It's August 28, 2025 alongside me with my co host Fed Chair Niponator. Bitcoin is in the green. Let me know if you're on our Pump watch yesterday and your feedback as we haven't had a pump watch a hot minute and it's good to see that we're still in the green for the day. We're going to kick it off with our Market watch as we do each and every day. So without further ado, pulling up coin360 one more sip of the caffeine for the blood stream. You can see Bitcoin up a quarter percent on the day. At the time of the live stream trading at 112405 we have ether in the red down 3% XRP down and the bulk of the market is actually correcting today for the alts and and in the red and checking out coinmarketcap.com the current crypto market cap today is coming in at 3.88 trillion. The all time high is just above 4 trillion. Bitcoin market cap is 2.235 trillion. We have 174 billion worth of volume for the past 24 hours. Bitcoin dominance coming in today at 57.7%. Ether dominance on the decline 13.9%. Checking out top 100 crypto gainers past 24 hours. Pith up 49% Kronos up 8 and a half and Conflux up 8%. Let me know which alt if any you're bullish on for the bull and taking a quick glance at the crypto bubbles check out your boy JV in.
C
The bitcoin bubble with the orange.
B
That's how it should be. Orange pill in the masses like a young BlackBerry molasses. But anyways you can see the bulk of the market in the red. There's some in the green. I'd say it's probably 7030 red over green today for the overall market zooming it out for the week. Broader perspective, similar but closer. I'd say 6040 red over green zooming it out for the month you can see definitely the bulk in the red. I'd say 7030 right over green and checking out for the year for the past 12 months. And there's the silver lining. When in doubt just zoom out as I'd say 8020 green over red and checking out the crypto greed and fair index. Yesterday we were neutral. Today we're still neutral. Today it's a 51, yesterday 48, last week 44 and last month a 75 in greed.
C
And checking out the infamous time chain calendar jv nip andator block height 91214 we have 137,896 blocks until the having a 2028. And as of today 8-28-2025 you can exchange one fiat monopoly dollar for 890 sets. So you know precisely what to do. You pick up the SATs, put down the gas and pick up some bitcoin caps.
B
Now for our ta aka astrology for the baddies. Bitcoin ignores new OG whale selling as Bitcoin price hits 113 GS baby. That's right. And Bitcoin broke above 113 today. Thursday as the man from Asia ignored the fresh whale selling Here you're looking at a one hour chart. I'll be pulling up the live chart. Stay tuned. Trading view showed Bitcoin gaining 1.6 on the day, hitting a high of 113 365. Before our little correction, the uptick liquid dated about 40 million of the crypto shorts. Hence you can't short your dork in the four hours of the time it is being published per data of Coin Glass with the bitcoin resistance stacked overhead. At the same time a Bitcoin OG whale began to distribute more than the supply with 250 BTC sent to the crypto exchange ban. The transaction was noted by analytics look on chain following a 750 Bitcoin sale the day prior. Whale distribution behavior, often involving coins dormant for a decade or more previously sparked a snap. Bitcoin price downside is outlined here from look on chain which is great on chain data. Now on the recent selling trend amongst whales, longtime market analyst Peter Brandt argued.
C
This is reflected classic market tops. Quoting them here it represented supply tops and markets are created by supply or distribution. Now not all classes of bitcoin investors have rethought their market exposure. Andre Dragos, European head of research at Bitwise, said both retail and institutional accumulation are now at their highest since April during the aftermath of the dip to local lows of under 75,000. He says such high level of accumulation tends to precede major breakouts to the upside. Now Brandt remained levelheaded on the outlook saying bitcoin needed to reclaim117.5 to invalidate the bearish trend reversal signals. And we're virtually 4,000 away from that line in the sand now. Failure to do so, according to the analyst, would leave recent all time highs as a double top formation. Discounting the seven weeks of price action. Now a warning signal from Coinbase Premium index of the Wall street open showed bitcoin bulls were not yet in the clear. The premium was red for Wednesday per data of onchain analytics platform Crypto Quan pointing to the weakening US demand after the strong start for the week. And there you have it. Yo. Next up let's pull up the charts.
