This edition turns on the tension between NEW: U.S. military strikes three Iranian oil tankers after IRGC launched missiles at U.S. Navy warships, CENTCOM confirms. “Let the message to the IRGC be clear: If you shoot at two of our ships, we will impose an even higher economic cost -- taking out three of yours," Adm. Brad Cooper, CENTCOM’s commander, said in a statement. “We will not hesitate to defend American forces, and if necessary, destroy Iran’s limite… The question for investors is whether the next confirmed price move supports that thesis or rejects it.

The evidence

The macroeconomy and market-policy watch included: NEW: U.S. military strikes three Iranian oil tankers after IRGC launched missiles at U.S. Navy warships, CENTCOM confirms. “Let the message to the IRGC be clear: If you shoot at two of our ships, we will impose an even higher economic cost -- taking out three of yours," Adm.

Private-sector payroll growth averaged 75,000 in the three months through August, excluding health care and education.

The revised outlook comes as July CPI held at 3.4% and payrolls fell by 23,000, underscoring the Fed’s inflation-growth trade-off.

What's could be the next? Full details 🔗

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.
