Live with Minotaur Trading Systems, June 23rd 2026

and Marcus from the Minotaur team. And yeah, welcome to our weekly updates. We're going to start getting back on the weekly updates. I know we've been a little bit behind on these, uh, doing these—

we do—

so, uh, but we thought it was a good idea to continue doing them. And, uh, Chris is going to be joining us as well now, so How you both going?

Good, doing well.

Awesome.

All right, yeah, some interesting developments in the market. 2026 has been pretty bearish for Bitcoin. However, there has been a lot of action on, on a lot of other assets, and some of the exciting things that we can discuss is what we've actually been doing on our end with our brand new trading application. So the last sort of, I guess, 18 months we've been working on releasing our own trading application which would work directly with the trading algorithms that we developed on TradingView. And yeah, we're really happy to, uh, you know, been really working on, on the release of that. And I can bring that up on the screen and maybe we can talk through it, but, um, Basically, this is what it looks like, uh, inside. We've got our dashboard, uh, where you can link in your exchanges. Here are all the exchanges we can connect with, uh, pretty much every digital asset exchange available, um, from Coinbase to Binance to Kraken to Bitget to Bybit. And then we've also got our signal bot. We can dive in later, which we've done a special collaboration with Blowfin. We're a Blowfin partner. This allows us to execute our new accumulator hedge strategy. And what's really exciting about this, and we can talk about it later, is that we're now able to trade this asset, uh, the accumulator algorithm, on a variety of different assets that aren't crypto, right? These are— well, they're essentially digital derivative products, but we're talking oil, gold, silver, and even some US equities like Nvidia and Tesla. Really exciting. And looking at program application, some things we've got, our native risk manager calculator as well. I've got our trade, which you also— oh, that's in— here we go. That helps you develop strategies when you need them. We also have our calendar. So this is another cool thing that we've been building out, and this is basically the master classes that go along with subscription when you join our application. Education. So what we're going to be doing is adding so much information to what we're doing on a weekly basis to our clients. So we're talking about how to research different markets, advanced risk management classes— Severio is holding some of them, uh, Marcus is holding advanced algo operations classes as well. But alongside that, we've also got our daily onboarding and support as well. So any new clients or existing clients can jump on a basically a free open room every single day and get help from Chris or Severio. Um, so that's, uh, really cool, something that we have to offer. We also have our knowledge section that we're building out. So this essentially means that you can learn everything from scratch and you'll be able to build as many, uh, bots from the algorithms that you have yourself. We've been working on this as well for a few months. Sebastian and Severio and Marcus have all been contributing to this, and we've been building this out slowly. So you can see the articles and the videos that come along with that. So yeah, we've been really, really busy, uh, in the background. And yeah, we're looking forward to, to really pushing forward with the new capabilities that we have. Anything you wanted to add, guys?

Yes, exciting.

Uh, we have come a long ways, um, in just this last year with the development of the app, uh, The exchange that we've added that we're running on with Blofen, no KYC for tier 1 countries. That's important with regulators continuing to reduce or diminish our access to exchanges. This is an important update. Plus the new hedge algo is what we've been trying to— we've been anticipating and waiting on it very patiently for a long time. It's been well over a year in development, so it's here. That allows us to do our margin folding, run in two directions at one time, and more importantly, reduce our risk and limit our risk and our drawdown. So we can limit drawdown now to, uh, it's about 5%, and then we have that hedge that can help us, um, pay off or subsidize the cost of the risk management. So it's a very good thing. It's a good time for us right now.

It was so nice too, as everyone— listen, man, Chris, how you find as well? So we're all doing the same thing.

Yeah, maybe tell us a bit about the support that we're running, Chris, as well.

Sure, definitely. So, um, like kind of Kosta Ouzas Ouzas was saying, um, we do do a call or a couple calls, um, Monday through Friday. So any of our clients, if you need any support, you need any help on anything, or just want to see what the market's kind of doing, um, you can kind of look at one of the calls or join one of the calls, check us out. You can also book one-on-one calls as well. So support and education is really important to us. So you definitely have those options when it comes to those things.

