During earnings season, look at guidance before profits

Don't use last week's rate-cut story to explain today's market.

Calculate technical levels using today's highs and lows; don't force old support levels onto the chart.

S&P 500 7,377 (5-day -2.68%, Yahoo)
Crude oil 90.34 (5-day -6.34%, Yahoo)

BTC 24h high 76378 / low 74888, current price 75860. The Nasdaq is down 3.37% over 5 days, lagging the S&P 500's -2.68%. Growth stocks are falling behind. Chasing AI coins now means catching the beta that U.S. stocks have already started dumping.

ETH +0.52% is outperforming BTC +0.09%, with an exchange rate of 0.02958. This looks like risk appetite spilling over—not BTC acting alone.

VIX is now 25.64. Once it rises above 18, I cut my futures position in half. I'm not going to argue with the U.S. market's closing price.

My position: waiting on the sidelines. Prices haven't picked a direction, and leverage hasn't paid off. Opening a position now would be working for the exchange.

Are you in cash waiting for a pullback, or are you already on board?

Useful fact: Basis = futures price minus spot price. With a positive basis, longs are paying.
Idea: VIX <16: U.S. stocks may grind higher, so you can follow the sentiment; reduce your futures position by one notch first.

Additional context: people are discussing “bitcoin OR stock market OR U.S. stocks” on Google News. I treat that only as background; my conclusions are still based on the figures in the main text.

Personal opinion; figures are from the sources cited in the main text. This is not an instruction to place a trade.
