Hi, everyone. Welcome to Real Vision and our debut episode of Trading the Markets. I'm Bijan Maleki, and I'm joined by Chris Bullock, aka BlastoPlas. Chris, how are you doing today?

Doing great, Bijan. Looking forward to this. I think it's going to be a fun new show. Absolutely. Yeah, guys. So this show, we are going to be, Chris and I are going to be talking about some of our favorite trades, trades we're entering, and some of our favorite trades that are on the Real Vision platform under our trade ideas framework.

feature. So without further ado, let's just dive right into these trades. Well, actually, one more thing before we dive into it. I do want to let everyone know this is not financial advice. We are just talking about trades that we enjoy or that have caught our interest. So just keep that in mind as we discuss, you know,

any trade we're entering or we're highlighting. So now, without further ado, Chris, why don't we jump right into it? What trade do you have for us? So yeah, it's funny. I spent quite a while yesterday looking on the Real Vision website, looking just on my watch list, trying to find anything that even looked good. Because as we know right now, the last month plus has been just like

in the gutter basically, and nothing out there is doing good. Very, very few assets out there are outpacing Bitcoin. And so it was the challenge. It was a challenge to find anything good. And, and I kind of, through that research process, I discovered that really in the last 90 days, there's only about 20 assets that have even done better than Bitcoin. And of those 25 of them were centralized exchange tokens, which kind of makes sense because you got to figure when nothing's going on, um,

The exchanges are still making money. The exchanges are still doing buybacks and burns and things like that. And so that makes sense as to why in a totally down market, it's the plumbing that still does well. And then the other two tokens in that 20 that was interesting to me were both gold pegs. And of course, we know gold has outpaced Bitcoin over this last chunk of time too. And so had only we thought to de-risk a little bit of Bitcoin into gold during that span, we'd have done really well. But...

Outside of those, I didn't want to call out trades on any of the exchange tokens because they are very specific to regions. And I wanted to find something that everybody sort of globally would have access to. So I picked a couple that were also in that chunk of 20 and that I think looked really good. And the first one we're going to talk about is DEXE, which is an interesting project. It's a DAO generation platform. And so if we look at the chart here, I'm going to look at the chart both in USD terms and in Bitcoin terms.

But, well, here, let's actually start. Let's look at Bitcoin first real quick. So this is DEXC compared to Bitcoin. And we can see that it is indeed in an uptrend against Bitcoin over the last 90 days. It has done well. It's done far better than most stuff. Most assets, if you look at, they're below their 20-week moving averages against Bitcoin.

Bitcoin and are well in a downtrend and are just being smoked by Bitcoin basically. And this one, on the other hand, is holding up really well. In fact, we can see it's continuing to set a series of higher lows and higher highs and just looks really good. So that stood out to me. And so then if we go back to looking at it kind of from a trade standpoint,

on the USD pair, a couple of things stood out to me. One, we can see that it held support really, really well right at this level. It kind of touched here, touched here again. And then it's basically been riding along support now for the last week plus. And yesterday it had a breakout. And it's kind of a bummer we couldn't have done this show yesterday because I had a really, really good entry kind of right at the top of this candle here. But since then, it's gone up even...

more, which is, it's not as good from an entry standpoint, but it's still, I'm still going to go with it. So what I'm looking at here is let's just assume this is our entry level right here. And then I think basically I'm just going to go in terms of a trade. This one's going to be a bit of a shorter trade because I think it's just going to easily get right back up to the top of its range here. Had we gone, and then in terms of a stop level, I'm going to put the stop basically right at the support level that it's been hovering at here. Oops.

that it's been hovering at. It's kind of a bummer because right now this is only about a two, two and a half to one ratio risk to reward ratio. Had I been able to do the show yesterday and get the entry back at this candle, it would have been more like a five to one, which would have been a much better trade. But regardless, I still think that in terms of like a shorter term trade, I like the strength on this. I like the fact that, again, it's doing higher highs and higher lows. And I think just a quick, easy right back to the top of this range is is

is kind of a no-brainer trade for me. So I even threw this on the Real Vision website as a trade idea yesterday. Obviously, it could go much higher over the course of the coming months, but just I was looking at this more, again, in a short-term lens. And I just think that this is a quick, easy, double your money kind of thing. So yeah, I wanted to call that one out.

