#CRV LTF Analysis:
$CRV is trading inside a descending broadening wedge on the 4H and is now sitting right on the lower boundary (~$0.222). The decline has been steady, but volume has been fading as $CRV grinds lower, which often shows selling pressure drying up.
This pattern usually resolves to the upside, so I'm watching for a bounce off this boundary and then a break above the upper trendline (~$0.26). A 4H close below $0.22 would invalidate the $CRV setup.

Jinjin at 5k is a joke.

Employment came in at 178K, versus expectations of just 60K—triple. Even CNN was stunned. It’s that simple: the labor market hasn’t collapsed, so rate-cut expectations need to be pushed back. Don’t rush to bet on easing. Macro traders, weigh your positions tonight—I’ve already placed my stop-loss order. If you think I’m talking nonsense, save a screenshot.

Even if I were deliberately trying to stir up trouble, I couldn’t pull something like this off.

This is truly the smallest thing in the world.

The whale has shown us just how brutal the market can be, first Jasonleo and now 48clublan···
After spending long enough in the trading markets, you realize no one can stay on top forever.
Sometimes, when you take a moment to reflect, stepping away while the going is good can be a brave choice too.
I hope Lan can get through this tough time and make a comeback.

The producer prices data for October puts forth a two sided picture that shows the monthly rise slowed yet the yearly pressure goes on, and this picture reshapes the market view on the path of rates.

By the data released on 13 November, producer prices show a monthly rise of 0.3 percent in October, the view stood at the level of 0.4 percent, the rise stood at the level of 1.4 percent in the prior month, and this slowdown shows that the monthly pressure lost speed.

On the yearly side, the picture gives a different signal, because

Starting Alone Sounds Brave, But That Is Where The Hard Part Begins

When I first heard this talk, I stopped and thought for a moment. Because everyone says “build a team, start big, start strong.” Dr. Han stood up and said the opposite: Start alone.

In his talk at the Oxford Union, titled “Start Alone,” he walked through 13 years of his own path. A path that began with losses while trading through online forums. A path that began not with capital, but with trial and error. The part that felt real to me was this. He did not tell it like a success story