Yeah, awesome. So yeah, we've managed to bring everything in-house. Yeah, we bring— we brought everything in-house, which allows us to really keep, as you know, as close contact as we can with our clients. So really, really happy with how this is moving forwards. Awesome. All right, well, let's jump into some market updates. I want to have a look firstly at the Bitcoin Power Law Algo and bring that up here. So the Power Law Algo, as you can see, is, is, you know, performing as expected. We are extremely close to the support, which is a value now of 8.35. So one of the things that we've decided to do with the Power Law Algo, and, and has really worked well with our collaboration with Blowfin, is that, um, trading the Power Law algo as an inverse perpetual future, uh, seems to be something that most people, most clients, um, are finding a lot more valuable. And, um, I think it's better use of the algorithm ultimately. So the only— the difference is when you're trading an inverse is that the profits themselves are realized in Bitcoin. So with, with this strategy, um, the power law algorithm strategy, chasing USDT gains, chasing dollar gains, just didn't seem to make as much sense for us as chasing Bitcoin accumulation. And this algorithm is just perfectly tuned and refined, uh, to accumulate Bitcoin, right? So the unique way that we've set this up with Giovanni's source code, that we're able to, you know, DCA down always at any given time down to the power law support enables us to always be buying Bitcoin at the best and lowest prices before the next reversal. And by trading the inverse, uh, on Blowfin using Bitcoin as collateral as well, we're able to take those profits in Bitcoin. So, you know, for example, if, if you bought a Bitcoin today at $65,000 and, you know, you tried to, you know, you set this up to make 10 to 15% a year, that would be, you know, 0.1 Bitcoin a year or more. In returns. In 5 years' time, Bitcoin might be worth $500,000. Um, so, so that the Bitcoin that you're accumulating today is going to be worth, you know, potentially 4, 5, 10 times more than it is today. And it's just a really good strategy to use. It's, you know, Marcus has been sort of saying this for a very long time, but this is more profitable than mining, right? Mining, you have to expend a lot of energy in order to accumulate more Bitcoin. But with this strategy, it's all hosted on the cloud. All you're doing is paying a one-time licensing fee for the algorithm, and all you're doing, um, you're able to accumulate more Bitcoin without buying any more Bitcoin. So we believe that this is a really, uh, a good use of the algorithm, and, you know, it really is an amazing product to use. Um, do you guys want to add anything about the Power Law Algo?

Yeah, uh, from a passive standpoint, uh, you're mining Bitcoin with software, so there's an asymmetry that is tremendous in your favor doing it that way, uh, without the infrastructure costs as you mentioned earlier. Um, so technically, if you're making Bitcoin from Bitcoin with very little operating expense, it's a, an immeasurable return. It's almost unmeasurable. So, um, It's almost infinite because you're making off of an asset that would just be sitting there. So super powerful strategy to run, especially in the background. Might not be your primary, but it's definitely something that you should have in your portfolio.

Awesome.

Uh, Chris, maybe you wanted to show us what you've been doing with your, uh, well, with the hedge algo on some of the other assets we've been using. See if you can share your screen there.

Yeah, definitely, that'd be great. You see my screen?

Not yet. Yeah, let's turn it on. There you go.

All right, see it now.

Perfect. Yeah, we got it. So, so as you can see, this is Bitcoin/USDT, the derivatives futures pair. Right? We have the long and short running at the same time. It comes through the algorithm. Well, it's great, and kind of what Kosta Ouzas was referring to is having it on multiple assets at once, right? So we see Bitcoin working, but also I have it on XAU or gold in a sense, right, working within the same account, long and short, using the same collateral, and then also using it once again on silver, which is a third third pair in the thing within the same sub-account, which is incredible. I don't know if you want to touch on that more, Kosta, but it's incredible to see basically working how 3 assets into one sub-account at the same time, basically always running, never stopping.

Yeah, so we've managed to basically diversify the hedging algo, the accumulator, uh, algo strategy. So What we've decided to do is, is not only trade Bitcoin but also trade within the same sub-account some uncorrelated assets. It's like, for example, oil and a potentially a US equity, or even just two different commodities. And then we set them all up in the same sub-account with the same wallet size, and then the algorithm is essentially, uh, going 3 assets, 6 different positions. It's really 12 positions actually, isn't it, Marcus, technically? 6, uh, 2 directions, 4 entries for each one. Yes, quite. So 12, essentially 12 positions going at any given time. So the— well, everything is diversified. The, you know, the stop loss, the max drawdown, um, the asset risk, directional risk, everything is completely diversified. Um, and this is a way for us to generate incredibly steady returns, um, with this. So what, what assets are we seeing good results on so far, Chris?

