DeepSeek Just Triggered A Huge Market Crash! [How Bad Will It Get?]

This is the worst day for altcoins in quite some time the selloff across the market has been brutal over the past 24 hours and in today's video I want to explain why the crypto Market is crashing look at all the reasons why we are experiencing this downside I'm also going to discuss what I'm doing during this period one thing that has me a bit worried about the market right now and how things could potentially pan out Over the coming days and then I also want to talk about what my Approach is in terms of dcing

into positions because there are a few positions which I think are starting to represent some really strong value in the market I want to get into those coins and then I'm going to be talking about some of the coins that I would be avoiding right now and uh and waiting on so hopefully this video gives you a little bit more context as to what is happening because it's a lot bigger Than just crypto this isn't just you know one of these crypto dips based on some sort of crypto thing um there's actually something much much

much bigger at play here and it's all to do with deep seek which is a new AI model which launched out of China and it has a lot of the AI World absolutely shocked and it's these fears that are affecting the stock market which has ramifications for crypto so we do have a lot to dig into today because it could lead to all sorts Of outcomes in the short and the mid to long term we're going to discuss some of those outcomes today and of course I'm going to keep you updated throughout the week as

things evolve we've got fomc in 2 days time which is obviously going to be massive for crypto we're going to discuss that uh today and it's just going to be a turbulent week in general so this isn't the way I wanted to start off my Monday waking up and and seeing this across the market um obviously a Lot of the coins I'm holding today uh are down significantly and no investor wants to see this but I do also think there are some opportunities being created that are really really clear and I think uh this video

will be valuable for you as well to actually Identify some of those opportunities so I guess the first thing we need to get into is why is the market dipping and primarily I think a lot of this dip is being driven by the launch of deep seek R1 Which is a new AI model that came out of China which is rivaling chat gbt not just rivaling in terms of cost apparently it's up to 97% cheaper to run so it's a very very efficient model and apparently in terms of functionality it is actually stronger than open

AI modeling uh what's interesting here is that there's been reports that this was only funded with around $10 million worth of capital and was a really small development Studio that actually created This versus open AI which has raised hundreds of millions of dollars and has obviously a massive engineering team behind it now we can't verify that at all we don't know if the Chinese government has uh something to do with this and is Maybe funding it we don't know um I'm only going off the reports but obviously when you hear a small of a smaller

Studio creating a revolutionary model compared to some of the massive Studios with a lot of funding uh that's Going to definitely raise some eyebrows uh just to give you a summary here on what deep seek is it's a Chinese AI startup uh that launched a new model which Rivals open ai's leading models in performance but operates at a significantly lower cost released on January 20th deep seek R1 has GED attention for its efficiency and open source nature available under an MIT license this development has sparked discussions within the tech industry Particularly amongst those concerned with

ai's accessibility and the potential shifts in Global Tech leadership we actually saw in terms of downloads on the App Store deep seek actually flipped chat GPT so a lot of people are rushing to test out this application by all reports it's absolutely amazing and it definitely is a step forward for AI in terms of the current commercial model that are available kabes letter here says let us Get this straight deep seek was built in under two months for less than $10 million and now it's number one on the App Store on top of this it

was built without out data chips and a small team of less than 200 people meanwhile the US is pouring 500 billion dollar into AI how is the NASDAQ not in trouble here so these are the questions starting to be asked which is resulting in a little bit of the the Jitters surrounding the stock market specifically uh Tech stock St Like Nvidia which have been really driving the performance of the stock market so you did see as a reaction the US markets are significantly ticking down into US Open which will be happening around the time of

uploading this video I think I'm going to upload this a few hours beforehand but at the time of recording this um us markets are going to close significantly in the red you have the US tech 100 which is the NASDAQ index down 3% in terms of Futures You have the US S&P 500 down 2% in terms of futures and the us30 down 1% obviously one of the biggest losers on the open is going to be Nvidia which has also been one of the biggest gainers over the past few months which has driven markets higher and

higher so it has led to questions about you know is the AI bubble bursting and obviously if the AI bubble is bursting that would be quite bad for the stock market and if we see a draw down in the stock market then Risk on assets are obviously going to suffer in the short term and I guess that is one of the reasons why we're seeing such a big draw down across the crypto Market at the moment because crypto is a leading indicator typically when markets go risk off crypto knee jerks first that's why you're seeing

Bitcoin come down quite a bit today from 105k to 99k and of course altcoins they're on an even higher risk beta to bitcoin so when The stock market goes down let's say 3% Bitcoin might go down 10% ethereum might go down 15% a lot of altcoins are going to go down 20 to 30% which does explain why alt are getting hit a lot harder at the moment and obviously that's being compounded by the fact that a lot of altcoin investors are exhausted at the moment and there's kind of a lack of a North star for

the market after Trump's inauguration now this obviously could change in a couple days time we're going To speak about that slightly later in today's video with fomc and heading into February February which is a seasonally better period uh for cryptocurrency in terms of price performance but it is clear that the market has the Jitters and that is why we are getting an allcoin selloff later in today's video I'm going to speak about whether I think this selloff is a buying opportunity or whether you should wait um because could things potentially get worse I think That

is something a lot of people are wondering right now another thing A lot of people are wondering about is what the implications are going to be um on not just the stock market but also the global uh Power of economies so if you do look at the US Stock Market it's selling off at the moment in terms of Futures if you look at the Asian stock market so the Shanghai index Hong Kong 50 even the Australian Market these were actually up so we saw all of the Asian Markets up whilst the US market is down

