Sept 18: Bitcoin Pushes Back Toward $78K as Wall Street Moves Deeper Onchain Sep 18, 2026 24:18 Bitcoin moved back toward $78,000 as spot ETF flows returned to positive territory, although Matt argues the market remains sideways rather than in a confirmed recovery. The bigger structural story is the SEC's new five-year innovation exemption for tokenized U.S. stocks, which requires tokenized shares to carry the same ownership rights as their traditional counterparts. Traditional finance conti

Sept 17: Bitcoin Holds Near $77K After the Fed Hike as Institutional Crypto Keeps Expanding Sep 17, 2026 12:47 Bitcoin remained around $77,000 after the Federal Reserve delivered its widely expected 25-basis-point rate hike, with Matt arguing that the decision itself had already been priced into markets. The more important issue now is weakening demand, including softer ETF flows, on-chain inflows, stablecoin growth and corporate treasury purchases. Matt continues to view Bitcoin as sideways unless it deci

Sept 16: The CLARITY Act Failed. Trump Gave Democrats the Political Opening They Needed. Sep 16, 2026 24:58 The Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act in a 49-50 cloture vote, well short of the 60 votes required. Democrats centered their opposition on ethics concerns surrounding President Trump's crypto businesses, while Republicans argued they had already incorporated 126 substantive Democratic requests. Three Republicans opposed advancement on substantive grounds, while Thom Tillis switched his vote

Sept 15: Bitcoin Slips Below $77K as the 10-Year Breaks 5% and CLARITY Faces Its Big Vote Sep 15, 2026 13:07 Bitcoin slipped below $77,000 as the 10-year Treasury yield moved above 5%, oil remained above $100 and markets heavily priced a 25-basis-point Fed rate hike for Wednesday. ETF flows have also weakened after the large inflows earlier this month. Matt remains cautious, arguing that expensive money, persistent inflation and geopolitical energy pressure create a difficult environment for Bitcoin and

Craig's Biggest Trade This Week Is Staying in Cash Sep 14, 2026 5:51 Craig starts the week largely in cash after last week's CPI and PPI volatility produced a massive Bitcoin whipsaw capable of stopping out traders on both sides of the market. Bitcoin remains consolidated roughly between $76,000 and $82,000, while the total market cap is similarly directionless. With no clean trend or compelling structure, Craig sees no reason to force a trade simply for the sake o

Sept 14: Bitcoin Holds Near $78K as Oil, Yields and AI Fears Hit the Markets Sep 14, 2026 21:33 Bitcoin remains around $78,000 as oil trades above $100, the 10-year Treasury yield flirts with 5% and markets prepare for Wednesday's Fed decision. Matt remains cautious on Bitcoin's near-term outlook and still considers the current movement part of the same broad sideways range until Bitcoin can decisively break through the low $80Ks and establish $80,000 as support. The CLARITY Act also fa

Sept 11: Hot CPI, $100 Oil and 5% Treasury Yields, So Why Did Bitcoin Jump? Sep 11, 2026 15:08 Bitcoin reversed sharply from roughly $76,000 to above $78,000 even as August PPI rose 5.4% year over year, CPI increased 0.4% for the month, oil remained above $100 and the 10-year Treasury yield approached 5%. Matt argues that the rally may reflect markets gaining certainty about the Fed, but he still considers roughly $76K through the low $80Ks the same broad Bitcoin price range rather than evi

Sept 10: Wall Street Is Building on Crypto Rails While Bitcoin Slips Back Toward $77K Sep 10, 2026 15:16 Bitcoin fell toward $76,900 as the 10-year Treasury yield climbed to roughly 4.87%, but the bigger stories are happening around crypto infrastructure. Nasdaq is investing $100 million in Kraken parent Payward, PayPal is working on infrastructure for customized stablecoins, Visa says its stablecoin settlement business has surpassed $20 billion, and MetaMask is preparing to become a standalone compa

Craig Cobb: Bitcoin Needs $82,811 as Altcoins Start Leading the Market Sep 9, 2026 5:20 Bitcoin remains trapped in consolidation, but Craig is watching $82,811 as the critical level that would end Bitcoin's monthly downtrend. The total crypto market cap has already broken its corresponding level around $2.72 trillion, while altcoins are leading with a monthly higher low and higher high. Craig also continues watching Bitcoin's highly cyclical three-month structure, which he

Sept 8: Bitcoin Prints a Golden Cross, but $83K Still Has to Break Sep 8, 2026 16:02 Podcast SummaryBitcoin has printed a golden cross and ETF demand remains strong, but Matt still considers the market sideways until Bitcoin either clears roughly $82,000 to $83,000 or loses $75,000. Oil approaching $100, the 10-year Treasury yield above 4.8%, uncertainty surrounding the Fed and questions about whether ETF demand has altered Bitcoin’s traditional four-year cycle all complicate the

