Answer

The next 14 days until the November 3 midterm elections will determine the cycle: expect heavy volatility from war, AI and crypto headlines, but midterms have historically been a buying opportunity — go in with conviction and use the dip to position in undervalued crypto.

AI Summary

Markets defied 'Black Monday' fears with a green Monday: NASDAQ futures up 1.32%, S&P up 0.54%, CoreWeave futures at 65.89 and SanDisk up 5.13%, since the feared AI-credit spiral never hit. Rising interest rates were the real worry — they raise data center funding costs and act as a handbrake on the AI buildout, either via Fed hikes or bond vigilantes pushing the US 10-year Treasury yield up. Bitcoin broke out on the 4-hour chart and has held above the 50-week moving average for five consecutive weeks, putting the bull-market invalidation zone around 76,000. With 14 days until the November 3 midterm elections, media manipulation, the Iran war at $109-per-barrel oil, and AI, impeachment and crypto-targeting by a possible Democratic sweep are all expected to drive heavy downside volatility. That volatility is framed as the buying opportunity of a generation: NASDAQ 100 has posted positive returns from every midterm election day to the following June 30 from 1986 to 2022, Bitcoin has decoupled from the NASDAQ and is leading it since the AI trade topped, and underallocated investors should start deploying while fully allocated ones wait to strike with conviction.

Key Points

  • Green Monday, not Black Monday — NASDAQ futures up 1.32%, S&P up 0.54%, CoreWeave futures at 65.89, SanDisk up 5.13-6% despite the anniversary of the 1987 crash (34.5% weekly S&P drop) that had markets fearing a repeat
  • Rising interest rates are the AI handbrake — higher debt costs slow data center capex, whether through Fed hikes or bond vigilantes pushing up the US 10-year Treasury yield
  • Weekend trade proof of concept: SanDisk bought at 12.59 over the weekend, opening around 13.62 Monday, using decentralized 24/7 perpetual exchanges where Wall Street doesn't operate
  • Bitcoin is five consecutive weeks above the 50-week moving average, historically confirming bull markets; the invalidation zone sits around 76,000
  • November 3 midterms, 14 days away — voters vote on the emotion closest to ballot day, and the media machine targets AI, diesel prices, inflation and markets to sway that emotion
  • Oil is at resistance around $109 per barrel with Iran reportedly saving firepower for the final weeks before midterms, plus a new Trump attack plan and US warnings to Americans in 12 Middle East countries
  • Democrats' chances: 65% to take the Senate, 91% the House, 63% for a clean sweep of both
  • Hakeem Jeffries' stated agenda if Democrats win: reinstate the Affordable Care Act, reverse Republican Medicaid, hold a vote against the Iran war, undo Trump's tariff regime — plus slow AI development (New York's data center moratorium), push impeachment, and scrutinize crypto

00:00 So, we got all the calls for Black Monday, right? That was everything. The whole weekend was around Black Monday. If I look at the charts today, there's no Black Monday. It's actually a very, very, very green Monday. Let's just quickly take a much deeper look at the charts. Uh, you've got the NASDAQ up one, the futures up 1.32%, which is which is like a big number considering today was supposed to be Black Monday.

00:21 You have the S&P up 0.54%. Uh you have coreweave which was the stock that everybody was worried about causing the collapse or this AI collapse which which would have led to black Monday. That one on the futures is up to 65.89. Um you you have uh uh uh SanDisk which is up 5.13% from where it closed on Friday. Remember this little panic station that happened yesterday which is why I actually made the show yesterday.

00:49 I made that show yesterday which basically I think I called the show where is that show? It was. Yeah. I said it was a a Black Monday show. I said you need to see this before Monday cuz there was definitely not going to be a Black Monday. So, we made that show. Uh on that show, I showed you that what you could do was you could actually buy the stocks on the weekend and then make money on the Monday.

01:10 So, remember we actually bought I said to you this is the the SNDK one was the one to show us that if there's no black Monday, we could have bought this. We bought it at 1259. And if you look at where it intends to open it, it looks like it's going to open at 1362. Now, now you'll see on variational that the price has gone repriced back to 1362. Right?

01:27 So, this is the game that that we need to play, right? We have an advantage over Wall Street. The advantage we have over Wall Street is that they don't understand 24/7 um they don't look they don't understand 247 stocks. They don't understand lower liquidity, low volume uh uh weekends. They don't understand that stuff. We do and we know how to trade it on decentralized exchanges.