so there has been a lot of questions about uh could we potentially see a sell-off in US markets as uh the market is realizing that AI development isn't just native to the US it's actually a global phenomenon and there are powerhouses in China that are capable of cooking these you know big models and products which are going to rival the US products so it's almost like the AI uh war is going to be one of the focal Points of the relative strength of these Global economies and we know that because the world is heading into

a more AI Centric economy people are going to use AI in their daily lives AI is going to power a lot of businesses AI is going to run a lot of service businesses so naturally Whoever has the leg up in AI is going to have the more dominant economy where seeing the early signs of this being priced in at the moment but of course this is an Adaptive thing when New tech launchers in certain countries when new models come out that tends to sway how the market views uh the global economies in terms of AI

you can see Arthur Hayes saying here what if the rise of deep seat causes Global Investors to question us exceptionalism what if they question whether they overweight us Tech versus the world and why they overweight us bonds versus the world so this could be a really interesting thing you know could this Lead to the US dollar going down because a lot of people instead of parking their money in US bonds and US Stocks they Park them in in in other economies um that could create uh an environment where the US uh markets weaken and then

other economies strengthen all of this is being extrapolated of one model so I don't think there's any definitive answer to these questions but it's definitely got people questioning things um it's been a little bit I think of a Mental reset for the market that okay America isn't home to all the innovation in the world there there are other countries capable of producing amazing things um as an AI uh Enthusiast or as a Tech head this actually might be quite exciting from a crypto application perspective better models is good cheaper models is good I'll discuss that

in a minute here because you can accelerate the adoption of these AI applications but in the short term it Does have a lot of you know investors freaking out and the US is still the dominant Powerhouse when it comes to driving the crypto Market and driving the technology market so when crypto is so correlated to the NASDAQ obviously when the NASDAQ sells off crypto is going going to experience a little bit of weakness and that is what we're seeing uh I want to touch on Nvidia for a second and then we're going to get into

what the implications are for Crypto specifically so looking at Nvidia you can see that it is in terms of future selling off but looking at the chart right now um it already had a little bit of a sell-off on Friday but I expect this to continue into Monday and Tuesday I in in the short term I'm bearish on Nvidia you can see here um it actually came down and is testing this major support level uh the support level from the pre-trump pump that is now being tested in terms of Futures uh if You do go

out back to the weekly chart you can see that that level is here at the 130 Zone if we do break that zone that is a momentum shift for NVIDIA if you just look at the money noodle indicator which is the indicator that I like to use on on the high time frames in video has been really adhering to this so you saw a bounce off that level once um it came down to retest then reversed bounced twice three times we are now getting a fourth retest I think This level for NVIDIA really needs to

hold because if we do see a breakdown it could come down to this next level here at $100 now obviously that would be very bearish for Tech if Nvidia dropped 30% but it's on the table right now and that is one of the things to be a little bit concerned about could this sell off in Nvidia and up extrapolating and getting worse I guess it just depends on how the market actually digests this news does it think that it threatens nvidia's Underlying business model I mean it slightly does because uh the valuation of Nvidia is

is underpinned by the cost that uh AI applications actually cost right so if you have high cost Solutions you're going to need a lot more gpus and demand for gpus is going to be higher so the market now needs to price in okay if there's going to be this huge crunching of cost across the all these AI models how is that potentially going to impact the profitability of Nvidia and that's What is being digested right now and that's what's resulting in in a pullback for NVIDIA now Nvidia obviously still has the lead in terms of

global gpus it's obviously still the number one AI proxy play um and I still think it's going to be around I don't think this is the death of Nvidia I don't think you should be extrapolating that based on one model that launches but it has raised questions and those questions cause uncertainty and uncertainty and Doubt in the market is what drives fear and fear is what drives selloff so from a technical perspective look at how Nvidia reacts to the crossover here of the money noodle moving average alongside this horizontal support if you do see a

breakdown that could lead to a bigger Cascade um which eventually I think results in an amazing buying opportunity right and uh definitely probably result in stimulus for the markets I'm going to touch on that point In a second however in the short term it could get a little bit ugly now I think crypto is an asset class which front runs a little bit I think uh a lot of the fear in the market of this potential eventuality results in a bigger crypto sell-off up front so even if Nvidia kept bleeding I don't think crypto would

just bleed out I think it would front run in the in the early days of this occurring and then start to stabilize uh but obviously that's what's causing panic Right now and it's causing Jitters in the market I do have a plan for this though uh in terms of my altcoin Holdings I'll speak about that later in today's video I even think it's going to create some opportunity on select altcoins but it is a period in the market where you need to be a little bit wary I'm also careful of getting too bearish on on

one headline obviously deep seek you know flipping chut gbt is pretty crazy and we're seeing a lot of Articles come out about it and uh it's a big development for AI in terms of the the lower cost and the improved model but I don't think it's a reason to completely uh capitulate um in fear because it's just a singular event and this event how the market reacts to it's I think going to tell us a lot about um the efficacy of the claims that a lot of people are making right now at the end of

the day the price action of a market tells you really all you need to know so Now let's get into what the implications are for crypto we've kind of spoken about some implications for NVIDIA and the stock market and how it's reacting but let's get into the implications for crypto then I'm going to get into how it actually affects crypto AI then I'm going to get into my buy the dip plan how I'm actually approaching that and then I'm going to talk about some of the major cryptocurrencies in the market so going to be uh

