#BonkGuyBullishOnUSELESS
Bonk Guy calling $USELESS a potential meme king is interesting, but I think the real story is bigger than one bullish call.
At the time of writing, USELESS is trading around $0.2294, up 3.22% over 24 hours, with a market cap of approximately $229.25M and more than $101M in 24-hour trading volume. The current 24-hour range is roughly $0.2181–$0.2569.
That volume is the number I care about most.
A $229M meme coin generating more than $100M in daily volume is showing that traders are actually rotating capital through the asset rather than simply talking about it.
But there is an important detail that gets lost in the hype:
USELESS is not at its all-time high in USD.
Its previous ATH was around $0.4375, meaning the token is still roughly 48% below that level.
That changes the way I look at the setup.
Instead of asking whether USELESS has already topped, I am watching whether the current momentum can eventually turn into a sustained attempt at price discovery.
The first thing I want to see is whether buyers can keep defending the $0.218 area. That is close to the current 24-hour low and, in my view, an important short-term momentum level.
If USELESS continues holding above that zone while volume remains elevated, the market has a reasonable setup for another attempt toward the $0.25–$0.26 area, which is currently acting as the immediate resistance zone based on the latest daily range.
A clean breakout through that area with strong volume would make the structure much more interesting.
But I would not call the next move automatically bullish.
Meme coins can produce enormous volume on both sides of the market. The same liquidity that pushes a token higher can become exit liquidity when momentum disappears.
That is why I would rather see price + volume confirmation than chase a green candle because a KOL is bullish.
There is also something unusual about USELESS itself.
Its entire identity is built around being a meme rather than pretending to have complicated utility. CoinMarketCap describes it as a Solana-based meme token that intentionally satirizes the traditional crypto obsession with utility. Almost the entire supply is already circulating — around 999.08M out of a 1B maximum supply.
From a trader's perspective, that makes the supply structure relatively straightforward.
There is no massive gap between circulating supply and maximum supply that I need to price into the thesis.
But the other side of that argument is even more important:
USELESS is still a meme trade.
There is no guarantee that today's attention becomes tomorrow's demand.
For me, the real test is whether USELESS can maintain liquidity after the excitement cools down.
If volume remains strong, holders continue growing and price starts making higher highs and higher lows, then the "meme king" narrative becomes increasingly credible.
If volume collapses and price loses its recent support, the narrative can unwind just as quickly.
And I would keep the previous ATH firmly on the chart.
$0.4375 is the major long-term reference.
At $0.2294, USELESS would need roughly a 91% move from here to reclaim that previous high. That is possible in meme markets, but it is absolutely not something I would treat as guaranteed.
So my current view is:
Short term: momentum is interesting, but $0.218 is important support.
Next resistance: $0.25–$0.26.
Major upside test: previous ATH around $0.4375.
What would confirm strength: breakout + sustained volume + higher lows.
What would invalidate the momentum thesis: losing support while volume fades and the market starts making lower highs.
Bonk Guy may be early on the meme-king narrative.
But I don't want to buy a narrative.
I want to see the market prove it.
For now, USELESS has something many meme coins never manage to build at the same time:
attention, liquidity and a market cap large enough to matter — while still being far below its previous ATH.
That combination is worth watching.
Not because USELESS is guaranteed to become the next meme king.
Because the market is giving it the opportunity to prove whether it can.

#USTreasuryToBuyBackUpTo6Billion
The U.S. Treasury just made a much bigger move in its long-term bond buyback program, but the market reaction is the part I’m watching most closely.
Treasury announced a buyback of up to $6 billion of 10- to 20-year Treasury bonds for Thursday, roughly three times the size of its previous long-duration operation. The plan also follows the Treasury’s commitment to conduct at least $4 billion of longer-dated buybacks per operation going forward. The objective is mainly to improve liquidity by taking older, less-liquid securities out of the market.
On paper, that sounds supportive for longer-duration bonds. But the first reaction was not what bond bulls wanted. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed as high as 4.8528%, its highest level since November 2023, while longer maturities also came under pressure. Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions, so rising yields mean pressure on Treasury prices — and that matters directly for TLT.
The bigger issue is scale. A $6 billion operation sounds large in isolation, but it is still small compared with the enormous Treasury market. That is why some investors viewed the announcement as underwhelming. The buyback can improve liquidity in specific older securities, but it does not remove the broader supply, inflation and fiscal pressures that are pushing long-term yields higher.
This is where TLT becomes interesting. If yields continue climbing, long-duration Treasury exposure can remain under pressure. But if inflation fears start easing, oil prices retreat and the market becomes more confident about lower future rates, the same duration exposure can become attractive because falling yields can translate into stronger bond prices.