01:51 And that's what I wanted to show you yesterday in the show, right? So like when we did the show yesterday, I said to you guys, look, if you think there's not going to be a black Monday, then you go long on the weekend, you pay the lower price cuz remember the price is actually lower. We see we paid 1259. If you look uh it was okay, now the market just opened.

02:08 It went to 1359, right? So theoretically, there we go. We've now made the money. Um theoretically, what you would do now is you would close. I I would close that position. I would close that position. I would also close that position because, you know, we've I just want to I did it just to show you guys um I did I did it just to show you guys the power of being able to trade Tradfire assets 24/7 on decentralized perpetuals exchanges and how you can easily make money out of it.

02:32 If you had a view that there was not going to be a black Monday, then you just took that that SNDK position and today you would have made a lot of money. I'm saying it again. If you're not farming points on variational, I think you you're you're botching the biggest crypto opportunity of of that you're going to have in the next two and a half months.

02:48 Why? Because you earn points every time you take a trade. The points are there's no fees, right? There's zero fees. You're earning points every single time you trade. And there's going to be a billion dollar airdrop. Now, as I said to you last last time, I made 400 points last week on just doing a little bit of trading. Imagine what you could do if you were actually a real trader.

03:07 If you want to sign up, there is a link below. Uh if you go and look, if you go and look for that link, you get a 15% trader. If you want, you get a 15% points boost, which is the biggest points boost in the industry if you use the code omniun. And like literally, you got a couple of days left. Do it and start trading these real world assets because if it would have been a Black Monday, you could have actually made money.

03:27 If it wasn't a Black Monday, you also could have made money. It's just you have an advantage cuz you know how to trade stocks better than the people that that that don't know the the stocks people. you can beat them at their own game because I don't understand weekend trading. They really don't understand weekend trading. Um, all right. So, now my Yeah, my mic is working.

03:45 Okay. So, um, let's talk about the show that I made yesterday. The show that I made yesterday was around Black Monday and I said, look, there is a concern that as interest rates go up, right, as interest rates go up, the whole AI build basically starts to to to to slow. Um, and that was the concern. It was weighing down the market last week and and and over the weekend.

04:04 Let's talk about what this concern actually is because it's a real concern, right? The concern is that if interest rates start going up then the data centers which require all this capex need more funding and that funding becomes more expensive, right? And therefore interest rates going up actually slow down the AI revolution, slow down the the AI builds and therefore slow down the the stock market returns that are being made in AI.

04:31 It's a handbreak for AI. Now, how do these interest rates go up? So the interest rates go up twofold, right? The first thing is that the Fed can increase interest rates. That puts a handbreak on the economy because the Fed's basically increasing interest rates. The second way is that the Fed doesn't even get involved. The bond vigilantes get involved.

04:47 They drive up the risk-free rate of government lending. So this is the US 10-year Treasury yield. This is the yield that the US government actually pays on on on lending. when when the market feels that it's priced unfairly, the market asks for more money to lend money to the US government and that pushes the yield up. Now, when that happens, the yield or the the the rates to borrow for non-government customers also land up basically going up and that slows down the the AI building.

05:17 That's what the market was really really scared of, right? And so that's why they were calling for a uh a black Monday. And for those of you who don't know what Black Monday is, Black Monday, the anniversary of Black Monday is actually today. So it is actually today it was in 1987 and that is where in one day or in in one period let's talk about like a period of a week the market went down 34.5% on the S&P and that's why everybody was scared of black Monday.

05:40 Today would have been the anniversary of black Monday as it had it happened but it didn't happen and instead what we got is we got a green Monday. We got like a like a very green Monday. So the S&P 500 up 58, the NASDAQ up uh uh 1.3%, coreweave, SNDK, all the hyperscalers basically basically up today. Um yeah, it's basically the opposite of a black Monday.

06:02 And for crypto, it's also the opposite of a black Monday. So on the short time frame, you basically got Bitcoin now breaking out on the 4 hour time frame, right? So you got like Bitcoin breaking out on the on the 4 hour time frame. And also if you want to look on the bright side of life, you got basically Bitcoin over the 50week moving average now for I think five weeks, five consecutive weeks with Bitcoin over the 50we moving average.

