🍽️ Chips Get Served Another Cold One (But With a Side of Hope)
AMD proved that even beating expectations isn't enough when you're living in the land of sky-high AI valuations. The chipmaker reported earnings that topped estimates, with revenue guidance of $9.6 billion for the current quarter - better than Wall Street wanted. But did investors celebrate? Nope. Shares fell 3% in early trading anyway, because apparently "good" just isn't good enough anymore when you've already doubled this year.
The semiconductor selloff wasn't playing favorites either. Nvidia, Broadcom, Taiwan Semiconductor, and Intel all opened with losses, continuing Tuesday's tech tantrum. The cherry on top? A Reuters report that China banned foreign AI chips from data centers using state funds. Because nothing says "bullish tech" like your second-largest market showing you the door.

While everyone's panicking over chip stocks, some traders are quietly crushing it on another volatile tech name...
Most traders spend all day chasing Tesla headlines, reacting to every rumor and price swing. But here's the reality... TSLA's most tradable setups aren't about following the news cycle. They come from clear patterns on the daily chart.
That's why our partners at Big Trends created TSLA Options Trader - a systematic way to trade Tesla's weekly options with one simple framework. And you can claim your free e-book to see exactly how it works.

You don't need deep pockets to get in on the crypto super cycle
I want to show how you can target payouts by tapping into a Bitcoin loophole. A loophole that lets traders like you aim for 10x regular Bitcoin gains. Wall Street has been buying up crypto at a record pace, with Bitcoin at the forefront of their purchases. From what I hear, many of them are even willing to bid above the usual ask price. Why is that? I'll leave that to your imagination. But instead of just jumping right in and holding on to the coin. You can tap into this Bitcoin loophole and target opportunities in the market. Head over here now for the details on this Bitcoin loophole.

📈 Bitcoin Bounces Back (Barely) From Six-Figure Faceplant
Bitcoin crawled back above $103,000 this morning after briefly dipping below the psychologically important $100,000 level earlier this week for the first time since late June. Crypto bros everywhere exhaled as BTC traded around $103,200, trying to shake off Tuesday's 6% nosedive that had everyone panic-texting their "diamond hands" group chats.
The bounce came despite Bitcoin ETFs logging their sixth straight day of net outflows, with $137 million heading for the exits on Tuesday alone. Long-term holders have been distributing an estimated $45 billion worth of coins since October's peak, which is basically the crypto equivalent of your rich uncle slowly selling off his baseball card collection at a garage sale.
Crypto stocks caught the relief rally too, with Coinbase and Strategy both up 1.4% in pre-market trading. But before you mortgage your house for more digital gold, remember: the Fear and Greed Index is sitting at a chilly 23, firmly in "Extreme Fear" territory.

Speaking of crypto opportunities, while Bitcoin gets all the attention, institutional money is quietly flooding into something else entirely... Out of 18,347 cryptocurrencies, there's only ONE that Wall Street can't stop accumulating right now. It’s not a “bluechip”. Not a Layer-1. It’s a DeFi protocol that actually generates revenue… real cash flow from real users.
While retail chases hype, institutions are quietly positioning in the most boring, profitable corner of crypto. A sector this protocol dominates. Get the full story on this institutional DeFi play here.

Target weekly payouts on names like Google, Marvel & Meta
There's a weekly trade that's gone 22 times without failure – a 100% win rate so far. Typically, I set up the trade on Tuesday and wait for it to close out automatically on Friday. And as long as the underlying stock doesn't have an absolute meltdown… You can collect about 500 bucks (on a $2k stake) at the end of the week. Of course, I can't guarantee we'll keep the streak up forever… But there's still room for you to see exactly how the trade is set up... and jump in as we target this week's payout. If you'd like that, here's where to go now.
💪 Gold Holds Firm Above $4,000 While Everyone Freaks Out
While tech stocks are having an identity crisis and crypto can't decide if $100K is a floor or ceiling, gold is just chilling above $4,000 per ounce like the cool kid who doesn't need validation. The yellow metal traded at $4,015 this morning, up 0.87% and maintaining its near-record levels despite a resilient US dollar and fading rate cut expectations.
Gold's been on an absolute tear this year, up 48% compared to the same time last year. That $4,000 psychological level has proven stickier than expected, even as the Fed's cautious stance and limited economic data (thanks, government shutdown) have tempered hopes for additional monetary easing.
The precious metal hit its 2025 high of $4,371 back on October 20, and while it's pulled back a bit, it's still sitting pretty as investors' favorite "I don't trust anything else" hedge. With inflation data showing no signs of cooperating and the Supreme Court about to rule on Trump's tariffs, gold bugs are feeling pretty smug right about now.