B
And we'll do some live chart action. Jackson Satisfaction, Bo Jackson, Tony Braxton for the baddies. As you can see right here pulling up Coin. I'm sorry, not Coin 360, but Coinbase via trading view. You can see live and in the flesh. This is the one hour chart. A lot of price action going on here. There is a rising wedge formation which is bullish and we do have A green target on the one hour. It's an inverted head and shoulders currently sitting at 1162 again 1162 in play on the one hour chart which is currently in the green and pumping and zooming it out. We'll take a step back, checking out the four hour. You're going to notice some corrective red candles, actually three printed in a row. And prior to that we had a big green come up which was obviously yesterday. Our rise above 113. A little bit of a correction here today, but nonetheless no particular bull targets on the four hours. Let's take it a step back, checking out the daily daily chart. Very bullish bull flag formation rising wedgie, the only wedgie officially approved by the Fed chair dog Nipinator. And we do have a very bull target, a bull flag sitting at 146four again on the daily 146four in play. Now obviously the all time high is currently just shy of 125. So a pump to 146 is another $21,000 above current top or I should say entering price discovery which is pretty lit. And zooming it out from there we'll take a look at a weekly and then the monthly.
C
The weekly chart.
B
You can see this is our third.
C
Red candle for the week. We still got three days left until we get the close but hopefully we can flip this back into a green, continue the bullish momentum. You'll notice a few weeks back we had seven green consecutive candles which created that rising wedge. But then we started correcting a few weeks back. So we'll see how this fares out. Will September be a September or September? You guys gotta let me know in the comments. I'll read them out shortly.
B
And checking out the monthly really quick, you can see the silver lining is.
C
We had four green consecutive candle closes on the monthly. However, August only has three days left and we are in the red. So we need to get a pump of at least a few grand in order to close this month. Flip it into the green, continue the bullish momentum.
B
But there you go, yo.
C
And if you don't know, you better ask somebody.
B
All right, next story of the day. El Salvador's Bukele reacts as 1 billion Bitcoin holdings bet increases on betting market calshi. That's right and Bukele did address this as well. Bukele called attention to prediction markets amid increasing bets that the country's bitcoin holdings will hit a billion by the year's end. And as of right now, it's just above 700 million. Bukele shared about Kalshi's prediction market which shows increasing banging activity on El Salvador's bitcoin holdings hitting a billion by the end of this year, he said. I could do the funniest thing right now, buell said, as the odds of El Salvador hitting a billion bitcoin milestone before November jump from 20 to 38% on Cali. Game on and soon after Buel's post rival platform Polymarket listed a similar bet where the odds of the 1 billion Bitcoin milestone by December of 2025 stood at 43%. Let's go now CI's prediction market and it would ultimately mean Bitcoin increasing 25 because they only purchase one Bitcoin per day. So also keep that in mind their prediction market of el Salvador is 1 billion Bitcoin holdings has been active since mid August before the December 2025 BET holdings near 24 and before November of 2025 hovering around 18 until the last few days. It just started spiking following the spike to as high as 38. The before November 2025 bet dropped to 27% while the before December 2025 bet hovered at around 35% as outlined right here now. While Kali has been tracking the odds of El Salvador's Bitcoin holdings reaching a billion for several days, rival platform Poly Market only introduced a similar market following Buel's tweet. Smart new poly market will El Salvador hold 1 billion of Bitcoin by that particular date? The platform posted hours after Bukele highlighted CI's market on Thursday. Now controversy around El Salvador's Bitcoin holdings cal she Poly Market are set to capitalize on the rising optimism around bitcoin countries holdings. Neither of the platforms created betting markets concerning a previous controversy back in July. El Salvador Central Bank President and Minister.
C
Of Finance claim El Salvador stopped buying Bitcoin after signing a 1.4 billion loan deal with the IMF. My understanding is that never came officially from El Salvador or their folks that came from the imf and my understanding that that's FUD because they post the proof of work every day. So my understanding they've been purchasing a single bitcoin every day consistently and you'll see at the end of the month 30 new Bitcoin purchase. So I don't believe that they ever agreed to stop purchasing future bitcoin that's been misconstrued and turned into fud. So I just wanted to clarify my understanding there. But anyways they currently have 6,282 Bitcoin valid at roughly 79 million at today's prices. So that means bitcoin needs to go up, what, roughly 30% before November in order to hit that billion dollar target on the betting markets. But you guys got to let me know your thoughts of where you feel El Salvador's holdings will be in the up and coming months.
B
All right, fam. Next story. Kanye West's Yeezy token YZY51,000 traders got wrecked losing 74 million. Only 11.
C
Always a divine omen, netted $1 million.
B
That's right.
C
Can't make this ish up.
B
I covered this a few days ago on the pod. The launch of Kanye's token, my understanding is it surpassed $3 billion in market cap within a few hours of launch.
