Crypto Rundown: Technical Analysis on the Bitcoin Dip and JP Morgan Launches Stablecoin
In this episode of the Crypto Rundown Brendan and Tevo break down Bitcoin’s sharp move below 100K and a Fear & Greed Index reading near historic panic levels, arguing that, historically, these zones have been great long-term entry points even if more short-term downside is possible. You walk through Bitcoin and Ethereum technicals, highlighting broken support, 200-day moving averages, and RSI setups while stressing caution on leverage but continued dollar-cost averaging for long-term bags.
On the fundamental side, you cover JP Morgan’s JPM Coin on Base, Tom Lee’s aggressive Ethereum target, record-breaking Solana and XRP ETF launches, and a big outflow day from Bitcoin ETFs that doesn’t match the overwhelmingly bullish institutional trend. You wrap with a discussion of underperforming fund managers, potential “stimmy” and Trump baby accounts, and a reminder that despite the chop and pain, crypto isn’t going anywhere—and everyone is still secretly waiting for altcoin season.
Chapters:
- 00:00 — Intro, show is back, and framing the episode around big downside volatility and Bitcoin breaking below 100K.
- 01:20 — Fear & Greed Index deep dive, comparisons to past panic moments (tariffs crash, COVID) and what that’s meant historically.
- 04:40 — Macro backdrop recap: tariffs, recession fears, and why this drawdown feels different from February even with similar fear readings.
- 07:10 — Bitcoin technical analysis: 200-day moving average breaks, failed breakouts, support/resistance zones, and what levels to watch next.
- 11:50 — Ethereum technicals: similar breakdown structure, potential targets in the 2.7–2.8K zone, and why Brendan is cautious short term but accumulating long term.
- 15:10 — How Brendan is using RSI and higher lows in oversold territory to time entries, plus his micro bull run TA course + live sessions.
- 18:05 — JP Morgan’s JPM Coin launches on Base; Jamie Dimon’s “capitulation” and what it signals about big-bank adoption of crypto rails.
- 20:20 — Tom Lee’s ultra-bullish Ethereum call (9–12K by January), how that ties into stablecoins/tokenization, and your reaction to how realistic that is.

- 27:10 — Bitcoin ETFs see their second-largest day of outflows ever; discussion of “why the panic?” given how strong the fundamentals still look.
- 30:10 — Underperforming fund managers, year-end “window dressing,” and how that might create messy price action into Q4 versus a long-term retail mindset.
- 34:00 — Bitwise chart on who really owns Bitcoin, speculation on future government/bank buying, “stimmy”/tariff check chatter, Trump baby accounts, and closing altcoin-season meme + outro.
