There’s a very simple formula that works on Sunday open into the Asian session and overnight until the London opening . Thereafter , well , it’s grouse shooting season . Be aware of the shenanigans , just giving the heads up to anyone with open positions .,
.....And that formula can be yours for the low low price of $99.95 plus shipping and handling. But wait, there's more! Order in the next 9 minutes and VC will slash that price by 15%! (Plus tariff for those in the US). Call now to order!

Why bother? Simply have a bidding process. Ask each candidate to submit a sealed bid for their lowest Fed funds rate next year. Pick whoever is lowest.
Careful what you wish for, Trump might prefer NIRP over ZIRP if it juices the economy sufficiently heading into midterms

Leverage and a shortened week gives rise to volatility .

I’m with you on the NQ ghost , how long after that depends on the overnight shenanigans . Then after those shenanigans we have the European session , pondering to run with the direction or to reverse the overnight shenanigans .

It’s all a fun fare ride . For now , like yourself I’m a happy bunny . There’s always a pattern into Sunday open if you view the previous week closing prices .

Of course this is presuming IG opening prices are correct.

How many times (in different ways) has Trump said he's chosen a chair already? Interviewing over next few months? I guess it could be for show....

Wonder how the Fed Chair could bring rate to Trump expected level if he does not have a VETO The other members are equally qualified and cannot be pushed around, is the woman that has been harassed but sustained by the courts that will do Trump's bidding. Unless he change the law to suit his purpose. FED Chair vote now a weight of 40%
It's a board, to be sure, but the chair does have significant influence. Beyond that, simply ensuring a vote in your favor exists at every meeting can skee things a lot. Look no further than the last SEP for a 2026 expected cut #. Without that far outlier dot (Miran?), but the plot suggests something less attractive for the future.

This is the most delicious period of time for Trump. The period of time where he can exert the most power, control and observe the applicants potential sycophancy and compliance. This is how one obtains “the best people”.
Similarities to how for a bikie gang you have to be a nom to earn your patch, or the necessary requirements to be made in the mafia.

Bitcoin relationship to equities currently. Below 80k quite bearish, above 90k very bullish. 80k to 85k somewhat bearish, 85k to 90k somewhat bullish.

It’s been an exact relationship since it broke 90, it is obvious to anyone who wishes to take the time to look at it. Most likely will not last an extended amount of time but might as well use it while it is working. Working quite well since the opening today.

Trump: Ukraine "leadership" has expressed zero gratitude; Europe continues to buy oil from Russia
From @realDonaldTrump | Nov 23, 2025 | 48 comments
The War between Russia and Ukraine is a violent and terrible one that, with strong and proper U.S. and Ukrainian LEADERSHIP, would have NEVER HAPPENED. It began long before I took office for a Second Term, during the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration, and has only gotten worse. If the 2020 Presidential Election was not RIGGED & STOLEN, the only thing the Radical Left Democrats are good at doing, there would be no Ukraine/Russia War, as there wasn’t, not even a mention, during my first Term in Office. Putin would never have attacked! It was only when he saw Sleepy Joe in action that he said, “Now is my chance!” The rest is history, and so it continues. I INHERITED A WAR THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED, A WAR THAT IS A LOSER FOR EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE SO NEEDLESSLY DIED. UKRAINE “LEADERSHIP” HAS EXPRESSED ZERO GRATITUDE FOR OUR EFFORTS, AND EUROPE CONTINUES TO BUY OIL FROM RUSSIA. THE USA CONTINUES TO SELL MASSIVE $AMOUNTS OF WEAPONS TO NATO, FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UKRAINE (CROOKED JOE GAVE EVERYTHING, FREE, FREE, FREE, INCLUDING “BIG” MONEY!). GOD BLESS ALL THE LIVES THAT HAVE BEEN LOST IN THE HUMAN CATASTROPHE! President DJT

'A very close call': Economists say long-awaited September jobs report complicates Fed rate cut path

This past week's release of the long-delayed September jobs report complicates the Federal Reserve's path forward when the central bank makes its next decision on interest rates in December, Wall Street economists said.
