 I guess that did work. I gotta tell you, sometimes things work, sometimes they do not work. And this is just one of those days where it actually worked out pretty well. Welcome everybody. We're just waiting for everybody from the premiere of the Q&A, of the Q&A that we just did with CJ from Market Rebellion. So we'll wait for everybody to get done with that in a couple of minutes or so. And I'm just gonna have everybody ask CJ the questions because I'm not the TA guy. I just learned a little bit from him and it worked out pretty well. Check, check, mic one, two. Okay, first of all, that's a good point, James Dean. How does the audio sound? Because I'm using Zoom, summer body, could use some work. How's the audio and how's the video? The video, little glitching, I think it should be okay. And we'll go from there. All right, what I'm gonna do, let me pop over to the live premiere and bring everybody over here. Let's see. Which, here is everybody. Let me place that right here. And I'll pin this comments up there. Yeah, crazy day in crypto, that's right. It's always a crazy day in crypto. I mean, look, not too long ago, we were at 2.3 trillion, almost 2.3 trillion. And now here we are, looking at about what, 2.1, 2.2 trillion, nice little recovery. XRP, watch out. Geez, $1.55 for XRP, it's pretty good. Not too shabby. But we'll go over the markets later today as I do my daily videos. But today it was all about technical analysis, getting your guys' questions answered and all that great stuff. From there, now I go from there. What do you think about going in the future? I think, this is what I think. I think everybody should own a little gold, a little silver, a little Bitcoin. That's what I think. And for all the debate about, well, this is better and that's better, why don't you just hedge your bet and just buy both? Or buy all three, who might have said, what do I know? I don't know. That's my philosophy. I own gold, I own little gold, little silver and a lot of Bitcoin. And that's just my thinking. CC says, what do you think about using crypto to make short-term gains? Well, let me tell you, I did that in Puerto Rico, not too long ago, actually about a month ago. I put up my Bitcoin to fund a part of the entire price of the condo that me and my wife bought over there. And I put that up because I needed cash fast and it worked out great. And here's what's awesome. Because that condo that we bought, it's going to be a short-term rental, Airbnb. And as people come in, they're going to pay off that amount. And it makes really great revenue every single month. And I should be able to pay that off within the 12-month timeframe of what I bought if from Celsius. So in that situation, yes, it does work. What I don't think works is where you take a big loan and you do nothing with it, but blow it on like lambos and stupid stuff because then how are you going to pay it all back? That's what I said. What do you think about ADA? I think ADA is going to the moon and I think ADA is going to melt some faces, as they say. And I also, as a reminder, over at DanTeachersCrypto.com, we have a stake pool. Don't pretty well, we got two of them actually. And for every Epic, we donate 100 ADA to Kiva, which is a microloan platform that helps out the unbanked and the underserved throughout the globe to help people with their businesses. So that's what I think. All right, let me make sure only pop over here and let me refresh this. All right, so they're almost done over there. I'm gonna ram over. I have this, but it says up in the live stream. It's funny. That is something. Oh, well, who cares? So first of all, I'm gonna get that fixed. Let me answer some of your questions. Let me pull this in. Actually, let me pop this out so you can see what I'm talking about. Pop out the chat. Pop, pop, pop, pop. That's how we do it. There, I'm gonna share my screen. All right, it gave me a life. Thank you so much. What do you think about Elron, Venus and Compound? I think, so we're talking about DeFi and things like that. It's a real crap shoot. I don't really know which one is gonna be great. I don't own any of those honestly. I wanted to get into Compound when it first came out and now I kind of just think it passed right by me. And to answer your question in truth, I really can't say much about either of those projects because I just haven't looked too much in depth into them. I own over 40 tokens now, 40 cryptocurrencies and you can't get in everything. And that's what we got. Hello from Thailand. Hello, maybe you could talk to my friend Digital Dave over there because he's doing absolutely nothing but making great videos about Dogecoin and T Fuel. My sound is going in and out. Anybody have a problem with the sound? Let's get that out of the way. Let me start over here. What do you think of Solana? I think I missed the boat. That's what I truly, truly think. I think I missed the boat and I wish I would have gotten on top of that, but not. I think it's gonna be pretty great. We'll just, we'll find out what happens. Let me go back here and stop share. One second. Now. If you could. All right. CJ will be joining us for a moment and