Good Morning!
🌡 TradingLab’s Headline Roundup
Markets are treading water into today’s January CPI, with Dow futures off ~0.2% and S&P/Nasdaq futures slipping 0.1% as traders steady themselves after Thursday’s tech-led rout.
The damage was sharp: Nasdaq Composite $IXI ( ▼ 0.65% ), S&P 500 $SPY ( ▲ 0.73% ), and Dow Jones Industrial Average $DJI ( ▲ 0.76% ), as fresh AI disruption jitters rattled growth names.
Earnings kept tech in focus. Arista Networks $ANET ( ▲ 1.05% ) reiterated margin guidance despite higher memory costs, while Applied Materials $AMAT ( ▲ 1.17% ) delivered an upbeat AI-driven outlook. Pinterest $PINS ( ▲ 1.56% ) disappointed with soft Q1 revenue guidance, citing ad pullbacks and tougher competition.
Macro is the hinge. CPI is expected to cool slightly, but January has a habit of running hot. A firm print likely cements “higher for longer” after strong payrolls; a softer read could revive rate-cut chatter.
Elsewhere, gold is up ~1% on safe-haven flows, while Brent crude ~$67 and WTI ~$63 are steady but tracking a weekly dip.
For now, it’s cautious positioning - nobody wants to be offsides when the inflation number drops.

Structured. Layered. Ruthless.
The Catalyst
While most traders were doom-scrolling, Solana sentiment was quietly shifting. Network activity has been ticking higher again, ecosystem launches are accelerating, and rotation out of crowded mega-cap AI trades has been trickling back into high-beta crypto names.
Add to that improving broader risk appetite in crypto and renewed liquidity flows into Layer-1s , and SOL sitting at technically attractive reclaim levels , and you’ve got a volatility cocktail waiting for a spark.
This wasn’t random. It was positioning ahead of momentum.
Our Take
This is a buy-the-reclaim swing, not a blind breakout chase.
Belovy’s thesis is simple: SOL holds structure above mid-range support, squeezes late shorts, and starts stair-stepping into triple-digit territory again. The staggered targets let us de-risk while keeping exposure if momentum accelerates.
The asymmetric part? Defined invalidation at 56. If it works, it expands fast. If it fails, we’re out clean.
This is what disciplined aggression looks like.
And here’s the uncomfortable truth: while most retail waits for confirmation headlines, our community is already positioned.
