📰 This Week’s Market Intel Drop

Markets bounced hard after last weekend’s 4.5–5% drop, which sent BTC to 76K — all sparked by rising trade war fears from President Trump.

Here’s the quick breakdown of what's going on in crypto land:

🇺🇸 What’s Driving Markets?

• Trump’s New “Tariff” Plan: Not traditional tariffs — he’s calling them levies.
  • Using emergency powers + Section 301 probes on trading partners.
  • Mixed signals = uncertainty.
• Powell’s FOMC Comments:
  • Inflation is still a concern, but trade war impact may be transitory
  • No rate cuts anytime soon, employment still strong.
• Consumer Confidence Crashing 📉
  • Lowest since Jan 2021
  • Especially bad among 55+ age group
  • FED isn’t too worried, but PCE (Friday) is the real key macro signal.

💥 Market Moves & Reactions

• BTC rebounded to 88K, but struggling at resistance.
• Stocks also bounced, including $TSLA, which I added on the dip.
• Memecoins saw action, including FARTCOIN, which I’m bidding in the 0.3–0.5 range.

📊 What’s Next?

• Friday’s PCE report is the big one:
  • YoY inflation expected at 2.5%
  • Core PCE may tick up to 2.7%
• April 2 Tariffs still coming — we don’t know exactly what form yet.
• Quarterly expiry coming Friday; open interest near $100K BTC not expected to trigger major moves.

👀 My Current Positioning

• Bias: Defensive — macro still soft, trade war unclear.
• Watching for dips to 82–83K, possibly back to 73K
• If PCE drops, we could rally to 92K short-term.
• Not deploying heavily unless BTC drops near 76K again or trade war clears.

🔐 Bonus Notes

• Long-term Solana buy zone: Under $120
• BTC long zone: Under $80K
• Hedging with April/May $55 IBIT calls
• Riding $TSLA longs for potential move to $300+
