During earnings season, look at guidance before profits
Don't use last week's rate-cut story to explain today's market.
Put the numbers on the table first, then talk about opinions.
Dow 51,286 (5-day -0.94%, Yahoo)
S&P 500 7,377 (5-day -2.68%, Yahoo)
Gold 4,133 (5-day +4.90%, Yahoo)
My take: The Nasdaq is down 3.37% over 5 days, underperforming the S&P 500 at -2.68%. Growth stocks are lagging. Chasing AI tokens now means taking on the beta that US stocks have already started dumping.
Crypto comparison: BTC 75270 (24h -0.73%), ETH 2148 (-4.05%). ETH at -4.05% over 24h is weaker than BTC at -0.73%; exchange rate 0.02853. Capital is concentrating in BTC. Wait for confirmation before moving into altcoins.
What I'm watching next: VIX is now 25.64. If it moves above 18, I'll cut my futures position in half. I'm not going to argue with the US market's closing price.
My position: I only trade pullbacks, not breakout chases. If the structure holds, I can keep a core position; any add-on must wait for a pullback level.
Data: Binance spot 24h / Binance USDⓈ-M / Yahoo daily (5-day change) / altme_fng / mempool_fees / defillama_chains / coingecko_trending. I won't fill in missing numbers.
If a meme coin hasn't outperformed BTC, are you still holding it?

Takeaway: On FOMC night, liquidity tends to pull back first, and breakout orders can easily turn into slippage orders.
Idea: As the 10-year yield rises, valuation stories take a back seat; keep spot positions only at pullback levels.
