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.

Goonie Newsletter (October 20th - 24th)

Markets Chop, Chop, Chop!

Key Weekly Performance Stats:

  • S&P 500: +1.70%
  • Nasdaq 100: +2.46%
  • Russel 2000: +3.71%
  • Bitcoin: -5.77%

Last week, the stock market posted a modest recovery, with major indexes bouncing after tariff-spooked declines and banking jitters. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both gained ground, led by strength in tech and small-cap segments as investors brushed aside a thin data calendar and leaned into hopes for a smoother trade outlook. The fact that markets remained open on Monday despite the federal holiday helped keep trading normal, though volumes were lighter than usual.

On the economic and policy front the story was mostly about what wasn’t published. The ongoing federal government shutdown held back key releases such as the consumer-price index, retail sales and other big data points, leaving markets with just the anecdotal commentary and earnings cues. Market participants therefore leaned heavier on corporate results and central-bank commentary, with the Federal Reserve’s remarks and shutdown-related risks coming into sharper focus. Against this backdrop, rate-cut expectations remained alive but muted, since policymakers lack fresh hard numbers to act on.

Earnings season picked up extra significance in this environment. With the macro calendar essentially blank, company reports (especially from banks, tech names and industrials) became the centrepiece of investor attention. Those businesses that indicated stable demand, manageable input costs or successful cost discipline received a boost, while firms more cautious or conflicted drew sharper sell-offs. Overall the market held its ground and nudged higher despite elevated uncertainty and thinner than normal participation.

Looking ahead to next week, there are more tangible data releases. The Leading Economic Index will be released early in the week, followed by existing-home sales mid-week and the much-anticipated rescheduled September CPI data on Friday. These publications should give markets the firmer footing they’ve lacked and may force a more decisive move on the Fed’s policy path. As always, stick to your trading plan and respect your risk. Godspeed.

Best,

Thicc Kohrs