Sept 7: Bitcoin Stalls Below $80K as AI, Quantum Computing and War Reshape the Risk Picture Sep 7, 2026 18:19 Podcast SummaryBitcoin remains below $80,000 as a surprisingly strong August jobs report, a 4.1% unemployment rate, renewed U.S.-Iran fighting and Brent crude near $97 complicate the outlook for interest rates and inflation. Matt also corrects conflicting weekend reports about the military escalation: U.S. officials say Iranian ballistic missiles targeted an American aircraft carrier and destroyer

Sept 4: Bitcoin Broke $80K, But I’m Still Waiting for $82,800 Sep 4, 2026 10:56 Bitcoin briefly reached roughly $81,900 after spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted approximately $731 million in a single day, Treasury yields eased, and Fed Governor Christopher Waller suggested rates could potentially remain unchanged in September. Matt remains cautious, however, because Bitcoin still hasn't cleared the more important resistance around $82,800. A sustained break there could put $90,000 i

Sept 3: Bitcoin’s Road to $90K Runs Through $82,700 Sep 3, 2026 8:54 itcoin is trading around $78K, and the price structure is much healthier than it was earlier this summer. The immediate support is roughly $75,674, the critical trend support is around $71,781-$72K, and the long-term 200-week moving average sits down in the mid-$60Ks. On the upside, Bitcoin still needs to break roughly $82,793 before the chart really opens toward&nbsp

Sept 2: Wall Street Wants Its Own Stablecoin as Bitcoin Miners Keep Pivoting to AI Sep 2, 2026 12:06 Podcast SummaryWall Street's largest banks are preparing their own stablecoin infrastructure while the London Stock Exchange Group and Kraken work toward tokenized UK stocks. Matt looks at whether bank-issued stablecoins can realistically challenge Tether and Circle, why stablecoin-yield rules could give traditional banks a competitive advantage, and how Robinhood's blockchain activity fits into t

Sept 1: Bond Yields Are Squeezing Bitcoin as Strategy Keeps Buying Sep 1, 2026 10:48 Bitcoin remains around $77,000 to $78,000 as rising global bond yields become the biggest macro story for crypto. U.S. Treasury yields are approaching 4.8%, energy prices remain elevated, and markets are increasingly pricing in another Fed rate hike as Kevin Warsh maintains his focus on inflation. ETF buyers did return Monday with approximately $216.7 million in inflows, but Matt argues Bitcoin st

Bitcoin Holds Its Ground While Craig Hunts for Cleaner Trends Aug 31, 2026 6:37 Bitcoin spent last week consolidating after its huge move higher, and Craig sees the lack of a major snapback as a positive sign. The weekly candle finished essentially flat, even after selling following Warsh’s Jackson Hole comments, leaving Bitcoin surprisingly strong but too messy for Craig to trade right now. Instead of forcing a position, he’s waiting for Bitcoin to establish cleaner trend an

August 31: Bitcoin Falls Back Below $78K as AI and Bitcoin Mining Become the Same Infrastructure Story Aug 31, 2026 15:48 itcoin is back below $78,000 after another failed attempt to establish $80K as support, while ETF inflows finally broke their winning streak and Kevin Warsh's Jackson Hole comments increased expectations for tighter monetary policy. Matt explains why Warsh's apparent commitment to returning inflation to 2% could mean higher rates and less liquidity, creating another potential headwind for Bitcoin.

August 28: Bitcoin Still Can’t Hold $80K as AI Infrastructure Creates a New Investment Trade Aug 28, 2026 17:16 Bitcoin got as high as roughly $81,300 overnight and still couldn't maintain $80K. The battle is getting clearer. ETF demand remains strong, with another $242 million entering U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs Thursday and roughly $3 billion arriving during nine consecutive positive sessions, but traders keep taking profits above $80K. The real breakout probably requires Bitcoin to turn $80K into s

August 27: Bitcoin Is Still Fighting $80K, but the Fed Could Change the Story Aug 27, 2026 15:00 Bitcoin finally broke $80K, but it could not hold it. That makes today's price action a rejection, not a confirmed breakout. The good news is that Bitcoin has real demand underneath it: U.S. spot ETFs took in another $232 million Wednesday, extending their positive streak to eight trading sessions and roughly $2.8 billion. The bad news is hotter inflation has markets reconsidering F

August 26: Bitcoin Keeps Bouncing Off $80K. What Will It Take to Break Through? Aug 26, 2026 12:55 Bitcoin keeps bouncing off the $80,000 resistance level, and Matt explains why profit-taking is the biggest obstacle right now. Institutional investors are locking in strong gains, the short squeeze that helped drive the first leg higher is losing momentum, and roughly $6.4 billion in Bitcoin options are set to expire Friday. At the same time, ETF demand remains strong, with about&n