we'll go with those questions that everybody has and go from there. But before he stops in, let me see what you got. Okay, first of all, sound. How's the sound? Trading nickels? Hello, Solana's on a pullback. So maybe we should get into that. Maybe we should. Sound is muffled. Nothing wrong with the sound. Okay. I don't know what to tell you. Some people it's all about, it's what you're listening into. If you're listening to like Bose super fantastic headphones, then it's gonna sound, you know, a little bit crazy, but if you're just listening to regular speakers, not too bad. This is the last week I will be using Zoom. I swear to God, I will be using OBS from now on, especially when I have people come in like CJ here. Hey, Rob, good to see you, sir. What are you doing? Sure, as always. Thanks, man. Thanks for stopping by. So, CJ, what are you up to? Just watching the markets today, nice little move in Bitcoin going on. That's always nice to see. But yeah, just getting ready for the weekends. You know, we got community over at Market Rebellion, so we're always in the room, bouncing questions off one another and learning CA. I, you know, I was just in the room watching the most recent TA video premiere, so be happy to answer any questions anybody may have. And we will get those in a bit. So let's see. Let's see what we got. Let me share my screen, we can pull these up. And here we are. Let me see if it, let me see what we got. Here's a quick question. Is Voyager still a buy? So, due to Market Rebellion's relationship and partnership with Voyager, I cannot give advice on when to buy or sell Voyager, including technical analysis. But what I'll say is that I'm still holding my full Voyager position and don't have any intention of selling it anytime soon. That's amazing. First of all, there's just two things to talk about real quick. So what CJ just said is sometimes you don't, that's not, that's like, you'll never get that full story out of YouTubers, right? They're like, oh, I don't hold any, but I really love this project. And it's like, you know, it's ranked 1,237, but you should get into a few buyers. At least CJ is like, listen, listen, because of our partnership or our coupling with Voyager, we can't give you any advice. That's great. Thank you. Now I'll give you advice about Voyager. What did digital Dave say today? This is my financial opinion. I'm gonna start using that instead of saying a financial advice. This is my financial opinion. And my opinion is this, and we went into big detail yesterday. I talked about Voyager. I talked about the future I talked about. I think it's gonna be my next bank. And there's three things I'd like to say. First of all, people ask me about my price prediction, is it still 30 to 75 bucks? Yes. Second of all, are the people still good over there? Do you believe in those people? Yes. And then the third thing is, is do you think it's a therefore a very long hold? And are they improving? Yes, yes, and yes. The thing is they're just not, they're almost there. They're almost there. They're going to make it. Gives you that 120 days, which I think, what was it? Middle May we're gonna go for? Summer. Yeah. So we'll do that. All right. That is my financial opinion. That's it. Now what else we got? Trey Nichols says he got me laughing about real shills. I'm not sure. Let me remind you, Trey Nichols and everybody out there, there's a reason why I wear this T-shirt. King of the Shills. Cause I am the king. I shill like crazy. I shill T-shirts and I shill my free website, DanTeachersCrypta.com. I shill wallets from Exeter. I mean, name it. I can, that's hard to shill if you think about it. That's all the hard stuff. So yeah, I still try. I'm losing my title though. There's a couple of people that are really killing me in that shill department. Here's a good question from Chris says, CJ, how do you know how far back to look when doing TA specifically looking at trends with candlesticks? You can go anytime in history. There's actually a cool feature on TradingView that lets you go back in time and replay the candles as if they were occurring in real time. And you'll still see the same patterns over like a long time. That's one of the cool things about technical analysis. It's applicable across all assets and all timeframes, especially when it comes to candlesticks. Hey, you know what? I had a real basic question that I wanted to ask you and which was how do you set things up in TradingView for like, like just basics, you know, just follow us through because first of all, is TradingView, do you have to pay for that service? Is there like more advanced stuff where you can, you know, get like a free account? There's a lot of basics. You can get a free account at TradingView, but I have a premium account at this point. This just helps a lot with like equities and having multiple charts and stuff. But if you're a beginner, I mean, you don't have to do that. There are a lot more custom indicators that we've built at our Marker Rebellion charting platform that has been a lot of fun to design. If you'd like to learn more about that or see the sequential indicator because that's one