TOP 5 Altcoins I AM BUYING

Thursday, 30 July 2026 · 4 min read · Listen to the episode ↗

In this episode the host walks through five altcoin positions being accumulated during what he frames as a late-stage bear market buying window, emphasizing spot entries over leverage.

The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady, prompting Trump to signal continued aggressive economic policy and sending the Dow Jones down 1,000 points. Chip stocks crashed, Asian markets hit circuit breakers, and Bitcoin did not react to the sell-off, which the speaker read as a positive signal for crypto. A red money flow signal on the weekly Bitcoin timeframe using Market Cipher triggered 196 days ago at 89,000 dollars, and the speaker states that historically 196 days from such a signal corresponds to either a market bottom or an imminent sharp drop.

The speaker's technical system flags a serious macro divergence: momentum waves are setting higher lows while price sets lower lows. The bear market high-to-low duration measured 364 days and the top-to-top duration measured 1,435 days, both matching the prior cycle exactly, leading the speaker to conclude the four-year cycle road map remains intact. Because the previous all-time high arrived a few months early, the speaker believes the current cycle lows may also arrive early. Bitcoin dominance has been in control for approximately 1,300 days but recently moved into the red, and the ETH to Bitcoin chart is described as ready for a violent upside move, with ETH already up approximately 20 percent from its identified defense point.

The speaker is moving a large portion of Tether into stablecoins and buying spot positions rather than using leverage, with approximately 20,000 dollars remaining across all trading platforms. The reasoning is that spot accumulation opportunities occur once per bear market while leverage opportunities persist for three years during a bull market. Despite actively shopping for altcoins by scanning the biggest daily losers list, the speaker estimates at least 90 to 95 percent of their crypto holdings remain in Bitcoin.

Tau is described as the speaker's most vigorous new altcoin position and heaviest re-entry into the altcoin sector. Price levels between 100 and 150 are characterized as well-defended, and anything under 200 is considered an acceptable entry. The speaker would remain comfortable holding even if Tau fell to 150 but flags meaningful risk if the AI bubble unwinds. Hyperliquid is approaching 50 dollars and the speaker prefers to wait for a 40 to 45 dollar entry, noting it may need to implement KYC for at least some assets depending on the Clarity Act, though no formal rule has been established. Morpho was purchased in the high 80 cents range and has already reached 1.40 dollars, though a failure of the Clarity Act to advance could pull it back to the 1.50 to 1.61 range. Aerodrome is being watched in the 35 to 40 range with a vibe check anticipated around 37.

Venice token enables token-based API payments as an alternative to high AI model API costs. The speaker views 10 dollars as an automatic buy entry and 8 dollars as an even better entry, noting Venice previously ripped back sharply through 10 dollars after touching a high near 99.92 dollars. ZVCN, entered around 2.0, is a stablecoin infrastructure token focused on business payroll and payments, and the speaker assigns it significant upside if the Clarity Act moves forward, viewing passage as a matter of when rather than if. A surprise passage this week is not expected but would trigger a large rally precisely because the market is not anticipating it.

The speaker exited Dag with approximately a 20 percent loss. Dag is down approximately 98 percent from its highs, the chart is considered destroyed, and the project is viewed as most likely dead despite past government contracts. Polkadot is cited as another failed meta, with its parachain model delivering little and the interoperability narrative largely dead, making a resurgence unlikely given its fall from roughly 55 dollars to approximately 75 cents.

The speaker clarified that their Chainlink entry was made at 7.40 dollars, not 5 dollars, and stated the 7 dollar range represented the upper bound of a prior accumulation zone likely to produce a bounce, while acknowledging Chainlink could dip back into liquidity around 6 dollars. The SpaceX IPO was characterized as classic retail exit liquidity, with the stock down approximately 46 percent from peak and a total drawdown from high to low of 57.9 percent. The speaker cautions that if war escalation worsens or the bear market grinds through the rest of the year, ETH could fall to the lower thousands, and the overall posture remains stacking season rather than short-term trading.
