Bitcoin Ready For The Next Surge

Added: 2026-05-26

[00:00:03]Welcome back to Cryptos Us. I'm George.

[00:00:08]We're all George. Well, today's a holiday, so I wasn't planning on streaming, but here I am. Happy Memorial Day to everyone. So, today the US market is closed, but there are still a lot of stuff to talk about. So, let's talk about what's the latest with all the stuff in the Middle East.

[00:00:29]What's the latest with Bitcoin and crypto and why we are ready for the next surge. All right, let's do let's do it, guys. Let's do it. I know a lot of you guys are off today getting ready for a barbecue or something. It's kind of early for a barbecue, though. But uh here we are starting out the week at 776. That's not bad. That's not bad at all. We've been waiting for a turnaround. You know, Bitcoin's been hovering for a little bit, right? Uh we were at 82, fell back down to about 76 77. Now we're kind of hovering, but overall we're trending upwards slowly.

[00:01:16]But as you can see on here, MACD is flipping over, RSI's flipping over, and we are still squeezed right now between the 50 and the 200. So waiting for that push, okay, to break us higher. And we may be getting that soon, right? I've been saying that we have a lot of geopolitical stuff and macro stuff and crypto stuff that should be helping soon. This again of course uh been talked about forever but it does seem like both sides are ready both sides are ready to end this. Uh so negotiations obviously still commencing.

[00:02:06]We thought it could have been done by last Friday but no they're still going.

[00:02:12]Trump is now saying, "No, no, we're not going to rush this."

[00:02:17]Even though he did say that everything's largely negotiated and things are progressing nicely, he's like, "No, we're not going to rush it.

[00:02:27]Time is on our hands, so we're going to do it right." So hopefully that's the case, that there is good progress. is largely negotiated and that this will be done soon because it's just like never ending foreverness right now, right? But it does seem like markets are reacting positively.

[00:02:51]Crude oil fell down 5% as more and more people think that this is going to come to an end soon. And I do think when it does come to an end, it will definitely help drive markets higher. So I think everyone's just kind of waiting, waiting and waiting, right? Hopefully this doesn't drag too much longer, but yeah, it's one of those things.

[00:03:19]Uh we will see. We will see. Also, if you look at this week, the rest of this week, we have the M2 money supply that's coming out tomorrow. It should be going up. M2 money supply means liquidity means more money flowing around. And it's not just the US, it's the world. Everyone's printing. Everyone needs to print. But outside of that, we got the GDP and PCE inflation reading. That's later this week, Thursday. And jobs report, huge non-farm payrolls and unemployment coming out. Wait, no, that's next week. I'm sorry. I thought that was this week. But no, just inflation this week. So, obviously, we know inflation has been going up. We don't want it to keep going up. But you know if we get a break and it stops then it will definitely help the case for further rate cuts later this year right so we'll we'll have to see but the M2 money supply will be interesting whenever that starts skyrocketing and usually it does things are good for crypto.

[00:04:42]All right.

[00:04:44]What else? What else is there? Uh, Sailor Sailor didn't buy Bitcoin this week.

[00:04:55]Usually on Mondays he buys. Is it because of Memorial Day? No. He did something different, which is weird.

[00:05:02]He said, "This week we bought bonds, not Bitcoin."

[00:05:12]So that's interesting. It's interesting.

[00:05:16]You know, this is kind of like the weeks before where he decided to just load up on cash and people are like, "Why are you loading up on cash? Why are you not buying Bitcoin?" All of a sudden, he started buying Bitcoin again. Now he's buying bonds.

[00:05:30]Treasury bonds, I'm assuming. I don't think it's Bitcoin bonds. He didn't really clarify.

[00:05:36]What's up with that?

[00:05:39]But obviously he has been making big purchases.

[00:05:42]Um I mean as you can see here I mean it just never ending right. He made a 25 basically 25,000 purchase last week. But it's kind of weird. All of a sudden he's like yeah I'm buying bonds.

[00:06:01]Hopefully it's just temporary and there's a bigger, you know, there's a bigger reason for it. I think there is, but we'll see.

[00:06:13]And of course, you got others that are still buying Bitcoin. It's not just Sailor, right?

[00:06:21]So, this donor right here, 1.5, 1.6, will continue to keep going higher.

[00:06:29]Sailor and others are leading the way.

[00:06:32]That is not going to stop anytime soon.

[00:06:35]So, that's good.

[00:06:37]It's good. But you know what's funny?

[00:06:41]According to CryptoQuant, Bitcoin demand has fallen to the the most bearish level of the year. This is probably uh measuring retail not institutions because obviously Sailor and uh and the others are still buying. You still have a lot of metrics about whale accumulation, whale charts going higher.

[00:07:08]You know, ETF inflow is kind of mixed.

[00:07:10]Last week was bad, but last three months actually really good.

[00:07:17]So, I think this is more a measurement of retail. But here's the thing. You could look at this half glass empty or full.

