SPX Time@Mode #2: Downtrend erased, Friday decides the advance The SPX weekly downtrend triggered on the 9/16 FOMC hike and has been retraced away: the bar trades 7,696.42 on Monday, back above the range the signal was built on. This week the tape has to trade the hike into September's live data calendar without the FOMC available as a hiding place: S&P Global Flash PMI Wednesday, Initial Jobless Claims and New Home Sales Thursday, Durable Goods and the SCOOS credit survey Friday, plus Xi Jinping in Washington and Costco after the Thursday close.

FSLR: U.S. Solar Tariffs Could Create a Pricing-Power Catalyst First Solar is setting up an interesting fundamental and technical scenario as the U.S. moves closer to imposing steep anti-dumping and countervailing duties on solar imports from India, Indonesia and Laos. The key point is not simply that tariffs make imported panels more expensive. First Solar uses CdTe thin-film technology, while the current trade case focuses on crystalline-silicon photovoltaic products. That gives FSLR a potentially favorable competitive position if imported c-Si modules

BOND Break Out?💣 Bonds Near a Major Breakout — And It’s Not Bullish for Risk Assets We’re approaching a critical breakout zone in bonds. At first glance, you might think: “High demand for U.S. debt?

Can the Australian Dollar Survive Fed Hikes?Macroeconomic Divergence The Federal Reserve raised its target range to 3.75% to 4.00% on September 16, 2026. The vote was unanimous at 12-0. This was the first US rate increase since July 2023. Updated projections signal another hike may follow this year. The move narrowed Australia’s yield advantage without erasing it. The RBA cash rate sits at 4.35%, still above the new US range. The Reserve Bank hiked three times earlier in 2026, then held in August. Markets now price roughly a 78% chanc

Free Markets Set Rates Not The FED!"Blame the FED" is such a bullscitt excuse for all political economic theories. It's the villain in their cute story where they are the hero. In reality, it's the free markets that set rates, not the FED. The FED is always late to the party. This time was no different. The Fed raised .25 bp today. A surprise to no one who understands economics and finance. What is a pleasant surprise is that the FED has not been taken over by Trumpchenko. This keeps the FED's independence & credibility intact.

Market Crash Explained – Why It Happens So Fast A market crash rarely begins with one massive red candle. Usually, it starts much more quietly: price begins to weaken, buyers lose momentum, and a key support level breaks.

A market falls sharply when the number of people trying to sell far exceeds the number of buyers willing to step in at the current price. The trigger can be a recession, financial

What Peter Lynch Saw First Peter Lynch became one of the most respected investors of his generation by doing something that sounds simple but is extremely difficult: finding businesses that were worth more than the market believed. From 1977 to 1990, he managed the Fidelity Magellan Fund and generated an exceptional long-term return. His approach was not about predicting every market move or finding the next hot stock. It was about understanding businesses, identifying changes in their fundamentals, and recognizing when t

Split the entry and the stop moves with it Most people run one clock over everything they own. One method, one holding period, one way of placing a stop, applied to a two-week idea and a two-year idea alike. That's how you end up right about a company and stopped out of it anyway. Take the slow version, a position built around a rising long-term average rather than around a weekly trigger. Price finally arrives in the area you'd been waiting for. Three things are now different from a swing entry, and only one of them is obvious. Fir
