Bitcoin & Macro Market Analysis - October 7th

The next item is S&P500 Daily Chart.

On daily chart, EMA200 is under the candle bar move. This is really good.

Now, the orange long-term bull trend line works as a resistance line.

The key move last week was the market reaction against US unemployment rate which dropped from 4.2% to 4.1%.

For last month, when US unemployment rate went down from 4.3% to 4.2%, the market took bear move because most investors think FRB would cut 0.25%, not 0.5% rate cut on FOMC.

But, this time, the market took bull move.

This means most investors changed their view to consider lower US unemployment rate as good signal for US economy recovery.

Bitcoin & Macro Market Analysis - July 29th

The next item is $BTC/USDT, the weekly chart.

EMA200 is lower than the candle bar move. This is really good.

Look at the yellow parallel trend line.

The market trend is still inside the bear move.

But, the weekly chart this week is closing as a transitional signal.

This is good.

Considering the weekly candle bars move in previous two weeks, the probability of this transitional signal to bring bull breakout from here is high.

If the bull breakout comes into real, the next price target is around $72,000 which is at the thick purple long-term bear trend line.

Bitcoin & Macro Market Analysis - July 15th

The next item is $BTC/USDT, the monthly chart.

The thick green long-term bull trend line works as a strong resistance line.

0.786 based on Fibonacci Retracement (the price level is around at $57,507) as I marked in the sky-blue circle works as the support line now.

If this monthly candle bar can close higher than the thick blue long-term bear trend line, this will be a strong signal for next bull run.

Two weeks are left to close this candle bar this July.

US SEC approved ETH Spot ETF. But, S-1 approval is still left with no time-limit.

Positive market effect for this approval step is traders cannot take short positions aggressively now because they lost money with this surprising 19b-4 approval, which will trigger alt seasons.

During bull markets, you invest for the bear (lean towards fundamental teams that not only survive but become a dominant market leader) and during bear markets, you invest for the bull (lean towards teams that are highly capable of executing on something really big).
Conduct 3 founder interviews listed on a fund's website to understand what working with them is like. Obviously take into consideration whether they were a lead or follow on investor - etc. But almost always, investors BS pretty hard about their prior involvement with teams.
Easiest way to generate investor interest is to build a product that people talk about and use.

Next best is to be incredibly visible with a public presence pre-launch (good marketing, narrative design, brand building).

Focus on doing either well and investors will either out naturally. It’s their job to do so.
These are known as ‘party rounds’ and I generally advise founders to avoid them as it doesn’t give any single investor any meaningful ownership to actually step in to help when needed.

The exception is when it’s a party round full of strategic investors (often customers or communities) or angels.
Early stage:

Raise as SAFE with pro-rata token rights (for speed and flexibility on future token network composition).

If I were purely focused on product and general execution initially, I'd focus on bringing on a single lead (70%+ of round) + 1-2 checks from small valuation sensitive funds.
There are two components to this question:

1) Would I offer a funding round as a SAFT / 'token only' without equity to a project?

2) Would and when would I structure a funding round with a fixed token network valuation?
Question by @0xekof

Would you offer a fully diluted SAFT instead of a net exercise price from equity to a portfolio company? If so, What's a 'fair' %?