So right now we're seeing a good mix within Bitcoin silver and gold, also copper, natural gas as well.

Okay. And Marcus, yourself, same?

Yeah, the same, uh, especially, uh, using, you know, being able to trade RWAs, real world assets, um, and you— they're not completely correlated, they're semi-correlated, so, uh, those are good, uh, and then we're looking to add more that are more non-correlated assets to the mix so that, as Chris was saying, we have something that's always working. And that diversification just keeps the engine running without any one particular part of it taking a significant drawdown. So it's working great. We're just going to keep adding more real-world assets and more tokens to the menu of choices. So it's we're excited about it. It's very promising.

Awesome, man. One of the cool things is that any new clients are able to choose their own adventure, right? They can choose which assets that they want to put into, um, into this mix. So that's one of the things that we're also doing in our support is we're teaching people how to come up with volume profiles and, uh, trading ranges for these different assets. So then they can then configure their bots themselves, uh, to give them the sort of, you know, the, the entries, uh, the ranges, the deviations that they feel, uh, are suited for that asset itself. So we're very much helping, um, educate new clients on how to come up with the settings that they're going to need. So, you know, it's like, like they say, you know, you can, um, what is it, feed someone, feed someone for a day or teach them how to fish and they can feed themselves forever. So, so that's kind of the new approach to where we're going with this, but we're, we're really excited about this, and, and the collaboration with Blofin has been, um, really good so far, um, and we're continuing to, to build that into our application as well.

And to add to that also, um, this is the future of finance, uh, the world is going into this, uh, tokenization, uh, narrative, uh, where they're doing tokenization and fractionalization. So all of the big, uh, institutions, uh, sovereign governments are supporting this. They had this meeting in Davos here recently, uh, and the whole narrative is tokenization of all RWAs, real-world assets. They're going to tokenize everything from stocks, bonds, to real estate. And when they tokenize everything, it's going to make instant liquidity and fractional ownership for just about anything. So the thing that runs on tokenization are these algorithms. Is, is sort of be a great way for you to participate in the future of asset tokenization. So we're just at the tip of a massive, uh, trend or iceberg that's just going to continue for who knows how long, for decades or for the future. So this is good.

Yeah.

And what we like is that you can, you can really extract, you know, returns from these assets without having to own the underlying stock. And, you know, that's something to, to remember as well. Another cool thing is that, you know, trading derivatives and trading futures is business activity. It's not a capital gain when you buy and sell. So we're simply just generating profits like a regular business. But one of the benefits that we have is that we've got no overheads, right? If you've, if you've got our algorithm, you've paid the licensing fee, you can run this forever and you have zero cost to run it, or maybe a few memberships, a TradingView subscription, etc. So from a, from a business perspective as well, this is a highly profitable business. And, um, you know, we've set it up in a way that it is becoming quite predictable, the returns that can, that can be pulled out of this as well.

Yep.

Yeah, um, awesome. I know a lot of people want to also see Marcus's Bitcoin Trading Different update. Let's take a look at that because we're looking to probably tap the bottom of the bear market in the near future, and let's see how far away we might be from that happening.

Yeah, everybody, uh, you know, everybody wants to know when is the bear market going to end, where are we at, are we at the bottom. It's always that we're at the bottom, and you can make an indicator called a sentiment indicator, right? So everybody on social media and YouTube, uh, they think this recent rally was the bottom, and you know, so here we go. So everybody, uh, has this, um, different sentiment, and really honestly, the market can't, uh, go down or reach the bottom until the sentiment has— in other words, to go down it has to be bullish, and to go, uh, up it has to be bearish. So right now we've had this little bullish sentiment which is actually powering, uh, powering this. So let me, uh, share my screen here. So we're going to start from the zoom out and zoom back in. You guys see? Oh, we haven't seen you. Can you see my You cannot see it. Let's see here. I'm just gonna— I have multiple screens at this. Let me, uh, pull that in. Can you see that?

Yeah, there we go.

Yeah, so I just trust that. All right, okay. So we're going to start— when in doubt, zoom out. So we're going to start with the very, very zoomed out perspective, uh, We'll just go back to the last bear market, uh, was over here in 2022, the one that we have most recent data for. Um, one thing is we're going to use an analysis that's been around 100— over 100 years, the Wyckoff analysis, uh, really popularized by Stan Weinstein. And, uh, it still works. It works on all assets because the cycles are institutionally driven and time-driven. Uh, so This stage here where we were— went through an accumulation phase, uh, it lasted, um, we can't see your screen. We cannot.