06:24 Now, reason why I love this 50WE moving average. So I go to the weekly and I go to the 50WE moving average, the SMA 50. Bang. And you can see that every time we go over that in a bull market, every time we go over that 50we moving average, we basically stay there. And that like confirms the bull market, which means that my invalidation zone would be somewhere around 76,000.

06:43 And so far, we're we're way above that 76,000 now. So, we are safe for now. We are safe for now, but that doesn't mean that we are safe for the future. We are safe for today. Um, but we do have 14 days, as I mentioned in the in the in the thumbnail, there are 14 days until the midterm elections. And what happens in the next 14 days, how you react in the next 14 days, how you treat your portfolio in the next 14 days will make the the ultimate outcome on how you perform this cycle, right?

07:12 You mess up the next 14 days, I think that you could mess up a big part of the cycle. you get the next 14 days right, you get your mindset right in the next 14 days, you could have the biggest opportunity of your life. Why do I say that? Well, in the in the next 14 days or in 14 days, we get basically get the midterm election. So, November 3rd is the midterm elections.

07:31 That is 14 days away and remember that now there are two sides that are basically that that are basically going for this and both sides are going to create a lot of turbulence around the midterm elections, right? Remember that the premise that you have to think about is that voters vote on the emotion that they carry closest to the ballot day. So whatever the emotion that you carry on the day closest to the ballot day, then that is the emotion with which you vote.

07:59 Right? So I'll give you an example. Right? If on ballot day you feel extremely poor, then you're going to hate the current government and you're going to say on this day I feel extremely extremely extremely poor. I hate the current government. I'm going to vote against them. Right? If you're sitting on the fence. Obviously, if you're die hard red or die hard uh uh uh uh blue, then you're not changing your views very close to time.

08:19 But there's a whole lot of like voters that can actually sway the election or that weren't going to go and vote. But the emotion would now get them to vote. So, you got to think about what what the emotion wants people to do, right? So, like you you got to think about who are the forces that are going to try and sway your emotions. You got to try and differentiate what the media machine is going to be or who the media machine is actually backing and and and basically you've got to decode all these messages because in

08:49 the next 14 days or 15 days 15 days 23 I mean researchers you say 14 days but then you say 15 days 23 minutes and 10 seconds okay it's different time zones so in my time zone it's 14 days soon in your time zone it will also be 14 days so in this show in this show we have to decode everything that's about to happen in the next 14 days which is going to try and affect our uh our um decisions.

09:16 Right? So why do I say that? Because markets it's a well-known fact that before the midterms we generally get a lot of market turbulence. You can see that every single other midterm year we get turbulence before the midterms. Why? It also happens very close to the midterms. Why? because that's when the media manipulation machines, that's where both sides tap in, the media manipulation machine to try and get their way.

09:39 Now, we know this time that the mass mainstream media manipulation machine is actually against the Republicans and against Trump. So, you can imagine that Trump's objective is to keep the market up, to keep people feeling rich, to keep people feeling happy. And then the mainstream media, who maybe are not that aligned to Trump, their objective is to get us feeling poor.

10:01 Their objective is to get us feeling angry. Their objective is to get us to get it to get us emotionally charged up. Why the hell is there a war on Iran? Why the hell are diesel prices going up? You can expect a lot of articles around diesel coming out in the in in in the next couple of months, right? You'll see a lot of these a lot of these Trump's diesel dilemma by numbers referring to the diesel price from gas prices to grocery bills, how Trump's economic policies are giving Democrats new midterm campaign weapon.

10:30 You're going to see a lot of this in the next 14 days. This is designed by the mainstream media to charge you up emotionally to make markets more turbulent so that when you get to the ballot to the to the ballot boxes you're making a decision that is the other way around. Now what are the forces that are basically fighting us to be the other way around.

10:47 The first thing is you have the let's let's talk about like the different forces or the different wars that are going to happen between now and the midterm elections. The first war is the actually the AI war, right? Because if you think that debt can stop the or the price the interest rates the price of of debt can can can um uh uh stop the AI build, right?