an alpha- packed video For you guys and I think a really needed one because a lot of people are freaking out right now I think there's elements of of worry which are totally justified but then there are other things which I think uh are totally unjustified and I think some people are missing the bigger context here and how it actually affects crypto so let's actually dive into that now um talking about the implications for Bitcoin as I mentioned Bitcoin is reacting to this selloff and is one of The assets that is selling off a little

bit stronger because it is a base um I mean longer term this shouldn't affect Bitcoin at all I think Bitcoin as as a hard asset has a very important place in the uh global economy I think with everything that is on bitcoin side right now potential Sovereign adoption of Bitcoin um the potential Bitcoin strategic uh Reserve all the hype behind Bitcoin with the ETF Trump coming in I think there's too much in terms of uh Tailwinds for Bitcoin to be like bearish right now one thing I'm just wary of in terms of price action is

just looking at how Bitcoin reacts uh in the market structurally so you can see here we are having a retest now of this 100K support level if we do break down and come back into this range the range that we started to formulate on the 20th of November I think we could potentially chop in this range for a little while that's something that paradise spoke About on the video that I did on Friday the low of the range is 93k so if we do close Below in the daily and Bre the money noodle here 93k

is a genuine possibility I'm not going to like you know feed you pure hopium like just based on the charts and we can only go off the charts 93k if we close back into the range is in play however we haven't closed back into the range yet the Bulls are still fighting to keep Bitcoin intact here I think the reaction for Bitcoin a lot of it will depend on fomc which we'll speak about later and whether we actually you know see po come out super hawkish or whether he softens the market a little bit because

of what what's happening in terms of uh prices but um Bitcoin is going to be extremely sensitive to that the other thing I want to point out is that the dr- risking prior to to an fomc is a very common phenomenon for Bitcoin we pretty much see it every fomc especially when There's a major focus on macro and usually when there's a major focus on macro it's because there's an absence of other North Stars for the market so all the fomc's whilst Trump uh once it was announced that Trump won the election the market didn't

really care you know none of of the macro data the market really cared about because it was a trump pump so it went up and up and up because the market had a North start and that's Trump's inauguration now that That's behind us and people are looking forward to what's next is it a strategic Bitcoin Reserve is it crazy money printing like what is going to be the next Catalyst the market is now paying a lot more attention to macro as a Northstar remember markets hate uncertainty they always want to look for a North star

they always want to be guided by something and because of that relative to what other events are available the Market will fixate on an event and I feel like in this instance the event that the market is fixating on is fomc and because it's so heightened due to the fact that there's a blackout period in February and the next one isn't until mid to late March the import the relative importance of this has increased and for that reason any sell-off that happens pre fomc is probably going to be greater because the market is trying to

pre plan the risk I Actually think based on price action the market is almost reacted like it's going to be bad it's it's preempting this so even if it even if pal is hawkish and you know we get a bad fomc our Market's going to keep going down after that there's a genuine case that we see a reversal because uh it's already priced into the market but um that's something I'll touch on a little bit more later in my buy the dip section of the video but definitely FC is another thing that's at Play here

which is I guess accelerating the draw down if we didn't have fomc and um the market still had a North star like Trump I don't think this whole deep seek thing would be as bad for crypto but I think because the Market's already jittery because we've run up so much people are kind of trying to pre- drisk to just avoid getting completely wrecked um although it is an awkward spot for a lot of allcoin holders to actually Dr risk because a lot of the uh High time Frame invalidations they hit earlier in the month so

to be drisking now it's kind of a risky game but I totally understand why Bitcoin holders may do it because relative to Old Coins Bitcoin hasn't dropped as much so there still is a window to potentially Dr risk on bitcoin but going back into the actual implications of this whole deep seek launch on crypto itself uh I want to read out this tweet from game for one because I think it's a I think it's an Amazing tweet which really summarizes the implications uh he says I've often seen Nvidia as the barometer for the AI bubble

deep seek proves why Nvidia dominance has relied on startups paying premiums for open AIS apis and splurging on gpus like the h100 because it's so expensive demand for gpus increased significantly but R1 flips the script and 01 level model on power gbt 4 free open source and 30X cheaper to run on Friday Nvidia shares dropped as the Market began to digest the implications whether this was an overreaction will become clear as markets open but typically markets overreact so we might see a bounce at open I think this was a few hours ago I don't think

we're going to see a major bounce at open and video keeps dropping in terms of Futures here's the tldr on R1 and why it matters backed by Chinese Quant fun high flyer deep-seat trained R1 on a scale that would usually require cuttingedge Hardware but they achiev this by optimizing their training process for efficiency this turned what could have been a limitation into an advantage the result a model that matches or outperforms chat GPT in areas like MTH and coding while being dramatically cheaper to run built on an Innovative hybrid architecture of chain of thought process

