0:00
ever get that feeling like the crypto
0:02
market's just taking off and uh you're
0:04
scrambling oh absolutely bitcoin goes
0:07
nuts Ethereum jumps suddenly there all
0:09
these coins you've never even heard of
0:11
it's a lot yeah information overload is
0:13
real totally and that's why we're here
0:15
right to try and cut through some of
0:16
that noise exactly so today we're doing
0:19
a deep dive we're looking at Bitcoin
0:21
looking at Ethereum mainly through the
0:23
eyes of uh Carl
0:25
Runfeld you know the moon he's a pretty
0:28
well-known analyst been around a while
0:29
right so you're listening because you
0:31
want to get a handle on what's actually
0:33
moving the market and well you want that
0:35
insight now so our mission today unpack
0:38
why Bitcoin shot past $100 K figure out
0:42
what's up with Ethereum and kind of get
0:44
a sense of what a trader like Runfeld is
0:46
watching and we're basing this mostly on
0:48
a recent Cointelegraph interview with
0:50
him the title was something like uh $300
0:53
K Bitcoin this year carl Moon says it's
0:56
coming yeah saw that one pretty punchy
0:58
title set some high expectations
1:01
definitely so let's dig into it okay
1:03
first up Bitcoin back over six figures
1:08
feels like just yesterday we were
1:09
wondering if it holds $60k right and
1:12
Runfield he's been bullish on Bitcoin
1:14
for ages i mean he was calling for big
1:16
numbers even when it was way down like
1:18
around three grand seriously yeah wow so
1:21
what's underpinning his confidence now
1:23
what's he seeing well it's interesting
1:25
and he kind of blends the long-term view
1:27
with the uh the immediate signals
1:30
fundamentally he keeps pointing back to
1:31
the basics like the blockchain tech
1:33
itself yeah the tech the havingss you
1:36
know where the new supply gets cut and
1:38
just the fact that it's scarce
1:41
digitally scarce that having aspect
1:43
seems huge less new Bitcoin entering the
1:45
market exactly each having creates this
1:47
sort of pre-programmed supply shock
1:49
doesn't it yeah if demand is there which
1:51
lately it really seems to be then uh the
1:54
price naturally has to adjust upwards he
1:56
sees this as a wellestablished pattern
1:58
playing out again so the long-term
2:00
scarcity in havings that's the
2:01
foundation but what about you know right
2:03
now all these headlines about big
2:05
institutions ETFs right the
2:07
institutional adoption piece how much
2:09
does that play into his actual trading
2:11
is he trading the news that's where his
2:14
trader mindset kicks in he definitely
2:15
sees the impact new companies adding
2:18
Bitcoin to treasuries the huge flows
2:20
into the ETFs even states like New
2:22
Hampshire are looking at it okay but for
2:24
actually opening a trade he leans much
2:26
more on technical analysis the charts ah
2:29
okay so not just chasing headlines about
2:32
tariffs or you know some random tweet
2:34
he's looking at the price action itself
2:36
precisely he sees news as well often
2:38
unpredictable noise in the short term
2:40
he'd rather find patterns key support
2:43
and resistance levels on the chart to
2:45
time his entries makes sense control
2:47
what you can control sort of yeah he
2:49
actually mentioned putting on a a pretty
2:52
big $12 million Bitcoin long recently on
2:55
Bybit 12 million whoa and he said that
2:57
was driven by the technicals lining up
2:59
with his overall bullish view not just a
3:01
whim okay that's serious conviction
3:03
based on the charts so what are those
3:05
charts telling him for Bitcoin like in
3:07
the next few weeks his short-term target
3:10
based on that analysis is somewhere in
3:12
the uh $120,000 to $130,000 range wow
3:17
okay so potentially another leg up soon
3:19
if the patterns hold yeah that's what
3:21
he's watching for contingent on the
3:23
technicals of course which leads us to
3:25
that big number from the interview title
3:27
$300,000
3:29
Bitcoin this year is that still his main
3:32
call it seems to be yeah he ties it back
3:34
to those longer cycles the sort of
3:36
four-year rhythm crypto seems to follow
3:38
right the having cycles exactly and he
3:40
references models like uh plan B's stock
3:44
to flow ah yeah the S2F model gets a lot
3:47
of debate but it has tracked
3:49
historically to some degree it has and
3:51
Runfeld seems to think despite the
3:52
critics that model and the historical
3:54
pattern after havingss still provide a
3:57
pretty strong basis for expecting a
3:59
significant peak this cycle so it's not
4:01
just a guess he's grounding it in these
4:03
models and past performance and he's
4:05
putting his money where his mouth is
4:06
right isn't most of his crypto in
4:08
Bitcoin oh yeah he stated I think around
4:10
90% of his crypto portfolio is Bitcoin
4:13
90% okay that's belief definitely
4:15
underscores his conviction and he also
4:17
pointed out look Bitcoin is right near