C
And then it crashed to under a billion that same day.
B
Following day it was down to 200.
C
Million and now it's. I don't know, we're about to check it out. But anyways.
B
More than 51,000 traders incurred losses on Yay's recently launched meme coin.
C
Not surprised.
B
Highlighting potential risk of trading celebrity endorsed.
C
Tokens with no intrinsic technological utility. You're telling me. The Yeezy Token was launched on the Solana blockchain August 21st. It rallied 1400 within the first hour before losing over 80 of its value. Just like that snipe, snipe, snipe. And of the 70, 000 traders who invested in the Yeezy token, more than 51, 800 have realized losses with three traders losing over a million. What idiots. And that's according to the blockchain data brought to you by bubble maps. Meanwhile, 11 wallets. I bet you they were insiders and snipers. Made 1 million or more. So you can see it's so minuscule for anyone to actually win with this. These shitcoin launches. And amid the large scale losses from the majority of the tokens traders, only 11 out of 70, 000 wallets. I'm going to repeat, only 11 winners out of 70, 000 wallets generated over a million in profit, while 99 generated over a hundred thousand. Highlighting financial risks of celebrity endorsed meme tokens with the lack of blockchain utility. It's all outlined right here. Meanwhile, the Yeezy Token price is now down over 80 from the all time high, trading at $0.55 with just 19, 000 traders still holding the token. According to data from Platform Nansen. Former kit boxing champ Andrew Tate was amongst the traders looking to profit from the rapper Endorsed Token, tate opened a 3x leverage short position on the Easy token, leading to a total 700, 000 loss. What an idiot.
B
Now, following the Easy incident, the blockchain data platform pointed to Hayden Davies, co creator of Melania Token, the Libra Token. And this guy ends up being behind.
C
Virtually every celebrity scam token, the same exact guy.
B
Now, Davies received renewed access to his funds August 21st after a judge unfroze 57 million worth of USDC stable coins.
C
Tied to the Libra Token scandal. Which is another story for another day.
B
But anyways, they wrote here, despite our collective efforts as investigators, builders and communities.
C
The same name keeps running the same scams. That's because he's allowed to get away with it and they do nothing about it. So he's just gonna rinse and repeat. Because literally the next day Davies sniped the Yeezy launch and made 12 million.
B
I mean, that's illegal.
C
It should be. Now, Naseem, a network of snipers tied to Naseem, famous for making 100 million.
B
On Trump, was the first to buy easy.
C
These snipers are consistently first printing millions. Exactly. So it's virtually all the insiders making the money. Everyone else gets wrecked. And I don't see this bandwagon slowing down anytime. And there's always going to be new suckers trying to get rich and they're going to end up getting wrecked. So take that as a lesson. Just stick to the bitcoin, I mean, or go to the casino and risk it all for the biscuit. It's up to you guys. But there you have it. Yo. Let me know if you guys paid attention to that launch or if it was under the radar. But we did discuss it, so I wanted to do a follow up on that here today. Always follow the inverse Kramer. Can't go wrong. Must have hit exactly. Exactly. Can't go wrong with the inverse Kramer. Even a broken clock, they say is right at least two times a day.
B
Next up, Ether ETFs capture 10x more.
C
Inflows than Bitcoin in five days. That's right.
B
Spot Ether ETFs are selling like hot cakes in the US attracting more than 10 times the inflows of their spot bitcoin counterparts over the past five trading days. In fact, since August 21, spot E3 testing a whopping 1.83 billion of inflows, while Bitcoin funds only took a tenth of that with 171 million. The latest trading day Wednesday continued the trend with nine Ethereum ETF funds reaching 310 million of inflows, while the 11 spot Bitcoin fund saw just 81.1 million. Ether has recovered faster than Bitcoin this week with the ether prices climbing 5% from their Tuesday low. However, today it's correcting while Bitcoin's pumping just, you know, be one hun. Whereas Bitcoin only managed to gain 2.8 over the same period. The massive shift to ether was not missed by industry observers such as Ethereum educator Anthony Sasano, who described it as brutal as outlined right here on X. Meanwhile, Novadiaz Wealth Management President Nate Jurassi added that the spot E3 tests are now close to the 10 billion of inflows since the start of July. Spot E3 taps have been trading for 13 months and have seen 13.6 billion in total aggregate inflows, the majority of.
C
Which has come in the last couple of months. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have been around longer, trading for 20 months with an aggregate inflow of 54 billion. The momentum has seemingly been shifting to Ethereum following the passing of the Genius.
