Van de Poppe masterfully dresses speculative gambling in the language of macroeconomics to make high-risk rotation feel like a disciplined institutional strategy. Calling a market move "obvious" is a classic rhetorical trick that prioritizes narrative persuasion over the inherent unpredictability of the sector.

I've Bought More Altcoins, The Obvious Run Is Here!
Added:Finally, the bear market might be over for altcoins, and that means that I've decided to buy some more altcoins. And in this video, we're going to discuss [music] why I've been doing that and why I'm sticking 98% of my portfolio into altcoins. Let's get started.
>> [music] >> Last week, I've made a video where I said that I was planning to sell my altcoins, and I saw all the comments.
Thank you for that. Engagement is great.
But, I'm not selling my altcoins here.
I've actually outlined a complete strategy of how I'm going to be selling those altcoins because altcoins will move in waves. And when the markets are moving upwards, the risk of holding those have actually increased, and that is what we are going to be doing in the coming period. But if we look at the current market circumstances, it's very likely that we're going to have a strong breakout on the altcoin markets. And if you want to receive real-time updates, just go to the link in the description beneath where you can just easily go to my X, subscribe to my X, and then you get real-time updates on all the positions that I have and all the trades that I do. Because I'm simply not going to be holding all those altcoins. I'm going to be rotating into other altcoins, and I'm also going to be actually starting to trade them more actively.
Because as an example, we've seen a run of NEAR from $1 20 all the way to 3 and 1/2. I've been selling some in that run, but then we also saw some very heavy corrections of 50%, 30%. I want to trade those in order to compound my entire portfolio and also to minimize the variance of the portfolio that I have.
Now, why did the markets all of a sudden change this week?
As there are so many factors taking place, and I want to go into the topics that I think that are actually important to follow.
First of all, we've seen the Strait of Hormuz being closed again. Earlier in the weekend, we saw that the war was reactivated. Trump started bombing again. Then Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz. And then Trump initiated that they would take over the Strait of Hormuz and actually imply a 20% tax on every ship that wants to pass the Strait of Hormuz. Which he then reversed back into, "Oh, no. We would like to have some deals with all the countries in the Middle East that have ships that go through it. And then we don't need to do the 20%."
And he also wanted he needed to actually respond to his own fact that he wanted to restart the war because all the factors are moving into the wrong direction of what he wants to achieve.
He wants to achieve lower inflation data. He wants to achieve lower oil prices because his economy is actually being destroyed and in a bad place. So, if he reactivates the entire war and the yields are going to go up, he destroys his own country. So, he doesn't have that much leverage to move forward with.
But, the initial response was that oil prices started to to rally. Technically, it was breaking out of a downtrend that it has been moving in for the past month. And some signals on the markets were actually basically correcting the rest of the risk-on assets. So, the Nasdaq went down.
Gold went down. Bitcoin went down again.
However, Bitcoin has not been cracking the actual support levels as of yet. You were assuming that with all the factors that we have been seeing in the previous months that Bitcoin was going to go to 50,000 or even lower.
However, we are still holding the 200 weekly MA, which is that we are still moving in a range since the markets have hit the low in February the 6th or in the first week of February. So, this sideways range we are acting in for more than 6 months already and the markets have not crashed further. SVB hasn't crashed the markets. Iran hasn't crashed the markets. The AI boom hasn't crashed the markets. SpaceX hasn't crashed the markets. Actually, SpaceX is going down.
All those factors have not seen or have not been giving Bitcoin lower prices.
So, you could argue that we need to have an atomic bomb going on into or landing into Manhattan in order to get Bitcoin down. Or you need to destroy all the rigs to get Bitcoin to $30,000, which everybody seems to expect. And everybody seems to expect that in October we're going to find that low. I don't believe it's going to happen. I actually think that we are at a great place already to accumulate your positions.
So, when we talk about the markets at this point, we can clearly see that the yields are super important to look at.
And I would actually argue that the higher the yields go, the more risk averse people become and investors become because they need to rebalance, the less likely Bitcoin will do well.
So, instead of focusing on the straight of home moves, I would assume that we are actually focused on the fact that the yields have been moving.
