Why this edition matters

This edition turns on the tension between Makhtar Diop said digital payments can help small businesses reach more customers, increase revenue and gain a stronger foothold in the formal economy. He also pointed to IFC’s new risk-sharing initiative, with support of up to $700 million. The question for investors is whether the next confirmed price move supports that thesis or rejects it.

The evidence

Targets and expectations

The source-backed decision levels are: $SUNE Suniva Completes $835 Million Capital Raise to Build Second Major U.S. Solar Cell Manufacturing Facility and More Than Quadruple Capacity to 5.5 GW 2.96 and 2.74 are supports Downtrend breakout we go 3.46 4.08 4.6 next 📷 Exit $MU CDS with a couple of cents profit - no need to keep it right now Sold $335 Puts on $GOOGL expiring Friday for $2.40 - looking at the SMA 200 here Long $WYNN $92.21 shares Makhtar Diop said digital payments can help small businesses reach more customers, increase revenue and gain a stronger foothold in the formal economy. He also pointed to IFC’s new risk-sharing initiative, with support of up to $700 million. U.S. Treasury yields rose to fresh highs despite increased long-term buybacks, with the 10-year at 4.84% and the 30-year above 5.3%. Peter Schiff said gold’s rally has faded and argued the moves are more alarming as U.S. debt nears $39.9T. BlackSky Technology was selected as the exclusive provider of very high-resolution electro-optical satellites for what it says is the world’s first AI-enabled satellite constellation. Its Gen3 craft will support a planned 50-satellite network backed by a $1 billion consortium. 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.
