@TXWestCapital I was number 2 till I joined Texas west, and am quickly transitioning to number 1. Move one- admit and drop bad habits, move two- refine your skills with some quality help. Boom 💥

I've got a question for all you traders out there...

@TXWestCapital Your nightly market wrap shows up at 11:50 PM local for me, and as hard as it is to stay awake, I don’t dare wait until morning because there are too many times when something you put out has already popped by morning. Definitely worth the sleep loss!

Thanks for sharing your experience, man!

I listened to that video you did referencing the “secular bear market the likes of what you’ve never seen”, more times than I can count. That was awhile back, a couple of years I think. I remember thinking then, please just let me bank gains on CRV before that happens,and please don’t let tradfi top and drop first dragging us down, and please don’t let the US economy go to hell in a hand basket and drag us and the world economy down first. The only two things I didn’t think about then was gold and silver going positively ballistic. When I was telling my brokerage guy to pull money to put into crypto, he asked me if I wanted to pull out gold too. I said “why the hell would I want to own gold when this incredible opportunity exists”?!? His response was that if it didn’t work out, I could do his lawn maintenance. We are literally threading the tiniest needle known to mankind. Good luck to us all. I hardly follow CT Twitter anymore, I just wore out. I did read a little bit of thethread, where you sort of stepped in it of stepped in it referencing the fact that you were glad to see people capitulating. I knew what you meant by it, but wasn’t surprised by the responses. The one thing that did strike me when you were responding to someone who engaged, was that the whole bitcoin thing worked out great for you, you got in early and got out in time. What ran through my mind in that moment was you saying when bitcoin was around 60,000, that was not the time to be buying bitcoin, because the R/R just wasn’t there. I understood your logic then too, and followed it, willingly, because I shared your view. This cycle, whatever the hell that means, just did not work out like all of us hoped- thus far…

When you start hearing one of the largest holders of Bitcoin making statements about how Bitcoin just needs to appreciate by “x% annually” for their business plan to be viable you just know that the first secular bear market in Bitcoin’s history is gonna be a painful one. The idea that we will see a bear market worse than anything we have yet seen seems like a foreign concept for some, despite the fact that we have seen these multi-decade boom and bust cycles play out again and again in every other financial market. If you plan based on data from Bitcoin’s past when its entire past has been one massive secular bull cycle, then you’re gonna be completely blindsided when Bitcoin enters its first secular bear- conditions that we have never yet actually seen before. $BTC

@GreighWard @bbands I’m sure you could teach John a thing or two. 😉

@bbands Literally at resistance man

Yesterday our trend model for Bitcoin turned positive and we took a position in our Tactica program, which is now fully invested. $BTC

@CryptoSays Sage advice….

I just read a small paragraph that resonated with me and probably will teach you more than anything else out there right now, if you are willing to understand, and embrace. So, read it multiple times, to truly get the power of it. "For positioning: When the trade is asymmetric, leaning long into a neutral outcome with tight stops below the weekly low when you don't have a set of directional bets ahead of the print, then... 1. The bullish scenario pays you huge if it hits. 2. The neutral scenario pays you small. 3. The bearish scenario costs you, but with tight stops the risk is defined, and your losses calculated." This is important because that, RIGHT THERE, tells you exactly what's the difference between an amateur and a professional, a gambler vs a real trader. And ultimately, consistent growth vs the constant demise of your portfolio.

@Tradermayne These videos are freaking awesome. You’re unfiltered, but you’re a hell of a teacher. Thank you!

@CryptoSays Out of curiosity Joe, do you think Alts can perform against a retracing BTC, and or a significant retrace in stocks?

Are we getting the strongest buy signal for alts in 2026. Absolutely yes... Why? DEEP analysis from WP Theory (TA+FA) is screaming broad risk-on. Capital wants risk and if it can't find it in BTC (stuck) what do you think is going to happen? IMHO, this starts resolving upward earlier than expected. I guarantee you 95% of retail is NOT exposed, because they are either scared to death, or having wet dreams about bears. I guess when the right date comes, there will be a LOT of green candle chasing. I told you several times April 13th (1W) was going to be one of the most important pivots of the year. Still early... Enough said. If you want to learn, and be positioned in the right place, at the right time, IKAGI is open. The ROI of your education at this juncture is one of the most asymmetrical in years. IKAGI/WP 👺

@GeoMetric_9 Nice breakout and nice catch, but is it done?

$AXS on the list of coins flagged on Whop and was on our breakout watchlist. This is why I made the list and asked members to position early in these, the breakouts are sudden and difficult to enter after the breakout. The opportunity was not visible to most prior to the breakout.

@CredibleCrypto Oh I remember impulsive PA….. ready and waiting- just trying to learn some nuance here. Thanks

Just a testament to the fact that it's essentially still in a ranging/low volatility environment/accumulation phase so volatility is muted at this time both to the upside and the downside. Once we start getting impulsive PA we will then be entering the expansion phase and all that will change.