R1 isn't just another clone of us developed AI it's a genuine Leap Forward will this Dent nvidia's growth Startups play a crucial role in nvidia's dominance they're key drivers of demand startups not only use apis from giants like open AI anthropic and Gro but many also purchase gpus directly to train their own models this double layered demand has been a Cornerstone of nvidia's growth if startups begin to follow deep seeks efficiency focused Playbook relying on less expensive top tier gpus it could reduce demand for nvidia's most profitable products this Is a very very good point

basically saying that uh if other companies start trying to become more efficient to compete with deep seek how does this affect Nvidia because maybe there'll be less demand for gpus but the second order effects go even deeper if demand for high in gpus Decline Nvidia might face pressure to lower prices which could Ripple across the entire AI ecosystem lower GPU prices could lower barriers to entry for Smaller players accelerating Innovation but also intensifying competition the shift from Brute Force spending on Hardware to more efficient processors could fundamentally change how AI products are built monetized and

scale this is really bullish by the way for AI cheap AI is good this benefits the AI crypto sector we're going to touch on that in a minute because cheaper models allow you to democratize access for AI it's a huge Boon for decentralized AI But it's bad for more centralized business models like Nvidia which rely on higher prices so there could be a scenario here where it's bad for NVIDIA but it's actually quite good for AI development in general um and that's why I don't think apart from this you know risking selloff that we're seeing

the crypto AI industry will be negatively affected in fact I think it will be positively affected and I think it reaffirms some of the core values that I Really believe in when it comes to you know crypto AI accessibility um democratization of AI uh the security factor is going to become a major thing who actually controls AI I think all of this is being highlighted by Deep seek and is probably in the favor of crypto AI but you know not great for NVIDIA which is one of the stocks which has I guess kept the overall

stock market index um a float or potentially boy uh prices maybe slightly artificially just Due to how much it outperformed and how large of a waiting it actually took of these indexes I'll just read this last bit here and then I'll get on with that point for NVIDIA the challenge isn't just about losing revenue from startups it's about losing its position as the default enabler of ai's future the market appears to be front running this possibility with nvidia's price drops reflecting fears that r1s could impact spread but is the reaction overdone Businesses still prioritized results

and r1's lower cost of experimentation could make it a commercial magnet nvidia's growth now hinges on how startups balance price versus performance but the scale and speed of this shift remain uncertain how will US players respond open AI has delayed O3 reportedly due to concerns over its disruptive potential but competition like this could force those timelines to accelerate this will definitely happen by the way I think It's going to cause a bit of AI panic in the us and we're probably going to see Trump come out and speak even more about AI in the US

as a as a KNE reaction to the R1 model if open source Innovation like R1 becomes the standard what happens to the moat that us-based AI leaders like open AI anthropic and Google have relied on the second order effect here is clear us players will face pressure to innovate faster even at risk of destabilizing existing Ecosystems Trump's push to make AI a key campaign pillar ATS urgency expect the US to double down but will this lead to rushed releases or policy changes that will inadvertedly create new vulnerabilities the bigger picture deep seek R1 isn't just

a warning shot it's proof that the AI landscape is Shifting in real time the market may be front running these changes but the full impact on Nvidia the AI ecosystem and US players will take time to materialize How this plays out depends on whether key players can navigate the new Dynamics or falter under the pressure of accelerating Innovation game for one also adds some uh thoughts on crypto AI coins which we'll get into uh slightly later but I wanted to point out Ram's thread first because this is also a good one in terms of the

potential implications uh before I get into how I think it's a good thing for crypto aai and then how I'm actually approaching The market overall um I want to reiterate this is kind of a complex thing that we're grappling with because we're basically seeing increase competition in AI lower cost in AI um it's a it's a very interesting scenario because it genuinely has positive implications for some areas of crypto but negative maybe implications on stocks like Nvidia which have kind of pushed stock market up so it's going to be interesting to see how markets react

Uh because if the AI market like realizes it actually might be a good thing we could see a lot of those projects perform really well but if Nvidia continues to drag the index down could crypto just kind of act as a beta to risk and and keep faltering or going sideways it's a genuinely like interesting uh proposition uh and one we'll discuss a little bit more later Rand thinks things could get worse um I agree with them to an extent but with Some Nuance I'll get to after I read out his thread he says a

lot of people in my timeline believe deep seek could be confined to traditional markets they're wrong let me break it down for you so he basically talked about the impact which I just discussed on the NASDAQ and uh what deep syn actually is but talking about the implications on crypto specifically Rand says how will it actually spread to crypto the largest wealth Creator in the last 24 months has Been the tech market and AI stocks they've created trillions of dollars in paper wealth this wealth has allowed people to move higher up the risk curve and

into crypto if these stocks take a hit people will lose fortunes and this could crash all risk markets as people scramble out of risk make no mistake this could be a Black Swan it's completely unexpected in cour Everyone by surprise the magnitude is also huge so what happens next the market needs to Properly evaluate this Tech and the implications it also could be trickery by the Chinese as we know they're so good at it if it is a Black Swan it may be the reason governments are eventually forced to print money again this point is

very important because there's kind of two scenarios here either the market actually rebounds um because it realizes that it doesn't care and and it's kind of you know nothing burger and it Spooks us for a couple days and then you know We respond post fomc that's one scenario the other scenario is it's a Black Swan uh this means we get a much more severe price correction in the short to midterm but governments actually step in with stimulus to save markets and potentially the reaction to the interest rate decisions also change to avoid further capitulation in

markets and then markets really rally later because they um had obviously a huge crash and then the government comes in And intervenes and then you see well the fed intervenes and then you see a big spike afterwards which creates a big rally so I think both scenarios will lead to a rally finally enough but it just depends which one the market takes um does it take the the shortterm Bounce It kind of shrugs it off and then things continue hopefully we just have a normal you know Green February order things get a lot worse in

the short term and then we see a bigger rally later on that's a That's a good question obviously crypto is really driven by Glo Global liquidity it's really driven by um money printing uh quantitive uh easing we've already seen the market perform badly under quantitive tightening so it's going to be interesting to see how this actually plays out ran says either way I expect it to get worse before it gets better obviously the time frame here is up for question like I also think it will get worse but get worse in terms of what um