B
Act stablecoin legislation in July, as the network has the largest market share of stable coins and tokenized real world assets. It is very much what I call.
C
The Wall street token, according to CEO of Vaneck, Jan Van Ek and meanwhile, Bloomberg analyst James Safart reported Investment Advisors were the top holders of E3 test with 1.3 billion in exposure and according to the SEC filings, Goldman Sachs is the top holder with 712 million in exposure. Meanwhile, ETH was trading down 1% on the day, trading at around 4,500.
B
Now for our next story of the day, bitcoin megaphone pattern targets 260,000 as the bitcoin price screams oversold. That's right, the bullish megaphone pattern, also known as the broadening wedge, forms when the price creates a series of higher highs and lower lows. And as a technical rule, a breakout above the pattern's upper boundary may trigger a parabolic rise. Send it Bitcoin's daily chart shows two megaphone patterns as shown in the figure below. The first is a smaller one formed back on July 11, a divine omen and the recent rebound from the pattern lower trend line at 108, suggesting a.
C
Formation is indeed playing out.
B
The pattern will be confirmed once the price breaks above the upper Trend line.
C
At 124.9, which which is the current.
B
All time high coincide coinciding with that level reached on August 14th. The measured target for this pattern is 144,200 which is a 27% increase from the current level.
C
Want to know what's ironic?
B
That's roughly about what Bitcoin needs to increase for Bukele's holdings of Bitcoin country to go from 700 million to a billion.
C
So send it and let's get it you. I mean now. The second is a bigger megaphone pattern that has been performing for the past 280 days. Bitcoin is trading near the upper trend line of the megaphone which currently sits at 125. Similarly, a break above this level would confirm the pattern clearing the pathway rally to 2068. Such a move could bring the total gains to 82%. Meanwhile, crypto influencer Facial B highlighted Bitcoin's breakout from a giant megaphone pattern on the weekly time frame with an even higher measured target of 260 60,000. He says the next leg up is inevitable. In fact he shared the chart right here outlining the bullish megaphone chart and he says Bitcoin has broken out of this bullish megaphone pattern. The next leg up is inevitable. Inside Allah and Asala brother. But anyways, Bitcoin's 12 drop from 1245 highs and short term huddlers Investors who have held less than 155 days at the panic mode as many sold at a loss. Idiots, you can't lose what you don't sell. Remember that one. This had serious implications on the short term market value for the short term huddlers realized price which has fallen to the lower boundary of the Bollinger band signaling oversold conditions. Quoting analyst Frank Fedder here on the pullback to 109 bitcoin tap the oversold zone on the short term huddler MVRV Bollinger ban. He also shared a chart showing a similar scenario in April when bitcoin bottomed out at 74. This oscillator dropped to oversold conditions before bitcoin started recovering and is up 51% since. Now Bitcoin were to go up another 50 plus percent. We're talking obviously above 150, 000 per coin would be right in alignment with this target baby. And with the latest drawdown the oversold short term huddler MVRV suggests bitcoin price was due for the upward relief. Bounce, Bounce. Come on bounce. Possibly staging a similar recovery to April in August. And retail and institutional accumulation have now been at their highest since april's dip below 75. Which could be another sign that 108.
B
Was a local bottom. So you guys got to let me know if you agree or disagree. Do you think the bottom is in when we just recently hit the 108 or do you think we'll likely correct lower? Let me know your thoughts and I'll read them out loud before we dive into our feature story of the day.
C
All right, fam.
B
Now for our feature story of the day, here's bitcoin coin price predictions from.
C
Analysts regarding this year. Before the end of the year, they range from 145,000 to a million per coin.
B
So let's break it down and just.
C
Dive right into it.
B
So, yeah, why are bitcoin predictions the most sought after? Well, number one, it's fun and it's.
C
Exciting and everyone's got an opinion on where the bitcoin price is going to go.
B
So let's start here. On the safe side of the crystal ball. We have institutional analysts with targets ranging.
C
From 145,000 to a quarter million.
B
Then there are technical analysts who rely on the charts, trend analysis, other mathematical indicators, you know, astrology.
C
For the brosis, they're predicting prices as high as 340,000. And then there's the bitcoin maxis. Long live the maxis. The nipinators and moonshot seekers with predictions.
B
Well above 500,000 into the seven figure territory.
C
Now you're speaking my language. This table rounds up the major 2025.
B
Price predictions from prominent analysts and institutions.
