Matt opens by cutting through the noise. Bitcoin is still sitting in the $70K range, Ethereum around $2,100, and the total market cap hovering near $2.4 trillion. In his view, the market itself hasn’t meaningfully changed, despite the constant swings in sentiment between fear and hype. What has changed is the underlying behavior around the space — and that’s where the real story is.He highlights a major security failure involving a fake Ledger app on Apple’s App Store, where a user lost roughly $500,000 after entering their seed phrase into a malicious interface. Matt is blunt: this should not happen, and platforms like Apple should bear responsibility if fraudulent financial apps pass their review systems. For him, this is a core reminder of the risks still present in crypto — not in price action, but in user behavior and infrastructure failures.From there, he shifts into what he sees as a much bigger issue: World Liberty Financial. The project, tied to President Trump’s family, is raising serious red flags. Matt walks through the mechanics — locked investor tokens, governance controlled by a handful of wallets, treasury buybacks at a loss, undisclosed conflicts, and frozen holdings — painting a picture of a system where retail participants are stuck while insiders benefit. His takeaway is clear: this is exactly the kind of structure that demands scrutiny, not blind participation.That leads directly into his skepticism around the push for the Clarity Act. With Treasury officials urging Congress to move quickly on crypto regulation, Matt questions whether the timing is coincidental or connected to projects like World Liberty Financial. He doesn’t claim definitive proof, but he makes it clear he sees a pattern worth paying attention to.Beyond that, the market remains mixed. Altcoins are still capable of explosive speculative runs, institutional flows are uneven but supportive at times, and macro pressures — like oil surging past $100 — continue to influence crypto as a risk asset. But again, Matt’s core message doesn’t change: the price is stable, the structure is not.He closes by pointing listeners toward deeper research — specifically the Ledger app incident and commentary around World Liberty Financial — urging critical thinking over passive consumption. The numbers may look the same, but the behavior behind them is shifting, and that’s where the real signal is. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Bitcoin trades flat near $72K with low volatility as markets await today's CPI inflation print, which could shape Fed expectations and trigger a breakout after three failed attempts above $73K since the ceasefire; altcoins like ETH, SOL, and DOGE slid while XRP tested higher levels. Bittensor drama from a key developer exit added sector-specific pressure. Regulatory updates included Treasury's dual-tier stablecoin rules and ongoing SEC proposals under review. Strong recent Bitcoin ETF inflows and Strategy's continued buying provided support amid institutional resilience—focus remains on CPI reaction, geopolitical truce durability, and potential volatility expansion.

Bitcoin holds near $71K after a ceasefire-fueled surge to $72,800, but the truce showed early signs of fraying within 48 hours, keeping volatility high as oil rebounds and analysts clash on whether a breakout to $80K or deeper correction looms.

Regulatory moves included U.S. Treasury demands for stablecoin AML compliance and South Korea’s bank-style stablecoin rules. Iran’s proposed Bitcoin tanker tolls added a geopolitical crypto twist—markets cautious but supported by institutional flows and dip-buying demand. Hosted on Acast.

Regulatory progress continued with SEC reflections on enforcement and new stablecoin rules from the FDIC, alongside institutional developments like Morgan Stanley’s low-fee Bitcoin ETF launch.

Craig’s view hasn’t changed, but the macro backdrop is starting to catch up to it. With rising geopolitical tension tied to President Trump’s latest deadlines and threats, alongside crude oil ripping higher, he’s expecting a highly volatile stretch across global markets. And in his framework, that matters directly for crypto. Bitcoin is still behaving like a liquidity-driven risk asset, not a hedge. If macro pressure builds, crypto likely moves lower with it. From a structural standpoint, nothing has improved. Bitcoin remains in a clear weekly downtrend, printing lower highs and lower lows, and one green week doesn’t change that. Craig is still sitting in cash, actively hoping for lower prices so he can re-enter at better levels. The only thing that would shift his outlook is a clean break above roughly $76K, which would begin to challenge the current bearish structure. Until then, this is still a market leaning down.Across the board, the message is the same. Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and most of the top ten are either trending lower or stuck in weak consolidation. A few outliers like Tron and Hyperliquid are holding up better, but they are exceptions, not the rule. In fact, Craig is seeing setups that point to potentially sharp downside moves, especially in charts that have already broken key levels and are setting up for continuation lower.His approach reflects that environment. This isn’t a market for overtrading or chasing noise. It’s about waiting for high-quality setups, managing risk tightly, and taking advantage of clean trends when they appear. In bear conditions, opportunities still exist, but they are fewer, faster, and require discipline. The macro pressure is building, the charts are still weak, and until structure shifts, Craig’s bias remains firmly to the downside. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Craig’s not getting sucked in by a single green candle. Yeah, Bitcoin finally put in a strong week, up over 10%, but to him, that’s just one candle. That’s not a trend. And more importantly, it’s happening right into a level that already matters — old resistance turned support, now acting as resistance again. That same level also lines up with where the monthly trend broke. So this isn’t strength. This is a test.Check out Craig's trading course at: https://www.thegrowmeco.comFrom his perspective, nothing structurally has changed. The monthly trend is gone, and the highest timeframe he can rely on right now is the weekly — and that’s still a downtrend. Lower high, lower low. That’s the only thing that matters. Until that changes, he’s not interested in chasing upside.Could Bitcoin push higher from here? Sure. He even says $82K or higher isn’t out of the question. But that doesn’t mean he’s buying. In his system, rallies into resistance inside a downtrend are not opportunities to get long — they’re setups for pullbacks. And that’s exactly how he’s treating this move.Right now, Bitcoin is sitting in what he calls the “cradle zone,” where he’s built his trading career. This is where decisions get made. Either price breaks through with real momentum, or it rolls over and continues the downtrend. And until one of those happens cleanly, he’s waiting.Short-term, he’s only seeing real opportunity on lower timeframes — quick, high-liquidity trades where you can get in and out fast. The bigger picture still isn’t clean enough to commit capital in a meaningful way. It either needs to break higher and prove it, or sell off hard and create a real opportunity.Until then, nothing has changed. One green week doesn’t fix a broken structure.Happy HODLing Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