[00:07:28]If you are a Bitcoiner and you believe in the longterm prospects of Bitcoin, this is when you want to get in. You don't want to get in when demand is skyhigh because then you're fomoing with everyone else. You get in when things are still low, right? So, even looking at quote interesting opportunities for long-term investors.

[00:08:00]That's right. That's right.

[00:08:03]Uh, last few things, not too much to go over, but here's one.

[00:08:09]The LCD is flipping up to the upside.

[00:08:13]This is obviously on a monthly scale.

[00:08:16]again opportunities when you start seeing that histogram start turning right that's a bottoming process that's a reversal process and usually it's a really really really good opportunity it's very similar to the 2015 bottom if you look at it it's kind of slow histogram took a while to reverse but it It's kind of like that right now.

[00:08:50]Golden opportunity to load up. You got to build that wealth because AI is going to take everyone's job.

[00:09:00]You got to build that wealth right now.

[00:09:05]And then here's another interesting one that that that compares Bitcoin and gold.

[00:09:13]you know, very similar pattern retracement going up. We see this every single time. Every single time Bitcoin decouples away from gold a little bit and during like crypto winters, we tend to see this. But this is going to be the shortest crypto winter we have ever had.

[00:09:30]And I think the reversal had already started. And some of the geopolitical and macro stuff, the conditions improve, we're on our way.

[00:09:41]Outside of Bitcoin, uh XRP, XRP is going to have CME futures. I don't know if that's a good thing or not. semi futures, you know, we always have these gaps, right, to fill because of CME futures.

[00:09:59]So, I'm not sure if it's actually a good thing.

[00:10:03]Uh, Vitalic says Ethereum Foundation will sell less ETH.

[00:10:08]Well, that's good. That's good. But right now, Tom Lee is carrying it, just buying everything. So, I I don't think it I don't think Ethereum selling ETH really matters all that much right now.

[00:10:19]Unless I'm mistaken, they're dumping billions at a time. But like they're dumping a few million here or there.

[00:10:25]It's not going to affect it. As long as they need it to continue to improve, it's okay.

[00:10:30]>> But I may be wrong. I don't think they're dumping billions. But like right now Tom Lee is buying the billions every week. So it it offsets that.

[00:10:41]But interesting interesting that he has to say that. That means people have pointed out. People don't like it.

[00:10:47]All right.

[00:10:49]That's pretty much it. We're still doing decently well today, right? Uh there are a couple things. What what else? I was looking at the liquidation map.

[00:11:02]Okay. So, if you're looking at this, we are moving to the upside. All right.

[00:11:08]I know this is a little harder to read, but there are a lot of levels, right?

[00:11:13]Liquidation levels right above where we are. You could see that gap basically between like where we are to the 80s a lot of levels to clear. We do have some levels to the downside below 768 but you know we recently we recently came up from there. So we'll see. We're kind of stuck but there are a lot of shorts waiting to be liquidated if we could push back into the 80s.

[00:11:43]That's for sure. And speaking of liquidations, over the last 24 hours, we still had 135 million liquidated.

[00:11:54]And that's not good. That's not good. We still tend to have way too much long pressure. It's interesting because if you look at by asset, it's kind of 50/50. Okay? you got 50% liquidated uh that were long and then 50% short.

[00:12:15]That's with Bitcoin though. But with ETH, it's definitely the long side. With soul, it's definitely long side. XRP to the long side.

[00:12:25]So, you know, people are definitely a lot more risky when it comes to alt ETH, soul, XRP, everything else. But with Bitcoin, it's kind like half half.

[00:12:38]Kind of interesting.

[00:12:39]Kind of interesting. All right, that's pretty much it. Uh, two other things that I've added to ask class since last week, which is kind of cool. I think one that relates directly to tokens, to clash, to everything, that's a token screener. So, now we have our own token screener. And it's kind of cool. You know, this is not going to really replace Dex Screener or Dex tools, but we do have a setup of our own. We have AI integrated where you can ask about all these new tokens and we have our own risk level so that you can measure whether they're risky or not, if they're a whale trap, you know, fresh long risk. We have all these algorithms to calculate and we have you know cool information and total holder count and also holder count too like the top top 50 right and it kind of shows you whoever who everyone is. So this is kind of our own version. I think it's pretty cool for version one and it does work. If you ask AI this for Clash, it's a little bit more, but it will tell you exactly where the risk, what to look out for with Clash, it will explain a little bit more about the whole project and stuff like that. So, there you go, right?

[00:14:09]Kind of cool. So, those of you guys that are gem hunters, I know most of you guys are not at this point, but some of you guys that are gem hunters that's always looking for something new. Well, now you have something here and it gives you a little bit more insight into whether they're trustworthy or not. Although, when it comes to like new stuff, it's kind of really hard to kind of really hard to tell at times.