that's not automatically programmed into TradingView. And so that one is at marketrebellion.com forward slash crypto on our platform. But sorry, Rob, I feel like I fully answered that question. How about this? I'm gonna, well, okay, how about this? I've got a free trial right now at TradingView. Show here, I'm gonna share my screen. Everybody see that? For the uninitiated, how do I set this up? This looks very complex to me. Like show me like how to get like the RSI and like how about the eight EMA, the eight day EMA or something like that. Yeah, well, go to the chart on top left and create a new one. It's probably gonna start with Apple. Yeah, so yeah, we can go to BTC. The coin health studios. I always like to go to the Bitstamp chart if you just go BTC USD because Bitstamp is, they've got the most historic data. I think they've got data going all the way back to like 2012 or something. But yeah, that top one is the one you want. This one, the Bitstamp, got it. Okay. Hey, you're not too bad today. No, not at all. Nice move in the markets. Oh, this is 13 all the way on it. Okay. I was like, what the heck? It must be on a daily. Okay. So show us how to set this up. How like the basics of basics someone would want to check this up just to see where things are going. Yeah, so just right of the one day up in the top left. Okay. You go to, you see that little like line looking thing, the symbol just right of the day. It's on the top axis. This here? Right one. Yes. Okay. And then just click candles. There you go. And then there's gonna be an FX symbol as well at the top just right of the candle button. You can hit that one. That's where the indicators live. So you can try a lot of various indicators if you'd like to learn about some. The basics, the ones that I use are the stochastic. So that's S-T-O-C-H. Yep, the top one right there. And also the CCI. It's also called the Commodities Channel Index. Yeah, Commodity Channel Index right there. And then the smooth moving average. We'll go with that one. Actually, no, I wanna keep it more simple than that. Thank you. The parabolic czar. If you just parabolic and then SAR. Yeah, the second one there. All right. You can only add three with the basics here. So let's just start here. Awesome. So here we've got the SAR. Here we've got the stochastic fantastic and the CCI. So what are we looking at? So yeah, these just help you. Think of these like you're flying an airplane and you've got your gauges and your certain levels that you follow. When you are looking at the stochastic or that purple band you'll look that when we get kind of down lower in that trough there, like when we go, I'm talking about like on the actual stoke like on the stochastic. Stochastic, okay. Yeah, like right there. That's overbought territory. And that's just a warning sign that we're probably going to go down. Same is true if we get and say an oversold territory. We go from being down and then of course being up. But you see how those intersections kind of occur at the bottom. When you see those intersections that's a pretty good indication that the trend is turning. And as you can see when you look back up at the candlesticks that measure price above those show that we have bullish momentum and prices increasing. So when you're getting in that oversold territory it's a signal to tell you, hey, the trend's probably going to turn around because momentum's either getting really overbought or really oversold. And so it's basically that same premise on both the stochastic and the CCI down below. Anytime you're outside of those standard deviations probably means that we're going to come and revert to a mean or something like it. Gotcha. See actionable advice. There we go. So this is for people who are like, just like me who have no idea. So CJ, this must be like talking to an infant when you're talking to me about charts and whatnot, you're like this and this and this but everybody's on a different level. That's just how it goes. So talk to us real quick about the CCI. So the CCI and this goes for pretty much all the indicators. Very rarely will I ever just look at one indicator and say, okay, this is what's going to happen. Like I said before, think of it like an airplane that you're flying and you're looking at your gauges for however, whatever, how high you are. So you want to use these in conjunction with one another. You want to see these lining up together. So like where your mouse cursor is right there, Rob, you can see that both of those indicators and both the CCI and the stoke are very oversold at that particular point. So what happened then after both of those indicators got into a severely oversold territory? Well, buyer stepped in and the price rallied and that would have been a nice time to get into a trade based on the fact that both of those indicators started ticking back up and started getting more bullish momentum. So anytime you get into one of those extremes, it's a warning signal that the trend's probably gonna do something interesting. And it's been a pretty reliable consistent pattern as you've seen with Bitcoin these past few weeks. Yeah, not too bad. All right, everybody. So this is just for the basics, the basics of basics, that's the way to put it out not to get too over crazy. And of course, there's a link in the description. You want to look for more information over there for Market Rebellion. I think I talked to that to death at a nice little arrows in a video going down constantly. So whatever you want to do, of course, let's go back and let's answer some questions and see if there's got any. What the? All right. I'll commit always a troll. We love trolls. I do it for the trolls. That's why. Such good info. Bitcoin to 100K by 4th of July. Price prediction season, throw some out there. 