4:18
its old all-time high if it breaks
4:21
through that decisively then things can
4:22
move fast he thinks so he mentioned
4:25
potentially seeing that $120 K level
4:27
pretty quickly if we get a strong break
4:29
of the previous highs soon makes sense
4:31
breaking resistance often leads to a
4:33
quick move but is he just going to hold
4:35
all the way to $300 K or does he have a
4:38
plan to you know take some profits he
4:41
actually talked about that said he's
4:42
considering uh cashing out some Bitcoin
4:44
if it hits maybe the $150 to $200 range
4:48
oh interesting into what tangible stuff
4:51
apparently real estate maybe some cars
4:53
watches you know locking in some gains
4:56
into physical assets smart de-risking a
4:59
bit what about the inevitable downturn
5:01
the next bare market does he see Bitcoin
5:03
crashing hard again he expects it to
5:05
come back below 100K yeah that seems
5:08
likely in any major crypto bare market
5:11
sure but he doesn't seem to think it'll
5:12
go drastically lower than that and
5:14
interestingly right now he sees this
5:17
period as a fantastic buying opportunity
5:20
for Bitcoin and alts for both yeah for
5:23
this cycle at least okay let's switch to
5:25
alts then ethereum's been waking up
5:28
breaking $2,000 again recently what's
5:31
his take there yeah ETH has had a nice
5:33
move he pointed to a couple of things
5:35
the uh the Pectra upgrade went smoothly
5:38
which is good for the network
5:39
fundamentals right and he's actually
5:41
been calling for people to buy Ethereum
5:43
for a while now even when it was looking
5:45
weaker so his optimism isn't new it's
5:47
not just chasing the recent pump not at
5:49
all he seems pretty confident that the
5:51
downtrend for Ethereum is over and we're
5:54
heading for higher highs he feels like
5:56
the bottom is probably in especially
5:58
after seeing this recent positive price
6:00
action and what kind of levels is he
6:02
thinking for Ethereum this cycle if
6:04
Bitcoin's hitting $300 his range for
6:07
Ethereum was uh pretty wide but bullish
6:10
something like 10,000 to $15,000 per ETH
6:14
10 to 15,000 wow that's a huge jump from
6:17
here what's the logic a big part of it
6:19
is relative value he basically thinks
6:21
Ethereum is uh undervalued compared to
6:23
Bitcoin right now based on their
6:25
historical price ratio ah the ETHBTC
6:28
ratio it has been lagging a bit exactly
6:31
he expects ETH to play catch-up pretty
6:33
strongly during this bull run and was
6:35
there a technical signal too i think he
6:37
mentioned something about a chart level
6:38
yeah he specifically mentioned Ethereum
6:40
breaking above a key resistance level he
6:42
called it a yellow line on his chart he
6:44
saw that as a really strong bullish
6:47
confirmation okay and he also said he's
6:49
currently holding an Ethereum long
6:50
position himself and it's nicely in
6:53
profit so he's trading based on that
6:55
conviction too got it but you know
6:57
Ethereum isn't the only game in town for
7:00
smart contracts you've got Salana Sue
7:04
Aptos loads of competitors does he worry
7:07
about that he definitely acknowledges it
7:09
it's a risk he's aware of he even
7:11
mentioned he bought some Sooie himself
7:13
partly as a hedge against that layer 1
7:15
competition risk for Ethereum
7:17
interesting so he recognizes the threat
7:19
yeah and he's been pretty consistent
7:20
over time saying that Ethereum does have
7:22
competitors in a way that he believes
7:24
Bitcoin just doesn't which explains why
7:26
90% of his crypto is Bitcoin he sees it
7:29
as having no real rivals for its
7:31
specific use case exactly that's his
7:33
core thesis and it really shapes how he
7:36
approaches altcoins how so for him
7:39
altcoins are mainly uh trading vehicles
7:42
opportunities to potentially make big
7:44
gains that he can then roll back into
7:46
more Bitcoin they aren't really
7:47
long-term buy and hold forever assets
7:50
for him in the same way Bitcoin is so
7:52
use the alt season to stack more SATs
7:55
basically pretty much his plan as he
7:57
described it is to sell most of his alts
7:59
near the cycle top hopefully at high
8:01
prices and then use those profits for
8:04
Bitcoin and uh potentially income
8:06
generating real estate during the bare
8:08
market very strategic Bitcoin as the
8:10
base layer asset now Renfeld's journey
8:13
itself is pretty interesting right from
8:15
cashier to crypto millionaire has his
8:18
approach changed yeah it's quite the
8:20
story he mentioned that now that he's
8:22
achieved you know a certain level of
8:23
financial freedom his focus is shifting
8:25
a bit more towards personal stuff like
8:27
he's into motorsports music spending
8:30
time with family and also uh focusing
8:32
more on charity work that's great to
8:34
hear using his success for good yeah he
8:37
specifically mentions supporting
8:38
children with disabilities through