Oh, fantastic find, Chris. I love the research diving into what's been outperforming Bitcoin, because, you know, as we always say, if you're not outperforming Bitcoin, why are you even holding it? So absolutely, absolutely fantastic stuff there. Hi, Raoul here.

Listen, I think we've got until 2030 before the economic singularity arrives. Now, it might not be the exact date, but it's around then. So we have about six years to figure out how to unfuck our future. I've put together a report to help you called Prepare for 2030. It's going to help you take the first steps in that journey to make sure you're secure past 2030. So just click on the link below and start your journey now.

I want to talk about a trade that we had on the platform from Ian Dunn, who's telling us to buy Hood. So Ian has us buying Robin Hood at a limit price of $35. He has a stop loss at $30 and a take profit at $30.

$60. He's also shared a chart as well. And I want to read what Ian wrote on the trade. So the $60 resistance area ended up being the top. But right now, back to the $35 support area, I could see it ranging between those two for the rest of the year. That could potentially form a large cup and handle and then look to target $115.

I also do want to mention that Robinhood just recently entered the gambling arena by launching their own prediction market just in time for NCAA March Madness. Retail loves to gamble, especially Robinhood's target audience. So I think overall it's a good trade combined with what's been, you know, with the news that Robinhood has hit in the market.

Chris, back over to you. What else you got for us? Very nice. Very nice. So yeah, the other one I want to touch on, this one's a little bit more of a longer term outlook. And this is one that if you've been watching our TA shows over the last several months, you'll know about Ohm. And so this one, I'm going to call out a couple different, a different type of setup, basically. We know that looking at Ohm here, that this has kind of been

This is sort of a support level that it has held. And I'm not going to pull up the Bitcoin chart because we've already established this one also is well outpacing Bitcoin over the, well, really over the course of the entire year. This one has had phenomenal success, honestly. But just looking at it in terms of like a trade setup. So I called out this level here. You know, we can see going back here, it served as resistance. It finally had its breakout. It broke out in the initial pump at the

beginning of the year with the rest of alts and then it came back down and it sort of has held this level as support as opposed to breaking down like a number of alts did it held steady right at the same support level that was the previous breakout level and right now it's you know recovered its 20-day moving average which again very very few crypto assets in this space are even

at their 20-day moving average, or even their 10-day moving average, for that matter. They're well under. So this looks to me like it's showing greater relative strength compared to a lot of crypto assets. It's had a nice correction off of the top, and I think that it's in a really good sort of buy zone. And so I'm going to throw another trade...

on this one. And this one actually, unlike the last one we looked at, whereas it has gone up since yesterday, this one actually went down a little bit. So the setup is in fact even better because it's got a little bit tighter of an invalidation level now. So if we kind of use this support level as the stop level and the entry is here and just based on the success that it's had over

over the last several months, I figure there's, you know, it would at least get back to the top of its range. But honestly, I think, you know, a doubling of the current price up to around the $12 level is well within the cards too. So if we look at it,

right about here like so, this is an amazing risk to reward because I think if it breaks down below this, that'll quickly invalidate the trade, but we can set a really, really tight stop here. And that gives us a 7.8 to one risk to reward ratio basically. So, and I think that again, $12, a doubling roughly,

not even quite, is again, well within the cards. Now I know the market cap is already pretty high on this one and it's only got so many more 2Xs left. I mean, if we kind of scroll back here, we can see it's done several of these massive runs and you got to wonder at some point, it's not going to keep 2Xing. But I do think that just based on what's going on with it fundamentally and the fact that, you know, everything has been in a lull, I think it can easily get back up again to the top of this range and then, you know, just...

another 50% more or whatever from there. And you got your two X. So again, just, I think this is kind of a pretty no brainer trade for me. And I think that the risk to reward level with the tight invalidation is just makes it just makes it perfect right now. So a good entry on them. Yeah. Oh, Chris and I host a show every Monday where we do more in-depth TA and we've, we, Chris has charted quite a bit. And every time we charted, I'm always just,

very surprised at how well it's holding up and how well it does during drawdowns and when the market is pumping, how well it does. So Ohm right now, I think it's about 25% from its all time high. It leads the real world asset space as well. So we know that was a bullet, very bullish narrative heading into this market. So definitely a great, great call there, Chris. So

We are going to get to some questions now because this first question comes from Ben. And Ben, I apologize if I'm butchering your last name here, but Ben Buzanowski has a question about the FOMC. So let's hope these don't wreck all of our trades, right? Yeah, no, right. FOMC, I believe, is...

