| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, as you know, on this podcast, I bring the best guests in the world at that nexus of understanding of macro-crypto in the exponential age of technology. |
| 0:09.4 | If you're enjoying the show, a quick five-star rating goes a long way. |
| 0:13.4 | It helps us grow and keep these conversations coming with the best guests in the world. |
| 0:18.3 | Thanks a lot. |
| 0:31.1 | Got another great show for you today. We're going to take a look at the macro environment. |
| 0:40.7 | Chris has a bunch of charts teed up. And we're going to take a look at one stock that is acting like it's alt season. |
| 0:46.3 | So stay tuned. We're going to dive into all of that. I mean, it has a 200% increase. But Chris is going to dive into all of that. Chris, happy Wednesday. How are you? |
| 0:50.7 | Doing well. Thank you. Yes. So I want to start with talking about the stock markets because that's really the story these days. |
| 0:57.0 | Crypto is just doing what it's doing. And until it decides to reverse, we're going to talk about stocks. |
| 1:02.3 | So really the thing that's been going on with stocks lately is we know we've seen a decline off the top. |
| 1:07.9 | We've seen a bit of a chop sideways in all the markets. We've seen |
| 1:11.2 | the NASDAQ in particular bleed out a bit because of the tech stocks, software stocks primarily. |
| 1:17.1 | And we've had a bit of a bounce. And so really what I've been looking at today is, is this |
| 1:23.2 | bounce for real or is this just, you know, a dead cat bounce and we're going to work in a leg lower? |
| 1:28.3 | And so I wanted to dig into some just kind of macro indicators and some things I'm seeing |
| 1:34.3 | and see if if there's some meat on the bones, so to speak. |
| 1:37.8 | So let's look at just first of all, I want to kind of zoom in on the NASDAQ here. |
| 1:41.9 | We had a, it basically came down and touched its 200-day moving average as support, which we can see it's touched on three different times, you know, really in the past year. Well, not past year. Sorry, past four months, whatever. And it's sort of sitting right there. It had a nice bounce off of it too. And so again, I was like, |
| 2:01.1 | this is at the bottom of the range. It's a nice bounce. Are we going to get rejected at the 20-day |
| 2:05.0 | moving average here and roll back over? Or do we think we're going to move back up to the top of the |
| 2:09.1 | range and start setting higher highs again? And so I pivoted over and started looking at a few things |
| 2:15.1 | that caught my eye. And one of them, we've got a couple here. |
