Nine/Eleven CPI
This will be brief, for a reason that will soon be clear. The CPI came in this morning at expectations, although the situation with unemployment has experienced a sea change. The steady diminishment has been replaced by a surge in demand for something no one wants to see – – checks paid for people unable to find work.

Shriveling Small Caps
This is annoying. What now, Tim? The market is down for the first time in seventeen years, so what’s the problem?

Inflection Point Here on Bitcoin
Back in my post on 11th April I called the likely start of a strong rally which we then saw.
Back in my post on 12th May I called for new all time highs on Bitcoin (BTCUSD) and laid out possible IHS scenarios on both Solana (SOLUSD) and Ethereum (ETHUSD), looking for ideal right shoulder lows on Solana in the 125.43 area and on Ethereum in the 2074.27 area. That hasn’t gone quite as I drew then but essentially both are still running that scenario, though Ethereum has now reached the IHS target.
Back in my post on 23rd June I called the likely lows on those right shoulders made on Solana at 126.09 and on Ethereum at 2113.65, and was looking for that IHS scenario on both to start to play out.
Back in my post on 18th July I was looking at the IHS that had since broken up on Ethereum and the progress made towards the IHS neckline on Solana.
