Energy Prices a Key Driver: The U.S. Inflation Rebound May Not Be So Simple
U.S. September PPI Surged Far More Than Expected, with one of the most notable factors behind it being a sharp rise in energy prices. Data from the U.S. Department of Labor showed that prices for final-demand goods rose 2.6% month over month in September, while energy prices climbed 10.8%, including a 20.3% surge in gasoline prices. Meanwhile, services prices rose 0.8%, indicating that price pressures are not confined to the energy sector.
Rising energy prices affect the economy through multiple channels. Transportatio

Is the official CPU price quietly pumping? Did the #2 whale get some news or something???

$XRP ‌ is quietly building a higher-low base and the moving averages are beginning to cross up.
Trading Plan Long XRP
Entry: 1.3250 - 1.3350
SL: 1.2650
TP1: 1.346
TP2: 1.370
TP3: 1.425
XRP is up 1.18% today at $1.3340, holding above the MA5 at $1.3368 and MA10 at $1.3275, but still trading below the MA30 at $1.3598. The short-term averages are pointing up — that's the first sign of a trend flip. The MACD histogram is positive at 0.0024 with DIF at -0.0145 crossing above DEA at -0.0170, confirming the downside momentum has run out of fuel.
Price has defended the $1.2831 low twice now, forming

U.S. Pre-Market Analysis: Storage Weakens Again, Tesla Surges on New Car Launch 🔥
U.S. pre-market trading remains mixed. The hottest storage stocks are extending their pullback again, while Tesla is gaining momentum once more, driving SpaceX higher. Speculative sentiment remains in the market.
Interest in storage remains strong. SK Hynix's losses widened to 2.57%, while $SNDK fell 1.27%.
Its price action offers some guidance for the global storage sector. The continued pre-market decline is putting considerable pressure on storage stocks.

After that sharp move, price is cooling off and testing support. If the bulls step back in, there could be another leg up.
One to keep on the radar.

$XAG ‌has bottomed out and is now reclaiming lost ground as Shanghai demand returns.
Trading Plan Long XAG
Entry: 57.40 - 57.90
SL: 55.40
TP1: 58.87
TP2: 60.35
TP3: 61.50
XAG is up 1.67% today at $57.89, rebounding sharply from the $55.52 low. Price has reclaimed the MA5 at $57.71 and MA10 at $57.10, though it is still trading below the MA30 at $58.87. That MA30 is the key level to watch. The MACD is turning up with the histogram flipping positive, which tells me the selling pressure has exhausted.
The catalyst is the news headline: "Shanghai Silver Rebounds 2.26% Today as U.S. 10-Year..." —

Bitcoin can keep adding to long positions on a pullback to around 82400-82600; it has already broken through, so just stay bullish

History repeats: the weekly death cross flashed near the bottom for the fourth cycle in a row.
A traditionally bearish signal, marking the start of the bull.
Once we leave the no-man's-land between the 50 & 100w MA, the real fun begins.
Bags packed. Time to make it count.
