The “sweet spot poison pill” of index weights: SpaceX’s $12.4 billion passive buying is about to collide head-on with a flood of 2.3 billion shares set to be unblocked
A “non-fundamental” rally triggered by index rules The wave of buying ahead for SpaceX has little to do with its business prospects. It’s more like a mechanical outcome produced after an index construction rule that few people pay attention to gets triggered. The Nasdaq 100’s quarterly rebalance effective September 21 is expected to raise SpaceX’s weighting from 1.25% to about 1.51%. According to a team led by JPMorgan strategist Min Moon, this adjustment will trigger roughly $12.4 billion in passive net buying. The direct reason for the jump in weighting is that the free-float ratio has risen from less than 10% after the IPO to nearly 30%—after more than 1 billion shares of lock-up stock are released, the index rules automatically amplify the inclusion weight of this mega-cap with a market value of more than $2 trillion.
The Fed’s “credibility battle”: after core CPI once again beat expectations, the bad news is fully priced in as September rate-hike odds are 83%
Core CPI again beat expectations: the Fed has been “cornered,” and rate hikes may not be the flood of doom After the nonfarm payrolls, August CPI also came in above expectations. This time, it was not the headline CPI that beat expectations, but the core CPI: core CPI month-on-month was 0.3%, higher than the expected 0.2%; core CPI year-on-year was 2.45%, compared with 2.48% last month—essentially flat. The rise in headline CPI had been fully anticipated and is in line with market expectations. Specifically, the core rise is mainly due to hotels and air tickets. Prices for other core goods and services remained relatively moderate, with rents increasing by less than 0.2% month-on-month. This may explain why, after the data was released, gold first fell and then rose, and U.S. Treasury yields first rose and then fell—this “odd” reaction was as if the data were below expectations. The market may think that the increase driven by travel and holidays is not sustainable.
Will the Federal Reserve raise rates as expected this week? Wall Street is debating: will it end the U.S. stock bull market?
After an unexpectedly strong U.S. CPI report came out last Friday, traders generally expect the Federal Reserve to begin raising rates at this week’s policy meeting—marking the first rate hike in more than three years.
Historically, previous rounds of rate hikes have offered a reference point for today’s market. Based on past experience (though history of course can’t guarantee the future), U.S. stocks may first weaken, then rebound.
Among the six tightening cycles since 1994, during the first four months after the rate-hike cycle began, the S&P 500’s average return was negative.
This suggests that once the “rate-hike shoe” drops, U.S. stocks may look lackluster through the beginning of next year.
As of the close last Friday, the benchmark U.S. equity index, the S&P 500, is up nearly 12% year to date. Strong corporate earnings and a fairly resilient economy have provided solid support for bulls in the stock market.
If you extend the time horizon, the S&P 500’s performance tends to improve gradually: in the 12 months after the start of a rate-hiking cycle, the index’s average return is close to 7%, with a median return of about 11%. (Using median-based statistics helps remove distortions from extreme outliers—for example, the index surged more than 40% after hikes began in March 1997.)
If the Federal Reserve implements a rate hike this Wednesday, it will be the first hike since July 2023—when the Fed raised rates to a range of 5.25% to 5.50%.
Currently, the federal funds rate in the U.S. is at 3.50% to 3.75%. According to the CME Group’s FedWatch tool, futures traders currently assign an 86% probability to a 25-basis-point hike this week.
One positive factor for the market is that mega-scale cloud service providers are still driving growth in excess returns through large-scale AI spending. The S&P 500 component stocks’ forecast for earnings growth in 2027 is expected to reach double digits. If the outlook for AI spending remains unchanged, it may be enough to offset any cooling in optimistic sentiment caused by the rate hikes.
Another bright spot for equities is that although inflation remains sticky, it appears to be slowing. The inflation rate has fallen from a May peak of 4.2%. This should allow the Federal Reserve to take a more gradual approach, and the data shows that the pace of rate hikes is crucial for stock performance—slower pacing gives investors more time to absorb policy changes! $BZ
I made money—earned 48 US dollars. Now playing event contracts is getting harder and harder. Getting some real “meat” is really not easy. My daily living expenses are in hand. (ps: I’m recovering; when I’m back, I’ll stream steadily again. The preliminary plan is still the same old schedule: event contract at 7:00 AM, and perpetual contract at 10:00 PM)
🧧🔥🧧🔥🧧🔥 The recent market action is genuinely a back-and-forth probing. Here are 3 supporting indicators to help you verify a true breakout: Spot CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta): Check whether the breakout is driven by spot active buying or by leveraged futures. If spot CVD and the contract price both make new highs at the same time, the odds of a real breakout are extremely high. If only the contracts pump while spot CVD stays flat, it’s often a false breakout. SR-Flip (Resistance-to-Support confirmation): After a breakout, wait for the first pullback on the 5M/15M timeframe. If, when price retests the prior high resistance zone, it shows reduced volume and does not break down, it confirms that resistance has successfully flipped into support—an excellent right-side entry point with relatively low risk. Liquidation Heatmap: If a large short liquidation pool (Liquidation Pool) has accumulated above key highs, then after price pierces through that area, if OI drops sharply, it indicates the liquidation has been completed and short-term momentum has largely been exhausted. Follow me—answer 1 and take the $SOL red envelope. 🧧🔥🧧🔥🧧🔥

I never want to lose you, because life feels different in the best way when you're in it. You became someone my heart feels safe with, someone I never want to imagine living without. Even the thought of losing you hurts deeply, because you mean more to me than simple words can explain. And no matter what life puts us through someday, I still hope we find our way back to each other every time.
📊 The Great Decoupling: BTC’s Correlation Flips from Nasdaq to Gold! 🟡📈 A massive structural shift is taking place in Bitcoin's market behavior. If we look back to March, BTC's 90-day correlation stood at 0.57 with the Nasdaq-100 and just 0.21 with gold. Fast forward to today, and those figures have completely flipped: Current Nasdaq-100 Correlation: Dropped to 0.22 📉 Current Gold Correlation: Surged to 0.57 📈 👉 What does this mean for traders? This dramatic shift suggests that Bitcoin is transitioning away from acting like a high-beta tech stock and is increasingly behaving like a traditional safe-haven asset aligned with gold. As macroeconomic uncertainties persist, BTC's role in institutional and retail portfolios may be evolving right before our eyes. How are you positioning your portfolio for this macro shift?