11:11 You have no idea what the Democrats are going to do if they basically come into power or if they if they get their way, right? Because you think that that like the Democrats are trying to stop or a lot of them and and there's a lot of Republicans also. So, just to be clear, like Democrats, Republicans, um there's a lot of Republicans and a lot of Democrats with the same agenda, but the majority on on an 11 v1, you've got the Democrats against the AI buildout, and you've got the Republicans for um more right-wing pro-

11:39 capitalism, more AI buildouts. They want to put moratoriums on developing data centers. New York's became the first state to hold data center constructions after Democrat government Kathy Hochel signed an executive order that temporarily that bars the state from approving new new new permits for large projects. So you want a handbreak all of a sudden if the Democrats start winning start thinking about a handbreak on on on a on AI development, right?

12:03 So that's the first thing. The next thing that that could basically slow the markets and make you feel poor is the war, right? Like there's two wars that are going on. There's the Russia Ukraine war and then the Iran war and you can expect that in the next 14 days there's going to be a lot of headlines and you can expect there to be big headlines in the next 14 days because on the one hand the Democrats well not the Democrats the people that don't want Trump in who are the people that don't want Trump in the Iranians

12:30 don't want Trump in because they find him impossible to negotiate with right um uh uh um I mean the Democrats don't want Trump in Trump in the mass media machine doesn't basically want Trump Trump in power right and so what they're going to do is they're going to switch up the volume or they're going to turn up the volume when it comes to anything related to the war.

12:47 In fact, we are already seeing it, right? And I said it a while back. I said it on on 9th of October. I said, "Watch out for an escalation in the war before the midterm elections next month." Right? And you're starting to see it. There's oil now at resistance levels over here at $109 per barrel. Like, we're going into a midterm election with the oil prices over $109 per barrel.

13:05 Why? Because the Iranians have basically kept whatever firepower they've got left. Whatever ammunition they've got left, they've kept it and they said, "We're going to hold on to this tight until until like we can get people emotionally charged up just before the midterm election cuz that's our one chance. It's it's our one chance to get Trump out of power."

13:24 And so they basically been saving all their energy, all their supplies, all their headlines, all their artillery, everything, everything, everything until for that one one like two weeks before the elections and maybe even the one week before the midterm elections when people will be the most charged so that hopefully Trump can lose the House, the Senate or both the House and the Senate.

13:42 Right? So you're already seeing it. There's a new attack plan dead like Trump's talking about a new attack plan. The US just told uh Americans in 12 Middle East countries to ready cancel flights. Trump on the one hand he's showing I'm going to end this war and the Iranians are going no no no no no no you're not going to end this war and there's this like this big big big thing if Trump can go into the midterms with the war with a victory in the war people in America will feel euphoric they'll feel patriotic and they

14:06 will vote for Trump that's what Trump wants if he can't people will say hey this is costing this war's costing us a lot of money we're not really achieving anything actually all we're seeing is we're seeing the gas prices going up we we'll see diesel headlines and it's true because the diesel price is actually going up Right? So, it's this war and in the next two weeks, this war plus the the the Ukraine war is going to turn up a notch and that's going to make markets volatile.

14:33 Right? Because remember, war goes up, inflation goes up, inflation goes up, more interest rate, interest rates go up, interest rates go up, data center buildout slow, therefore stock market slow, therefore, therefore, therefore, next two weeks will be crazy. You got to remember one thing though, right? Keep your eyes on the prize. And the reason why I say keep your eyes on the prize is this chart over here.

14:52 If you look at the NASDAQ 100 returns, every time if you say if you say every midterm election date to to the following June showed positive returns for the NASDAQ, every single cycle from 1986 to 2022, every single cycle if you bought from June 20, June 30th till uh the no from from the midterm election day and which is usually where the bulk of this volatility take takes place, right?

15:23 until the 30th of June next year, you get amazing amazing amazing returns, right? You get whether Democrat or Republican, you basically get amazing returns. So, just keep your eyes on the pile. There's going to be um war related headlines. They're going to be AI related headlines. There's going to be a whole lot of other headlines. Um uh there's going to be a whole lot of crypto related headlines because crypto is one of the things that they're actually going to go for.

15:46 So, let's quickly just understand what what I mean when I say that. So the first thing is let's look at right now what the US structure looks like now. The the Democrats sorry the the Republicans own the House and they own the Senate, right? So basically they can do whatever they want. Well I mean they need a certain number of votes to pass certain bills etc.

