JUST IN: Citi argues July minutes won’t shift market odds for a hike as August data cooled core inflation; JPMorgan notes Fed divergences persist. If echoed, risk assets may ignore hawkish chatter, pricing in fewer rate hike bets. $SPX $BTC

This was purely the market being in a good mood and casually tossing out some gold coins, which happened to land right on my head. This direction has been going smoothly, and shorting has been very easy. When I opened the charts this morning, $FET ’s rebound was knocked back down once again, even weaker than I had expected.

My entry logic was very straightforward—the upward push lacked strength, selling pressure was strong, and the bulls had no room to fight back at all. I placed a short order at 0.2530 and also pointed out that there was no support below. The current price is 0.126, with a r

Since 2015, the 12m and 21m EMA for Bitcoin bitcoin:native have served as THE gatekeepers of when the asset "enters" a bull market
Alternatively, a monthly close below them "activates" the bear like it did in November.
$75-77k is the current area to break past and hold on a monthly close. Until then, all this price action is just chop and consolidation.
Once we get a monthly close above 75-77k we're in for another multi-year run
Personally, I stack regardless

$HYPE is finally showing a structure I can work with.
The bounce from the $52–54 demand area wasn’t just a quick reaction price has started building higher lows and reclaimed the $57.5–59 zone.
Now the real test is $60–63.
That area carries previous supply + FVG + Fib resistance, so I’m not interested in blindly chasing here.
A clean daily acceptance above $63 would make me look toward $65, then $67–70.
If $HYPE loses $56.7, momentum weakens.
Below $53.7, I’d consider the recovery structure broken.
For me, $62–63 decides whether this stays a relief bounce or becomes a real reversal.

How much did our international friends make on these SOL long positions? I went silent after doing the math.
📌 This isn’t a photoshopped image or a simulated account—it’s a real holdings screenshot from a Canadian account.
FSOL + SOLT, held across multiple accounts, totaling hundreds of thousands of Canadian dollars, all in profit—
The smallest gain was 8%, the largest was 18%, and not a single account was in the red.
💡 I did the math: one account alone made $15,607 CAD on its SOL holdings.
The other two accounts are also rising in tandem,
This isn’t luck; it’s the result of trend resonance.

$AAPL is showing some serious strength 👀
Apple is trading around $316.17, up 1.92% on the session.
On the 1H chart:
• Price broke above the $310–311 area
• Strong momentum pushed it to $319.26
• Price is now cooling around $316
• $310–311 is the key support zone to watch
• A move back toward $319–320 could be interesting if momentum continues
The bigger thing I’m watching is whether $AAPL can hold above the breakout zone.
I wouldn’t chase the move here. Let the price show whether the breakout is actually holding.
Just watching the chart
