The New Era of Crypto
Aloha,
Welcome to the new age of cryptocurrency! The BIG news of the past week shined a bright light on Bitcoin -- The SEC finally approved spot Bitcoin ETFs. If you've been diamond handing digital gold over the past few years or more, a massive congrats to you. I hope the coming years are even more exciting.
Beyond internet monies, there were various other developments over the past week you should know about. There were two inflation reports, CPI & PPI. The data came in hot (higher than expected) and cool (lower than expected) respectively. To make the party even more exciting, Earnings Season officially commenced as well. A handful of major financial players report their performance. Thus far, the results have been a mixed bag. It will take a bit more clarity to know if the bulls or the bears have the upper hand.
Looking ahead there are various macroeconomic and earnings reports dropping in the upcoming, shortened trading week (details posted below). Stay frosty!
Peace,
Matt

Top 3 Charts of Interest
MSFT
Microsoft finally broke out! Thus far it's paying nicely. My trailing stop is currently set to $376. I'm currently looking for a test of $400.
TSLA
Tesla plummeted to the recently posted target of $225. I personally didn't take this trade (I missed the entry), but I if I had, my trailing stop would be $232, and I would be targeting $205.
COIN
BREAKDWON ALERT! If Coinbase doesn't quickly recapture $135, I'd be looking for a fall to $118.
Bonus Chart: BTC
Bitcoin recently cratered but bounced at $42k (aka the 48 EMA). If this support level holds, I'd be watching for a nice bounce trade. This would obviously be invalidated if Bitcoin were to close below $41k.