16:04 But generally they don't have to answer to anyone. If the Democrats want anything they can write letters and whatever else but they can't really force the Republicans to do anything. Why? Because the Republicans own the House and the Senate. But if that changes, then all of a sudden, not only do the Democrats have a voice, but they can actually demand things.

16:20 And that's that's the big problem, right? They can actually subpoena things. They can actually they can actually subpoena Trump. They can impeach Trump. Whereas right now, because they don't own the House and they don't own the Senate, they can't do any of that, right? So, right now, they are a nuisance. They are they are they stand in the way of of of actually passing bills.

16:37 But if they win the House or they win the Senate, then things get a little bit a little bit uglier. And the truth is, because we're going into an election with high oil prices, because we're going into an election with with wars going on, because we're going in with with high inflation, with high diesel prices, there's a 65% chance the Democrats take the Senate.

16:55 And then there's a 91% chance that the Democrats actually take the House. And then there's some kind of probability, which they call a clean sweep, right? And right now, the Democrats sweep is a 63% chance. So there's a 63% chance that they will take both. Okay? When that happens, can you imagine what happens next? Well, you don't need to imagine because I'll tell you exactly what happens, right?

17:15 Because they've actually even come out and said it. They said if they come into power, the Democratic leader, Hakee Jeff, who is the guy who's going to become the House Speaker, which is a very powerful position, right? Because if you're the House Speaker, you decide what gets heard in the House and what doesn't get heard in the House, right? Today, the House Speaker is a Republican.

17:35 So he decides whether the Democrat matters should be heard or whether the Democrat matters should not be heard. And guess what? None of the Democrat matters basically need to get heard according to the Republican. But the minute that there's a Democrat uh uh House Speaker, all of a sudden they the Republicans can't hide anymore. And he says right out the gate, we will he's basically said it.

17:58 He says, "We will reinstate Affordable Care Act, reverse Republican Medicaid, hold the vote against the Iran war, and undoing President Trump's tariff regime." They basically told us that, right? They basically said, "Look, as soon as we come into power, this is our agenda." And if I were to break down their agenda right now, um, is number one, AI, slow down the AI development, right?

18:24 Number two, end the war. No wonder the Iranians want the Democrats to win and why they want to hurt Trump going into the midterms because the Democrats are b saying we want to end this war that Trump shouldn't actually even be in, right? And then they want to put impeachment back on the table. So again, they're going to impeach or try and impeach Trump.

18:46 Doesn't mean that they're going to remove him as a president. It just means that they're going to charge him as a president, right? And then the worst thing is they're going to go after crypto. So they will go after crypto. Now, when I say will go after crypto, I think that the one of the reasons why the Democrats really hate uh Trump is because he's made so much money on crypto.

19:06 And the truth is that as good as he has been for crypto, and I want to say that like Trump is really really really good for crypto. He has been better than any Democrat has been for for for crypto. The one thing that he's done is also utilized his powers to milk like crypto like the Trump token, the Melania token. Even I as a crypto person don't agree with the shenanigans that that these guys did.

19:28 I mean, I think the one that I have the biggest issue with is is this one over here. And you know, for a long time I wasn't going to say anything, but I'm I'm at the point now where I don't actually care anymore. So like I think like the biggest enemy that we have is is world liberty, right? So like if you think about like what world liberty is, this is a token that is controlled by the Trump family.

19:47 Like I mean you know who who controls it? It's uh it's uh Donald Junior. It's Eric Trump. It's, you know, this is the Trump token right now. If you think about this, they promised us a DAP or they promised us an app, like this massive app that's going to get a lot of adoption and debank everyone. Hardest, do you use the world liberty 5? Let me know in the chat if anybody here actually uses the world liberty 5 because I I don't believe anybody uses the world liberty 5, but maybe I'm wrong.

20:15 Let me know if you use the world liberty 5. I hope you do because that would be great for crypto, but I don't think anybody uses the world liberty app, right? And then you kind of say to yourself, well, hold on then. If if if this token has a a value of like $5.6 billion fully diluted, right? Um where is this value coming from? Like what is this? And like you come to a conclusion that maybe people that want favors from the president maybe this like this is like completely hypothetically speaking and you know I'd never

20:42 ever think that this could happen but you could say hypothetically hypothetic this is very hypothetical. I I I can't imagine it would happen. But what you could say is you could say that if you wanted a favor from the president, you couldn't actually pay money into the president's account and say, "Look, you know, I'll pay you if you do me a favor." But what you could do is you could agree to buy some world liberty tokens on the market.