For me, the key signal is therefore not the $6 billion headline itself. I want to see what happens to the 10-year yield after the buyback. If yields continue pushing higher despite Treasury intervention, that tells us the market is still demanding more compensation to hold longer-duration debt. If yields start reversing lower, the buyback could become part of a broader stabilization signal.
The immediate macro risk is inflation. Brent crude has moved above $100, and higher energy prices can keep inflation expectations elevated. At the same time, the Federal Reserve is approaching its next policy decision with the market focused heavily on upcoming inflation data. That combination can create significant volatility for long-duration bonds.
My TLT view is therefore conditional rather than blindly bullish. I would become more constructive if Treasury yields start falling and TLT confirms the move with a sustained recovery. If yields continue rising toward new cycle highs, I would be cautious about assuming that the Treasury buyback alone can reverse the trend.
The trade I’m watching is simple: falling yields + TLT reclaiming resistance = bullish confirmation. Rising yields + TLT breaking support = bearish continuation risk.
I would keep risk around 1% of trading capital on the initial position and avoid oversized exposure simply because the Treasury is buying bonds. The size of the buyback is meaningful for liquidity, but it is not large enough by itself to eliminate the forces driving long-term yields.
The real question for TLT is not whether the Treasury is buying bonds. It is whether the bond market finally starts believing that long-term yields have gone far enough.

#USStocksRecordSixthLargestWeeklyInflowSince2008
US500 is starting to look less like a simple dip and more like a test of whether buyers can defend the broader uptrend.
The S&P 500 closed the latest session at 7,636.36, down about 0.5%, extending the weekly decline to roughly 1.1%. The index is still up about 11.6% for 2026, but the short-term tone has weakened noticeably.
What changed is the macro pressure. Brent crude has moved back above $100, while the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield has climbed above 4.8%. That combination is uncomfortable for equities because higher energy prices can reinforce inflation while higher yields increase the opportunity cost of holding stocks. The market is now waiting for U.S. PPI and CPI data, which could heavily influence expectations for the Fed's September decision.
The recent price action also shows that this is not just one weak session. US500 has been falling for several sessions, and market breadth has deteriorated: only about 38% of S&P 500 stocks were above their 50-day moving averages, the lowest level since April. That tells me weakness is becoming broader rather than being limited to a few large names.
From a technical perspective, 7,600–7,620 is the first area I would watch for buyers. The recent close around 7,636 puts the index close to that zone, so a strong reaction there could produce a relief bounce.
Above the market, 7,680–7,700 is the first recovery zone. If US500 can reclaim that area and hold it, the selling pressure starts to lose some credibility. The next important area would be around 7,750–7,780, followed by the previous record-high region.
The key point is that I don't want to call the current decline a full trend reversal yet. The index is still relatively close to its record area, and the larger 2026 trend remains positive. But losing 7,600 with strong momentum would change the short-term picture considerably.
My bullish setup would therefore require US500 to defend 7,600–7,620, then reclaim 7,680–7,700. I would prefer a retest of that reclaimed zone rather than entering during the first impulsive candle. If that confirmation appears, the upside path would be 7,750–7,780 first, then 7,820, with the previous high area as the third target.
For a support-based trade, the invalidation would be a decisive move below 7,580–7,600, depending on the exact entry. If support breaks cleanly, I would not continue defending the bullish idea simply because the index has already fallen.
The bearish setup becomes much cleaner below 7,600. A breakdown followed by a failed reclaim of 7,600 would suggest that sellers are gaining control. In that situation, I would watch 7,550 first, then 7,500, with 7,450 as a deeper downside target if macro pressure accelerates.
There is also an important distinction between a normal pullback and a risk-off breakdown. If inflation data comes in hotter than expected while oil and Treasury yields remain elevated, US500 could see another wave of selling. On the other hand, softer inflation and easing yields could quickly bring buyers back into growth and technology stocks.
My preferred trading strategy is therefore confirmation rather than prediction. I would look for a long only after support holds and 7,680–7,700 is reclaimed, or consider the bearish side only after 7,600 breaks and fails to recover. Trading directly in the middle of that range offers a much weaker risk/reward.
For risk management, I would keep the initial risk around 1% of trading capital, with 2% reserved for a very strong confirmation. Position size should be reduced if the stop needs to be wider. The objective is not to predict every move in the index; it is to take the trade only when the market gives enough information to justify the risk.