Bitcoin Just Changed the Picture Aug 25, 2026 5:28 Craig says Bitcoin’s 26% weekly move changed the higher-timeframe picture. After weeks of frustrating sideways action, the three-month and six-month charts are now showing structures that have historically appeared near the end of major selling periods. He is not calling the exact bottom, but he believes the market is giving stronger evidence that the next major trend could be higher, es

August 25: Bitcoin Breaks $80K, Gets Rejected, and Now the Real Test Begins Aug 25, 2026 14:43 Bitcoin briefly broke above $80,000, reaching roughly $81,100, before profit-taking pushed it back into the upper $70Ks. Matt explains why $80K remains an important psychological resistance level, with investors who bought higher finally getting opportunities to exit and newer buyers sitting on substantial gains. He argues that a pullback toward $75K or even the low $70Ks would still be

August 22: Bitcoin Hits $79K, but $80K Is the First Real Test Aug 24, 2026 16:32 Bitcoin is pushing against the $80,000 barrier after one of its strongest weeks in months, driven by improving Treasury-market liquidity, nearly $2 billion in Bitcoin ETF inflows, short liquidations, and a fresh wave of FOMO. Matt explains why $80K could be difficult to break and hold as investors who bought at higher prices finally get a chance to exit, while $90K and $100K could c

August 21: Bitcoin Hits $77K as Liquidity Floods Back Into Crypto Aug 21, 2026 15:55 Bitcoin’s rally is accelerating, with BTC climbing toward $78,000 as improving global liquidity, heavy ETF buying, and another massive short squeeze drive the market higher. Matt breaks down roughly $1.6 billion in Bitcoin ETF inflows this week, $3.3 billion in liquidated shorts, and a surge in South Korean retail trading. He also looks at bullish forecasts from Bernstein and Standa

August 20: Bitcoin Rips Above $70K as Global Liquidity and Short Liquidations Hit the Market Aug 20, 2026 15:31 Bitcoin finally broke out, surging above $70,000 as several catalysts hit at once. Matt looks at Trump’s White House meeting with crypto executives, Treasury moves supporting broader liquidity, and a massive short squeeze that wiped out roughly $2.7 billion in bearish positions. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs also brought in about $517 million, while Ethereum, XRP, Solana, Hyperliquid,

August 19: Ripple Raises $275 Million as the SEC Finally Moves on Reg Crypto Aug 19, 2026 6:41 Ripple raised $275 million to expand its U.S. clearing, prime brokerage, and financial-services business, while Metaplanet is bringing its Bitcoin treasury strategy to the U.S. through a deal involving 2,100 BTC and Nasdaq-listed Super League Enterprise.

Bitcoin Liquidity Dries Up as Craig Waits for a Break Below the Range Aug 17, 2026 8:20 Craig says crypto liquidity has dried up dramatically, with Bitcoin stuck inside a month-long range between roughly $62,500 and $65,500 and only a small fraction of tracked trading pairs showing meaningful volume. He remains cautious and wants to see Bitcoin break lower before becoming more aggressive, with $59,000 as the next major area to watch if the current range fails.&nbs

August 17: Bitcoin Stays Flat as ETF Outflows and Thin Liquidity Keep Traders Cautious Aug 17, 2026 7:51 Bitcoin remains stuck near $63,000 as ETF flows turn negative and thin liquidity leaves the market vulnerable to sharper moves if leveraged traders rush for the exits. Matt covers Strategy raising another $333.7 million without buying more Bitcoin, HIVE locking in a major GPU cloud contract, and tokenized stock activity surging as real-world assets continue moving on-chain.&nbs

August 12: Bitcoin Waits for CPI as Harmony Suffers a Major Exploit Aug 12, 2026 3:18 Today’s crypto market is quiet, but it is not calm in a healthy way. Bitcoin is sitting around $64K ahead of the July CPI report, with perpetual trading activity at its lowest level since 2023 and volatility still compressed. The market is waiting for a macro catalyst, but underneath the surface, traders are cautious, altcoins are fragile, and sell pressure from public miners remains a r

August 11: Bitcoin Miners Are Becoming AI Companies, but How Long Will It Last? Aug 11, 2026 13:06 Riot Platforms is making a major shift toward AI infrastructure after signing a 20-year, $9.1 billion agreement with Anthropic covering 191 megawatts at its Rockdale, Texas campus, with expansion options that could dramatically increase the contract's value.

August 10: Strategy Is Selling Bitcoin While Saylor Keeps Preaching Bitcoin Aug 10, 2026 11:00 Bitcoin remains stuck near $65,000 while markets wait for the next major macro signal from CPI and the Federal Reserve.