21:07 I mean, you could agree to do that. You you could also I'll give you another example, right? You could also do a deal in the USD1 which is the world libertify USD and then like the world libertify entity would earn the fees of that, right? Like there's a lot of things that you could do. I don't imagine anybody would do it like to get a presidential pardon or anything like I don't I don't imagine anyone would actually do that.

21:29 But I'm just saying that if you wanted it to be done like it could be done, right? And so the Democrats are going to scrutinize this vehicle and they're going to say like, you know, like, you know, Trump family, like you guys in control of this, like there's been so many deals that have basically happened in this world liberty fight token. Let's just maybe scrutinize it a little bit further.

21:47 Let's just maybe scrutinize it a little bit further. Um, so that is um, so that is like what the Democrats are going to do. Basically, they're going to go for four things and all four things are basically going to affect crypto. First thing is they're going to hit AI. If AI hits, the stock market takes a dive. If the stock market takes a dive, I don't see a world where crypto basically stays still.

22:08 So that's the first thing that basically goes down. The the second thing is they end the war. I mean, I guess great. If they can end the war, great. Oil prices come down. That's good for the economy, etc., etc. Then they start impeaching Trump, which makes all Trump's policies that haven't yet been passed very hard to pass, right? Like everything that Trump wants to pass, he can't get the right amount of votes, you can't get it tabled, etc., etc.

22:28 And then the last thing, they're going to start going after crypto because that's where Trump's made all his money. All of these together mean that in the next 14 days, well actually not 14 days, 15 days, 9 minutes and 27 seconds, we can expect volatility, lots of volatility. So what does volatility mean? Just I want you to understand like the word volatility basically means the the the polite version of of of the word volatility.

22:55 Volatility means downside. Okay? Like when people refer to volatility, it's not upside volatility, it's downside volatility. Right? So basically in the next 14 days, we can expect volatility. I think that the volatility is going to be the buying the buying uh opportunity of our generation. So if you missed the bottom of the bare market, if you missed the bottom of the bare market, which which happened quite a while back, um then you may get another chance because you may get volatility in the next 14 days, right?

23:22 And when that volatility comes, the most important thing is that you go in there with conviction. You go in there with conviction and you say, you know what, I know there's volatility. And and I promise you, you know the thing with volatility. I'll tell you I'll tell you the thing with volatility. When it comes, you always think this is the end of the world until it turns.

23:43 You go like, I can't believe I can't believe I didn't see how that wasn't the end of the world. So bear in mind that the next 14 days um uh the next 14 days are going to be tough. There's going to be um missiles thrown at us left, right, and center where they're going to attack AI. They're going to attack the oil price, the diesel price. They're going to attack inflation.

24:01 They're going to attack markets. They're going after markets because you vote with your pocket, right? Your vote, you vote with your pocket. They're going to try and go after markets. Which markets are they going to try and go for? Well, where have the people made the most money? The people have made the most money in AI. They're going to go after AI.

24:16 Where have they made more money? The S&P. Cool. We're going after S&P. Have you made money in crypto? Yes. Okay. We're going after crypto. Remember that. That is the game here. They're going to go and then Trump is going to have to fight back now. Don't discount the fact. Sorry, let me let me just kill that call. Don't discount the fact that Trump can also fight back.

24:36 You know, Trump's not he doesn't have his hand tied. Trump may pull a rabbit out of a hat like this. He may offer dividends again. Because of tariffs, we are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars of profits. It's one of the reasons I can offer if Republicans win the House and the Senate. $5,000 to every adult. And we can do it and the Democrats can't because the Democrats don't have any income and they're going to drive us in a depression.

25:05 They won't have any money. We have the exact opposite. because of tariffs we are taking. >> Trump can do like remember Trump's not helpless here. So Trump's fighting the one side, they're fighting the other side. And Trump can do like I'm sure he's just not sitting back and going, "Okay, look, let's just wait until the midterm elections to see what I'm sure these guys Trump's got best around him.