We've cleaned up *some* of our lows here and it's nice to see $CRV holding up a bit here close to our mid-range. With $BTC having reached its own respective support zone and holding above it for now, there is a chance $CRV also holds our mid-range instead of making a trip back to range lows. Ultimately this will probs hinge on of $BTC holds above 74k (our most bullish LTF scenario) and continues it's expansion into 80k+ without a deeper pullback. Continuing to monitor these lower timeframes for now to see if we can get a hint one way or another...

@wsqofficial Odds are in favor of a break down no?

$BTC: Wait for the triangle to break to confirm the next direction.

@TXWestCapital Great show!

@CryptoSays Hmmmmm 🤔

Barely starting... Don't stay sidelined. 😎

@Tradermayne You have an intriguing sense of humor. 😂

No shit

@avotoast True story

part of the US/iran conflict is quite literally control of the narrative tweets on the timeline are part of the war - western vs iran media viewpoint differences - trump exaggerations/lies as part of "art of the deal" - "real time" social media accounts with 0 quality controls tweeting market moving updates) effectively impossible to trade short-term at this point and absolutely noise for any mid-term trades/investments

@ChartGuys I’ve already stopped listening. Your wait will be short.

I cant wait to have a market where no one knows what videos are real, let alone headlines.

@CredibleCrypto Interesting. Would you wait for a confirmed reversal before taking a long?

A near 40% increase in OI on the news of the $AAVE exploit, with negative funding suggesting shorts are the aggressors (which is a logical expectation given the circumstances) but still no lower low and chart looks like this. Potential short squeeze in the making...

@techsportsmark @CredibleCrypto I bookmarked this when you wrote it Mark, cuz I knew this day was coming. In 21 hours, it went from $27.70 to $1.29. When CRV gets to $20, I’m selling. I’ll leave the other $7.70 to the rest of you. 😉

I understand that $RAVE has only been around for about 6 months and $CRV has been around for 6 years, but the fact that $RAVE has gone from $0.24 to $6.48 in less than a week is exactly what @CredibleCrypto is talking about re: momentum once something catches a bid.

@CryptoTony__ ZackXBT laid this whole thing out about 5 days ago. It wasn’t a surprise..

$RAVE down 90% today is as bad as $LUNA drop back in the day I hope this is investigated and prosecutions are made if necessary. Crazy how bad actors get away with this and it’s obvious this isn’t natural movement

I didn’t read these replies before responding above-my bad. I have to admit, I started laughing when I read the passage from Cred that you copied. I get it- when you read that alone with no further context, may it sounds like a lawyer drew it up. I’m going to guess you haven’t followed Cred for long, and here’s why: If you had, you would have been aware that he explained in very sufficient detail every one of those components when he executed them, so they were already familiar to most of us. All he did here was to place a tidy bow around them. Be well..

CC's target audience yes. Outside of that, which is most of X, the following is anything but straightforward. This would be Greek to 99% of retail investors. "First off, on HTF, we are still focused on the idea that we have a HTF trade setup with inval at .18- that trade/position doesn't change based on these LTF movements. On LTF- we just played a LTF setup off of our triple tap base, with clear LTF inval, which allowed us to open a long targeting the local range highs, which we've now met" The original question was actually just a question on the target audience. Perfectly and politely responded to. Thank you :)

Getting questions about profit taking and what to expect next for $CRV. So let's talk about this: First off, on HTF, we are still focused on the idea that we have a HTF trade setup with inval at .18- that trade/position doesn't change based on these LTF movements. On LTF- we just played a LTF setup off of our triple tap base, with clear LTF inval, which allowed us to open a long targeting the local range highs, which we've now met. Now there are two distinct possibilities that we know we have to evaluate after a triple tap completes: Scenario 1: The triple tap base acts as a bottom forming accumulation range that leads to further expansion upwards OR Scenario 2: The triple tap base just allows for enough of a counter trend rally to hit it's target before reversing back in the original direction and melting through the base for continuation lower We have also seen instances where BOTH of these outcomes have played out- so what do we do? Do we take profits at these local range highs and at the first target or do we hold out for higher? This is where portfolio and timeframe separation comes into play. For example, I will have up to 3 positions on $CRV at any given time, each based on a different TF, different inval, and different approaches. Position 1: Spot position. Accumulate at lows, sell at end of cycle/new ATH- no "inval" unless there is a fundamental change in the investment thesis. Inval is based on shifts in thesis, not on price. THIS POSITION REMAINS UNTOUCHED AT THIS TIME. Position 2: HTF long on $CRV with inval at HTF level of .18- anything movement above that is noise, take profit target is significantly higher. THIS POSITION REMAINS UNTOUCHED AT THIS TIME. Position 3: LTF long on CRV, playing the triple tap formation. This idea has MET it's target, so profits have been taken on this LTF scalp long (~20k profit, not bad for a 2 day trade). NOW, I am prepared for EITHER of the two scenarios above. 1. If we simply keep going up (Scenario 1) then I capture the upside on both my spot port and HTF long position. 2. If we pull back from the range highs/local resistance (Scenario 2), then I have the opportunity to jump into another LTF scalp long if/when the opportunity presents itself. In this way- it doesn't matter if I "know" what is going to come next- a breakout or a rejection. EITHER WAY I will be prepared and have a plan in place. You don't need to be able to see the future (no one can) you just need to have a plan for either outcome so you can win either way.
