The crypto market bottom is ‘almost in’ — Market Talks chats with trader Korean Jew Crypto

Published at: Nov. 3, 2022

On this week’s episode of Market Talks, we welcome Jake, also known as “Korean Jew Crypto” on Twitter and the founder of “The Trading Dojo,” a platform that provides quality coaching and education to help traders identify profitable trades on their own. 

The wide reaching interview covered KJ’s take on how to trade the Federal Open Markets Committee and Consumer Price Index events, along with his views on how Federal Reserve policy is impacting crypto prices.

According to KJ:

“In regards to what Powell said, and the way the news cycle has been, a few weeks ago I was adamant that something has changed. I was quite bearish and expecting a support break for BTC, ETH and everything else. We got the dip on Friday that swept everyone out of the tight range but it was immediately bought back…Bullard from the Fed had some bullish things to say and we reclaimed the support and held on with nice volume, as well as in stocks. I said to my friends and the dojo, something is different. That was supposed to breakdown but there were buyers there. The market just feels very different.”

When asked about whether or not Dogecoin’s (DOGE) recent 100%+ pump is a one-off or a sign of a wider trend change, KJ said:

“I feel there’s something bigger behind it, personally. When you’re comparing structure, even thorough price rejected at a certain level, it’s actually starting to look quite bullish to me. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a reflation trade where price goes up to like $0.55, comes down and then marks up again.”

KJ suggested that Elon’s new leadership of Twitter “people are speculating that there is going to be some sort of DOGE integration involved. I think it’s a reasonable speculation actually.”

Is the market bottom in?

In regards to a wider turn around in sentiment, investors’ appetite for risk and the crypto market carving out a bottom, KJ explained that DOGE’s recent bullish price action is:

“Showing that there’s a greed element that is there again. In the past the DOGE move would have gotten sold off, somewhat immediately, not the numbers that it did. We might have got a 20% move that was sold off by the end of the day. Litecoin as well also shows greed in the market and risk taking behavior and this risk, in my opinion, is not being taken by “normies” yet. These are more powerful players that are willing to do so.”

The European stock markets and the United States equities markets are both deep in the red on Aug. 22 as investors fear that aggressive rate hikes may not be off the table.

This week, Bitcoin’s (BTC) price took a tumble as a hotter-than-expected consumer price index (CPI) report showed high inflation remains a persistent challenge despite a wave of interest rate hikes from the United States Federal Reserve. Interestingly, the market’s negative reaction to a high CPI print seemed priced in by investors, and BTC’s and Ether’s (ETH) prices reclaimed all of their intraday losses to close the day in the black. A quick look at Bitcoin’s market structure shows that even with the post-CPI print drop, the price continues to trade in the same price range it has been in for …

Bitcoin and Ethereum gave back their gains, but has anything actually changed?
Crypto markets threw a nice head fake this week by rallying into resistance on a “positive” Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, before retracing the majority of those gains right after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell took on a surprisingly hawkish tone during his post-rate-hike presser. The Fed hiked interest rates by 0.50%, which was well within the expectation of most market participants, but the eyebrow-raiser was the Federal Open Market Committee consensus that rates would need to reach the 5%–5.5%+ range in order to hopefully achieve the Fed’s 2% inflation target. This basically threw cold water on traders’ lusty dreams …