25:26 Trump's got is is very very very smart in his own right." I think uh I think that Trump can also pull some rabbits out of a hat. So volatility can be good, volatility can be bad, right? Just think about it like this. Volatility can be good, volatility can be bad. If the markets dip, we go in there with conviction. And I'll tell you why we go in there with with conviction.

25:45 The first thing is we know that midterms are a buying opportunity. Every single time, whether it's Democrats, whether it's Republicans, who cares? The midterms are always a buying opportunity. That is what Joe McCann's tweet and the data shows around here. From the midterm date until the 30th of June, always positive. and actually many times greatly [ __ ] positive, right?

26:10 That's the first thing. Second thing, markets in election years may be expected to go lower through to 26th October. Then normally it's up from there. On average, the NASDAQ does 25% over the next 12 months when the Republicans are in power. Okay. Do I need to repeat that? I don't think I need to repeat that. I don't think I need to repeat that. So, we know there's going to be volatility.

26:35 That is how it relates to the NASDAQ. Now, let's talk about the relationship between between Bitcoin and the NASDAQ. So, we know they're going after the NASDAQ and we know the NASDAQ's going to get smashed. What we also know is that this weekend when the NASDAQ was getting smashed, what did Bitcoin do? Nothing. Nothing. Because the Bitcoin is no longer correlated to the NASDAQ, right?

27:01 In fact, it has been leading the NASDAQ since AI topped. So, we got to a point where this AI trade topped and ever since this AI trade topped, basically you've got um you've got the NASDAQ a bitcoin outperforming the the the NASDAQ. And so, I think that this is the tweet here. It's from Chris Boniskin. He says, "Crypto is in its value era while AI is in the inflated token era.

27:23 Value tends to be where few are looking." And so, I think that right now the AI trade has been overcrowded. It stole a lot of crypto's money. It stole a lot of everything's money. But the AI trade was overcrowded. And I think that the real upside is actually going for the value tokens. If you think about where we are in crypto, and somebody else actually said this very well.

27:45 I'm trying to find it here. So Andy from Rollup, he said, "Crypto is undervalued, underowned, and ripe for the massive move in to the upside while the world is overweight AI stock and traditional entities, and the herd is coming." You get it? That is the relationship here. And that's why I think that these midterms and the volatility that that is going into the midterms are the most exciting things that we can have have for crypto.

28:08 And I have like one word of advice people. It's like if you're an AI, pivot to crypto really, really, really fast. Because if you think about where we are, we're in an age where the crypto protocols are starting to grow based on outsized returns and giving value back to their shareholders. Right? Hyperlid pump fund all these aves any protocol in crypto today that is running is running because it's either extreme scarcity or whether because they found a way to give money back to the token holders right whereas with the

28:38 AI companies they're still battling these huge losses and don't know how they're going to pay their debts that's how we were three cycles ago and two cycles ago and now our returns are based on real cash flows real adoption and real returns and the market hasn't been favorable to us and so I think that if we do get this dip and we do get this so-called volatility.

28:59 I think probably the trade of the century is using that to position your chips very very very smartly on crypto protocols as it relates to that. We've made the buy list. We're sticking to our portfolio. We've made the buy list. Here's our buy list over here. Everyone's buy list is different. I have added a few others. I added clear. I added Sonic. I added Mask uh uh to our uh buy list.

29:20 I'm not pressing any buttons yet. I'm not pressing any buttons yet. Not not not at all. Why? Because I don't see the opportunity yet. I'm waiting for the volatility. And the amount of money that I have left. Like my my situation is maybe slightly different from your situation. I'm 93% invested. I'm 7% in cash. I'm 7% in cash. I'm using the 7% that I have left to really buy amazing amazing amazing opportunities.

29:47 But hold on. You might not have as much exposure as I have. You might be 20% allocated to crypto. If I was 20% allocated to crypto, I start allocating. I wouldn't allocate at all, but I'd be 50% allocated now. And then if it goes down, I'm 50% allocated. And if the next move is up, then I'm 50% allocated. So it depends how much you're allocated. But if you are underallocated, then yeah, start going into the market.

30:10 Like I'll give you an example. Lighter. If you look at lighter today, it's cheap. It's cheap. They're having an investor call this week. Uh, I think it's some sometime later this week. I think a lot's going to come out of that that investor call. This token has been down only since the Robin Hood disappointment. And Robin Hood actually wasn't even a disappointment, right?

