the crypto markets have digested a really really bad taco from a taco stand and right now we are seeing the repercussions so what do I mean it means that the FED just cut rates but they said that they're not going to cut as many times next year so that is why the crypto Market has completely nuked or it feels that way anyway again it's like going to a taco truck on the side of the road getting a taco and then having indigestion so will this last a long time are we done is it now up
from here I'm going to touch on that including what I am doing what coins I am buying and all that kind of stuff looking at charts sharing everything that I'm looking at right now so before I go through all the charts and all the good stuff I want to give you a high level perspective here this is the vix essentially the volatility index for the stock market it had this massive peak in August 5th of this year what happened to bitcoin August 5th well it nuked down to around $54,000 where just around a week before
it was 6 8 and today we saw a massive spike in the vix look at that it's the biggest Spike we saw since August 5th so if you bought Bitcoin on August 5th during that Peak instability volatility moment you would have bought Bitcoin at around $54,000 and Bitcoin was just $108,000 so that was an amazing time to buy Bitcoin when everybody was panicking and guess what everybody is panicking right now now today has been a crazy day but if you had purchased things earlier in the day a lot of those coins have gone up since
the bottom of the market today so looking at this a lot of coins are still down quite a bit but even over the last hour coins are going up and a quick plug for my private community on Discord and through patreon I came out with a couple videos earlier today before I could make this full video just about what was happening what I was looking at how I was approaching this was I buying was I panicking Etc so if you want more up-to-date access with my information and everything that I'm seeing with my 11 years
being in this crypto space which is a really long time you can go ahead and use the link below after this video to sign up so a couple charts I want to look at bitcoin's risk level the historical risk chart also Bitcoin year-to-date Roi and then I also want to go through a couple charts here on trading view which make a lot of sense about what happened yesterday so starting out taking a look at bitcoin's risk level and if you like these charts you can access them below with a 10% discount link these are from
Benjamin Cowen another awesome YouTuber who has this amazing website with some of the best freaking charts in the space you can use my link below if you want to get access to these anyway so bitcoin's risk level is around a 0.6 and back in March we saw it much higher you can see red means higher 0.7 or so and last time we saw a big cluster of a ton of high risk for Bitcoin was going to be January of 2021 which would correlate to January of next year so as of right now things are not
looking super super risky here taking a look at this chart this is the overall risk summary which is taking into account a ton of different metrics which is really cool so we are still pretty low again the last time it went above a08 was going to be February of 2021 when the price of Bitcoin was $55,000 and that would have been a great time to literally exit the market or take a large amount of your crypto out of the market but it's not to say we still can't have a pullback right because we saw the
risk level back in March at around a 0.5 kind of where we are right now and March the price of Bitcoin went from 71,000 all the way down to 58 a lot of you guys remember that that was this year so we could still see a pretty big pullback and that really wouldn't bother me and here's why so January 4th of 2021 this would correlate to next year so literally 2 weeks from now or so the price of Bitcoin was $31,000 in a week it went up to $4,000 which is a huge move then at
the end of January the price was back down to $30,000 so that would essentially be like if we started next year at $100,000 Bitcoin the price went up to $130,000 in a week and then by the end of January it went back down to $100,000 so you'd see a ton of volatility in altcoins if Bitcoin were to go up 30% and then down 30% within a matter of a few weeks so this type of volatility is normal and we only saw Bitcoin go down like 5% today so imagine if Bitcoin went down 30% in the
course of a week my gosh we can see allcoins maybe go down 40 50 60% it could be that crazy so if today really freaked you out and if you're having stomach problems you should probably either do one of two things one you're overallocated to crypto you have too much crypto and you need to sell you need to get out of the crypto Market If today was just too much because I think we're going to see more of this or two you need to only have less projects and coins but coins that you actually really
really believe in and understand so that's why I don't suggest that anybody new have over 20 coins or 30 coins or listening to every single YouTuber yell at you to tell you to buy their port folio I think that's just too many coins because you can't keep track of that many coins and again If today was a lot for you then you need to just realize that this will happen in the future and how can I prepare for this moving forward because the good news is that bitcoin's year-to-date Ri so how well is Bitcoin done
this year is right in the middle of what it did in 2020 and 2016 so Bitcoin is so far in this metric modeling what it did in the previous two having years which would lead to 2017 and 2021 which like I've talked about in previous videos were unbelievably amazing years for altcoins but even with those amazing years for altcoins we still saw insane volatility so again if today made you want to throw up you have to decide what you want to do about that you either have to sell your coins or learn how to sit