[00:14:38]Uh outside of this something else that's unrelated to crypto but you know I think it's important uh and that is a new AI leaderboard.

[00:14:48]So this is kind of like market cap and token screener but those of you guys that are into AI I'm completely fascinated with it and I really want to could push forward and I keep you know measuring all the new so this is kind of a a leaderboard for all of them. So I compiled all the information from several benchmark sites and from the providers themselves and other places and basically ranks all these guys uh according to everything with the weighted scale and I'm doing some more test form. I'm going to add some web three scoring into this too to test how these models are handling web 3 specific questions and that'll be our own benchmark. But this is the list with GPT on top and then Claude and then Gemini, their newest model and some of these other ones that you may or may not have heard of like Deep Seek and Kimmy and even Facebook's on here too, but they haven't released it yet. So, that's also on here. As time go on, I'm going to add more AI features into it. I think the next thing is probably something like a AI agent that you guys could use whether it's for like a better for you page or um or actually for like coding like if you guys wanted to code yourself and don't know how to get started I could actually create something that actually helps with that but I think first thing is to help create a better for you page like tracking crypto like having a research assistant stuff like that would be really useful and then expand upon there and do other stuff.

[00:16:31]All right, that's it guys. Let's do some Q&A.

[00:17:01]lith 88 euro. It's right here. It tells you everything. Total TVL is the total market cap. The entire supply was already minted. This is not a surprise, but this is something that you can look up yourself.

[00:17:21]All right, guys.

[00:17:23]Let's do a quick Q&A and I'll let you guys get back to it. I know most of you guys are still sleeping and whatever else or preparing to go to lunch or just being lazy, which is cool. That's what I should have done, but I woke up early.

[00:17:43]The kids had people over, had their friends over, and then plus I was still working.

[00:18:01]Good morning all.

[00:18:05]We got good news. Good stuff happening.

[00:18:08]Nothing really changed, but definitely still coming up for sure.

[00:18:26]A lot of new memes are launched on base now. It's like all these are on base, but they all have like no liquidity.

[00:18:50]Kurt Matt, that is good. That's a smart move. tell you that.

[00:19:11]Fear level is still at 30 right now.

[00:19:23]Strongest group AI. Weakest group memes.

[00:19:27]Top movers today. You got AI, you got Yeah, it's all AI stuff.

[00:19:35]Fat render virtual kind of all in the AI space.

[00:19:41]Clash should really be in the AI space now, not gaming. It's really AI play at this point.

[00:19:53]I don't think much of Zcash. Not really into privacy coins.

[00:20:00]Uh, do you think Doge is dead? Uh, no.

[00:20:04]Doge will never die. The the fan base is too big. It'll never die.

[00:20:10]will get back to its peak of 70 cents eventually when the market comes back and Elon starts shilling it more and maybe incorporates into X or something.

[00:20:20]It'll go back. Just going to take a while.

[00:20:37]But I'm lucky ass Clash every day more and more because I keep building more.

[00:20:43]It's it's really can't you really can't have a better crypto platform at this point.

[00:20:50]Everything that you want all integrated all works seamlessly. I think the next thing is having a watch list for tokens.

[00:20:58]But our MA market cap is awesome. It watch portfolio is awesome. All the tools that we have are awesome. The for you page is a great way to start your day.

[00:21:10]You got all the macro stuff. You have the autocharting and charting.

[00:21:16]And now you got AI leaderboard and pretty soon AI agents. I mean, this is a pretty damn good platform.

[00:21:26]And it's still all free right now.

[00:21:28]Pretty soon it won't be pretty. I mean, most of the features will probably still be free from limited use, but at some point I'm going to have to start charging for this site. And that's how it's going to help Clash, too.

[00:22:03]It's definitely going to be in the AI space.

[00:22:06]It'll still be gaming. There's no nothing wrong with the gaming side, but definitely AI, I think.

[00:22:37]We're slowly trending up right now.

[00:22:43]Slowly. See, we're we're we're breaking out. We're above what is it the 50 on the 15 minute. So we're trending upwards here which is nice on Memorial Day.

[00:23:01]There's a lot of liquidation levels.

[00:23:04]So, if we can trend up a little bit more into the 80s, we're going to get a short squeeze. And that is that would be awesome.

[00:23:27]All right, guys. I guess I'll let you guys go on this Memorial Day. kind of quiet, but that's okay. We got good stuff happening.

[00:23:38]Got very good stuff happening. So, don't be discouraged. I know it's kind of boring, but golden opportunity whenever things are boring, okay, like this, the lowest demand of this year, that's usually a good pickup opportunity, good DCA opportunity. So, stay strong, my friends. Have a good Memorial weekend.

[00:24:03]I'll see you guys. Or not weekend, day.

[00:24:05]I'll see you guys tomorrow. Go check out the new features on Ask Clash like token screener, our new AI leaderboard, and all the other features if you haven't played around with it yet. All right, have a good one, guys. Take care.
