Market Pulse: Billy's latest alerts

Billy's latest actionable stock and crypto alerts are: September 9, 2026 at 4:20 PM CDT (9 minutes old): $SUNE just lost 4.08 support. It was a good day on it! Been pounding the table on it since yesterday from 2.8-3 to 5 for around 70% move!! What a beautiful play! I hope that some of you banked on it I will keep my eyes on it all the week for more moves and continuation. September 9, 2026 at 2:09 PM CDT (2h 20m old): Long $AAPL CDS $317.5/$322.5 - $1.74 - Expires Friday September 9, 2026 at 1:12 PM CDT (3h 17m old): Long $GLD $405.12 - not just a technical play but with bonds in their current state $GLD may just be getting started These are Billy's recorded entries, targets, updates, and risk limits—not newly generated recommendations.

The evidence

The macroeconomy and market-policy watch included: Even if fiscal adjustment law achieves full 2.2% of GDP consolidation target, deficits likely to significantly surpass Fitch's previous forecasts: Fitch Failure to implement consolidation steps with persistent high deficits and a steepening debt/GDP path could increase rating pressure: Fitch JUST IN: Trump: Oil prices will decrease with decrease after election.

Targets and expectations

The source-backed decision levels are: $SUNE just lost 4.08 support. It was a good day on it! Been pounding the table on it since yesterday from 2.8-3 to 5 for around 70% move!! What a beautiful play! I hope that some of you banked on it I will keep my eyes on it all the week for more moves and continuation. Long $AAPL CDS $317.5/$322.5 - $1.74 - Expires Friday Long $GLD $405.12 - not just a technical play but with bonds in their current state $GLD may just be getting started $SUNE just lost 4.08 support. It was a good day on it! Been pounding the table on it since yesterday from 2.8-3 to 5 for around 70% move!! What a beautiful play! I hope that some of you banked on it I will keep my eyes on it all the week for more moves and continuation. Joao Wedson says exchange data is signaling weakness, raising the risk that crypto bulls face near-term pressure. The warning follows his recent call that Bitcoin could still fall below $57,000, while Dogecoin screens as historically undervalued. Strategist Tracy Shuchart says U.S. gasoline below $2 after the EIA basis change has historically aligned with difficult market periods. She cites 2002, 2008, 2016 and 2020 as examples, framing the price level as a potential warning signal. 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.
