Daily Signal
August 12: Core Inflation Cools
Core CPI eased to 2.5% in today's report. Despite the favorable data, the engine is holding firm on its scheduled pause until Thursday's PPI costs are released.
Daily Signal
August 11: The Quiet Recovery
The market's underlying health has completely decoupled from recent price action. Driven by a massive reversal in BTC ETF flows, conditions have fully recovered from the early June slump.
Daily Signal
August 10: Wednesday's CPI
The engine recommends waiting for Wednesday's CPI print before executing any extra buys. Because CPI measures inflation, it heavily influences interest rates and acts as one of the most volatile, market-moving data release on the calendar.
Daily Signal
August 7: Jobs Miss
The July jobs report stumbled with a 23,000 loss, but the weak data provides a silver lining: erasing fears of a September rate hike. With the Fed now expected to hold rates steady instead of raising them, conditions remain favorable.
Daily Signal
August 6: Factories Expanding

Daily Signal
Daily Signal July 14: The inflation relief came from the gas pump
Inflation cooled more than expected: prices fell on the month, the most since 2020, and the pressure for a July rate hike eased. But nearly all of the relief came from energy, and oil has already turned back up.

Daily Signal July 13: HOLD for inflation week
Tomorrow brings the Consumer Price Index, the main US inflation gauge and the number that moves risk assets most. With oil climbing into the print, the engine holds any extra buy until the data clears.
Daily Signal
Daily Signal July 9: Buyers quietly return while the crowd stays fearful
The signal turned favorable with real substance: spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows for the first time in weeks, while the crowd is still at extreme fear. Buyers returning before the mood lifts is the setup patient investors watch for. Next week's inflation data is the test.
Daily Signal
Daily Signal July 8: The quiet tailwind hiding in corporate credit
The clearest signal this week is a quiet one, not a price move: the premium companies pay to borrow eased again, and easy credit quietly pulls money toward risk. Next week's inflation reports are the real test, and until then the signal holds balanced.
Daily Signal
Daily Signal July 7: June's factory and services PMIs are in
This week's clearest signal came from the economy, not the charts: June's factory and services PMIs held in growth. Steady growth with easing inflation is what stocks and crypto want to see, so next week's inflation reports are the real test, with the signal balanced until then.

Daily Signal
June 30, 2026
The market is drifting lower without panicking. Bitcoin's share of the market has eased rather than spiked, the signature of an orderly grind, not a scramble for the exits. A thin holiday week stacked with catalysts could be what finally forces a larger move.
Daily Signal
June 26, 2026
Three months of grind have left crypto washed out, not broken — valuation near a quarter-low, and fear entrenched. But the trend hasn't turned: Bitcoin knocked on its 200-day price trend in May, got rejected, and gave the whole move back.
Daily Signal
June 25, 2026
The inflation print the market braced for came and went this morning, and the calm held. But a cleared macro risk isn't a crypto bottom: outflows accelerated, the downtrend held, the signal eased. Still Neutral today.
Daily Signal
June 24, 2026
