And we are live! So hopefully, you caught that little blurb on what's going on on Robinhood and their meme coins.
Pretty funny and pretty creative and smart, actually. But welcome back to another edition of Trading the Markets. I'm Bijan Maleki, and of course, we're joined by Kris Bullock, aka Blasto Plas. Got a show for you today. Obviously, the market did not start the week the way we ended. So we're going to be talking about that. Kris is going to dive into a whole bunch of charts, dive through what's been going on. And of course, as always, if you guys have any questions, drop them into the live chat, and we will get to as many as we can. Kris, happy Wednesday. What's going on?

**Kris Bullock** (0:58)
Yeah, good stuff, actually. I mean, yeah, slow week, but there's a lot to talk about. There was some really good closes to the month. And since we're, you know, the first show of the month, day two of the month, I want to spend a lot of time talking about what happened last month and some key levels that we broke through and, you know, quite a few good things happened. So it's not all doom and gloom. And really, this week isn't even that bad. So yeah, I'm positive right now. Things are good. Things are actually looking good. So don't panic yet.
Before we get into that, though, I wanted to talk a little bit about the note I posted on the website. It was last week now, I think, yeah, or so.
Kind of talking about my story that I've gone through with Real Vision, how I started, you know, as a not whatever lowly member. I was just a regular guy, you know, kind of been going through this journey. And over the last six months, I have gone through this process and now I am officially a hedge fund manager, which is very exciting and it's a wild new chapter for me in my life. And yeah, I just kind of wanted to share that if you guys missed the note. It's not going to change anything as far as what I'm doing with Real Vision. I'm still going to keep doing that, doing the shows, doing the reports and everything. But yeah, I've got a little bit more going on now outside of this and yeah, things are exciting. So yeah, I don't know.

**Bijan Maleki** (2:25)
Obviously, congratulations. The community, I think a lot of people did see your note.

**Kris Bullock** (2:30)
Yeah.

**Bijan Maleki** (2:30)
Andreas actually shared it on Twitter as well, or X.
So obviously, and I think a lot of people were happy, they were supportive. So obviously great community vibes that we have. And that's kind of like, that's what's great about Real Vision in general. We have, and we always talk about how our Hive mind is second to none. We have some of the most advanced investment minds, I guess, in retail, if you will. And this is just another example of it. We have a lot of members, obviously, Kris included, that are just doing great research and sharing great information. And I've been at Real Vision for four years now, and Kris was one of the first people I met in the discourse. I've known him for four years now, so it's been great to see this journey firsthand. Go from a member just posting in the discourse, sharing things, to having a show and talking about charts. And he's also evolved as a technical analyst as well. I think from four years ago to where you are today, I think your strategy and just your skills in general are very different. I think that's a testament to your hard work and a testament to the community as well, always giving ideas and feedback to always improve things.
Before I joined Real Vision, I do have to say, I was part of the Wall Street Bets community. And you would have been an adversary of mine, because you know how they feel about the hedge funds and the hedgies. So it's funny to see. But congrats, and we'll be looking forward to this journey.

**Kris Bullock** (4:05)
Thank you. Appreciate that. And I got to say too, yeah, really, if it weren't for Real Vision, and the Discord too, in particular, I've learned so much from this Discord community, just being able to bounce ideas off of each other and share charts and share our analysis and everything. And so thanks to you guys for sure, for hanging with me all this time and being a part of that journey. So yeah.
Anyway, all right, let's get to it here. So again, I did say I wanted to start on the monthly timeframe. So here we are looking at Bitcoin on the monthly time frame. Nice big green candle. There's a couple of things that stand out to me here that I want to highlight. First of all, one, this is the highest monthly close that we've had since this bear market started. We had this kind of run up back here in, you know, in the spring that you guys remember, I'm sure, when a lot of people thought maybe at that time, the bear market was over and we were back on. Not quite yet. And then we got this big, huge flush out in June.
