Market Pulse: Billy's latest alerts

Billy's latest actionable stock and crypto alerts are: September 4, 2026 at 11:11 AM CDT (2h 18m old): Long $MU CDS 1020/1030 for $3.45 - expires next Friday September 4, 2026 at 9:58 AM CDT (3h 31m old): $SPY STOP LOSS HIT ROUND 2 ENTRY AT 11am September 4, 2026 at 9:49 AM CDT (3h 40m old): Heavy average down on $SPY CALLS NOW September 4, 2026 at 9:00 AM CDT (4h 29m old): Exit $APP Puts (again) for another profit - this time $2.25 per contract September 4, 2026 at 9:00 AM CDT (4h 29m old): $GAIA IS NOW UP 40% FROM OUR EARLY EVERY REMEMBER 7-15% STOP LOSS IF YOU ARE NEW September 4, 2026 at 8:59 AM CDT (4h 30m old): Exit $NVDA with $4.24 profit per share These are Billy's recorded entries, targets, updates, and risk limits—not newly generated recommendations.

The evidence

The macroeconomy and market-policy watch included: David Andolfatto says the Taylor rule may not remain optimal if government behavior turns unpredictable. The point challenges a core benchmark for Fed policy: rules that work under stable governance may falter when fiscal or political signals become erratic. Michael Kao says the post-jobs rise in U.S. Treasury yields reflects bond market normalization, not an immediate fiscal debt crisis. He adds that AI and broader market forces are acting as a debt governor during the economic adjustment. A surprisingly strong U.S. employment report is diverging from weaker recent readings from ADP and Paychex, underscoring a split in key labor-market indicators. Bob Elliott said the contrast stands out against other widely watched jobs data. LATEST: 🇨🇳🇮🇷 US says no Iranian crude oil tanker reaches China via Hormuz after US blockade. JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Federal Reserve now projected to raise interest rates by 25 bps this month after August jobs report nearly triples expectations.

Targets and expectations

The source-backed decision levels are: Long $MU CDS 1020/1030 for $3.45 - expires next Friday $SPY STOP LOSS HIT ROUND 2 ENTRY AT 11am Heavy average down on $SPY CALLS NOW Exit $APP Puts (again) for another profit - this time $2.25 per contract $GAIA IS NOW UP 40% FROM OUR EARLY EVERY REMEMBER 7-15% STOP LOSS IF YOU ARE NEW Exit $NVDA with $4.24 profit per share Bullish or bearish confirmation requires price to move through Billy's stated trigger or target; a stated stop, closure, or move back through the entry invalidates that setup. These are reported levels, not guarantees or fresh recommendations.

Billy's take

My read starts with the biggest verified catalyst, then Bitcoin and broad-market positioning, then the exact support, resistance, or target levels actually stated by the desk. If BWB did not publish a level, I will not make one up. Respect risk and wait for confirmation.