We're still—

I guess we can see your screen, but are you showing us a different period or you ride at today's date?

No, I'm going back in history, 2022.

Yeah, we can't see.

Oh, you can see the screen.

No, I can only see the train different, the one with— there we go.

How about this?

All right.

So it loaded slowly then. How about now?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So I guess it was slow loading. All right. So we're going back in time just to get a big perspective and we're going to bring it forward. Just we're going to look at time and the bottom, try to figure out both. So we went through a pretty long accumulation phase. At the bottom of the bear market. So this accumulation phase can take a while, and that's phase 1 of the Wyckoff, right? So we are in— so we're going to go in this style. We do what's called a quick stage analysis where we are at, and then when we come out of the accumulation phase, we enter into a— we enter into— accumulation is phase 1. Then we enter into phase 2, which is the trending phase or the markup phase of Wyckoff. So as we can see here, we went into a very long, prolonged bull market, about 36 months of it. And then we go, we enter into phase 3, which is the distribution phase. You have accumulation down here and now we have distribution phase, and that lasted for a few months. And then we break our structure and then we enter into the bear phase, which is phase 4. Phase 4 is markdown or trend downtrend markdown phase. So we are still— let me get rid of some of this. So we are still in that phase right now. So we're still in phase 4. We haven't quite reached phase the end of Phase 4. So we still have this bearish structure that we have broken, and we're not finished with the bearish structure. And then the bullish— for the bullish structure, if we change our character, we'd have to take out this 82. If we take out 82 and flip that, that becomes bullish. So we're still bearish right here. We're bearish. We made it. We, we broke this structure right here. We broke structure here. We broke structure here. So we're still bearish. So as we zoom in This is a bull counter-trend rally. So we know the trend is still bearish, we're still in a bear market, and this is just a counter-trend rally. This was a counter-trend rally, counter-trend rally. And what happens on these rallies, they become bull traps because the sentiment changes, and then it, then it wrecks everybody, right? So right here, this is the same thing. This is just a counter-trend rally. So nothing's really changed. We haven't reverse structure, change character, anything. And then we already know that these, uh, accumulation zones can last a while, right? So we may be in here from anywhere from October to November, or, or even maybe even longer, at least a couple of months down here as we will set in. We'll search for a new, uh, low, right? So we have the time for the bear market, which is about a year. So we'll go from the top. We are about 290 days. Uh, we just use that timing, 65. So that's October. So we have another— that's like, uh, this will go from November 1st from now, just to give us an idea. So we're— we probably got another 100 days or so. Down here to accumulate in this phase, in this zone here. That's accumulation zone before we start to come out. So now let's look for levels.

Magic question is, yeah, how far down?

Yeah, how far down? That's the big question. So we'll put the liquidity back now that we have the perspective. Okay, so we'll zoom in a little bit more here. All right, so I like to use the 5x and 3x as kind of the, the big liquidity formation. So we'll start with the 5x first, um, leverage. So as we can see, uh, we have a, a massive amount of 5x here beneath us, and we have 5x above us. So we've already— when we did the bull trap bear flag, we came out of that taking out the, uh, the short side of it. So now we're entering into a phase where we're more than likely getting ready to take out the long sides down here. So the targets that we're looking at in this region here is about 55. That's the 5x. Um, and then we'll look at the 3x. So the 3x, we have a, a large amount of liquidity down here about the mid-40s, and the absolute edge of the universe is probably 40K. So you got these targets are high probability targets because remember, if we take off the liquidity again, we didn't, uh, this was a breakup structure on the last bear face, uh, bear move, bear flag move. So we've just begun to— we haven't had the depth based on the consolidation. Our depth is not there yet. So that also puts us over here somewhere. So let's, uh, so those are the targets right there on the 3x and 5x liquidities. So 55, Fried Chicken Bucket number 1, and Fried Chicken 2 is probably 46. And the absolute low, the edge of inverse with nothing else below is at $40K. So one of, one of those three, all of those three are high probability targets. And let's look at how, uh, one other thing I wanted to bring out here. The market has a great memory. So, uh, we'll pull a quick profile just to show you the power of this from, uh, an earlier consolidation zone. We're actually in that zone now, as you can see. I go all the way back to 2024 where the market consolidated for a year. So there's a bottom running here. Let me see if I can clean it up a little bit. There's a bottom running down here, and there's a value area high running down here. So we're in that same— and there's a point of control here. We're in that same zone. We're inside of it. So the good news is the liquidity that rests below there is this liquidity here. So we could have some type of price action that's very similar to 2024 because it's the same setup. So we could be looking at something that comes down here and gets back in maybe 2 sweeps or 1 sweep of that liquidity. Uh, this liquidity was 5x, so this is the 5x here. So we're looking at something around that target between that 55 and 50 should get it done because that's where, where it was last year. We don't necessarily have to take out the 3x You'll see it here. It may be left behind.