115K by October. It's pretty good. Safe Moon, I keep hearing about that. I think it's no good, but I could be wrong. I don't, once you see a certain project on TikTok over just crushing it, it's a good idea to stay away. Of course, there is one exception that's called Dogecoin. So I'm telling this, that one, what are you gonna do? Have you been to the Safe Moon website, Rob? I think I have. Catchphrase as it says, Safe Moon to the moon safely. You know, I gotta tell you, it's actually pretty good. I don't know what the marketing team is, but yeah, I'll take that. Let's see, thanks for this. Bitcoin to today's, let me say the moving of the moon. All right. Can Rune out the farm cake with no idea. The Safe Moon scam. Just listen to what CJ said. Patience pays off. There is only one king, exactly. What's your opinion about BTT? I think it's a good investment, actually. Watch Mike the investor. He's a YouTuber and he knows the stuff about that. Not me. Mike Da investor. Da, Mike Da, that's right. Mike Da investor. Hey, here's a good question. Have, can you explain to MacD? That's a good question. Yes. Do you mind if I share my screen? Cause I'll actually go through. I can just bring it up. Yeah. Can you do it? Yeah. Let me just pull up a tab and I'll get it going. Some of that. Go ahead. I was going to say someone in the comments section. Why does this guy seem so smug? He seems very smug. That's either me or CJ. The reason why we seem so smug is because we don't have much stress in our lives. That's what helps. When you have a low stress life, you're just kind of like, whatever. All right. So the MacD, the MacD and how you can use it is very similar to kind of the stochastic in the sense that you're looking for these areas of intersection. The MacD is what is known as an oscillator. And so it measures past price action and assigns momentum to it based on that fact. And not every indicator is always perfect. TA is not perfect by any means. The thing why we use TA is just trying to assign various probabilities the best we can. But if you look at this weekly chart of Bitcoin and you look at what has happened when we've hit these levels of bearish intersection in the MacD before, it's been pretty rough. Let me clear up some of this chart just so it's a little easier to see. But check it out. In 2017, we had a massive bearish cross on the MacD there that signaled, hey, we may go down and we might be in some trouble in terms of the overall macro trend. Same thing happened in our run up to 14K, when we had that interim rally during the course of the bear market. I mean, we ended the bear market with this. I remember that. Yeah, I remember that. And unfortunately, the MacD is entering a very similar state in which it is having one of those very similar bearish crossovers that could lead to a potential macro downturn to maybe a retest of prior support. Now this worries me, but the MacD is one of the only indicators right now that I look at at a regular basis that has given me a very strong warning signal like this. I don't think we're going down to like 35K as of now, but the fact that we're getting that bearish cross on the MacD is a little troubling. Let's just take a quick glance at another asset like Tesla and how the MacD has performed relative to it. That was interesting with that MacD because you hear other people say, the bull runs over, the bull runs over. Then see people say, no, they're crazy, the bull runs, the bull runs gonna happen. And I just wonder sometimes if like the TA community just says, well, I'm looking at this one indicator and it says this, I don't look at some other type of indicators. I don't know because if everybody's looking at this, I mean, because everybody sees the same thing you see CJ, every trader who has access to trading view and MacD and moving average and stupastic, they can all find this information. So maybe it's just one of those things where like, if they say it is, then it becomes it. I don't know. No, that's very true. TA is one of the assumptions that you make when you use TA is that it is essentially a self-fulfilling prophecy in the sense that if traders like me and many others are all looking at these same charts saying, oh my God, we're getting a bearish crossover on the MacD, this might be a time to sell. And then all those people go through and make that same decision at the same time, then the TA does become a self-fulfilling prophecy. And we also use the assumption that TA is taken from history. And we look at past chart