30:26 So, Lighter is probably one that that you should be looking at. Um, I mean, I I don't want to go into individual ones now because I think we'll be here forever. But, um, you know, I I'll tell you one thing. One of the ones that I really really really want to do a deep dive into is GTO JTX. So, GTO um have this exchange. It's not a per exchange. It's a spot exchange.

30:48 If you haven't used the spot exchange, this is a I mean, look at this. It's a professionalgrade decentralized exchange. I'll leave a link for you guys below if you guys want to try it out. Um, I mean, just go and try it out. It's called JTX. So, there's a lot of tokens that that that are going to acrue value and actually burn the the and actually burn these.

31:07 Now, again, I'm 93% allocated. I'm 7% unallocated. I'm really looking for like the best deals in the market before I allocate. However, however, however, if you're not allocated like me, then you may want to start looking for the ones that are slight value to actually start allocating. And if you if you want to know what those are, I'll keep I'll obviously keep doing them on I keep saying them on the show.

31:27 I also and I obviously drop a lot of calls in the Discord. Um yeah, I think we'll we'll we'll we'll keep it at that. Um but that's it. So, we are going to get a lot of volatility in the next 14 days. Expect it. Be ready for it. It's not going to be between now and the midterm elections. It's not going to be smooth. There's also data points that are going to come out in the next 14 days.

31:44 So like there's a list of data points. There's uh there's oil inventories. There's Fed the Fed interest rate decision which I think is going to be a no interest rate hike. You've got the GDP and PCE on SE. Who wa look at this. Look how close this is to the mid this is 4 days before the midterm elections. Can you believe that? 4 days before there's PCE which is the Fed's preferred measure of inflation and GDP.

32:07 It's like you couldn't have timed this better, right? Okay. Um, so that is it. So I want to just again remind you there's going to be 14 or 15 days of volatility. We are going to embrace the volatility. Um, like it's 2:00 in the morning and we're in a strip club and we've had a couple of beers. We're going to take that and we're going to embrace the volatility.

32:25 We can't say that on YouTube. Okay? You can't say. You can think it, but you can't say it on YouTube. So we're going to embrace that volatility. You know why we're going to embrace the volatility? Because we have conviction. We know that right now crypto is the most favored trade. AI is the most crowded trade. We're we're waiting for our crypto trade to get a little bit cheaper and then we are going to strike when the volat when the volatility comes.

32:48 And mark my words that volatility will come in the next 14 days. When it does, we embrace it like it's 2:00 in the morning and we've had a couple of beers and we're in a strip club and she walks up to you and we're going to just embrace that volatility. We're going to embrace it. We're going to embrace it. That's what's going to happen. Um, also if you want to embrace money, um, for free, go to variational, open an account, open an account, use the code omniun when you do it because then you'll get 15% more points.

33:17 There are a maximum of 2 months and 10 days before they issue their token. It's a billion dollar airdrop. You can trade real world assets like I showed you on the weekend where you can buy real world assets when the market is closed because you know where they're going to open. You see, I bought and I sold and I made a little bit of money. Just to show you guys how this thing basically works, okay?

33:36 The biggest arbitragees of our lives. Why? Because the trade fire guys don't get this. The tradefire guys don't know what a low liquidity, low volume weekend is how you can manipulate prices, right? They don't get it. So, they see them prices moving down, they start to [ __ ] themselves. You buy because you know on Monday morning it's going to open green.

33:57 And that's what happens. Literally, that is what happens. Yeah, we open green. S&P 500 is up47%. The NASDAQ, the NQ is up 1.22%. Let's see what Core Weave is doing. Corewave is SNDK is up 6%. Coreweave Coree is up.54%. There was no Black Monday today. And if you and you could have traded that. All you need to do go to variational, sign up with a code omniun, connect a wallet.

34:34 I know it scares you to connect a wallet, guys. It's [ __ ] just plug in a meta mask. Click, click, click, click, click, put money in it, put 500 $500 in it, put it in, test it, see if it works, make a couple of trades. This trading experience is actually much more fun than trading on a centralized exchange. And you know, you can withdraw your wallet at at any at any at any point in time.

34:52 If you use the code omniun, you get 15% point kicker. Two more months until you get your airdrop. I'll see you again tomorrow. Until then, trade well, my friends.