August 5: Coldcard's Failure Is Becoming a $130 Million Disaster Aug 5, 2026 9:43 Coldcard remains the dominant story as estimates of the hardware wallet exploit continue climbing. Researchers now believe at least 15 attackers were involved, with losses exceeding $100 million and possibly approaching $130 million, affecting roughly 7,300 wallet addresses. Matt argues that companies selling security products should be held responsible when failures

August 4: Coldcard's Wallet Failure Is a Reminder That Self-Custody Isn't Risk-Free Aug 4, 2026 14:15 Coldcard is at the center of the crypto conversation after a flaw in its seed-generation process reportedly allowed attackers to brute-force wallet seed phrases, ultimately draining an estimated 1,367 Bitcoin, worth roughly $88.6 million, from around 4,500 addresses.

Craig Cobb: Bitcoin Is Drifting Lower, But the Best Trading Opportunities May Be Ahead Aug 3, 2026 8:10 Craig says Bitcoin is still grinding lower, but not with enough momentum to create consistently strong trading conditions. The market remains trapped between roughly $59,000 and $65,000, with most major cryptocurrencies either drifting sideways or producing only weak trends. Cardano is one of the clearer long setups after gaining more than 14% last week, while Hyperliquid continues to stand out on

August 3: Strategy Sells More Bitcoin Aug 3, 2026 12:26 Strategy sold another 1,638 Bitcoin for roughly $105 million, while also raising about $290 million through common stock sales and maintaining billions in cash to cover preferred dividends.

July 31: The Next Bitcoin Crash Will Test Whether You Actually Believe Jul 31, 2026 14:44 Bitcoin remains stuck near $64,000, but Matt focuses on the harder question: what happens when the next crash comes with a believable reason that Bitcoin is actually broken? He considers a future quantum-computing or security scare that could drive Bitcoin into four-digit territory and argues that the best historical buying opportunities have usually appeared when fear felt existential. The challe

July 30: Prediction Markets on Robinhood Jul 30, 2026 12:48 Robinhood generated more second-quarter revenue from prediction-market contracts than from either crypto or equities trading, showing how quickly event contracts are becoming a major business line.

July 29: Bitcoin Miners Are Becoming AI Companies Jul 29, 2026 12:00 Core Scientific is rapidly shifting from Bitcoin mining toward AI data-center infrastructure after reporting $164.2 million in second-quarter revenue and announcing a major AMD partnership. Matt argues that this transition is likely temporary. AI customers want computing costs to fall, while Bitcoin mining continues rewarding additional hash power, so miners may eventually move back toward Bitcoin

July 28: Crypto Exchanges Are Shrinking Jul 28, 2026 10:09 Crypto markets remain sluggish, with Bitcoin drifting around $63,000 as trading activity continues to weaken. Matt argues that the recent wave of exchange closures and layoffs—including BitMEX, BitMart, Momentum Labs, Storage Labs, and workforce reductions at Uphold—reflects a maturing industry rather than a crisis. As retail speculation fades and trading volumes decline, he believes only exchange

July 27: Bitcoin Stalls at $65,000 as the Market Turns Mixed Jul 27, 2026 7:58 Craig sees a mixed and largely directionless crypto market, with Bitcoin repeatedly struggling to move decisively above $65,000.

Craig is staying cautious and would rather wait for a confirmed breakout or a clean rollover than force trades in a marke

Matt covers Poolin’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Bitcoin treasury companies selling holdings to repay debt and fund operations, and another likely delay for the CLARITY Act as traditional banks push back against yield-bearing stablecoin products that could threaten their business models. The episode also ex

July 23: Bitcoin Faces Macro Pressure as ETFs Keep Buying Jul 23, 2026 17:31 Bitcoin remains caught between strong ETF demand and an increasingly difficult macroeconomic environment. Matt explains how rising Treasury yields, the possibility of additional Federal Reserve rate hikes, expensive equity valuations, and a weakening housing market are all competing for investor capital. Despite those headwinds, spot Bitcoin ETFs have attracted more than $1 billion over the past w

July 21: Bitcoin ETFs Extend Their Inflow Streak Jul 21, 2026 16:55 Bitcoin moved back above $66,000 as U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a fifth straight day of inflows, bringing roughly $727 million into the market over that stretch.

He remains long Litecoin after a clean daily breakout and is watching for a possible pullback and bullish continuation.

July 20: Strategy Keeps Raising Cash While Regulators Race the Clock Jul 20, 2026 12:31 Strategy's latest stock sale led today's discussion after the company raised another $163 million without purchasing additional Bitcoin, increasing its cash reserves while maintaining more than 843,000 BTC on its balance sheet.
