Puz
— CEO, Bull Market TV
Summary
Puz, CEO of Bull Market TV, reviews Bitcoin and the broader crypto market. He argues the four-year cycle is becoming less relevant, expects a first-half bull market with BTC possibly reaching $250k, and highlights the $100k 52-week moving average as a key tactical level. He also discusses the dollar index, Russell 2000 liquidity signal, Ethereum/Solana/Ripple, Bitmine's ETH accumulation, and a top-market-cap crypto allocation strategy.
- Bitcoin's four-year cycle is questioned; liquidity and DXY are emphasized instead.
- Puz sees BTC downside near $80k and upside near $250k in H1.
- The 52-week moving average around $100k is framed as a key breakout line.
- A weaker dollar and Russell 2000 breakout are cited as liquidity-positive signals.
- Ethereum is favored over Solana if only one platform coin is chosen, though a 50/50 split is acceptable if holding both.
- RLUSD adoption is seen as a long-term XRP catalyst, with near-term direction still dependent on Bitcoin.
- Puz recommends concentrating on large-cap crypto assets rather than small altcoins.
Ideas
Bitcoin H1 bull market, target $250k.
Puz argues the four-year halving cycle is likely losing relevance: if Bitcoin does not exceed roughly $180k-$200k by January-February, its moves are better explained by dollar-index weakness and global liquidity than by the halving cycle. He expects the bull market to resume in H1 next year, sees downside near $80k and upside near $250k, and believes old whales have sold to institutional/ETF holders who still need profits.
Dollar index likely falls next year.
Puz expects the dollar index to fall next year because the US can still cut rates while Europe cannot cut much further and Japan may raise rates, which should weaken the dollar and support global liquidity.
Russell 2000 breakout signals broader liquidity.
Russell 2000 finally broke above its prior high after lagging while Nasdaq made repeated highs. Puz views this as evidence liquidity is reaching smaller/riskier assets, and notes that once Russell 2000 breaks a high it often continues rising, giving a positive read-through for Bitcoin/liquidity.
Ethereum price rise only delayed.
Ethereum's underperformance is not due to a fatal flaw; Puz believes good news is delayed and ETH will rise later. He cites Bitmine's aggressive ETH accumulation and staking, its 5% supply target, and its willingness to keep buying despite losses as strong support. He also argues ETH's ecosystem is far larger than Solana's or Tron's and its network has never shut down, making ETH his preferred platform coin over SOL if choosing only one.
Hold Solana with Ethereum 50/50.
Because crypto information is less transparent and smaller alts are more lottery-like, Puz recommends concentrating on top market-cap coins excluding stablecoins and BNB (not listed on Upbit): BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, TRON, DOGE, and ADA. He suggests keeping over 90% including cash in BTC/ETH/XRP/SOL and splitting only the remaining 10% across the rest.
RLUSD adoption supports long-term XRP upside.
Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin adoption is a major long-term catalyst: if RLUSD is widely used for international remittance and bridge currencies, XRP would be structurally required and potentially locked up, supporting price. Near-term, XRP still depends on Bitcoin rising and breaking to new highs, and RLUSD adoption will take time, but Puz personally holds XRP and views the setup positively.
