The Fear & Greed Index fell from 71 to 56; the market’s “timidity” may be a good thing

The data I care about most today is not the price, but sentiment. The Fear & Greed Index fell from 67 a week ago to 56, returning to the neutral zone. On October 2, the index briefly reached 71, entering the “greed” zone.

From 71 to 56, market sentiment has clearly cooled.

Why do I care about this? Because before major data is released, the more timid the market is, the healthier its reaction will be after the data comes out.

If the Fear & Greed Index were still above 70, it would indicate that the m

Inflation data rose again, and the market sharply increased the probability of a Fed rate hike. Not long ago, everyone was still hoping inflation would gradually ease and the central bank would pivot to easing soon, but this rebound in prices has abruptly shattered that optimism
If inflation continues to rebound, the Fed will basically not consider cutting rates in the short term, and high interest rates will have to remain in place for longer. As expectations of tighter liquidity rise, valuations of risk assets will all come under pressure. Going forward, pay closer attention to Fed officials

AI agents can be deployed in hours. The infrastructure powering them can take years to build.
I think this imbalance is creating a new investment opportunity in crypto: tokenized compute.
We've spent years investing in AI models, applications and agent tokens.
But there's another side of the market worth examining.
Every AI model needs processing power. Every active agent consumes inference, memory and computing resources.
And unlike software, physical compute capacity cannot scale overnight.
New GPUs require capital. Data centers need electricity, cooling, networking and grid connections.

Rising gasoline prices were a major contributor, reflecting energy-market disruptions and geopolitical tensions. Higher

🚨 BREAKING: 🇺🇸 US CPI jumps to 3.7%, above the 3.6% forecast! 🔥
📊 Inflation has reached its highest level in four months, catching markets off guard.
💥 Gold ($XAU ) and silver ($XAG ) reportedly lost over $350 BILLION in market value within just 5 minutes of the release.

Data released: CPI came in at 3.7%, bearish for gold. As expected, gold began falling around 4155. Next, as I said at noon, first watch the support at 4110; if it continues breaking below, look toward the interim bottom support at 4060! #黄金 #伦敦金 $XAUUSD ‌

The Asian session falls, the European session continues, and a rebound in the U.S. session means go short.
Today’s market is well suited to this rule of thumb, but don’t blindly follow it in your trading today either.
The seasonally adjusted September CPI annual rate will be released at 8:30 tonight. Based on the forecast data, the probability is relatively high that the release will be bullish for the U.S. dollar and bearish for non-U.S. products. If the bearish impact has been priced in ahead of the release, watch the resistance at 4150 above, with 4180 as the extreme level. If 4180 is decisively broken, don’t stubbornly remain bearish! #黄金 #伦敦金 $XAUUSD ‌

Watching Unitree bounce around twice yesterday, I almost thought it was coming back from the dead, but today it’s lying flat and diving straight toward fifty. A great window for a second entry to short—the stair-step descent is going pretty smoothly 😏 I’ll just quietly watch it perform its free fall.
