Good Morning!

Markets threw another tantrum this week, but hey, that’s why you’ve got us. While everyone else is doomscrolling tech stocks and panicking over the Fed’s coin-flip rate decision, we’re over here doing what we do best: cutting through the noise and trading what actually matters.

AI darlings are slipping, Bitcoin lost its grip on $100K, and macro data is still stuck in government-shutdown purgatory. Translation? The tourists are nervous. The pros are positioning. And as usual, we’re early.

This issue breaks down what’s really driving the volatility, what Sherlock’s seeing on BTC, and where the next clean setups are hiding.

If you want to stay ahead of the herd, keep reading.

👉 Read on, because the next setup’s already loading.

Futures are slipping again after Thursday’s sharp selloff - the worst day for stocks in over a month. Tech took the brunt of it, with Nvidia, Broadcom, and Oracle dragging the Nasdaq lower as investors rethink stretched AI valuations.

Uncertainty around the Fed isn’t helping. With the shutdown freezing key economic data, traders are flying half-blind heading into December’s meeting, and rate-cut odds have dropped to a coin flip.

Applied Materials added pressure after warning that China’s spending on chip equipment will fall next year due to U.S. export rules. Meanwhile, early state-level data shows jobless claims edged down, but not enough to shift the Fed’s stance.

Bitcoin joined the risk-off move, breaking below $100K as flows from big institutions and ETFs slowed.

Bottom line: tech fragility + rate uncertainty + missing data = choppy markets ahead.

Sherlock didn’t flinch. He got stopped out at $96K, shrugged, and immediately went back to reading the real signal: stablecoin dominance.

Here’s the setup he’s stalking next:

No revenge trades. No panic flips. Just precision.

Everyone wants to blame “market sentiment” when price drops, but the truth is far less mystical:

Rate-cut odds for December collapsed.

Tech stocks bled.

BTC, which behaves like a tech stock with an identity crisis, followed.
That’s it. No conspiracy.

Layer in delayed economic data and radio silence from Fed officials, and you get a market that’s jumpy, confused, and selling first / thinking later.

Sherlock’s stablecoin-dominance read cuts through the noise: liquidity is defensive, but still respecting structure. Which means opportunity, not doom.

This move isn’t bearish.

It’s a setup wearing a dip’s clothing.

The SFP thesis is still alive, stablecoin dominance is mapping out the next inflection point, and BTC’s next high-probability long is lining up exactly where Sherlock wants it: around $92K.

We wait. We strike. We don’t chase.

But here’s the part you need to hear…
