On Friday, Juan Villaverde told you about a significant convergence of indicators and geopolitical developments.
And the impact on crypto in the near term is massive.
On April 7, President Trump announced a two-week ceasefire in the Iran War. This date is also when the Japan M2 liquidity indicator suggested a near-term low would hit.
The next key date pinged by Japan M2?
A high on April 21. Right as that ceasefire comes to an end.
That means, for the next two weeks, the heavy geopolitical headwinds and near-term cycle pressure will be lifted.
And Bitcoin (BTC, “B+”) should be able to finally act on the technical strength it’s been building recently.
But April 7 also brought another development. One that can help you narrow your focus over this critical period.
Anthropic — the AI company behind Claude — launched Project Glasswing, a cybersecurity initiative backed by major technology and financial institutions.
The program demonstrates the growing capabilities of advanced AI. And it sets a benchmark for decentralized AI projects that sit directly in the path of the next wave of AI innovation.
For traders, the signal is clear: You’ll want to keep a close eye on any decentralized AI projects on your watchlist. And have your targets ready.
For Juan’s Weiss Crypto Investor members, those targets are set and enforced by his Crypto Timing Model.
It takes out the guesswork — and much of the legwork — to make maximizing returns and avoiding pitfalls easier.
To see how it plans to trade this market, you can watch Juan’s latest briefing here.
And in the meantime, here are this week’s updates from the rest of your Weiss crypto team …
Crypto Now Runs on a New Engine
This past crypto cycle has looked different from previous ones. In his update, tech expert Jurica Dujmovic dives into the change in investor strategy at the heart of this shift, and just how that will impact price action going forward.
And he lays out how short-term traders will need to adjust their own crypto plans if they want to stay ahead of the crowd.
Morgan Stanley Enters the Bitcoin ETF War
A TradFi giant — and one of the most reluctant asset managers to enter the crypto craze — has just announced a new crypto product. One that’s poised to see potential demand reach $180 billion!
Altcoin expert Mark Gough unpacks what the near-term impact will be on Bitcoin, what cryptos are likely going to benefit next and the deeper shift this move signals to investors.
Your Crypto Wallet Is Getting Smarter
Many headlines have focused on TradFi adoption and regulatory developments. As they should! But lost in that hype have been DeFi’s latest moves.
Like the push toward smarter software wallets. This latest generation isn’t just about self-custody and security. Now, they aim to combine AI assistance and smart contract execution to make your DeFi strategy as easy as dictating your intent.
These new features are still in beta testing, so DeFi expert Marija Matić urges caution when testing them out. But if successful, they could bring an invaluable edge to your on-chain investing.
But that’s all for this week. Be sure to look to your inbox tomorrow for your next Weiss Crypto Daily update.