My current US500 bias is neutral to slightly bearish in the short term. Above 7,700, the recovery becomes more convincing. Above 7,780, momentum could improve significantly. Below 7,600, I would become more defensive and start watching 7,550, 7,500 and 7,450.
For now, the market is asking one simple question: can buyers turn 7,600 into support, or will macro pressure finally push the S&P 500 into a deeper correction? That reaction is more important than trying to predict the next candle.

Nvidia is at an interesting point right now: the AI story is still getting stronger, but the stock itself is losing momentum. That difference matters. NVDA is not breaking down structurally yet, but buyers need to show up soon if the recent pullback is going to turn into another continuation move.
NVDA closed the latest session at $223.67, down 0.91% on the day, with approximately 82.96M shares traded. The session ranged from $223.46 to $226.18. The stock is also around 5.4% below its $236.54 record high, while the latest seven-day move is roughly -2.1%, based on the September 3 close of $228.45.
The short-term structure has clearly cooled. NVDA closed around $230.36 on September 4, then moved lower to $225.73 on September 8 and $223.67 on September 9. The important part is that the stock is now sitting close to the lower end of the latest trading range instead of recovering back toward $230. That keeps sellers in control of the immediate momentum.
The fundamental story, however, remains strong. Nvidia announced plans to expand AI data-center capacity in Australia to as much as 2 GW by 2027, working with local cloud and data-center companies. That is another example of Nvidia positioning itself around the entire AI infrastructure buildout rather than simply selling GPUs.
There is also a risk investors cannot ignore today. The U.S. Justice Department is investigating Nvidia's $17B licensing arrangement with AI chip startup Groq over whether the structure was designed to avoid antitrust scrutiny. Reuters reports that the deal is unlikely to be reversed, but the investigation adds another layer of regulatory uncertainty around Nvidia's aggressive expansion across the AI ecosystem.
Technically, $223–$224 is the first support area I’m watching because the latest session closed almost directly around it. If buyers defend this zone and push NVDA back above $226–$228, short-term momentum could start recovering. Above that, $230–$231 becomes the next important resistance, followed by the $234.76 recent high.
The bigger resistance is $234–$237. That zone contains the recent high and sits close to the stock's record area. A clean breakout through $236.54 with strong volume would be a meaningful signal that the pullback has ended and buyers are attempting to establish a new high.
On the downside, a decisive break below $223 would make the current setup weaker. I would then watch $220 first, followed by the $216–$218 area. If $216 fails as well, the market could start looking for a deeper retracement rather than a simple pullback.
Trading strategy
My preferred bullish setup is not buying NVDA simply because the AI narrative remains strong. I want price confirmation. The first opportunity would be a reclaim of $226–$228, followed by a successful retest of that zone. If buyers can turn it into support, I would look for $230–$231 as TP1, $234–$235 as TP2 and $236.54 as TP3.
A stronger breakout above $236.54 would change the setup completely. That would be the confirmation I want for a potential continuation trade toward fresh highs, rather than trying to predict the breakout beforehand.
There is also a support-based long possibility around $223–$224, but I would only take it after seeing an actual bullish reaction from that area. If price simply breaks through $223, I would not try to catch the falling move. For that setup, the invalidation would be below approximately $220, depending on the entry and confirmation.
The bearish setup becomes active if NVDA loses $223 with strong selling volume and fails to reclaim it. In that case, I would watch $220 first, then $216–$218. A sustained move below $216 would significantly weaken the short-term bullish structure and make a deeper correction more likely.
For risk management, I would keep the initial risk around 1% of trading capital, with 2% only for a strongly confirmed setup. If entering around $227 after a confirmed reclaim with an invalidation around $223, the risk is approximately $4 per share. A move toward $234–$235 would provide roughly $7–$8 upside per share, giving a potentially attractive reward-to-risk profile if the breakout is properly confirmed.
The broader market is another factor here. The S&P 500 fell 0.48% and Nasdaq dropped 0.64% in the latest session as oil moved above $100 and Treasury yields remained elevated. That environment can make high-valuation AI stocks more sensitive to changes in rates and risk appetite.
My current NVDA bias is neutral to slightly bearish below $228, because short-term momentum is still weak. A reclaim of $228 would improve the setup, $231 would strengthen it further, and a breakout above $236.54 would be the strongest bullish confirmation. On the other side, losing $223 opens the door toward $220 and potentially $216–$218.
For me, the important trade is not predicting whether Nvidia will eventually make another all-time high. The question is whether buyers can first reclaim the levels they just lost. If they do, the AI narrative has a chart to support it. If they don't, the stock may need more time to reset before the next major move.

