What Was Expected, What Happened?
Everyone expected this: Producer prices would increase by 0.5% - 0.6% monthly, reaching 5.3% annually. In other words, we would say that inflation was gradually coming under control.
The data that came in was a shock:
A 1.3% monthly increase. Almost three times the expectation. The biggest jump since 2022.
A 6.3% annual increase. The expectation was 5.3%. It was 5.6% in August, so there's an increase, not a decrease.
Even core data, which is the data excluding food and energy, increased by 0.5% monthly. So inflation isn't just due to oil; it's spread everywher

A **randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot trial (ANGONG TRIAL)** led by the Department of Neurology at Peking Union Medical College Hospital found that:
**For patients with moderate to severe acute ischemic stroke (cerebral infarction), adding Angong Niuhuang Pill to standard modern medical treatment showed no statistically significant difference from placebo in any of the three primary efficacy endpoints: reducing cerebral infarct volume, alleviating cerebral edema, and neurological recovery at 90 days**

$STBL Damn market maker, please spare me. I'm begging you, I'll call you daddy, grandpa 👴🏻

$ETH I entered a long at 2350 yesterday (it was recorded in yesterday’s post). At the time, the market hadn’t even reached 2313. Some people in the comments said I was crazy and that it would fall to 2200. Now it’s at 2441, and I’m still holding. Trading futures means having the guts to act when others are fearful and knowing when to get out when others are greedy. I don’t hype things up or call trades; I only share real trading experience.
Let’s keep working through the thought process. The chart unfolds; it isn’t something you can predict. From 2313 to 2441, it has already rebounded 128 poin

$ZEC Now it feels like a multiple-choice question with no standard answer, but the answer won't be found in emotions.
First, let's copy the full question: $ZEC is currently at 1,229.34, up 11.58% in 24 hours. 1-hour support is 1,075, resistance is 1,254.05, and current volume is 0.70 times the average over nearly 20 candles. The 1-hour trend is strong, RSI 67; the 4-hour trend is strong, RSI 51.
The angle I’m watching is that after $ZEC’s sharp 24-hour rally, momentum and continuation are not the same thing. I won’t extrapolate the large move that has already happened into the next leg; first,

SEPTEMBER US PPI JUMPS 6.3% — BITCOIN UNDER PRESSURE, GOLD REBOUNDS, AND THE FED FACES A NEW INFLATION CHALLENGE
My Market Analysis | October 16, 2026
The US inflation story has taken another important turn. On October 15, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics released September Producer Price Index (PPI) data that significantly exceeded market expectations. Producer inflation accelerated sharply, core prices also increased, and energy costs surged
Yet the market reaction was not as straightforward as many traders expected. Bitcoin faced pressure, technology stock

Old-school memorization techniques are still useful. Sharing them with everyone.

I can't even imagine how many groups this company will have in the future 😂

AGT is a self-hyped pump, with a circulating market cap of $120 million and futures OI of just over $35 million. It’s up 110%, but less than $1 million in short positions have been liquidated. Overall, although AGT is the top gainer, not much capital has flowed into the market, and it doesn’t seem likely to hold up for long.$AGT

Everyone keeps asking for a $ZEREBRO update, so let me make it clear.
$ZEREBRO has dropped around 15% from my marked level almost 4 times.
Yes, it went above that level too, but I clearly mentioned that we can use the re-entry strategy.
I also mentioned that if any 3H candle closes below that level, we’ll look for a short continuation setup for your safety. That confirmation hasn’t appeared yet.
Otherwise, on lower timeframes, we’ve had multiple scalping opportunities, and I’ve been taking them too.

The great tech stocks to crypto rotation is on.
Send it back to the highs.

Yesterday, after PPI came in, BTC staged a “fakeout” move: it plunged to test the key 79800 lifeline, quickly recovered, and resumed consolidating at elevated levels above 82000.
U.S. September PPI rose 1.3% month over month and 6.3% year over year, while core PPI was up 5.0% year over year, all well above expectations; combined with the previous day's hotter-than-expected CPI, this should have delivered a second hawkish shock.
The core reasons for the rebound after the data-driven dip:
CPI had already priced in most inflationary headwinds, so the PPI release merely triggered a concentrated re

Above August's revised 5.6%
Also the highest level since December 2022
Even more alarming is the month-over-month figure
September PPI rose 1.3%
The market had originally expected an increase of only around 0.5%–0.6%