C
Let me entertain these for you, sailor. He's predicting by the year 2046.
B
Obviously that's another like 21 years from now that Bitcoin's going to hit 21.
C
Million, but that's actually a little outdated. I recall more recently he gave a keynote speech at one of the events and he upped his 2121 plan to the 4242. And also up the prediction of 42 million per coin in the next 21 years. Core rationale, growing positive regulatory and legislative developments surrounding crypto. Next up, we have Kathy Wood of ARC invest. She suggests 1.5 million in two years by the year 2027. And her new bull target is 3.8 million at the top of the decade in five years in 2030. Her rationale, bull case, institutional adoption due to the low correlation with with traditional assets. Next up, we got bitwise, a major asset manager. They suggest 200,000 above in this year by the end of the year 2025 and suggesting 1.3 million in 10 years, 2035. Their rationale, institutional adoption, Bitcoin scarcity inflation, hedge, demand. Next up we have the CEO of the largest exchange in the United States which is Coinbase. Brian Armstrong's projecting 1 million per coin which we covered more recently a few episodes ago. He says by the year 2030 at the top of the decade. Regulatory clarity, U. S governments and Bitcoin Reserve crypto ETFs are the reasoning for this projection. We also have the one and only Jan3 Samson Mao. He predicts 1 million price prediction. He's the one who coined the Omega candle which is a hundred thousand dollar candle on the daily chart. And obviously we need to get several of these multiples per month in order to still hit that million dollars before the end of the year. But he says it's going to happen in a violent upheaval when everyone least expect it and he is still very bullish and his rationale is violent supply shock from the ETF demand institutional and nation state adoption and shout out Samson now. By the way, next up we have Shamath p. He's projecting 500,000 October. Obviously that's right around the corner. I don't know how long ago he made this prediction in all fairness but his rationale is Bitcoin as a potential global reserve currency. Decentralization and scarcity. I'm going to assume this particular prediction was made a while back. We also have rich dad Robert Kiyosaki. He's projecting a quarter million before the end of the year. His rationale hedge against traditional financial and uncertainties and fiat debasement. Next up billionaire venture capitalist Tim Draper. He's projecting 250000 before the end of this year. His reasoning is political regulatory drivers along with increased institutional adoption. Next up fun strats Thomas Lee suggesting 150 to 250000 before the end of the year. Reasoning post having supply shock, global liquidity expansion and dovish Fed policy. Next up we got Standard Chartered Bank. Primary shareholder there, FYI is like BlackRock. They're suggesting 200 to 250000 before the end of the year. Rationale Massive ETF inflows, portfolio shifts away from the US assets pension fund uptake. Next up you got HC Wainwright. I've never even heard of these mofos. But another asset manager projecting 225000 before the end of the year due to accelerating institutional corporate adoption via the ETFs and favorable regulation. Next up Bernstein suggesting 200000 by early 2026 saying stronger than expected ETF inflows herald a new institutional era and this is off the theory of an extended cycle clearly. We got Peter Brandt suggesting 125 to 280000 this year. We had Bitfinex suggesting 145,000 and 200,000 Vanex suggesting 180000 this year. We got Bitgets Ryan Lee suggesting 180000 before the end of the year and JP Morgan the largest drug trafficker money launderer bank that I'm aware of. They're predicting 145000 long term and their rationale comparison to the gold market cap.
B
Which is now like 23 trillion and.
C
Also lightning growth network so you can see the prediction in this chart. You guys got to let me know your thoughts. Where do you feel the prelo biddy will likely take us for this cycle? Peak and A Read those comments out loud and welcome everyone to the Q A segment of the live stream. Fossil fuels were named that because Rockefellers wanted to introduce scarcity into the oil industry. Exactly. And the reality is there's no scarcity of oil. It's in abundance in the earth and it doesn't it's not derived from dinosaurs. So the the term fossil fuels is propaganda in of itself. Hate to break it to you guys but Dino from the Flintstones is a mythical creature.
B
Sorry.
C
Speaking of the Flintstones, I remember little Bam Bam Pebbles, Barney Betty. How many of you guys used to watch the Flintstones? I couldn't have been the only one. My favorite character. I think his name was Gazelle. It was the alien time traveler. Ironic enough. The little green Martian. I can agree with Kathy woods prediction of 3.8 million in 2030. If you look at the technicals it's doable. Amen to that. 225 end of the year 1 million.
B
For the cycle peak.
C
I've been calling this a super cycle since the all time high before the having facts. Send it.