patterns and extrapolate their potential and probabilities going into the future. But yeah, you wanna look for these crossovers, they're just, they're warning signs whenever you get on the MacD. So that was a, hey, go back to the Bitcoin chart. Let's see if we can find some crossovers for MacD in the past, besides the 2017, 2018 and then the recent one. Is there any other ones that we could see? Like, yes. And then we could take a look at how far the dip was. That would be the question. Because dips and pullbacks are pretty normal. We did a story about this, about how in the 2017 bull market, the app, it was the pullbacks were between 29 and 40%. So they averaged out about 35% or something like that, which isn't too bad. And the last one we had was around, I wanna say 27 to 31%. So I mean, pretty average wipe. So let's see if we can find some more other MacD in the past and how it went. Yeah, so as you can see, I mean, there's never been this amount of volume or this amount of activity on the MacD. I mean, not even close. Oh yeah. So it is somewhat interesting. I don't know totally what to make out of that, especially because this is why technical analysis in and of itself is not 100% perfect. I don't think it tells the full story. I think it's only 50% of my trading personally. I look at something like this and I say, gosh, this is a really big warning signal, but does on chain metrics do the fundamentals confirm a massive correction like what we saw in the previous history? And judging by the amount of Bitcoin held in cold storage, judging by a lot of those fundamental on chain metrics, you know, we're not in the same type of market environment that we were back in 2017 when we had that first bearish cross on the MacD. So is it applicable? I don't know. I wouldn't make a trading decision based on this signal because it could be a false reading. What would you get for a confirmation to where you'd be like, you know what? I need to get out or I need to take some profits or just, you know, do my own little pullback. What would you look at? Well, that's a very interesting question. And in order to answer that, I want to look at some more closer levels because when it comes to entering and exiting, to me, it's more about whether or not we break what is known as support or resistance. And resistance is just any price level like this one, you know, roughly 60 to 62K in which price has not been able to get above. Same is true for support, you know, it's a price in which the buyers have stepped in and bought out of. But if we fall below, say 45K, this is a critical level on the weekly chart, you know, we could test out. And as you can see this level that I've kind of been worried about is around the 38K to 45K region. I don't want to scare people. I think there's a very low likelihood of this occurring but I'm trying to observe the worst case scenario. But I do think a break and a firm close on the weekly chart below the critical 45K level could lead us down to test possible lower levels. So I guess, so that would be like, like the big thing right there. So everybody just think to yourself, you know, as you're hearing this right now, because what are we at right now as far as Bitcoin? The price, is it $56K? It's at $57K now. Yeah, we've had a nice bullish day. So I mean, think of it this way, everybody. So if you're looking at $57K, you have to drop all the way down to, what was the support level, $48K or $45K? Roughly $45K. I think honestly, when it gets there, I think people would be a little bit more concerned anyhow, because you just dropped what, 12 grand? So yeah, I would say like at that point, then there might be a bigger correction of foot, but for right now, I'd be okay. And the circumstances are gonna be different. You know, we're gonna have to reevaluate if we do go to a potential price level like that. I don't think we will. I think we're very bullish right now. And we could still go to these levels and finish the year above 130K, 115K due to Bitcoin's historic implied volatility. So it's an interesting market cycle we're in. And just remember, everybody, there's a different mentality. There's a trader mentality. They wanna get in position, they get out positions, and there's a long-term investor mentality. Like myself was like, you know what? Whatever you wanna do. So whatever you're into right now, like I do a 95% investing, I do 5% trading with CJ and Alex on the Trinity trading. Oh, speaking of which, the Trinity trading series. So let me, hold on. It's not right. Yeah, how was waves doing today? I haven't looked at the price. Well, we got crushed. First of all, let me pull up waves. Let's see how we're doing. Price was only about 1988. Yeah, when I think we did it. So it's looking good. So let me jump back. I'm gonna share my screen with the questions. Sorry, buddy, that one a little bit more advanced I wanted to. Bella's faith. So funny, never talked about XRP. I talk about XRP. I said, oh, Tommy, go XRP, watch out. Blah, blah, blah. I talk about it. So don't tell me what I don't talk about. I talk about it. I still hold it as a matter of fact. I know people always get all on