And if the yields start to fall, basically due to the fact that CPI and inflation has seen the the biggest drop since 2020 and are actually going down, if that is got the yields are going to drop in Japan, if the yields are going to drop in the US, that's going to trigger a big breakout across the markets for crypto and that would also trigger new all-time highs for the Nasdaq and equities. And that brings me to the fact that we are seeing that the previous bull market for Bitcoin peaked in December 2024. If you look at this chart, every peak of Bitcoin against the dollar coincided with the actual chart of Bitcoin versus gold, except for the last cycle that peaked in December of 2024.
And then you in any bear market, you get an outperformance of gold versus Bitcoin for 14 months.
In this case, we have bottomed in February. We have not made a new low.
The RSI was the lowest ever. So, it's very unlikely to expect that we're going to continue to fall from here. And I think a lot of people will be left behind expecting the markets to go down.
And additionally to that, why would you want to wait until 40K happens if you're already getting an opportunity at 60,000 when nobody wants to get into it? And you're seeing that altcoins are finally breaking out of a one-year downtrend. In this example of AAVE, it has been going down since August of 2025.
It broke down beneath those blue lines, which are the 21-day MA, the 50-day uh MA, and they continued to be beneath those two for the past year. For the first time in a year, it's breaking above it, which means that those altcoins already starting to get into a bull cycle, which means you can buy the dip, which means that you can allocate into that, which also means that the prices are likely going to rally in the coming 3 to 4 months. So, if you're going to be waiting until October starts to happen, you're probably are going to be buying in way higher while all those altcoins continue to have a lot of growth. And that's why I've decided to buy more altcoins in my portfolio. And that's why I'm going to explain which one I've been buying and how I'm going to be trading it. Before we continue, I'd like to thank our sponsor Trade Republic for sponsoring today's video. Trade Republic is the best venue for active traders who want to minimize slippage and fees on every trade. You can technically trade on your mobile phone and on your desktop with Trade Republic and you can trade equities, crypto or commodity markets.
And if you're trading those markets, you want to know how much you're paying in fees. And most of the time, you don't know because it's all hidden costs.
That's why Trade Republic has initiated a function that is called best price to give you a level playing field when you're entering all the markets. And if you're trading Trade Republic in the interface, you can actually make it completely the way that you want to have it. So, you can move all the parts around on the screen. You're also going to be getting real-time data, which if you're trading equities is not always available or you need to be paying paying higher prices or fees towards the exchange that you use. But, the part that's interesting here is that once you're trading equities or any of these markets, you're paying fees in terms of transaction fees and you're paying slippage fees. And Trade Republic has fixed those two, which means that if you want to trade on Trade Republic, you pay €1 if you use the best price function.
And if you use the direct price function, you're paying €2 on every trade that you do. That is different from other venues where you usually pay a percentage of any every trade and that can be significantly higher. On top of that, if you look at the right side of this side of the screen, you can see that the thickness of the order books is phenomenal on here, which means that if you want to sell your position in Nvidia, you're getting a price of 184.44 euros. If you want to buy it, it's just a 4 cents higher than the other side, which means that the thickness is great and that you're not going to be paying a lot of slippage costs. That's all integrated within Trade Republic. And then, on top of that, as I mentioned, there's real-time data that you can actually use. And you've got this terminal that you can optimize for yourself, where you can trade on more than 30 exchanges. And on top of that, you're going to be getting 3% on the amount of money that you have deposited within Trade Republic.

If you would like to receive real-time updates on my portfolio, make sure to to go to X and become a subscriber, where you will receive all those real-time updates. And I would like to give you an example of the stuff that I'm providing there.
Two examples, actually. This is the tweet that I made for subscribers only, which is that I've been buying one more altcoin in my portfolio.
And if you are following the altcoin portfolio, then you might know that I still had $5,000 in cash available in the portfolio. To be quite honest, the amount of cash that I have in my portfolio is low. It needs to be higher. Um but at this point, I've to be fully allocated into the market. And my goal is to decrease the amount of altcoins that I have and increase the amount of Bitcoin, ETH, and cash in the coming months.
However, I also still have two DCA moments coming in on August the 1st and September the 1st. And I might be moving that August 1st DCA forward to right now um in order to be utilizing the current dip on the market.
However, the strategy that I have for the one that I'm buying, and as you can see, I'm buying AVAX. AVAX has been seeing a lot of fundamental RWA growth.