Over the next 2 days pre fomc probably does it continue to get worse after that I guess that's the question and no one knows for sure I do have a plan which I I'll discuss today uh irrespective of um how bad things get uh I've got a plan with my personal portfolio but one point that he makes here that I totally agree with is make sure you're holding quality this is a potential repricing event and is great for economies in the long term and I would agree I think it's great for Economies in the long

term in terms of its potential to actually generate uh excess liquidity money Printing and also its potential to make AI more efficient and longer term AI becoming more efficient and less con uh intensive is actually great for productivity overall so ironically longer term it could be very good for the us because it can become a much more productive economy with cheaper AI models so it's like a shortterm versus long-term trade-off Here that actually could quite you know be quite good for markets longer term so there are two discussions I want to have now uh the

first thing could this actually be good for crypto AI what are the implications and then should you be buying the dip should you be Panic selling all coins and um like what my actual Market strategy is right now so on the first question could this be a good thing for crypto AI I actually think it is um let's say the AI Market Actually does experience a sell off could we see a rotation back into crypto because a lot of crypto Capital that normally would go into web 3 so a lot of liquidity instead of going

to web 3 has gone into AI stocks and it's gone into AI risk assets because the market views that as higher upside and more disruptive if that bubble in the shorter term is popping a little bit could some of that liquidity flow into crypto I don't think it would happen straight Away I think it would take months for the market to feel comfortable going into another risk asset but it does free up a lot of liquidity if the overall AI Market diminishes a little bit could we see people actually go into an asset like Bitcoin

view viewing it a slightly more defensive and could that potentially increase sentiment for altcoins off the back of of more info to bitcoin it's kind of an interesting uh discussion to have and in terms of the Actual implications on the crypto AI sector itself as Mark points out here deep seek is actually extremely bullish for crypto AI an open source model with better performance and they did it with inferior Hardware all major crypto AI Frameworks can easily use open source models this is a very important Point I've been speaking to projects today many of these

AI agents they're already moving to to deep seek or they're integrating the model um into their Existing framework so these applications become more efficient and become better um even personally I've been experimenting uh with my developers on on how we can integrate it into the business because better models mean more efficient businesses my business other AI companies and uh they can actually utilize this because it's open source now if it was private and you know really kept under the hood uh this could actually be a bearish thing but because It's open source anyone can use

it markets I think will realize eventually that it makes crypto AI stronger due to Natural stock crypto liquidity flows were seing Corrections for crypto AI but make no mistake even us companies will take learnings from this as their code is fully open source this will accelerate the path towards AGI 100% which means AI development could actually accelerate uh but if if these companies do end up going down that path Of these lower cost uh more efficient models obviously that would infect uh impact demand for gpus so Nvidia might suffer but the overall AI landscape might

actually improve and a jazz also comments on this by saying deep seek just accelerated all timelines we were settling into the fact that this stuff was going to cost hundreds of billions to build that it was all going to be Clos sourced monopolized and then deep seek outperformed all leading models at A fraction of the cost they open sourced the tech now any AI Builder has access to the most powerful model why is no one talking about about how we'll see much better agents the fat up thesis just got more real this is also true

improved technology means better agent applications that means crypto AI agents and I actually think web 3 is the perfect framework for these agents it's going to become a lot more efficient a lot faster trading on chain is going to Be better the crypto experience is going to be better the number one reason why more people haven't been on board at the crypto with all its benefits is just that the ux hasn't been good enough the experience is too hard with better agent technology more people are going to be onboarded into crypto so longer term It's

actually an extremely bullish thing for the AI agent sector and also crypto in general because we'll see more people on board it into crypto so it really Becomes a short-term versus a long-term discussion yes there's short-term pain and even in the crypto applications which are going to benefit from this they're in pain right now in terms of price but that actually will create massive opportunity um how you buy the dip obviously will impact how you benefit from this in terms of execution but we'll discuss that in a minute longer term though I think this is

actually quite bullish for the crypto AI Space game for one points out that one of the issues with the crypto agent space in recent times has been the fact that in over a month we haven't seen many new developments um and attention drives liquidity but we could potentially see a lot of new developments now with a lot of these protocols integrating deep seek if you are a protocol by the way integrate deep seek you'll probably get a free marketing off it and um you'll probably Be able to improve your efficiency and lower your cost which

is going to create better Revenue models like actually think about it if if these companies these crypto AI companies or projects can now spend less and get more outcomes over time they're going to become more profitable these business models improve so the token should have more value longer term not less value that's a little bit of food for thought as I say here many crypto projects will benefit From the launch of new and improved models as well as the end result which is lower cost decentralized Solutions benefit from all AI Improvement and lower cost will

help crypto AI scale and of course bring in more users into web 3 and the final point I want to make here before the buy the dip segment is the best thing about investing in AI is the fact that in terms of Mind share it never goes away every time there's a new development a new application everyone's Talkinging about AI again what's happening today everyone's talking about AI the news will be talking about everyone on X is talking about it everyone on YouTube is going to be talking about AI so it's a constant there's constant

attention flow it's unlike any other sector really because it never goes away and that's why I think AI crypto as a vertical is never going away it's an attention economy and AI always remains the center Of attention which is one of the fundamental underpinnings in my belief in the AI crypto sector as well as its potential specifically agents to actually revolutionize how we interact on chain but now to go to a more fundamental question um is all of this going to justify in the short term buying the dip is this a good opportunity to buy