me, but I sold it for essentially like, someone considered wash trading. All right, but it's not. Cause it's crypto, that doesn't exist. This is a good one. Why is the daily MACD the exact opposite of the weekly MACD? We'll get, I'll have CJ answer that. That's all good. Boss courses says I'm from Alex Becker. Alex Becker, who is that? Just kidding. I don't know if you guys have seen Alex Becker's video today. It's fantastic. It was about the people who make a lot of money in crypto and what that entails. So what I wanted to show you, where I get off topic like I usually do. So we did a Trinity trading series and one of our picks was Waze. And this was on April 27th. Was that Tuesday? Tuesday, right? Yes. And this is, you can find this in the description of every one of my videos. It's just called, it does a little fly. Like it says Trinity trading. And for everyone that we've ever done, we just put in what our trades were and the profits and losses. So on this one, we thought it was gonna go up pretty darn high. And for this particular one, Waze, April 27th at 1321 military time, or 121 PM Eastern Standard Time was at $19.80. And we put it as a short term because we thought it would go up pretty well. So I went from 1980 and it topped out around 2140, 2150 somewhere around there. And I just got out because when it hit like 4140 or 450, it started to go down a little bit. And I was like, ah, I'm out. I told you I'm not a big trader. And then I think it dropped down like another 5% after that. However, today we're looking at 22, what, CJ? Yeah, it was over 22. I don't have the chart up at the moment. But it's okay. So 2240. 2240. So it's one of those things we're like, you know, we were using technicals, we were using fundamental, we were using sentiment, but we don't always get it 100% right. I thought it was gonna be like a 25% breakout, maybe a 30% breakout, the way that everything was looking. It just didn't work out like that. So if you're going to trade again, just be careful with that and just set your stop losses and then you can get out and everything's good. But for this one, I mean, 7% isn't great. But the other ones were pretty good. We did storm X, 94% that was from 24 hours. I like that one. Harmony, that took a couple of days though from March 18th to the 21st. Now we had some okay ones here, 20% for Orchid and 50%. So just 10. I think it really just shows you how much this market has been trending upward. Even if the price doesn't go with you right off the bat, most of the time, a lot of these assets have just continued to trend upward. And like, I haven't picked any of those assets on the list. I just do the technical analysis, but it's been Alex and formerly Weston who've made those picks and the fact that they're all green. Like that's really unheard of. And I think it does speak to the testaments of how bullish this market is. Yeah, but there's going to come a day and we're going to do a Trinity trading and something's going to bomb. I told this to Alex and he was like, yeah, maybe. He goes, but we've got a pretty good streak so far. So we'll see how that all works out. All right. And then CJ, I know you got a little bit of time. Your time is limited. So what does follow up with last couple of questions? It says, why is a daily MACD the exact opposite of the weekly MACD? I don't know about that one. So yeah, the moving averages that are structured to build the MACD, they are moving averages. And so they're measuring different periods of time. Obviously the MACD is measuring a much longer stretch of time because it's based on the weekly chart. The daily MACD is measuring something on a smaller, shorter-term timeframe. So those intersections and those lines on the chart are going to move faster because they're on a shorter-term timeframe. So if you want to trade like, you know, there are some traders who only look at the weekly chart to make trades and then there are traders who will only look at the daily charts to make trades and they only focus on those time frames. And so I haven't looked exactly at the MACD on the daily, but I'm sure it's probably in a very bullish posture based on our previous price action. Obviously that's going to be very different than the weekly MACD of what we just looked at. So it's all relative to the timeframe in which you're trading around it. Makes sense. All right, so I didn't want to make this too complex. I just wanted to just answer some questions. I think we did did pretty good. I think that's it for today. Everybody let that diffuse into your brains and hopefully that helps you, helped some of you a little bit about how to do little technicals. So you can take all the information that you can and make the best decision for yourself. Anyhow, CJ, thanks for stopping by again. Appreciate it. Rob, thank you so much and thank you to everyone watching. You have a wonderful intelligent YouTube community and I think all the compliments, you know, in the comments. So appreciate it and I hope everyone has a great weekend. That's true. They are intelligent and they'll tell you they're intelligent too. All right, so talk to everybody later. I'll see you.