#AppleSeptemberEvent
Apple just delivered one of its biggest product changes in years, but the market reaction is telling a different story from the headline.
AAPL closed the latest session at $315.34, down 0.28% on the day. The stock traded between $309.90 and $319.15, with about 65.64M shares changing hands. Market cap is around $4.6T. Over the latest seven-day trading period, AAPL has fallen roughly 3% from the September 2 close of $324.96, so the stock is entering the foldable-iPhone catalyst from a position of short-term weakness rather than a fresh breakout.
That is what makes the current setup interesting. Apple unveiled the $1,999 iPhone Duo, its first foldable iPhone, with a 7.6-inch internal display and a 5.4-inch outer display. Preorders begin October 16 and the device is scheduled to launch October 23. This gives Apple a completely new premium product category, but the stock initially slipped after the event instead of breaking higher.
For me, that reaction means expectations were already high. The foldable iPhone can potentially lift Apple's average selling price and create another upgrade cycle, but investors will eventually want to see actual preorder demand, production capacity and margins. The product story is bullish in the long run, but the chart still has to confirm it.
The recent structure is showing some distribution after the move toward $330.81. AAPL closed at $328.21 on September 3, dropped to $319.97 on September 4, then slipped again to $316.22 on September 8 before closing at $315.34. Volume on September 9 jumped to roughly 65.6M shares, well above the previous day's 35.5M, while price still finished lower. That makes the $309.90–$319.15 session particularly important to me because it shows both sides were active around the product event.
The first resistance zone is $319–$321. AAPL needs to reclaim this area before the short-term structure starts improving. Above that, $324.96 becomes the next important level, followed by $328.90–$330.81. That $330.81 area is especially important because it was the recent swing high and could attract liquidity if momentum returns.
On the downside, $309.90–$310 is the key immediate support. Below that, I would watch the $305–$306 area, while $300 becomes the larger psychological support. If $310 continues to hold, the current pullback can still develop into a base. If it breaks decisively, the market would be telling us that the foldable launch has not created enough immediate buying pressure.
My bullish scenario is confirmation above $320–$321. I would not buy simply because Apple launched the Duo. I would rather see AAPL reclaim that resistance zone and then hold it on a retest. A confirmed move above $321 would give me a cleaner long setup, with $324.96 as TP1, $328.90 as TP2 and $330.81 as TP3. A strong breakout through $330.81 would change the structure again and could open the door toward the previous all-time-high area.
For the breakout strategy, I would look for an entry around $320–$321 only after confirmation and a successful retest. A reasonable initial invalidation would be around $316.50. That gives roughly $4.50 of downside risk from a $321 entry. TP1 at $324.96 offers about $3.96, so I would treat TP1 mainly as a partial-profit level; TP2 around $328.90 offers roughly $7.90, while TP3 around $330.81 offers roughly $9.81. The better risk/reward comes from holding a portion for TP2 and TP3 rather than expecting the first target to provide the entire trade.
The bearish scenario is equally important. If AAPL breaks below $309.90 with strong volume and then fails to reclaim $310, I would consider the support structure broken. In that situation, $305–$306 becomes the first downside area, followed by the psychological $300 level. I would not short merely because price touches $310; I want an actual breakdown and failed reclaim.
For a bearish breakdown trade, the confirmation would be a move below $309.90 followed by rejection of $310 from underneath. The invalidation would be a sustained recovery back above roughly $314–$315. The setup would then target $305 first and $300 next. Because the first downside target offers limited reward relative to a wider invalidation, I would only consider the trade if momentum expands on the breakdown.
There is also a broader market risk that AAPL traders should not ignore. U.S. equities have been under pressure as Brent crude moved above $100 and Treasury yields climbed, while upcoming inflation data could influence expectations for the Federal Reserve. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both declined in the latest session, so AAPL is not trading in isolation.
There is no meaningful crypto-style open interest, funding-rate or liquidation data to include for the AAPL spot stock setup, so I would not force those metrics into the analysis.
My current bias is neutral to cautiously bearish below $320–$321. Above $321, the setup starts turning constructive, with $324.96 and $328.90–$330.81 as the important upside levels. Below $309.90, the short-term bullish thesis weakens considerably and $305–$306 followed by $300 becomes the area to watch.
For risk management, I would keep the trade risk around 1% of total capital, with 2% only for a strongly confirmed setup. Position size should be calculated from the distance between entry and stop rather than using a fixed position size.
The foldable iPhone gives Apple a new growth narrative. But right now, the chart is asking a more important question: can AAPL turn the biggest iPhone redesign in years into actual buying pressure? I want the price to answer that before taking a directional position.