AI crypto alts is what do you do with other alts as well that are suffering they might not Benefit as AI coins with they suffering or um off the back of the stock market selloff one factor that I I want to point out here um is fomc now I know that the fed and Trump are supposed to be separated supposed to be an independent body but Trump has obviously come out and lobbied for lower interest rates and he's been very he actually said that Jerome was going to listen to him um I'm interested to see

if the markets keep selling off over the next Couple days which they probably will in terms of stocks right into fomc is Jerome pal going to put the you know knife in the back of trump here and tank markets even further by being super hawkish or is he going to subconsciously soften a little bit to try and protect markets that are already going to be experiencing um a little bit of negativity around what's happening with video it's an interesting question if I had to predict I think we could get a Surprise at fomc a positive

one because a lot of people are already assuming the worst and that's why we're selling such a big seeing such a big selloff and if you actually look at other fomc's the big and CPI as well the bigger sell-offs happen often before fomc so I've got this feeling that we could see a local bottom during fomc remember fear and uncertainty Drive market so what if um this is you know Peak fear in stocks that leads into tomorrow a day before FC People keep drisking right we see the capitulation getting worse as Rand said things could

get worse I also agree um but what if FC actually marks the local bottom and after that once it's out of the way we know there is a blackout period for February and then we don't have another meeting until the 19th of March so if as long as there's no crazy surprises even if he is hawkish but in line with that market expectation obviously rates don't get changed which Is the expectation from the Market um we actually see a bounce because it already der risked massively prior to the event that is something uh that's definitely

at the front of my mind uh right now and probably makes this in my opinion a decent DCA opportunity so let's get into that now I think over the next two days there are some great opportunities to scoop up certain altcoins I'm going to get into them now not every altcoin not every you know random coin that that Doesn't have a strong narrative but select a stuff and select alts with really strong catalysts I think a good DCA over the next couple of days now obviously the bearishness could extend for a few weeks and and

you could get even better opportunities that's why you don't go in it all at once but I'm taking this personally as an opportunity to start lading in over a teawap over the next couple of days and then I'm going to keep some stables for potential Uh continued capitulation so think about it this way let's say you have have $10,000 to spend right on a dip buy 5,000 I'm spending over the next 2 days on quality assets which I'll get into on a t-w so that's just a Time weighted average price DCA over a 2-day period

then I'm going to wait and see what happens with fomc and then I'm going to make my decision on the next 50% later of that 10,000 and obviously you know that 10,000 might be from my $50,000 worth of stables in this example so if I'm 32% Stables right now you know I might go down to 25% % but I'm not trying to go to 0% and that is true by the way I'm sitting around actually 36 now cuz my ALS went down and then um my relative stable balance was 32 now it's 36 but I

might go down to 27 in two parts maybe even 25 half of it over the next two days and then half of it depending on if things get a lot worse cuz I do want to Keep some Stables if like what Ran's saying is true and we get continued capitulation and Nvidia just sells off more and more then I do want some buy powder to be able to scoop things in um at much lower prices but at the same time pref fomc sell-offs often do equal uh Max fear and that is being combined with a

lot of fear in the macro market right now with what's happening with the video and deep seek so for me that's a buy the dip opportunity and if you guys Have been watching the shows you'll know the last time I I majorly bought the dip was in December during that major December selloff since then and if you've been in my Discord and and watch the you know stream in Paradise on Friday you'll know that I'm not adding significantly to new positions I might trade something here and there I might you know rebalance things so buy

something sell something else but my Stables have been around 30 to 35% uh Since that December dip which I actually bought and then on the bounce I you know took some more Stables off the table and uh topped up my dry powder balance but I haven't made a big purchase in a month that changes today because I am a real proponent of buying fear in the market you don't always time the bottom but generally speaking and this markets do the opposite so right now you're probably thinking oh I want to D RIS things are going

to get worse my brain Does the opposite I want to drisk when things are pumping so if there are positions I want to exit I I'll sell them on a pump but I actually am interested in being opportunistic and when there's fear that's what I want to be buying but the market seems to get this Twisted it it it people want to do the exact opposite they want to sell when things are bad and they want to buy when things are good and a lot of you might be freaking out right now but this Is

actually the opportunity to buy and I'm not saying this is the peako bottom but these periods of fear are the periods to be averaging into the market and then when things are really euphoric that's when you should be taking profits and selling not the other way around but for some reason retail most people get this the other way around and that's why most people don't make money in crypto because they they don't buy fear and sell pumps they buy pumps and they sell Fear which makes no sense and uh I'm going to answer a question

now based off the back of that like Mars is it too late to Dr risk now on a lot of coins yeah like invalidations should be based on technical parameters so if a coin is breaking down from a high time frame level I'm looking bit tense now if it breaks down this level right and you get a bearish retest that is your invalidation you don't want to be selling into a major support um if it Was here right now like oh should i d risk here it's like well your drisk window was back here on

the initial breakdown so I think it just highlights a very key point which I want to drill into your heads that whenever you buy a coin you should always have a technical invalidation as as well as a fundament uh fundamental invalidation so I don't think it's good enough in this environment which is really choppy just to hold a bunch of alts with no Invalidation on any of them um you should always have invalidation at least partial meaning like okay I like this altcoin so I'm always going to hold half but half of it I'm willing