Probably going to come out right after this show airs. I think it's an hour after the show started. Well, it's in and out, whatever, 50 minutes from now. Yeah, right? So we could look brilliant or just completely wrong in about an hour or so. But Ben wants to know, is this rally into the news as the next event driven?

as the next event driven trade opportunity. So do you think we're, we're kind of in, are, are we seeing coins going up right now because it's a, we're rallying into the news or is this going to be kind of a sell the news event? Do you think, what do you think is going to play out? My, this is obviously just my opinion and everybody's got their own opinion in terms of what's going to happen with the FOMC. I feel like, uh,

I feel like we're not going to get a rate cut today is my gut. I don't think we will. So and I think I think the general consensus probably is that we won't get a rate cut today. So I feel like any surprise would be if we did get a rate cut, we would get a bump to the upside. But if we don't get a rate cut, I don't know that that's going to result in a boom.

you know, reversal. It might result in some volatility, which it almost always does. We'll get some kind of whipsaw type price action up and down, some spikes to both directions. Definitely not something I would recommend trying to trade. I never recommend trying to trade the FOMC because it always whipsaws in both directions and you'll easily get stopped out.

But that said, like I said, I think if we don't get a rate cut, I'm not expecting too much downside. If we do get a rate cut, I do think we could see a unexpected bump because I do think that the consensus is we stay static for today. So in terms of the price bump leading up to today thus far,

I don't know. Maybe it's trying to be priced in. Who knows? I mean, there's some there's been some positive news in the crypto standpoint with like the XRP case getting dropped and that that resulted in a bump, certainly for that asset. And I think that that might have trickled down through the rest. But also stocks are up today, too. So who knows? They're not up a ton. So I don't know that it's a product of the FOMC necessarily.

Yeah, I could see us not getting a rate cut either. And it just kind of continuing this kind of sideways chop that we've been seeing and just kind of more of the same. So I guess time will tell, but we'll see. Another trade I wanted to highlight, this one gets put on our platform quite a bit.

which is buy deep. So we have several of our members that are really big into deep. And I wanted to highlight this trade as well, because it is the liquidity layer on suite. And, you know, usually new tokens tend to do well during bull markets with that speculative pump that they receive.

So I think because of that, Sui will perform very well this cycle. And I like Deep as a beta play to that. I think it has the potential to see some very nice gains off the back of that. So right now, Deep is down about three and a half times from its all-time high. About three and a half X to back to its all-time high. So I do like that as a trade to get back to its all-time high and then some.

I know this isn't a like-for-like comparison, but I see what Radium did last cycle, and it jumped all the way up to about $16 off the strength of Solana. And I really do like that trend for Deep off of the strength of Sui. They do have those similarities in that they are liquidity providers. So I think, hey, why can't Deep see something similar to that? So that's my shout-out for Deep as always.

Well, guys, on this show, we are going to be taking questions. So if you guys ever have any questions, you can just throw them into the chat and we'll get to, you know, whatever we can here.

I do also want to mention that Chris will be releasing a Crypto Academy course next month, going in depth on how to use TradingView. Chris, like I mentioned, does TA every Monday and he really dives into the charts and he's going to show you our Crypto Academy course, just exactly how he does that. Maybe some of his favorite indicators and how he looks at trades.

So, Chris, I think we're definitely looking forward to seeing that come out next month. Yeah, I had a fun time doing that. I basically just kind of literally went through all of the functions on, you know, how to how to pull up charts, how to how to make custom charts, how to, you know, what all the not all the drawing tools, but a lot of the common drawing tools and and just a lot of the basic functions. Because I know when I when we do the show in particular, obviously, I've been using this program for decades.

seven or eight years now. And I'm just jamming through clicking buttons and doing stuff left and right. And, and, and it's hard to like follow along if you're new to the program, the trading view app rather. And so I wanted to just kind of slow everything down and show, you know, what all these buttons are and how you, you

you know, how you access all these functions basically and what they do. So, so yeah, I dug into it quite a bit and had a good time doing it. I went on for probably over an hour, just kind of flicking around and showing what everything is. So yeah, it was fun.
