Bitcoin Is Running — But the Market Isn’t 04.05.2026 4:49
Craig’s read right now is pretty straightforward: Bitcoin is still trending higher, printing higher lows and higher highs, but the move doesn’t feel clean or broadly supported. He calls it a “hated rally” — price is moving up, but without strong conviction across the market. The weekly action was messy, volatility spiked, and while Bitcoin has pushed to new highs in this recent leg, he’s watching...

Four Weeks Up… But Is This Still a Downtrend? 27.04.2026 5:18
Craig says Bitcoin is at another critical inflection point after a strong four-week run to the upside, something he hasn’t seen since a true bull phase. Despite the bullish momentum, he’s not convinced this is a full trend reversal. From his perspective, this could still be a rally inside a broader weekly downtrend, especially given the recent sharp sell-off and reappearance of volatile, erratic c...

The $74K Line That Decides Everything 20.04.2026 6:25
Craig lays it out pretty clean: Bitcoin is sitting at a make-or-break level around $74,000, and what happens here likely dictates the next real move. That level used to be major resistance before the last breakout, and now we’re coming back to test it from above. If it holds and we get continuation, you could see a push toward $80K and potentially higher highs. If it fails, we’re likely heading ri...

April 13: World Liberty Financial Scam 13.04.2026 9:38
Matt opens by cutting through the noise. Bitcoin is still sitting in the $70K range, Ethereum around $2,100, and the total market cap hovering near $2.4 trillion. In his view, the market itself hasn’t meaningfully changed, despite the constant swings in sentiment between fear and hype. What has changed is the underlying behavior around the space — and that’s where the real story is. He...
April 10: Bittensor Faces Developer Drama 10.04.2026 8:42

CRAIG COBB: MACRO PRESSURE BUILDING — AND CRYPTO STILL LOOKS WEAK 07.04.2026 6:08
Craig’s view hasn’t changed, but the macro backdrop is starting to catch up to it. With rising geopolitical tension tied to President Trump’s latest deadlines and threats, alongside crude oil ripping higher, he’s expecting a highly volatile stretch across global markets. And in his framework, that matters directly for crypto. Bitcoin is still behaving like a liquidity-driven risk asset, not a hedg...