to cut if it breaks down this level because for me that's a technical sign of weakness and then you probably would have saved yourself a few days ago as a lot of stuff started breaking structure uh from actually having no stables and now you would have money to buy the dip now I Know you might say oh m is obvious in hindsight I've been talking about this for a long time but this will also apply in the future this is likely going to happen again and again and again and again and again so next time

just remember this I don't think the altcoin cycle is over it's become more difficult that's 100% for sure but we are still going to see rallies at some point so next time actually take profits on those rallies and when things breakdown have Invalidations um for those breakdowns now into the buy the dip list um once again as I said I'm doing half over the next couple of days and then I'm waiting for the other half based on what does play out with fomc um if I don't get that other half in I don't necessarily care

but I do want protection against even more downside which is why I won't go all in with my desired amount of stables now U but this is basically my list that I Created I posted this in the Discord this morning that's where I post all this stuff uh first but I but this is my accumulation list um salana Jupiter pepea link hype these are my like safer plays now obviously the eth betas like Pepe and Ena went down a lot today but coins like link hype Soul I'll get into Jupiter in a second and why

I think it's a really good DCA these are assets that I think are going to come back as ran said quality assets or what you should Be focusing on now I 100% agree these are all quality assets in my opinion you can make the argument against Pepe but I still want one Meme and that's why I put it in this safer play portfolio I still think as as an ethereum um beta play when eth comes back Pepe as the leading meme will do well but I understand if you don't want to DC into it today

I'm not either but um it is on that list for a reason then the AI stuff I think represents some really interesting Opportunity because ironically it's the sector even though it's drawing down a lot that benefits the most from all of this like virtuals business model doesn't get weaker with uh better models coming out it it gets better they can create better agents like it only improves they make more these applications make more money Anon for example it does better it's an abstraction layer to power AI agents if AI agents are better more people will

Use them and the network will get more usage so it's actually better LMT I don't know if you guys know as a product it's basically an agent that sits on your desktop with improved models that gets better it's going to have more functionality it's going to be faster um all these things actually get better mode as well they are a pick a shovel player so they basically have AI agents that are launching on their platform the more agents get better the cheaper they Become the more people utilize them because they're cheaper and there are just

better models available now um the more agents that are actually going to be transacted with so it's longer term a big beneficiary and that's why in terms of a sector that I'm DCA into AI is still one that I would have the heaviest on my DCA list now personally I would start with the major so I'm just going to talk about now what I'm personally doing let me give you a caveat though There are some assets I don't need to accumulate right now which are on my buy the dip list I really like obviously you

guys know some of the rwa coins chintai we're even seeing Ono and om draw down like there there are assets which I like there but I feel like I have enough exposure to rwa so I'm going to talk about now the assets that I'm underexposed to that I'm adding but of course there are coins which I'm bullish on but I I just don't feel like I need To add anymore I'm using this as an opportunity to buy stuff to fix the waiting of my portfolio so virtuals for example I never got an entry on virtuals

during the last run this is the first time I'm getting a high time frame entry so now I can actually take a virtuals position and feel confident I'm buying it at a bill instead of seven Bill how how much better is that in terms of FTV actually it's a little higher it's a couple bill in terms of FTV but I'm Getting in at a what versus the peak a 65% draw down and they just deployed on salana so arguably um as a business model they've become stronger now obviously you know less people are deploying agents

so they're making less money and that's priced in but uh longer term I think launching on soul is is a good move from virtual so I'm adding this for the first time and I have invalidation so what I like about this is a play and it's the same for a couple Others I'm going to speak about like tow it's got a clear inv validation so if I'm wrong here I've actually got a level where I can actually drisk um but for me that'll be partial inval so I'll keep some longer term and then I'll keep

some that I'm willing to you know invalidate if it keeps going down but for me these are t- so tokens I'm averaging into the other one that I'm absolutely averaging into that I missed and I'm so happy I'm getting a dip on his Jupiter Because they announced uh I think yesterday that they're going to be putting 50% of protocol fees back into BuyBacks right now look at when it was announced here look at what happened when it was announced it went up 38% but it's crashed back down to pre-announcement why because they announced on the

worst day ever Jupiter team obviously you didn't know this whole deep seek thing was going to happen but um you you picked a terrible Day to have your most bullish announcement ever in a bull market if Bitcoin went not from 105 to 100 but from 105 to 110 this is trading at $2 right now instead it's at 97 so for me it's a great opportunity to accumulate because I don't have much exposure to Jupiter but now I can get exposure and if the market if the market runs and recovers this is recovering one of the

fastest in my opinion so as a dip byy I'm also looking for assets not that We'll just recover but stuff that recovers the fastest um Anon as well is one of the only tokens that's actually green today Toshi as well so you even see just looking through your trading view like what tokens are green like I think Anon will bounce quite strongly because it's already showing um that uh it has a lot of bias stepping into bid couple other alss are also showing that which we'll discuss um but yeah I think Jupiter here is a

good play and is one That I'm dcing into so virtual jupyter there're two that I'm adding another one's to because it is at the bottom of the money noodle as well as a key horizontal level I like towers of play longer term this is a lower burn it's less upside but I wanted to add more to and I think to will come back at some point and on is another one uh that that I'm adding I am increasing my position actually um in this one now from a technical perspective it's not as good As virtual