Yeah, I think even the bottom of the FTX crash, uh, some of that 3x was definitely behind. There's something's always left behind, it looks like.

Yeah, you wouldn't— if the market kept, uh, liquidating everything, it wouldn't go anywhere. Yeah, it has to— something, something survives at some point. Yeah, so that's— so in the, so in the immediate term, you know, You got to watch these rallies. It's just a counter-trend rally setting you up for that move right there. These are counter-trend rallies. The trend remains from— so now, from technically looking at it from a liquidity standpoint and from a time standpoint, we're still in the bear market right now. So just get prepared. This is an excellent target. Just pick up some spot or go long from down there.

Yeah, how high could you see this? I guess around We've already tapped that resistance and gone back down. But yeah, I know we've come off 66, it doesn't look like we're going much higher, but where can you see they could potentially get to so people don't get caught out before it comes and sweeps those lows?

This rally could reach 71, you can reach the low 70s, it's very possible because we're— this bullish, uh, counter-trend rally is not necessarily hasn't broken its structure yet, so it's still, it's still bullish. This little rally is, yeah, so it's, it could still potentially, it could turn here, go down, or it could actually go all the way to the top. And we're looking at 10x liquidity there. Uh, there is a little bit of 5 up here too, but remember, the market typically doesn't go in two directions at once. If it's taking out the 5x on the longs, it's typically not going to touch the shorts. So it is, it is tapping into the 5x on the long side. So this becomes like a, um, a resistance point. But that being said, there's still 10x right here that takes us to the bottom of the 5x, which puts us at possibility of 70, 72, 73K. So like, that's very much possible before we go to back down. So we're at 65 now, so that's an additional, um could be an additional 10% on the move that remains. So it's a possibility, but it— probability, but it's also probability that we reverse now. But we'll see. We have to— that's if this, then that, you know. This structure still hasn't broken yet. Wouldn't break— the structure wouldn't not be broken until we take out, uh, these levels here. We get below this, then we broke structure or changed the character of this move. Yeah, awesome.

Anything to add, Chris?

All right, nothing on my end. Marcus knows how to, um, wrap everything up with a nice bow, nice present.

Hey, I always say don't fight the market, just profit from it. People want to get one-track-minded. It's got to only go up, or this or that. Hey, If you know, if the liquidity tells us where price is heading, or, you know, we don't know exactly how it's going to get there, we just know the destination, then profit from that. And then take what the market gives you, don't fight it. If the big boys, the institutions are accumulating, then you accumulate too. You don't have to— it's no one, uh, investment or price point to rule them all, right? It's just a series of, okay, I'll buy some at 55, I'll buy a little bit more if it goes lower. If it doesn't, just accumulate slowly like they're doing. That's why we're down here. Institutions are accumulating, are getting ready to.

And Marcus, inside our program, Marcus also runs his own trading desk, which Chris helps him along with. He's got a private Slack channel that he dedicates to advanced, um, advanced training, advanced analysis. Um, he focuses on advanced algorithm operations, but also looking into some swing setups, spot buying setups that, uh, you know, really well-timed. So, uh, that's something that once people join our program and start getting a hang of the algorithm, they can always upgrade and, and work directly with Marcus himself.

So, yep.

But you know, if anyone wants to reach out to us and discuss that with Marcus—

yeah, we do this, uh, awesome.

Well, we hit the 30 minutes.

We do it all day. Yeah.

Oh yeah, yeah.

I just said we do this all day. Uh, so we do.

Exactly, exactly. Awesome. Well, we hit the 30-minute mark. Chris needs to leave a little bit early today, but we'll be back, uh, every single week with these updates. So thanks a lot for joining, guys, today. Awesome. All right, we'll, um, see everyone next time.

All right, see ya.
