Summary

Kris Bullock and Bijan Maleki discuss a notable Bitcoin breakout, the technical levels ahead, and the drivers behind it. They also cover the hot privacy-coin narrative, including Monero's sharp rally and overextended chart, plus a community-sourced Monero trade. The tone is constructive on Bitcoin and privacy coins, but cautious on chasing Monero after its rapid move.

  • Bitcoin broke above a horizontal level and set a new daily cycle high.
  • Kris cites softer inflation data, ETF inflows, treasury buying, and Clarity Act progress as supports.
  • Bitcoin faces resistance near $100,000-$103,000 and possible correction toward the $80,000s.
  • A move above $116,000 would strengthen the case for a broader macro uptrend.
  • Privacy coins are framed as a strong 2026 sector theme, not just a flash in the pan.
  • Monero is described as wildly overextended after a roughly 45% two-day rally.
  • Kris advises against chasing Monero and suggests waiting for mean reversion to the 10-day moving average.
  • Bijan highlights a Real Vision community Monero trade as an example of member-generated alpha.
Ideas

Bitcoin bullish despite near-term resistance.
Bitcoin has broken out above a horizontal level, supported by softer inflation data that eased hawkish Fed fears, renewed ETF inflows, ongoing treasury buying, and generally positive regulatory clarity from the Clarity Act. He remains constructive and expects upside momentum, but sees near-term resistance at the $100,000 psychological level and the $103,000 area. A rejection could bring a quick 12-20% correction toward $80,000-$87,000 because the move is late in the 60-day cycle, while a break above $116,000 would confirm a larger macro uptrend.

Monero overextended; wait for pullback entry.
Monero has run roughly 45% in two days and is wildly overextended, trading far above its 10-day moving average and Bollinger bands, with multiple DeMark sell signals. He would not chase it here and would look to take profits; he prefers to wait for a mean-reversion pullback, ideally to the 10-day moving average, as a better entry.
XMR HIGH

Privacy coins should outperform in 2026.
He expects privacy coins to be one of the stronger-performing sectors in 2026, saying the move is not just a flash in the pan. The narrative is driven by the practical functionality of untraceable transfers, speculative hype, and regulatory clampdowns on on-chain activity in Europe, the UK, the EU, and elsewhere, even though the whole sector could see a reset along the way.
