☀️ 9/18 Zuo Zuo Morning Brief
Macro/Current Affairs｜After the Fed’s rate hike, U.S. Treasury yields and oil prices fell in tandem; the market raised the probability of another 25-basis-point hike in October to 53.1%. Today’s focus shifts to the BOJ, with the market expecting rates to rise to 1.25%; the yen and global carry trades could amplify volatility.
U.S. Stocks｜Dow +0.62%, S&P 500 +1.14%, Nasdaq +1.69%; technology stocks led the gains, marking a rebound after interest-rate pressures temporarily eased.

$AB
It held the support band. If it breaks things could deteriorate

$FB Looks like it will definitely drop to 0.3 today

The price action on the Monad chart looks interesting, as both Base 1 and Base 2 are serving as zones of price reaction; we can characterize Base 2 as a manipulation point and Base 1 as an accumulation base. If the price successfully breaks out of the channel trend line, a potential distribution phase could begin. $MON ‌

Alts are looking very bullish here.
The bottom formation on OTHERS is incredibly clean.
We have a triple tap, with the 10/10 getting swept.
Then, a strong push up into the first higher high 12 months.
And now, a consolidation around that high.
Very nice price action.
Once this chop is done, I am expecting another very strong push higher.
The best period for alts is not far away.
OTHERS will make new highs over the next 6 months, and it will create conditions we haven't seen for a very long time.

After $NEAR surged to 3.1274, I instead took 70% off first. It’s not that I’m bearish; this level is right at the key prior-high resistance, making chasing less attractive. The move up from 2.4131 formed a breakout-pullback-breakout structure, with each pullback holding at a higher key level and volume expanding on the breakouts.
The key levels are clear now: the prior high is the first key level. If, after breaking out, the price pulls back on lower volume and holds the upper boundary, that would be the new entry logic; if it only pushes up and then falls back, it could be a false breakout. I

Those who embrace AI will flourish.
Those who don’t will fall behind.
If a company lays off their employees so AI can take over their jobs are missing the point.
They need to RETAIN those employees but have them use A.I. to 5x productivity so the ENTIRE company can grow.
It’s that simple.
NOTE: not ALL jobs can be saved but even the typewriter repairman could have been re-trained in I.T. and they would have been massively needed.

After $ONDO surged to 0.371, I instead took profit on 70% first. It’s not that I’m bearish; this level is right around the key previous-high resistance, so the cost-effectiveness of chasing further has decreased. The move up from 0.3497 formed a breakout-retest-breakout structure, with each pullback holding at a higher key level and volume expanding on the breakouts.

The key levels are clear now: the previous high is the first key level. If, after the breakout, price can pull back on declining volume and hold the upper boundary, that would be the new entry logic; if it only pushes above and

JUST IN: US equities rally post-rate hike with chips leading; crypto treasury stocks jump while BTC stays rangebound. $BNB , $PURR, $BMNR, $MSTR pushing higher alongside broader crypto-related names.

$AVAX Short-term bias is bullish, but upside is limited by the market’s neutral sentiment, so chasing highs is not advisable.
The Fear & Greed Index is 50, placing the market in the neutral range, with neither panic selling pressure nor overheated chasing momentum. With BTC yet to provide a clear direction, capital is more inclined to rotate among small- and mid-cap sectors. AVAX is up 1.97% over 24h, with a trading volume of 19.0M USDT, representing a mild follow-through rather than leadership. This indicates that it is a catch-up asset driven by the broader market, rather than an independent

$ZEC It surged 13 points in one day. Would you dare chase it at 1472? I’ve already locked my stop-loss at 1300.
First, let’s look at the chart. ZEC went straight from the low of 1301 to 1516, with 4.35 billion in 24-hour trading volume. That’s not volume retail investors can generate. At 1472, there’s only $44 of room to the daily high. 1516 is the first resistance level today, followed by the 1550-1580 range, a previous high-volume trading zone. Technically, this is a bullish breakout candle backed by heavy volume, but the problem is that it has already moved too far away from the 5-day movin

After $ARB surged to 0.17653, I instead took 70% off the table first. It’s not that I’m bearish, but this level is right at the key prior-high resistance, making it less cost-effective to keep chasing. The move up from 0.13354 formed a breakout-pullback-breakout structure, with each pullback holding at a higher key level and volume expanding on the breakouts.

The key levels are clear now: the prior high is the first key level. After the breakout, only a low-volume pullback that holds the upper boundary would establish a new entry setup; if it merely pushes above and then falls back, it could

Many people automatically assume that tangled moving averages mean “no opportunities in a sideways market,” so they take a heavy directional position prematurely, only to repeatedly get stopped out by the upper and lower Bollinger Bands. The real signal lies not in the moving averages themselves, but in the first expansion after their compression.
$TRUM The current price is 1.951, with MA5=1.9494 slightly below MA20=1.95075. The moving averages are nearly converged, indicating a typical eve of a directional choice. The MACD histogram is -0.002362; bearish momentum has not yet reached zero, bu