And if you think gold's price action is impressive, wait until you see where the REAL institutional money is going in crypto...
There's a "hidden market" where crypto trades for pennies before it ever hits Coinbase or Binance. When assets finally list on mainstream exchanges, retail pays 10-50x more for the exact same tokens institutions bought months earlier.
BlackRock isn't buying Bitcoin at $115,000 on Coinbase. They're buying projects at $0.05 that will list at $2.50. That's the Native Markets.
Our partners at Decentralized Masters have built a complete system that gives everyday investors the same access institutions have. It's called the ABN Wealth System (All-Weather Portfolio, Become the Bank, Native Market Access).
In the "only in America" file, Tesla shareholders are voting today on whether to give Elon Musk a pay package that could be worth up to $1 trillion. Yes, you read that right - with a T. The shareholder meeting is happening as Tesla stock hovers around $461, up 1% in pre-market trading, proving that nothing says "sensible corporate governance" like potentially making one person richer than most countries.
The stock has had a wild ride this year, starting at $400, cratering to $220 in March-April as Musk's political activities alienated customers, then recovering to current levels. Tesla is now up about 13% for the year, slightly lagging the S&P 500's 18% gain. The company faces challenges including declining US market share (now below 45%), door handle safety investigations, and an expected nosedive in EV sales after tax credits expired.
But hey, at least Musk's wealth is up $7 billion as the stock recovered. Democracy in action, folks.

With volatility like Tesla's making headlines, some traders are using a completely different strategy to generate consistent income... The next few months will be tricky... The latest core inflation number held at 2.7%. And with a long cycle of rate cuts in motion, you know what comes next... inflation heating back up.
Our partners at Wealthpin have an unusual escape hatch: A means for regular folks to target "dividends"... not in months or years, but every single week.

💼 ADP Says Jobs Market Isn't Dead Yet (But It's Not Winning Any Races)
The ADP private employment report dropped this morning showing 42,000 jobs added in October, handily beating the consensus estimate of 26,000 and reversing September's 29,000 job loss. Markets rallied on the news because apparently "not terrible" is the new "great" when it comes to economic data.
The better-than-expected jobs number provided some relief after Tuesday's tech-led selloff, suggesting that maybe the labor market isn't about to fall off a cliff. The data comes as the government shutdown continues to limit official economic releases, leaving traders grasping for any breadcrumb of legitimate information about the economy's health.
With weekly jobless claims and productivity data still to come at 8:30 AM ET, today is shaping up to be one of those "data-and-headlines" days where the market jerks around like a caffeinated squirrel. Stay nimble, friends.

💵 Tonight's Earnings Extravaganza: Airbnb, DraftKings, and More
After the closing bell, we're getting earnings from Airbnb, DraftKings, The Trade Desk, Take-Two Interactive, and a bunch of energy names like ConocoPhillips. Airbnb stock has been flatter than week-old soda for the past two years, hovering near 27 forward earnings and about 6 sales, down 7% year-to-date as investors wonder if the company can defend its moat in an increasingly competitive market.
Analysts expect Airbnb to report $2.31 EPS on revenue of about $4 billion, with both numbers showing high single-digit growth. The company needs to prove that its expansion into "Experiences" and new "Services" features (massages, chefs, personal training) can reignite growth beyond just booking places to crash.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments about Trump's tariffs, which could inject serious volatility into markets. Because nothing says "stable investing environment" like waiting for nine justices to decide whether the president can unilaterally reshape global trade.

🎬 Bottom Line
Markets are trying to stabilize after Tuesday's AI-valuation freakout, with futures slightly higher and Bitcoin clawing back above $103K. Gold's holding steady above $4,000 as the ultimate "I trust nothing" trade, while Tesla shareholders decide if $1 trillion is a reasonable bonus for their CEO.
The ADP jobs report came in better than expected, which is good news for the "soft landing" narrative but probably bad news for anyone hoping the Fed will start cutting rates aggressively. Tonight's earnings parade and the Supreme Court tariff drama should provide plenty of entertainment, so buckle up.
And remember: in a market this weird, sometimes the best move is just watching from the sidelines. Or as Warren Buffett probably didn't say but definitely should have: "Be fearful when tech bros are greedy, and greedy when crypto holders are fearful."
