The Crypto Flash Crash | What Happens NEXT
FULL TRANSCRIPT
why did crypto just get reamed and when
will the pain end when will crypto go
back to a euphoric rally that is what we
identify and address in this video so
mark your calendar because it's a big
deal and it's coupon expiration day
today congratulations man you have done
so much people love you people look up
to you Kevin path right there financial
analyst and YouTuber meet Kevin always
great to get your take Bitcoin just had
a substantial crash it crashed over 11
before slightly recovering we had
massive Liquidations in just the last 24
hours we are over 1 billion US dollars
worth of bitcoin and ethereum liquidated
over 177
000 Traders liquidated at least with
some portion of their portfolio this is
the first time we actually have seen
Bitcoin under 26 000 in two months
now fortunately once we broke under 26
000 we did end up getting some immediate
buying pressure but questions are now
Rising as to why this sell-off occurred
in this video we're going to break down
at least four different reasons and then
we'll look into some ta and what may
come next the first and most popular
reason that people give which may not
actually be the best reason I personally
don't think it is either
has to do with SpaceX let's cover what
the Wall Street Journal just covered
regarding SpaceX and it'll give us some
insight and to keep it short for you I
wrote it out we do have a coupon
expiration today for the stock course
real estate course the wealth course
with AI the financial advice section
which is a new website at stackhack.com
and we might have it a b that if you
want to invest in house hack it's going
to be for course members only that's at
least tentatively what we're planning so
stay tuned for that they'll certainly be
part of the first round unsure if there
will be a second round so consider
joining one of the courses linked down
below remember you get lifetime access
to the course member live streams the
new content we release and more all
right folks what do we got here so talk
about spacex's financials is all the
rage because of the mention of crypto
first worth noting in the last three
months based on potentially final or
maybe preliminary numbers Wall Street
Journal isn't really sure maybe space X
actually made about 55 million dollars
of profit on 1.5 billion dollars in
Revenue in just the first quarter which
it's actually kind of neat that the
company that is worth about 150 billion
dollars is potentially trending towards
profitability especially since the
revenue has doubled but their expenses
have also been increasing rapidly the
revenue just eeked out a slightly better
gain the problem though came really at
the end of this article and it's right
here the documents these financial
documents also show that SpaceX wrote
down notice this doesn't say sell it
says wrote down wrote down the value of
the Bitcoin it owns by a total of 373
Million last year and in 2021 they had
sold some of the cryptocurrency Tesla
has taken a similar approach with its
Bitcoin Holdings and obviously we know
that Elon Musk talks a lot about crypto
online now it's worth noting that yes
Tesla did sell they bought a lot of
their crypto still right around thirty
six thousand sold about 75 percent of it
back in Q2 of 2022 but we don't know
that SpaceX actually sold however right
when this article came out and news of
this potential write down of crypto
started circulating which could be an
accounting way of just recognizing a
loss individuals started selling crypto
maybe it was individuals or institutions
or algorithms or whatever it was this
was the selldown we got it was pretty
clear and pretty rapid now there was
other news though that happened at the
same time which I think has more bearing
on also the potential future price of
Bitcoin let's understand that at the
same time as the news came out on SpaceX
we heard that evergrant has finally
declared a chapter 15 bankruptcy chapter
15 is a bankruptcy for a foreign entity
going bankrupt and it is a petition that
you file in the United States four
assets exposed to well basically people
and assets in the United States there's
about 19 billion dollars of
restructuring required for evergrants
offshore debts would be one of the
largest chapter 15 restructurings ever
and what's important here is that we
already know evergrand is a defunct
company they have been for the last two
years so this is really more of a
formality at 40 percent of property
developers in China have already
defaulted or missed a payment so this
isn't really a massive surprise but when
you combine this chapter 15 filing with
news that maybe SpaceX is writing down
its crypto institutions or potentially
algorithms or individuals started
considering their exposure to bitcoin as
maybe a risk asset now a lot of people
are going to look at that as a buy the
dip opportunity but you have to consider
this even though crypto is banned in
China the people of China tend to use
crypto to hedge against the devaluing of
their currency that you won and minby is
the currency system what's Wild here is
that ordinarily you would see and expect
more buying of crypto during a Yuan
weakening cycle but that's not what
historically happens the last time the
Yuan was devalued substantially in 2015.
