TikTok's Still Here. And So Is the Rally.

😎 Market Vibes

It's Friday and the vibes are immaculate.
The Fed blinked, small caps broke out, and Trump's dialing Xi like it's 2019 again. Meanwhile, TikTok's dodging bans, oil's pouting, and Micron's hot streak finally cooled off (barely). Markets are dancing, but is this a breakout or just a caffeine high?

Let's get into it 👇

🧃 Juiced but jittery

• 👀 Fed Finally Blinks: Fed makes its first rate cut of the year; markets cheer but demand doubts for oil keep it tense. Wall Street's doing cartwheels, but Main Street's still asking, "Is it safe to spend yet?"

• 📞 Xi On Line: Markets on edge as Trump preps high-stakes Friday call with Xi Jinping-investors watching for trade clues and potential tariff posturing. Any whiff of tariffs or TikTok drama and algos are ready to flip the table.

• 📦 FedEx Flies High: FedEx beats on Q1 profits thanks to strong U.S. parcel business and tight cost controls. Turns out, charging $12 to ship socks is a pretty solid business model.

• 🛢️ Crude Reality Check: Oil prices slip despite rate cut optimism-demand worries and rising inventories weigh. Apparently, lower interest rates don't make people drive more when gas is $5 and vibes are off.

• ✂️ Kashkari Hints Again: Fed's Kashkari says two more rate cuts likely this year due to softening job creation. Translation: the labor market is sweating, and Jay Powell just tossed it a Gatorade.

Only 10 companies in human history have done this

💸 Trade Talk

The Fed finally tapped the brakes on tight policy - and the market's treating it like an early Christmas gift. We're not talking panic cuts here; this is a controlled easing, and investors are betting Powell just threaded the needle.

Growth stocks are catching a second wind, small caps are waking up from their 2023 coma, and even bonds are smiling for once. If the data holds, this could be the first time in years the Fed and the market are actually vibing.

🧠 Big Brain Energy

Trump's surprise call with Xi could thaw more than just tariffs - TikTok's parent ByteDance just scored a win with its 170 million U.S. users still onboard under the new deal.

Because nothing unites markets like ad revenue, regulatory peace, and a platform with more eyeballs than most major media outlets.

Mystery DeFi protocol breaks records

A leading DeFi project just smashed through $50 billion in Total Value Locked—an all-time record that puts it ahead of most traditional financial institutions. But here's the real story: This happened while Bitcoin dominance crashed to a 4-month low of 60.9%. The altcoin season index just crossed above 50 for the first time since December, and this protocol surged 20% in a single week as capital rotates from Bitcoin into DeFi powerhouses. When altcoin season fully kicks in—which the data suggests is happening RIGHT NOW—this project is poised to see massive moves.... Discover the protocol that’s quietly replacing traditional finance.

🧨The Outrage Meter

Micron's 12-day heater finally ended... and analysts still tripping over each other to boost price targets before earnings.

At this point, if MU sneezes, Goldman's upgrading it to a "Buy With Confidence And Tissues."