on your hands or buy more when there's a dip you have to do something because I don't want you guys to get sick from future volatility and by the way there could be World War I or the drones over New Jersey could find something in the water that could do something crazy with the world right anything can happen there's no guarantee that next year is going to be incredible but minus some insane event that nobody can predict like a global recession or depression or UFOs or a global war it looks like from the charts I've
showed that next year is probably or most likely going to repeat what happened in 2017 and 2021 so these are a couple charts that make sense of what happened yesterday I keep saying today but it's going to be Yesterday by the time you watch this video this is the crypto total market cap excluding the top 10 so looking at small and medium cap coins and this is going to be the candle for yesterday right here essentially showing that money Capital left small and medium cap altcoins again those not in the top 10 and they went
into Bitcoin and also stable coins which I'll show in just a second and this is the same chart but showing the market cap just excluding Bitcoin and ethereum so all this means is that coins are flowing into Bitcoin into stable coins and possibly into ethereum because right now ethereum is still less risky than a tiny tiny altcoin because when there is financial news like what happened yesterday the market has to or the market usually moves into safer assets so the safest being the S&P 500 which still went down like 3% which is a ton for
a daily move for the S&P index but then for crypto Bitcoin is the safest crypto even though Bitcoin is still very volatile Bitcoin is the safest and then ethereum other big layer ones are going to be safer and then moving into the smaller cap coins they're going to be the most volatile and this is the lovely Bitcoin dominance chart which has been going up over the last couple days and this candle right here shows what happened yesterday so all this shows is that the percentage of the crypto market cap that is in Bitcoin went up
because again Bitcoin is safer but like I've showed in many previous videos this is the end of December basically where we are now around December 18th 19th all the way to January 2nd and Bitcoin dominance went up a ton until the beginning of January so I'm not surprised that Bitcoin dominance is going up because this is tracking what happened 4 years ago and these final two charts show USD C dominance and usdt dominance and these green candles are showing that a lot of money or a lot of capital was flowing out of altcoins even out
of Bitcoin really and into stable coins because a lot of people want to keep their money in crypto but when things get scary they want to or they decide to sell altcoins of course and some people even sell Bitcoin so again it makes sense that stable coins would absorb some of that selling so a lot of people in my private community and also just like my friends are asking me what are you buying today what should I buy and yeah you could be looking at the Fibonacci retracement levels or the RSI those are great indicators
to use but days like today where the market just overall nukes from Bad News it really doesn't matter much what you buy I suggest or what I did is I bought coins that I already had positions in that I wanted to buy more of or I bought coins that I'm like you know what this is a really cheap price it's literally 10 to 15 some coins earlier today or yesterday were 20% down for the day and I'm like this is a great deal if I think that the market is going to come back up these
are going to be great prices to buy now how quickly does the market rebound from news like this it really depends it goes back to my analogy of digesting Mexican Food Truck tacos from unknown sources with you know whatever uh you just never know how quickly you're going to process those and digest those tacos so there could be more bad news that comes maybe from Japan or maybe from again UFOs I don't know there's all sorts of things that can happen ultimately though we are just buying good projects on sale and if the market repeats
what happened in 2021 next year in 2025 even a little bit repeats even 50% repeats altcoins are going to do really really well so that's what I'm looking at that's how I'm approaching this at these levels it really doesn't matter what you buy just buy good projects and buy things that you think are going to be here for a while so before I go a lot of you guys have asked me how do I get some bonuses on exchanges because signing up with coinbase I think you get like $50 and some people are like that's
not a lot of money well btcc is offering a 10% bonus on firsttime deposits only and a maximum bonus of $10,000 on a $100,000 deposit there is no VPN and no kyc necessary which is insane and if you like to mess around with fire and play with leverage don't recommend that unless you already do that and you like to do that you can do so here so if you want to get those deposit bonuses I will leave the link to btcc below where you can sign up and start trading so that's it for the video
guys I hope you are doing well and I hope you look at days like today as sales and not as days to freak out and panic because like I showed at the beginning of the video the last time the vix spiked really really high was in retrospect an amazing day to buy Bitcoin so I'll leave it at that guys hope you're well till next time talk with you soon and bye for now