8:40
charity something connected to his own
8:42
family experiences it clearly means a
8:44
lot to him that's really admirable
8:46
definitely and while his life priorities
8:48
might be evolving he's still very much
8:50
managing his wealth and navigating the
8:52
markets he talked about the recent uh
8:54
Bybit security issue oh right was he
8:57
affected he said no his funds were okay
8:59
because of how Bybit handled it but he
9:01
also shared that he took a pretty big
9:03
hit on an Ethereum trade recently when
9:06
the price dipped sharply ah so even the
9:10
pros take losses it's not all wins
9:12
absolutely not it's a good reality check
9:14
he even mentioned having a really
9:16
profitable XRP trade earlier but then
9:19
giving a chunk of those profits back
9:21
with that Ethereum loss it shows how
9:22
cyclical things can be you know making
9:25
money giving some back for sure
9:27
volatility is the name of the game and
9:28
his big takeaway from that experience
9:30
his advice was about taking profits
9:32
especially on leveraged trades you got
9:34
to take some chips off the table and put
9:36
them somewhere safer yeah move them into
9:38
less volatile things maybe even outside
9:40
crypto entirely don't just let it all
9:42
ride indefinitely solid advice so for
9:45
someone just starting out now maybe
9:46
feeling that FOMO what's Runfeld's main
9:49
tip number one straight up buy Bitcoin
9:53
as soon as possible he sees that as step
9:55
one the foundation get your base layer
9:57
secure first exactly and then be really
10:00
careful with altcoins he basically said
10:01
jumping into random alts without
10:03
understanding them is uh mostly gambling
10:05
for newcomers harsh but probably true
10:08
for many yeah so his suggestion for
10:10
people new to the space is maybe just
10:12
focus on buying and holding Bitcoin
10:14
maybe some Ethereum and perhaps a few
10:16
carefully chosen alts for the cycle
10:18
don't feel like you have to actively
10:20
trade ho dealing might be the better
10:22
strategy for most probably he admits
10:24
it's super hard to know which specific
10:26
altcoins are going to be the massive
10:28
winners but he did throw out a couple of
10:30
sectors he finds interesting what ones
10:32
crypto gaming and uh AI related crypto
10:35
projects he sees potential there okay
10:38
interesting themes gaming and AI are
10:40
definitely hot topics everywhere finally
10:43
the million-dollar question or maybe the
10:45
$300 question when does he think this
10:49
party ends when's the cycle top he's
10:51
expecting the peak sometime before the
10:53
end of this year before 2025 okay yeah
10:56
and he described the top as likely
10:58
coinciding with like euphoria and
11:00
craziness in the news you know when your
11:02
grandma starts asking about Dogecoin
11:03
again right the classic mainstream mania
11:06
signal does he have a rough time frame
11:08
like Q4 his guess was actually a bit
11:11
earlier maybe around Q3 so somewhere
11:13
like June July August time frame but he
11:15
added the caveat that you know cycles
11:17
aren't perfectly predictable sure sure
11:19
always hard to pinpoint the exact top
11:21
but Q3 this year it's not that far away
11:24
it's really not it implies the big moves
11:26
might happen relatively soon and he's
11:27
sticking with that $300k Bitcoin target
11:30
for that peak he is he said explicitly
11:32
he wouldn't be surprised at all to see
11:34
$300,000 Bitcoin this cycle but probably
11:36
not like a million dollars this year no
11:39
he tempered expectations there said
11:42
anything significantly above $500,000
11:44
this year would surprise him so $300
11:47
case seems like his realistic bullish
11:49
target zone okay got it so wrapping this
11:52
up Carl Runfeld sees Bitcoin's
11:54
fundamentals the having cycle and
11:56
technicals pointing towards significant
11:58
upside targeting $300 K this year he's
12:01
also bullish on Ethereum catching up
12:03
advises newcomers to focus on Bitcoin
12:05
first be wary of altcoin gambling and
12:08
expects this bull run might peak around
12:09
Q3 2024 that's a pretty good summary but
12:12
you know it's super important to
12:13
remember this is just one analyst's view
12:15
a very experienced one sure but still
12:18
just one perspective in a really complex
12:20
market absolutely it's essential point
12:22
his analysis is a valuable data point
12:24
but it's not gospel you the listener
12:26
need to keep doing your own homework
12:27
definitely so as you think about all
12:29
this here's something to chew on if
12:31
these kinds of market moves do happen
12:34
how might that change how you think
12:35
about your own finances or future plans
12:38
and maybe more importantly what other
12:40
questions does this raise for you what
12:41
else do you need to explore in this
12:43
crypto space now yeah it's a fastmoving
12:45
world got to keep learning
