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.

Trick or Treat

Key Weekly Performance Stats:

  • S&P 500: -0.47%
  • Nasdaq 100: -0.79%
  • Russel 2000: +2.09%
  • Bitcoin: -0.52%

Wall Street had a choppy week, with the major indices heading in different directions. The S&P 500 slipped 0.5%, the Nasdaq 100 fell roughly 0.8%, and the Russell 2000 rallied 2%. Tech took the biggest hit as investors started questioning the massive costs behind the AI boom. Meta’s $135 billion to $145 billion spending plans raised some eyebrows, while semiconductor stocks struggled. Tesla beat revenue expectations, but that wasn't enough to shake the broader concerns surrounding tech valuations.

On the economic front, October's flash PMI showed business activity was still growing, although inflation remained a concern. Housing starts fell 5.2%, while leading economic indicators were flat. Meanwhile, tensions between Trump and Iran continued to shake up energy markets, pushing Brent crude above $116 per barrel. Trump suggested the conflict could end quickly, but uncertainty around oil prices remains. Elsewhere, reports of a potential SpaceX wireless carrier weighed on AT&T and T-Mobile.

Next week is shaping up to be a big one. Tuesday brings durable goods orders, new home sales, and consumer confidence. Wednesday features the Fed's rate decision, followed by Q3 GDP and PCE inflation data on Thursday. Friday wraps things up with the employment cost index. Earnings will also be in full swing, with Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Intel, ExxonMobil, and Chevron all on deck. Between the Fed, inflation, earnings, and geopolitical headlines, there's no shortage of potential market movers. As always, stick to your plan and respect your risk. Godspeed.

Best,

Thicc Kohrs
