The evidence

The macroeconomy and market-policy watch included: U.S. initial jobless claims remain just above 200,000 despite reports of increased firings, signaling a resilient labor market. E.J. Antoni says post-pandemic workers may be changing jobs with less friction. Gov. Greg Abbott says Texas Democrats are gaslighting voters on affordability, saying that they support an income tax, higher property taxes and Green New Deal policies that could put hundreds of thousands of oil and gas workers out of work. Abbott says those policies won’t happen under his watch, pointing to laws he signed making a state income tax unconstitutional in Texas. ▻ CPI Inflation @​ 830 ET! 🚨 CPI Could Decide Fed's Move, Oil Tops $100 Stock Market Live Lance Roberts says stocks and gold swung sharply on Sept. 11 as investors weighed whether higher rates are finally hitting equities.

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.