and Jupiter because we are seeing um price push back up here so could it get rejected here and then end up going lower potentially I think the response has actually been quite good um seeing a lot of buyers step in a lot of other token look like this right now we are seeing signs of a reversal so if you really want to play the technicals you could wait for a flip a retest a higher low and then um potentially A Range High retest again if you're playing the Technicals for me this is just a longer

term DCA so always decide before you buy a coin is this a long-term DCA am I happy to be underwater if that's the answer then go ahead DCA if you if you're not happy for that and you need it to be a trade then treat it like a trade and go off the technicals totally depends on how you want to approach it but uh it's got the M McDonald's pattern um the uh I mean the chart doesn't look great but uh fundamentally it's a huge Beneficiary of uh lower cost model so that's one and you

can look at other AI stuff as well like LMT fundamentally um this this is a really strong product now this is still a few months away as a product but I like this and it is down massively off highs Could It Go lower yeah it could go I originally C it at 75 60 to 75 could it go back down there of course especially if the scenario that I discussed happens where um FC is not great and then the market continues to Falter but if you want a DCA now is an opportunity now I'm not

personally dcing this one cuz I have enough exposure already I bought pretty heavy twice but if you don't have exposure this is an opportunity to potentially gain exposure to it look this is a full list that I'm looking at right now but of course there are others like fcoin for example I'm not buying yet but this is one that if you didn't have exposure to I think it'll come back at some point um and Obviously you know rwa assets if you didn't have exposure now you can consider getting exposure this is a chance for you

to add stuff that you missed and you're now getting in a discounts like you probably wanted to fomo into virtual a month ago you probably wanted to fomo into Jupiter yesterday you probably wanted to fomo into a non when it was $24 you probably wanted to fomo into a lot of these coins right now you're getting chances to buy Them lower nothing's fundamentally changed on a lot of them uh obviously it's just the broader Market which is taking a hit it's a good reminder that having technical invalidations during times like this can save you um

so if you are interested in those resources we have a lot of them in the Discord in paradise's resource section he has all of these things entry triggers exit triggers risk management trade management how to set stop losses Leverage and liquidations these are either videos or documents that he's created and we're even aggregating all of this into a brand new custom course uh it's we're going to be rolling out the first modules tomorrow where Paradise goes through accumulation uptrends distribution downtrends using leverage scanning Trad strength how to use the money noodle all that stuff and

if you can combine those technicals with fundamentals I'll give you the Fundamentals in the show you get the technicals in the Discord and on the show when Paradise comes on I mean that's a a killer recipe for success I think this period of the market you need to be paying a lot more attention to price action than during other periods of the market that's for sure so um if you're already in the M high club you'll get access to this tomorrow if not you still have time to join using the link in the description you

will get access To all of this I honestly think it's worth it's worth the admission fee to make sure you don't get wrecked because the cost of getting wrecked by bag holding stuff can be thousands tens of thousands hundreds of thousands depending on how much you're investing versus I mean what the Discord actually costs I mean I think it's a no-brainer um but uh yeah those resources will be there for for everyone that is in the group um and just to finalize my Thoughts here as I said I'm dcing into quality assets I am kind

of doing a 50-50 approach teaw up over the next couple of days because I think it's a good opportunity and then saving some stables for in case things get worse because you never know how the Market's going to react it's pretty unprecedented times right now um I mean the whole AI Market has never happened before there's not much history we can go off I am personally not freaking out I know some Of you might be panicking seeing your portfolio go down it's not great I mean I looked at my portfolio this morning a lot of

my longer term holds are down it sucks but it's just part of the market the market is reflexive to both sides especially if you're holding IL liquid alt coins like IL liquidity means that when the market goes down you get hurt a lot more but when the market goes up you make a lot more so if you're in liquid alts like you got to accept that that's Part of the game that that reflective upside is also equally as reflective to the downside so I guess one of the reasons I'm not panicking today is because um

I've accepted with all my more liquid alts that is a possibility and uh even with the safer alts that are more liquid that I hold like you know salana um Ena link hype that are down uh these are assets that I still think come back they're quality assets I have a lot of conviction in them so I actually Think this could be a good opportunity to DCA I'm pretty happy with the size of my hey bag um and my link bag but if you don't own those assets and you want to add them now they're

they're getting big discounts where it could be an opportunity to accumulate so don't panic if you do need step away from the computer today uh take a break I know a lot of my you know Trader friends are just take a break today they've set their limit orders on alt so they'll get Their orders filled on their exchanges and they're going away they're chilling for the day they're going to come back tomorrow the day after if you're really emotional and the Market's affecting you right now honestly that's the best thing to do even myself this

afternoon obviously I'm in the Discord and I made this video and I've been tweeting but I'm going to probably step away for a little bit tonight just you know reset evaluate things because volatile markets Don't really lead to great investment decisions uh I've set my t-w orders so they're automatically executing I've set my limit orders in case things get worse and I get a chance to bid some high time frame levels on certain alts and then I'm probably going to chill for the rest of the day after that so hopefully you did enjoy this video

and it gave you a bit more context as to what's happening obviously I'll be here tomorrow and the day after because things are going to Probably continue to be crazy with fomc and as the market starts to digest some of this stuff so I'll see you later uh hopefully you have a nice rest of your day I know it's not an easy day in the market but um just put your helmet on this is we're at War during days like this and either you uh face it and you benefit from it or you falter and

uh I don't like faltering on days like this cuz I know it's where opportunity is created in the market so I'll see you in The next one see you later peace out
