What the Bitcoin Weekly Chart Reveals About the Next Big Move: Are Real World Assets Taking Over?

Tapping Into Crypto

Show Notes

Ted returns from his Brisbane trip to rejoin Pav as digital asset markets settle into a quiet lull.

With global sporting events wrapping up and risk markets catching their breath, they discuss whether this boring sideways action signals that crypto is entering its classic bottoming phase.

In this episode, they break down Bitcoin’s recent slide following Middle East geopolitical tensions and explain why boring markets offer ideal DCA conditions for long-term investors. They contrast Bitcoin’s holding power against tech stocks, noting SpaceX’s 46% post-IPO drop and how cheap AI models like Alibaba’s Qwen 3 are threatening big tech valuations.

Finally, they cover BlackRock’s $70B tokenization expansion, PancakeSwap’s surprising $1B revenue milestone, and a sobering $1.5B retail liquidation event in South Korea.
