Good morning.
Markets are turning less bullish. People are remembering that risk comes with potential downside. Some are calling top signals, declaring that it’s all over.
Meanwhile, AI is still crushing it, and the LLM hypebeasts are notching higher and higher valuations (hello, Anthropic). Google shares could rise 71% by next December (analysis below). Institutions are just starting to buy crypto in full force.
We can’t see the future, and this isn’t financial advice. But we don’t feel like the bull run is over yet. Take a look through today’s Market Headlines and let us know if you agree or not.

$GOOGL might have further to run. The stock rose 9% yesterday to a new all-time high after the DOJ announced that Google won’t have to sell Chrome or end its partnership with Apple. Now, Timothy Smith at Investopedia thinks $GOOGL could rise 71% to $395 by December of next year. The chart looks like it could repeat a similar run from 2020 to 2021.
The setup:
Long-term price target: $395
Key support levels: $192 and $151
Watch for near-term profit taking if RSI increases to overbought levels

The Trump family’s net worth was up $6 billion on the launch of the $WLFI crypto earlier this week. World Liberty Financial is Trump’s crypto company, and a portion of its governance token $WLFI just unlocked for trading this week. Some pre-ICO traders are up 25x on their initial investments—but many normal traders are down as much as 40%.
This price action for $WLFI was always going to happen.
All of you will be donating to the Trump family's personal wallet for the rest of his presidency

Apple’s iPhone 17 Air launches next week, but analysts warn of headwinds—and new iPhone reveals have proven to be “sell the news” events in the past. Analysts expect the slimmed-down model to cost up to $999, ship with just one camera, and possibly a smaller battery.
Still, about 80% of sales are projected to come from upgraders trading in older models.
Dollar Tree beat earnings, with Q2 EPS up 13% year over year to $0.77 and same-store sales climbing 6.5%. But shares fell over 10% in premarket trading after weak Q3 guidance spooked investors.
Congress found rare bipartisan unity as lawmakers from both parties introduced a bill to ban members of Congress and their families from trading individual stocks. The proposal gained momentum after years of stalled efforts, with some senators pushing to extend it to future presidents and vice presidents. Make sure to use Congress trade trackers while you can.
