DXY has lost its 15-year uptrend. This is massive for risk-on assets.

@Han_Akamatsu Impossible with that candle ,

Imagine trying to short $SPY for the whole month just because "the volume wasn’t there." ☠️

🚨 Breaking news: President Donald Trump said he just had a conversation with Iran and stated, “I am not happy.”

Everyone make a note of this: $RKLB Failed breakdown. 21EMA reclaim. Gap fill. Three key technical aspects which matter a lot. The move higher is brewing.

Only a loser is shorting at extreme fear Only a loser shorted in the last 1-4 weeks The crash is coming with euphoria, not fear! Preparing for 82-85k, before the big crash!

@BeardoTrader something big is going on, 15% in 30 days, this is not a normal market behavior, is acting like meme stock

I'm starting to think somebody big is trapped short and they're about to blow. $QQQ

AI PRICE TAG: Capex spend as a percentage of free cash flow has been steadily rising. Amazon has been spending heavily and it’s accelerating growth in AWS. Though the rate of spend relative to FCF is likely unsustainable.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” — Orwell. Charlie Kirk. Bondi Beach, Sydney. 9/11. Different moments, same playbook. Whether Isræel was involved or not is beside the point. The pattern is hijacking horror, turning grief into leverage, fear into obedience, tragedy into an agenda. The demand is always the same: don’t think, just comply.

@WisemanCap Buffet will be a seller

That is interesting $META

@LindseyGrahamSC @IBofSC Dam, All fat on this photo

So glad the @IBofSC stopped by my Washington office today.   South Carolina is lucky to have so many community banks – part of what makes our state a great place to live!

Sam @sam_gatlin has been talking about inflation as well

@FinanceLancelot Bullish

U.S. National debt just exceeded 100% of GDP for the first time since 1946

BREAKING 🚨: U.S. Debt U.S. Debt now exceeds 100% of GDP for the first time since World War 2 🤯👀

so the BoJ intervened to prop the yen up... as you can see, the first intervention doesn't work, and if you expand the time horizon to annual periods, the interventions haven't worked as well - so: - short term, jpy gets weaker despite the first intervention - medium term, jpy gets stronger as the BoJ continues to inject heroin into the patient - long term, the patient dies
