Bitcoin Analysis
- Weekly Chart: The Supertrend indicator remains green, suggesting a larger bull market. However, the presenter warns of a potential bearish divergence, with a possible lower high on the RSI, indicating a potential cool-off or pullback in the next 1-2 months.
- 3-Day Chart: A bearish crossover in the MACD indicator is imminent, suggesting bearish price action.

- 4-Hour Chart: Bitcoin is continuing to play out a massive bearish divergence. The presenter speculates that the recent drop was accelerated by liquidation events and tariff announcements, potentially wiping out major players in the crypto market.
Ethereum Analysis
- 3-Day Chart: ETH has broken below a key support area. The presenter indicates that it's a 'make or break' moment. Failure to reclaim the support area could lead to a larger bearish move over the next few months, with a target of around 3,000 and 2,800 if the price breaks below it.
- 8-Hour Chart: The presenter expects choppy sideways price action in the short term. A bullish divergence is starting to confirm, potentially leading to a slight bounce.
Altcoin Analysis (Solana, XRP, Chainlink)
- Solana (2-Day Chart): Solana has broken below the previous low, indicating a change in trend. The presenter suggests a crucial area to reclaim is between 190-200. Support is at 170, with potential targets at 156 and 143-146 if 170 is broken. A stabilization is expected in the short term.
- XRP (Weekly Chart): XRP is playing out a massive bearish divergence.
- XRP (Daily Chart): The presenter warned about a drop towards $2, which has occurred. The price might stabilize in the short term.
- Chainlink (Daily Chart): Chainlink was hit hard by the drop, with a price falling to $8. The presenter anticipates potential news of institutional players being wiped out. Support is at 1740-1750, with further support at 1520-1570 if 1740-1750 is broken. Resistance is at $19-20. The presenter expects stabilization and choppy sideways price action in the short term.
Arbitrage Opportunity: Crypto Funding Rates
Josh identifies a significant arbitrage opportunity in crypto funding rates, specifically with Solana (SOL). He highlights a large difference between negative funding rates on exchanges like Binance, OKX, and Bybit, and positive funding rates on Bitex. He is exploiting this by being delta neutral: holding equal size long and short positions in SOL on different exchanges to profit from the funding rate differential. He emphasizes that this opportunity is time-sensitive and will likely diminish as more people participate.

Market Analysis and Crypto Arbitrage Opportunity
Josh provides an update on the crypto market, emphasizing the recent crash and highlighting a significant arbitrage opportunity in funding rates. He maintains a generally bearish outlook, although he anticipates short-term stabilization and choppy price action for some assets. The main focus is on exploiting the funding rate arbitrage, particularly with Solana (SOL).
Bitcoin Analysis
- Weekly Chart: Bitcoin is potentially reconfirming a bearish divergence, with a higher price high but a potential lower high in the RSI. This could lead to a "cool-off" period or a larger pullback in the next 1-2 months.
- 3-Day Chart: Approaching a bearish crossover in the MACD, which is losing bullish momentum. This usually leads to bearish price action.
- Daily Chart: The chart is repeating a "top signal" similar to the beginning of the year before the crash, which is concerning. Support is at roughly $107,000. Breaking this level could cause a larger pullback, potentially down to $100,000 or even $98,000.
- 4-Hour Chart: Continues to show a bearish divergence. The recent drop was accelerated by liquidation events and tariff announcements.
Ethereum Analysis
- 3-Day Chart: ETH has broken below a key support area (between $3,900 and $4,100), and is waiting for confirmation in terms of candle closes. Failing to reclaim this area would form a larger bearish structure that could cause a bearish move over the next several months. Next major target would be around $3,000 and then $2,800.
- 8-Hour Chart: Oversold conditions are present, with a potential for a slight bounce or choppy sideways price action in the short term. A bullish divergence is forming, suggesting a temporary break from bearish action.
Solana Analysis
- 2-Day Chart: Solana has clearly broken below the previous low, confirming bearish price structure. The crucial area to reclaim to start being bullish again is between $190 and $200. The price went down to around $170, as expected. If $170 is broken, expect a move down towards around $156, and most likely towards $143-$146.
- Short-term: Expecting choppy sideways price action in the short term.
XRP Analysis
- Weekly Chart: Playing out a massive bearish divergence, as warned about in previous videos.
- Daily Chart: Price has dropped towards $2, as predicted.

- Resistance: Approximately $19.50 to $20.
- Short-term: Expecting the market to stabilize with choppy sideways price action.
Funding Rates Arbitrage Opportunity
Josh highlights a major arbitrage opportunity in crypto funding rates, specifically focusing on Solana (SOL). The arbitrage opportunity is based on the difference in funding rates between different exchanges. He is exploiting this opportunity by going long on Bybit and short on Bitex, earning funding fees.
- Bybit: Long $500,000 SOL position with negative funding rates.
- Bitex: Short $500,000 SOL position with positive funding rates.
- This strategy is delta neutral, meaning profit is made from funding rate differentials, regardless of price movement.
- Josh warns that this opportunity is time-sensitive and the more people who take the trade, the faster the arbitrage gap will close.
