Once the diesel card is played, the political calculations ahead of the midterms are loud enough to hear across the Pacific. Diesel prices in the U.S. directly affect transportation, agriculture, and retail costs. In 2022, retail diesel prices briefly topped $5 per gallon, while diesel crack spreads also surged above $60 per barrel. When oil prices and inflation rise, voters get angry. So a move that seems jarring, like easing sanctions on Russia and importing diesel to bring prices down, is really about the fact that votes matter more than principles: midterm elections come down to a handful

It’s time for AI to turn in its report card again next week.
After the market closes on Wednesday ET, Meta, Tesla, IBM, and Texas Instruments will all report earnings, followed by Western Digital on Thursday.
At this point, the market isn’t asking whether you’ll keep spending. It’s asking one thing: When will all that money you’ve poured in turn into revenue?
I feel like once this week is over, AI stocks won’t be able to keep rising hand in hand anymore, right?
When U.S. stocks pull back, they’re really no less brutal than altcoins! 😢

Waiting for October to pass and see what happens after the midterms, because we should eventually have larger exit liquidity before December arrives, so a red or neutral close in October would be the best thing that could happen right now to set up a move higher in November into mid December, mostly because it would reset this numb sentiment which is still divided between bears and bulls without a clear victory call from either side.
Based on the calendar returns, both structurally and time wise, we are in a very similar environment to early to mid 2019 when the rally ended in June, yet this t

The most unusual detail in today's market action is not the decliners list itself, but the funding rate: $NEAR is down nearly 3% over 24 hours, yet the funding rate remains at +0.0023%. Longs continue paying to hold through the decline, indicating that leveraged longs have not yet been flushed out—a classic sign of risk buildup. The current price of 4.998 remains above MA5=4.987 and MA20=4.944, RSI=51 is neutral, and the MACD histogram at +0.01221 remains bullish. The Bollinger upper band at 5.058 presents short-term resistance. The 8.68% range across 30 candles means intraday moves of around

No one is king; this industry is extremely brutal! You can get it right 10,000 times, but one mistake is enough to wipe you out. 99% of people have the same fatal problem: they love to gamble, hoping to get rich overnight by staking their entire net worth to chase minuscule profits. Most people risk six figures to chase single- or triple-digit gains. If the risk is the same, wouldn’t it be less risky to flip things around and risk a single-digit amount for a five-figure gain? You can never make money beyond your understanding!

If equities keep weakening, I don’t think crypto holds up for long. Next week could be important.

This week's price action can be summed up as wide-range consolidation with lower-wick stop hunts, with the market trading overall in the 80000-84000 range. In the first half of the week, attempts to break through 84000 were repeatedly rejected, leading to a stalled rally at the highs and a pullback. Shorts then accelerated the decline, breaking below 82000 support and then 81000-80000, all the way down to 79700. A wick broke below the 80000 level, precisely sweeping long stops. Buying then came in and triggered a V-shaped reversal, with the market now back around 82000 and trading there.

🔥 CPI + PPI SHOCK: INFLATION IS BACK IN CONTROL — WHAT HAPPENS NEXT TO BTC, GOLD
The market is facing a serious macroeconomic test. September inflation came in hotter than expected, producer prices surged, technology stocks weakened, and Bitcoin came under pressure near the $80,000 region.
But this is not simply a bearish market. It is a battle between persistent inflation, Federal Reserve policy, liquidity, institutional positioning, and safe-haven demand. The next move will depend on how these forces interact.
Let's break down the numbers, market structur

More than two thousand years ago, Guan Zhong had already mastered the art of the “trade war.”
The Guanzi: The Weight of Light and Heavy records two classic economic wars:
In the first, Qi purchased silk products from Lu and Liang at high prices, luring the two states into abandoning agriculture and devoting themselves entirely to silk production. It then suddenly stopped buying, plunging them into economic hardship.
In the second, Qi minted large amounts of currency and bought firewood from Lai and Ju at high prices. After the two states had made a fortune, Qi suddenly shut down trade, leaving
