Why this edition matters

This edition turns on the tension between Wendy O says she is staying with bitcoin’s uptrend rather than betting on a pullback, citing the chance of a final bull-market surge ahead. The crypto commentator has previously argued patience rewarded holders as bitcoin climbed toward $80,000. The question for investors is whether the next confirmed price move supports that thesis or rejects it.

Market Pulse: Billy's latest alerts

Billy's latest actionable stock and crypto alerts are: September 4, 2026 at 11:11 AM CDT (26h 18m old): Long $MU CDS 1020/1030 for $3.45 - expires next Friday September 4, 2026 at 9:58 AM CDT (27h 31m old): $SPY STOP LOSS HIT ROUND 2 ENTRY AT 11am September 4, 2026 at 9:49 AM CDT (27h 40m old): Heavy average down on $SPY CALLS NOW September 4, 2026 at 9:00 AM CDT (28h 29m old): Exit $APP Puts (again) for another profit - this time $2.25 per contract September 4, 2026 at 9:00 AM CDT (28h 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 (28h 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: 🇺🇸 OIL SURGES: GAS PRICES SET TO BREAK $4/GALLON THIS LABOR DAY AS MIDDLE EAST TENSIONS PUSH OIL HIGHER. ⛽️📈 🇺🇸 U.S. TREASURY IS BUYING BACK $14.5 BILLION OF ITS OWN DEBT NEXT WEEK. Peter Schiff says bond yields have climbed to their highest level since 2007, signaling a broad turn from buying to selling in the Treasury market. Earlier this month, the 30-year Treasury yield topped 5.3% as U.S. debt neared $39.9 trillion. 🇺🇸 Bitcoin Holds Near $80K Amid Iran Escalation #Bitcoin remained largely unchanged near $79,800 after the U.S. #struck three Iranian oil tankers following attacks on U.S. #warships. 🔗 Know more in comments Eric Basmajian says the key takeaway from the August U.S. jobs report is the ongoing upturn in cyclical payrolls. The call comes as broader labor signals remain mixed, with recent unemployment declines occurring alongside job losses and labor-force exits.

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.
