and it's partly based on the video that you just released earlier, having to do with Ethereum fees. But let me go to my screen real quick. My call, and this is going to be an intro month call for a trade. So it means that I'm gonna watch this. I expect it to actually be longer than three days, but shorter than the end of the month to generate alpha. And it is loop ring, ticker LRC. What I'm liking about loop ring, and we've covered this on the regular shows in the past is the fact that it is one of those platforms that helps people negate Ethereum gas fees. And so with your video today and what I've seen with people sending me transaction prices, I thought that's very appropriate. I went to trade to trade screener. I first looked at that one hour projection, but I'm a little longer than that one hour projection. I'm looking for the somewhere between the daily and the long-term sentiment, which are both bullish right now with 72 and 62. I went over to the relative tweet volume and trading volume, both of them fantastic as far as I'm concerned. A lot of people talking about it, I'm assuming that's what the gas fee increases. And there's a lot of participants in the order book right now. Biggest thing from there, I went to the left and this is what got me. Unlike a lot of these all points, I'm not seeing a hyper-velocity hockey stick in the price action. So if you look over the last 30 days, 7%, 7 days, 15%. What I'm looking for now is to take this, like I said, longer than three days, but in true month, so not past the end of the month. And it'll be to keep an eye on. And if you do look at the chart, which we're about to in a second, you're gonna see that we're coming, we just had a high velocity upswing in price off of loop ring. But we were just going back to the previous high from the last couple of weeks. So I'm comfortable. I wanna see what CJ says and see if he has the same, the same determination with this as I do. This is my whole three days up to call it 10 days. Okay, I like LRC, I like it a lot. One thing that I emphasize or have been emphasizing a lot that I've learned from John Najarian and a lot of the people who initially built up market rebellion and that is volume. Volume essentially shows how confident traders, namely buyers and sellers are at a particular price. If you have an uptrend and you have increasing volume, that means that people are voting with their money and they're voting that they're confident that the price is going to continue going up. So at least in the short term, that's typically what we see. And that's kind of at the bedrock of unusual option activity. And a lot of what we're starting to look at in crypto, you brought this up, you brought up LRC on trade the chain. What I wanna highlight over here on the right side is look at the average trading volume or the relative trading volume. Anytime that is close to 100% or over 100% and price has not moved a whole lot, that's always an indication to me that buyers are really confident that price is gonna continue to go up. So let's look at the charts at a couple of different timeframes and see what we see. So starting with the daily timeframe, look at that last bar of volume coming in. That shows that buyers are confident that we're probably gonna continue to go up in the short run. So where are our resistance levels? I think our first primary resistance level comes in not until around 74 or maybe a little bit earlier, a little bit earlier at 60, I would say, judging from this past peak. So that's gonna be a level you'll likely want to watch out for, but I'm really bullish on LRC from a lot of different timeframes. On the four hour, you can see that we've had that surge as well. And we're just past that critical resistance level at 59. I think if we finish this candle above that level, it bodes very well for the overall trend on that four hour timeframe. Now, if we look at things a little bit longer term, and if we zoom out a little bit on the one week chart, I really like what I'm seeing in terms of a long-term hold on this because on the stochastic down below, we're just starting to see a bullish crossover, very similar to the commodity channel index, the CCI, and we have a nice bullish hammer candle coming up here during this kind of neutral consolidation. So when all the timeframes look pretty bullish on a technical level, and we have positive sentiment and massive trading volume, that's a great indication. Those are all great indications that I really like to look for before getting into a specific trade. Rob, on to you. Right. So yes, hammer candle, exactly. Exactly what I was thinking. I have no idea. I was like, when CJ is like, I mean, it's so eloquent the way CJ puts like this and this and this and I'm like, makes sense. Hammer candle. Full disclosure too, Rob. I just want to say even though that I'm doing this as an inch a month trade, I am bullish overall in the long-term for LRC for people who like to DCA such as yourself. Great. And you