The entire chain is doing really, really well. So, the valuation of that particular protocol does not make sense.
So, what I did, I've been deploying $3,000 into the position, which means that I'm not reactivating the DCA yet.
But, if it flips the 21 MA, um if it flips this 21 MA at $7, I'm eager to be buying more into it. Or, when it breaks south and it sweeps this low, makes a stronger bullish divergence and reclaims that level, I'm going to allocate another 7 to $10,000.
So, in either of the two strategies, I've already allocated some into it, and I'm going to be looking to be taking profits at a higher levels, and to increase the position when my conviction into this play continues to grow. That's my plan. And as you can see, it will be all outlines for subscribers in real time, so they can actually see what I'm doing. And additionally to that, we have been started to improve the entire altcoin portfolio spreadsheet. So, this tracker will be available to all the subscribers on X, where you can technically see all the transactions that I'm doing. You can see in real time what my pie and the allocations per asset will be. Right now, as I said, it's fully into altcoins. I'm going to be decreasing that. I'm going to be increasing that at some point in time, ultimately to lower the variance of my portfolio, and to have consistent growth, which means that maybe for a year long period of time, I might only be at buying the capitulation dips for quick flips and not be allocated at all.
And we're going to be integrating a a graph in here where you can see the valuation of the portfolio grow over time, and you can also start to follow all the transactions that we do and the entire portfolio allocations that we have where you can clearly see in the pie here Wormhole is currently at 17%.
Um and also other assets are currently really big in their allocations. As you can see here, Near is currently 23%.
Um EigenLayer is still 11%. I might be looking to play this one a lot. So, we're all working on this to improve this for the followers that are interested into the trades that I make.
The reason for that is is that I expect the markets to outperform other assets at this point and altcoins to outperform Bitcoin at this point. And the main reason for that is that we've already seen Ethereum do really, really well versus Bitcoin, and that's why I I expect altcoins to start outperforming Bitcoin. So, what is my game plan going to be?
I've already mentioned the fact that I'm looking or actually have been buying AVAX. So, one of the actual areas that I'm planning to be buying more is when it sweeps this low and then reclaims that level. That's scenario one. I'm allocating more there. The second one is that it breaks this $7 level and then retests it for support.
I might actually be looking to take some profits at around eight bucks. Um and for the simple reason that if I'm buying something at $6.50 or 60, it goes up 20 to 30%, the risk that it continue that it goes back down again and not continue to go up is significant. And if I can actually take some profits into my portfolio, I can derisk my entire position and therefore allocate again on a dip. So, I might be doing that, but for now, we just stay into the position and allocate another $7,000 when we get to what $7.
And then when it starts to go up, I'm using a technical framework with sigma velocity and the variance to the upside, including how we stand towards the moving averages and the RSI in order to start scaling out of my positions. So, the higher this one goes, let's say we get this, and we start to get into this momentum upwards, you know that it goes into waves.
So, what I want to do is technically say, "Okay, so we break around to $9 level.
In this entire area, I'm going to be taking profits for at least half of my position because we are already up between 40 to 70%, and that's an enormous return." And then I'm going to be reallocating again as long as we stay above the moving averages in any of these corrections that are taking place, in which I continue to ride the trend.
And once it gets towards a higher time frame level or resistance level where the RSI on the daily, RSI on the three-day are going to be above 70, the risk of holding that asset has increased. So, instead of having a 100% allocation, I need to decrease that towards 25%.
I need to slow down the buying the dip strategy because if we break beneath the moving averages or if the trend reverses, I need to be out of that position. I need to be more into cash. I need to be more into Bitcoin. And additionally to this, I'll be monitoring the Bitcoin chart, the AVAX versus Bitcoin chart, in order to see if we are actually outperforming Bitcoin. So, that's what I meant by being more active with the positions, where I'm going to be doing this in the coming period of time swinging those trends on the old coins and secondly I still have 10 positions in my portfolio which means that I'm going to be reducing the amount of positions that I have and start increasing my cash positions.
So I hope you have enjoyed this update.
I'll be back with new updates in the coming weeks. If you want to stay updated during the period that I'm going to be traveling a little bit more and only be more active on X make sure to go there and become a subscriber. Ciao.
