We discuss Bitcoin's decline and what it would actually take for us to retire Astraeus, making the case that this is a weak consumer story tied to who sits inside the AI CapEx flywheel rather than a reason to abandon the model, and we cover the labor market, the personal savings rate, and the quantum overhang along the way. We close on the SpaceX IPO, breaking down the low float dynamics, the...

This week we dig into the enterprise stimulus flywheel carrying the market, the loop of AI capex and private capital that has memory names like Micron printing record income while the consumer never sees a dollar of it.

We break down the AI bubble debate and why the dot-com comparison misses how this cycle could shift from semis to real-world applications and robotics. Bitcoin is consolidating above MidVAMP and Momo, but we're sitting on hands until the trend flips bullish and completes the trifecta with tech, industrials, and oil. Growth is falling faster than inflation, putting us close to guarded inflation...

We get into why the Nasdaq looks stretched short term but isn't parabolic on the longer view, where Bitcoin sits now that it's finally flipped above Momo, and why the financials lag is the confirmation signal we're watching underneath all this AI strength.

We get into where Bitcoin sits right now and the setup we're watching for getting back in, why the Nasdaq move off the lows isn't as euphoric as it feels once you zoom out, and how the regimes and trends are still telling us the top isn't in.

Every major index has flipped bearish. Inflation impulses are cannibalizing growth and the market is drifting toward a stagflation threshold.

We break down the escalating Iran conflict, surging crude oil prices, and the government's SPR release as a stopgap measure to cool the energy market.