know what actually me and Weston, Weston Nelson over there from Trinity Trading, he was the one that first introduced me to loop ring a long time ago. And I was like, yeah, okay, I'll get surround to it. And then of course I bought a little bit, I can never win. And now here we are again. So let's just take a look at, first of all, what's loop ring, what's going on with loop ring? And then we do all that good stuff. So let me share my screen. And go to, there we go. Yeah, look at this loop ring. We actually talked about that before on January 19th. It was at 46 cents, 52 cents. What were we at now? 60 cents? Yeah. Yeah. So that was one that I was probably still hanging around. But yeah, I think I bought, I sold after that. So loop ring is ranked 128th. And what we got? It's got a pretty massive max of fly, 1.3 billion. And it's got a circling roughly the same thing, trading volume 199 million up 13% at 60 cents. Okay. So one thing I like about CoinGecko is that it'll tell me where I can actually buy this thing. So just so you know, if you're watching at home and you are going to do your own research on top of what you're watching here because this is just financial opinion. I love that phrase, financial opinion. You can find it at crypto.com, Coinbase Pro, GateIO, GateIO, Binance, and I'm sure some other places. And let's see what else. So loop ring, and this is essentially what Ethereum drastically needs. It's a DEX built in Ethereum layer two on top of ZK roll up. So that's interesting, right? On top of that, if we take a look, and I was actually pulling this up as Alex was talking. Here's the Twitter account. If you want to find all the latest information, just go to Twitter. That's where everything else is, right? That's where Elon Musk lives. So, this is three hours ago, and it makes a good point. Gas fees on ETH1 are high, but you got a choice. Pay them on every swap or pay them once to fund your account, and that's it. And that's the thing that, like I had a hard time thinking I was like, hold on, if I'm on a dollar cost average, that means that every single time I buy, I got to pay the fees. No, it's not. If you just, if you have the ability to put a bunch of money down for loop ring, that's just a one-time transaction fee. And then off you go, you don't have to pay, keep paying these crazy transactions because we just did a video where it was, I was going to put in 0.2 ETH, which is around 800 bucks. And the gas fees were 200 bucks. I'm like, you got to be kidding me. And of course we are way far away from that EIP 1559. And even when that comes about, I don't think it's going to solve much. You can, whatever, if you love Ethereum, I like Ethereum, my own Ethereum, but I mean, look, loop ring to me makes a lot of sense. Let's buy some loop ring, huh? Just us, not you watching at home. All right, so, all right. I think it's also worth noting that that hard fork that you mentioned or that EIP, it's very contentious. I think about the, 60% of the hash power is against that improvement proposal. So it's going to be interesting to see what actually occurs, but who knows? It may be a positive beneficiary for things like OMG or loop ring or other various scaling solutions for Ethereum. Exactly. And you know what, I think, for you watching at home, this is probably a great opportunity just to think about what other time to layer two solutions could really fix this issue. And I think loop ring is just a tip of the iceberg, but that's what we're going to go with. So Al, we're going to go with a more medium term, maybe longer. Okay, let's just hold on to that. And then we go from there. So the next, let me stop sharing, the next video that we do, which will be in two weeks, you can always find the link to this video and that spreadsheet in the link in the description. You can find a link for trade the chain. You get a 14 day trial. You can find a link to market rebellion. You can start learning crypto or technical analysis from CJ and Monty and AJ Monty over there at Market Rebellion for just a buck. And that's what we got. Now, let me turn on to some, first of all, I'm not going to buy this. I'm going to look at my phone and how much should I, I'm going to buy one Ethereum, I'm just kidding. I'm going to buy a hundred bucks because I'm not a good trader. Let's see, I'll get to it in a bit, but let's put a hundred bucks in, huh? Let me put this in, a hundred dollars. God, Rob, I never pegged you for such a degenerate gambler. You know, my, yeah, exactly. I am awful. And my wife's going to be like, would you send out a box for it? No, I'm just kidding. She's right over there. She's screaming at me. Okay, so let's take a look at, let me pull up some of the questions. Let me pop this chat out. Pop out chat. How's the chat looking? It's looking like the chat, share screen. Ah, here we go. What is ICP? St. Claude Posse. No, I don't know. Hey, when will it's here? Forgot. Do you recommend staking ETH? That's a good question. Anybody want to