Good Morning!
🌡 TradingLab’s Headline Roundup
Markets are putting on a brave face into today’s U.S. jobs report, with futures modestly higher and the Dow Jones Industrial Average $DJI ( ▲ 0.1% ) notching fresh record territory while the S&P 500 $SPY ( ▲ 0.07% ) and Nasdaq Composite $NDAQ ( ▲ 0.58% ) lag under renewed AI disruption jitters. Financials took a clean hit after an AI-powered tax platform spooked the wealth space, hammering Charles Schwab $SCHW ( ▼ 1.1% ) and Raymond James $RJF ( ▲ 0.81% ) in their worst session since 2020. The market’s laser-focused on payrolls — a materially weak print likely drags April rate-cut bets forward, while anything hot keeps the Fed comfortably sidelined. For now, it’s cautious optimism with traders pretending they’re not sweating the number.
Elsewhere, Ford Motor Company $F ( ▲ 1.95% ) booked a hefty $900m tariff-related charge and a record $11.1bn Q4 operating loss, but stronger-than-expected $9bn operating income guidance was enough to keep the after-hours tape steady. In media land, Warner Bros. Discovery $WBD ( ▼ 0.43% ) is back in M&A theatre, with activists pushing it to rethink Netflix’s $NFLX ( ▲ 1.33% ) bid as Paramount Skydance $PSKY ( ▲ 0.68% ) sweetens its own proposal.

He Called the Top: Belovy’s LINK Short Playing Out Exactly as Planned
The Play
Belovy stepped in with a high-conviction LINK short and wasted zero time.
Pair: LINKUSDT
Direction: Short
Leverage: 20x (cross)
Entries: 9.90 – 8.95 (limit ladder)
Position Sizing:
1% total for initial entries (0.5% + 0.5%)
2% reserved for DCA
Targets:
T1: 8.78 ✅
T2: 8.30
T3: 7.95
T4: 7.65
T5: 7.10
T6: Runners
Stop Loss: Daily candle close above 10.10
Update: Target 1 hit. Stops moved to entry.
Risk = neutral. Position = protected. Pressure = on the downside.
At current levels (~8.56), the trade is sitting around +86% on 20x from entry. Not bad for a “swing trade.”
The Catalyst
LINK had been showing exhaustion into the 9.90–10.00 region — a clear liquidity zone with prior rejection history. Momentum was fading, buyers were thinning out, and broader market structure was starting to lean heavy.
When price failed to reclaim and hold above 10.10, it confirmed weakness. That’s when the short bias made sense.
This wasn’t random. It was structure + liquidity + momentum lining up.
And once 8.78 cracked? The move accelerated exactly as anticipated.
