Market Pulse: Billy's latest alerts

Billy's latest actionable stock and crypto alerts are: September 16, 2026 at 1:14 PM CDT (3h 15m old): Long $AAPL CDS $335/$340 for $1.70 Expires Friday September 16, 2026 at 12:23 PM CDT (4h 6m old): Long Strangle on $SPY - Expires Friday - $765 Calls and $752 puts for $3.86 September 16, 2026 at 10:36 AM CDT (5h 53m old): $FTFT A+ setup just like $MEDS and $RETO low float, holding all month gains and getting volume 8.35 breakout will send it 9 10.32 13 14.88 📷 September 16, 2026 at 10:31 AM CDT (5h 58m old): I sold the $320 Puts on $APP for $3.30 - expiring Friday These are Billy's recorded entries, targets, updates, and risk limits—not newly generated recommendations.

The evidence

The macroeconomy and market-policy watch included: 🇺🇸 FED CHAIR KEVIN WARSH: Today’s decision was the right move to ensure stable prices, supported by the underlying strength of the US economy. ▻ Trump: Interest rates in the US should be 1%, or less. Lower the interest rates, and fast - Truth Social US-Mexico trade talks have been pushed back one week - WSJ. Neel Dutta of Renaissance Macro Economic Research said the Federal Reserve is likely to deliver more rate hikes than the market expects, arguing that the latest forecast revisions point to a still-restrictive policy stance ▻ Stocks Sink to Lowest Since July as Fed Signals Further Tightening – US Market Wrap

Targets and expectations

The source-backed decision levels are: Long $AAPL CDS $335/$340 for $1.70 Expires Friday Long Strangle on $SPY - Expires Friday - $765 Calls and $752 puts for $3.86 $FTFT A+ setup just like $MEDS and $RETO low float, holding all month gains and getting volume 8.35 breakout will send it 9 10.32 13 14.88 📷 I sold the $320 Puts on $APP for $3.30 - expiring Friday Posted Every version your campaign needs can come from assets you already shot: a different colorway in frame, another market, three more aspect ratios, two more languages. On September 29, Anne-Isabelle "Leo" de Bokay, Technical Artist at Runway, runs the versioning workflow on one finished asset, from testing an edit on a single frame to holding brand consistency across all 20 outputs. Live at 9:00 AM PT, with Q&A… #Privacy is the only crypto sector still above #Bitcoin’s October 2025 high, up 213% 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.