Bitcoin fell by more than 23 percent
so that could happen again in other
words stress in China could lead to pain
for all risk assets consider that the
Hong Kong stock market just fell into
bear Market or a bear Market territory
again basically falling straight since
January and finally entering a bear
Market again that is we had hope that
China would recover strongly we had some
Revenge spending in January and
everything was going great in fact
people in America thought China was
going to cause inflation for the world
again but what ended up actually
happening was that spending didn't last
in China and now China is probably in a
deep dark recession but that's more for
a different video in the depths of the
Chinese problems what's worth noting
though is that Chinese individuals could
if they wanted to limit their risk and
get away from something maybe as
volatile presently as Bitcoin they could
buy U.S dollars now a lot of people know
this and this is the smart thing you
should be thinking of is wait but what
about Capital controls true there's a
limit of 50 000 US dollars that you can
buy per year in China that doesn't
affect though 99 of Chinese potentially
even 99.9 of Chinese 50 000 USD is a lot
of money every year that you can buy
especially if you're buying those
dollars in China you're not buying them
to to spend them right it's not like
you're taking all your money to spend it
it's like a savings account almost
Chinese do this we don't know how many
do this obviously these numbers don't
get published but there is a belief that
when China's economy goes to crap people
do whatever they can to hedge and they
hedge with the strongest
least volatile currency that presently
exists and I hate to say it that's the
US dollar and I I recognize that in a
crypto video the last thing we want to
say is say that Fiat especially the
dollar is some kind of Safe Haven but
that's at least the way it's seen right
now especially in China certainly less
volatile than crypto at least at this
point hopefully not for the long term uh
and it is a hedge away from that
devalued Yuan remember China is going to
have to stimulate to prevent their
economy from going into a depression a
deflationary depression but the more
they stimulate the more they weaken
their currency unless they can get
productivity growth up but China's
basically destroyed productivity in
capitalism because they don't know how
to run well a country anyway again
that's a topic for a different video
point being if you're someone in China
you might be thinking okay do I want
exposure to risk assets right now when
we're going into a Chinese these bear
Market potentially Global bear Market or
recession or do I move to US Dollars
where if we're going into a recession
maybe the dollar is the strongest of all
of the weakest stuff especially since
gold hasn't been too useful and it's a
little harder to get your hands on
anyway okay there is some other news
though okay so number one SpaceX number
two evergram we did get some plus and
minus news with the SEC we heard on the
plus side that the SEC is probably not
going to reject an ethereum Futures ETF
keep in mind Futures are contracts
they're not actually coins however the
SEC is planning to delay any kind of
Bitcoin spot ETF response until at least
2024. a convenient election year now
another thing to consider is of course
is Bitcoin just being a market follower
rather than a trendsetter and it is
possible that the signaling of Hong Kong
going into a bear market and the SpaceX
write down is just another way of
reminding individuals and investors and
institutions of the macro pain of Jerome
Powell's hire for longer regime that's
very likely it's very likely that macro
in terms of higher for longer rates put
pressure on risk assets and
unfortunately Jerome Powell's potential
overdoing it could end up hurting all
risk assets stocks and of course crypto
now expectations are still starting to
gear up that we might be looking at a
rate hike in November what we really
need is that to get unpriced to really
start expecting a new bull market cycle
so if we start unpricing more Fed rate
hikes and we go to Fed is done or pause
then yields can fall all and we could
actually expect the FED not to Joint our
chain again okay now when we jump over
to the technical analysis aside from one
more time taking a chance to remind you
about that expiring code tonight email
us at staff meet kevin.com if you've got
bundle requests a lot of people bundle
requesting by the way from the courses
to financial advice keep in mind the
courses or perspectives on building your
wealth really really good for you to
study and understand and the financial
advice is us actually looking at your
portfolio also very important but
different take a look at those linked
down below what do we know well we know
that we've had these downtrends before
the last downtrend we had was obviously
between the banking crisis where we
actually saw a rally during the banking
crisis and the following of the banking
crisis which led to this downtrend
turning into a nice rock it up
unfortunately this current downtrend and
that's the problem with breakouts is
unless we have a convergence up or down
we don't exactly know which way that
breakout is going to go we just had a
breakout to the downside one thing that
I noticed from a TA point of view is
that we did just break this longer term
Trend that has been occurring since
about Christmas time this is roughly
that same Trend that we see on the
NASDAQ and if we jump on over to the
NASDAQ we go out to the day chart we're
going to see that longer term Trend
we're actually Falling Towards that
longer term Trend so it's very likely
that we're going to be at that 348 on
the NASDAQ again that's our longer term
Trend my belief is that there's a good
chance we're going to fall towards this
longer term Trend we'll get our Jackson
Hole Summit and we should actually see a
recovery to this longer term trend line
back to about 28 000 that FIB level at
28 000. I think we're going to Trend
back to this now keep in mind you've
also got the company selling off a like
Riot or Marathon some pretty large
sell-offs here you can see we got reject
did uh we didn't really get super close
but we did get rejected by roughly that
2180 line which was pretty important
previously and then if we go on over to
HUD 8 another one a lot of folks are
looking at we can see that rejection
again over here not as much respect for
that three three seven line as we've
seen uh in in you know years past but
also quite a bit of a correction here so
what does this mean for the future well
I think that we got a little bit more
bad to go at least on those Tech indices
got to get through Jackson Hole if we
can get some kind of positive talk that
macro is going to be less bad you still
have the weight of China pushing down
the crypto Market especially as Chinese
potentially favor I know it sounds crazy
but USD over the riskier assets at the
moment just as a safe haven as they get
through their recession
we should be seeing some sort of
recovery though once we get some more
confidence from j-pal now
are we going to get Confidence from
j-pal well that's the big you know 20
question here maybe 20 trillion dollar
question here I get comments every
single day about people that are like
what do you mean Kevin inflation is
solved have you seen how expensive
everything is I've never said prices
have returned to the levels where they
were before covid and quite frankly a
they don't have to and B they probably
won't but as inflation that is the rate
of price growth slows to basically flat
Jerome Powell and the FED should declare
Victory on inflation that is continuing
prices going up as long as that stops
we're slow substantially we need them to
declare Victory so they could stop
raising rates and actually start
reducing rates that's really important
for the crypto market so you need all of
these things to clear out and then you
could really get a bull market so think
about this rate cuts
SEC
ETF spot approvals China solving all of
their issues you get these things out of
the way and that's when you're really
going to start opening up a potential
for a euphoric crypto rally but you need
all this mess to get through first so if
you're wondering is it time to buy the
dip I don't know there's potentially
more pain ahead but once we get through
those things and if you can see the
light at the end of the tunnel
could always be a good time especially
since once those things are cleared
that's when we're expecting real
Euphoria could enter markets again