take that one? No. I will tell you this, there's a lot of money to be made as far as staking. You know, George over at CryptoZarrus was, he did a good comparison between Ethereum and Cardano. And Ethereum, there's not a ton of people staking it, but the rewards are good. But as far as like Cardano goes, I mean, I think they're staked up to like 74% of all of the entire amount is staked as far as Cardano goes. I would like to take a brief moment to just talk about staking and in correlation to what's happening with Ethereum gas fees. So if you're staking somewhere and you're not ready to lock that up for a longer period of time, beware of the slippage fees with the gas on Ethereum for like Uniswap or any of those other dexs because even if you have a large bag, you put in a half a million tokens of something or coins and you go and you farm at 200 plus percent for a week, when you come out and you go to swap that out, your slippage on price reduction and gas fees could equal or surpass the amount of coins that you have farmed in that short duration. So just beware and calculate that in when farming. Yeah, I mean, and then yeah, cause you're gonna for Ethereum, you're gonna be locked up for how long is it? Until they say it could be a year, it could be shorter, it could be a little bit longer. That's another thing too. There's some that have locked up periods of six months or a year and others where you can get in and out of your own will. So there can be tragedy with any of those choices. Just make sure you think about it before you do it. Yeah, ugh, I don't know. CJ, CJ, did you stake anything anywhere? Yeah, I mined, I was liquidity mining in the dye zero pool on zero for a while. And I had a very similar experience about what Alex mentioned, where those fees or that slippage actually really does cut in to your profit of what you're providing liquidity for. Cause you get zero back for providing that liquidity. However, if you have half of your capital in dye or that other currency pair, then you're gonna miss out on some say upside in zero or whatever exchange token be that uni swap. So what I decided to do is just take that capital that I was providing in zero and dye and take the stable coin money and just put it all in zero cause I felt it was a better overall investment. However, what I will say is liquidity mining on zero since the API is the APRs are still so high. It is a nice way to make money consistently and have passive income in a sideways markets, but that doesn't come without risk. Yeah, and if anybody would like to see a video on exactly how to do that using the MetaMask wallet going over to zero, doing some liquidity mining. Let me know in the comment section or just reach out and we'll do a video on that. Probably not on this channel cause this is more like the basic stuff probably over at Dan clips. And actually just so everybody knows, you know we separated the channels for more advanced stuff. I'm gonna be doing a video on some pretty risky investments as far as crypto goes later in the week. And I call it the Pollo local method. And you'll understand exactly what I'm talking about when I go over this. This is things of like the ultimate, ultimate S coins where there's a lot of money to be made. And this is investment opinion, but it is craziness just to think about. And I will put that video out on the other channel cause this one's just for news and everything. Folks, I have seen Rob at a casino. He is an animal. Yes, I will come up right behind the penny slots like, oh drink, please, drink up some plane, plane. All right. And then let's see back to the, that's about it. When can we buy tomato coin ass mullets soon? Once the IOHK team puts in the graphic interface for the deadless wallet. So you can actually see the tomato coin image, which is pretty cool. I talk to the artists, it's a digitalized. It's like a terminator type of tomato coin. No one cares. All right. The Pollo's or monos method. That's right. All right. So that's it guys. We just wanted to talk about. So as a recap, we took a look at a different crypto that had great sentiment analysis, technicals and a little fundamentals. And we picked loop ring and I will, let me see here. And the reason why was what Alex pulled it up and said, it'll look good. We bought it at a whopping 60 cents on today. And Alex thinks, and so does CJ to hold it for a medium term. And we'll see how it does. This is a layer two solution, RZK rollups for the Ethereum network because the fees are crazy. And you just have to pretty much purchase at one time and then you get all your transactions for low cost. And that is loop ring. So that's the one we're going with. We'll follow up later and that is it for today. So thanks for stopping by everybody. We appreciate it and that is it for today. Thanks so much. See you on the next one. And let me stop recording on both of them before I screw this up like I did last time. Let's see here. Now, end string. I guess I did it. Oh man.
