Hey family,
If you blinked this weekend, you missed the setup of the decade.
Friday's tariff meltdown wiped $2 TRILLION off the market. Bitcoin crashed 11%. The VIX spiked 32%. Panic everywhere.
Then Sunday night, Trump spoke on Air Force One: "I have a great relationship with China. Xi had a bad moment."
The overnight market reaction? EXPLOSIVE.
This is your complete battle plan for the most critical trading week of Q4.
Crypto’s Most Influential Event
This May 5-7 in 2026, Consensus will bring the largest crypto conference in the Americas to Miami’s electric epicenter of finance, technology, and culture.
Celebrated as ‘The Super Bowl of Blockchain’, Consensus Miami will gather 20,000 industry leaders, investors, and executives from across finance, Web3, and AI for three days of market-moving intel, meaningful connections, and accelerated business growth.
Ready to invest in what’s next? Consensus is your best bet to unlock the future, get deals done, and party with purpose. You can’t afford to miss it.
🔑 5 Things You MUST Know for Monday's Open
💰 Trump Just Gave Bulls the Green Light – His "Xi had a bad moment" comment signals de-escalation. Markets are pricing in a relief rally, not WW3. Trillions sitting on the sidelines may flood back in.
🏦 Bank Earnings Tsunami Starts Tuesday – JPM, GS, C, BLK, WFC, MS, BAC, SCHW all report before the bell. This sets the tone for the entire Q3 earnings season. Expectations: beats across the board.
🔥 CPI Wednesday = Market Nuclear Event – Consumer Price Index drops 8:30 AM + Full Moon. This single data point determines if we rally to year-end or correct 5%. Cool CPI (<3.0%) = moonshot. Hot CPI (>3.5%) = pain.
🪙 Rare Earth Stocks EXPLODING Overnight – China's export restrictions created a bidding war. MP Materials +6.6%, USAR +16%, LEU +8%. The global arms race in critical minerals just went mainstream.
⚡ October Seasonality is BULLISH AF – Historically up 73% of the time with +21.9% average gains. "Uptober" for Bitcoin. Halloween Effect launches Friday (best 6-month period begins). The tailwinds are massive.

🚀 SPECIAL OFFER - THE EDGE YOU'VE BEEN MISSING
Want to see EXACTLY how we navigated Friday's crash and positioned for this bounce?
We'll be trading LIVE this week through every major event:
✅ Tuesday bank earnings reaction
✅ Wednesday CPI volatility
✅ Friday OPEX positioning
🪙 CRYPTO COMMAND CENTER
Bitcoin (BTC): Currently $115,541
After the violent $19 billion liquidation event Friday (worst since COVID), Bitcoin is consolidating beautifully.
Key Levels:
Support: $110,000 (must hold for bull trend)
Resistance: $120,000 (breakout = moon mission)
Target: $125,000+ by Friday if CPI cools
The Setup: October is historically Bitcoin's best month (+21.9% average). We're in a post-halving year. ETF inflows continue. This dip was a gift.
Ethereum (ETH): $4,000 zone
Holding critical support. ETH/BTC ratio improving = alt season prep.
Altcoin Watch:
Solana trending to $220+
Crypto market cap back to $4 trillion
"Uptober" narrative self-fulfilling
Pro Insight: The $19B liquidation flushed all the weak hands. What's left? Diamond hands and institutions. This is how bull runs accelerate.
BELOW IS OUR TRADING IDEALS FOR OUR PREMIUM SUBSCRIBERS…
🎯 YOUR ACTIONABLE GAME PLAN
MONDAY – The Setup Day
Focus: Bank earnings prep, monitor China reaction, assess Friday damage
Key Trades:
Strategy: Build positions Monday for Tuesday's earnings explosion. Trump's de-escalation removed the biggest risk.
TUESDAY – Bank Earnings Tsunami
Game Plan:
Conviction Play: $BLK (BlackRock) – AUM growth is unstoppable, target $1,200
WEDNESDAY – CPI NUCLEAR EVENT 🚨
8:30 AM – The Single Most Important Moment of Q4
This is a Full Moon + CPI combo = maximum volatility. Expect 5-8% intraday swings.
The Three Scenarios:
QQQ target $610-620 (+4-5%)
Bitcoin target $120-125k (+8-12%)
Buy everything: Tech, Growth, Crypto
This unlocks the year-end rally
Choppy, no clear direction
Scalp ranges, don't force it
Wait for Thursday clarity
🔴 HOT CPI (>3.5%) – DEFENSIVE MODE:
Critical Rule: Do NOT trade before 10:00 AM. Let the algos fight it out. Enter on confirmation.
THURSDAY-FRIDAY – Ride the Wave
Thursday: PPI data (inflation pipeline), Housing Starts, TSMC & NFLX earnings
Friday: Monthly OPEX + Halloween Effect launches
Strategy:
Follow Wednesday's momentum
Take partial profits on winners
Halloween Effect begins = most bullish 6-month period
Position for next week's tech earnings (TSLA, NVDA)
💎 HIGHEST-CONVICTION TRADES
Bullish Plays:
3. Bitcoin (BTC) – Entry $110k-116k, Target $125k (+10%), Stop $107k
Catalyst: October seasonality, liquidation flush complete
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 9.0/10
Bearish/Hedge Plays:
$ASML – Puts if <$920 (tariff exposure, short-term risk)
China ADRs – Avoid until clarity (FXI, KWEB)
VIX Calls – Wednesday hedge for CPI volatility
🎃 FINAL WORD: The Opportunity of October
Let me be blunt: This is the best risk/reward setup we've seen in 2025.
Friday's panic created the dip everyone's been waiting for. Trump's pivot removed the tail risk. Bank earnings will beat. October seasonality is legendary. The Halloween Effect (best 6 months) starts Friday.
The Setup:
✅ Trillions on sidelines ready to deploy
✅ Institutional FOMO if we hold $6,500 ES
✅ Bitcoin's "Uptober" pattern intact
✅ Q4 historically strongest quarter
✅ Fed cutting rates = risk-on
The Risks:
⚠️ CPI Wednesday could shock either way
⚠️ Full Moon = emotional extremes
⚠️ Overbought sentiment if we rip too fast
The Play:
Be aggressive but smart. Use Monday-Tuesday to build positions. Let Wednesday's CPI confirm direction. Then ride the momentum into year-end.
30% of fund managers are behind their benchmarks. This might be their last chance to catch up before 2026. When that money moves, it moves fast.
Trade your plan. Not your emotions.
Let's make this week legendary.

P.S. – The traders who bought Friday's panic are already up 3-5% overnight. The traders who wait until "confirmation" will chase at higher prices. Which one are you?
P.P.S. – Gold just hit $4,059 all-time high. Silver squeezed to $51. When precious metals AND crypto rally together, that's telling you something about the dollar. Position accordingly.
