Hey Traders,
Markets are splitting hard this morning. Equities are aggressively ripping higher, driven by relentless demand for semiconductor stocks and the broader AI trade. Meanwhile, our baseline crypto market analysis reveals severe digital asset exhaustion. Bitcoin is trapped in a proper consolidation, with Bollinger Bands compressing to their narrowest levels since October 2023.
The macroeconomic backdrop is shifting rapidly as global allocators reposition. Oil prices remain volatile despite escalating geopolitical risk. A dovish shift in Fed policy expectations has pushed the odds of a September rate pause to 64%. Leveraged ETFs are capitalizing on this repricing, actively forcing major benchmark indices upward.
While traditional macro trading thrives, the digital asset sector waits for a definitive catalyst. Miners are abandoning hash rate infrastructure for massive artificial intelligence compute deals. This structural rotation leaves baseline on-chain data and the broader altcoins market heavily mute

Looking for a short trade on LINK as price pushes into a strong high-confluence resistance zone. We have the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement, previous month high, a beautiful undercarriage resistance, and the macro range Point of Control (POC) all lining up within the same area.
I’m looking to scale into the short across two entries before targeting a rotation back toward the anchored VWAP.

Looking for a liquidity sweep here on Pendle before we get the bigger bounce as pendle , I like how the POC lines up with the 0.786 as well as the trendline. Im viewing this as an internal (b) wave of the Larger B wave and because of that i have kept the SL below the 0.887 level that is common for a B wave

XLM has fallen back into the previous range and the fore i expect the low levels to be test as it was never properly test of the deviation and reclaim , so looking to target the lower portions of the imbalance created. i will be targeting the range high as my main TP zone
Trade Levels:
Entry: $0.1488
Stop Loss: $0.1437

TP1: $0.1691
86.5% says this is over. But 12.5% says Ferrari still has bullets.
Mercedes 86.5% | Ferrari 12.5% | McLaren 1.5%
Ferrari’s 12.5% is the “we have the car but not the consistency” price.
One clean weekend changes everything. Two clean weekends makes it a race.
McLaren at 1.5%? That’s the “Oscar Piastri does something legendary” option.

(AMZN refers to the stock of Amazon and not a cryptocurrency.)
Looking for a long trade on Amazon after price created a new high and is now retracing into a strong confluence zone. The area contains the 0.5–0.618 Fibonacci retracement, an unmitigated weekly pivot, the gap, and anchored VWAPs from both the swing low and swing high.
I’m looking to scale into the position across two entries and target a reaction higher into a potential lower high.
Trade Levels:
Entry: $252
Stop Loss: $248
Take Profit Levels (TP):
TP1: $268
