Thought of the day
When you trim into strength, you’re not calling a top—you’re buying staying power.
A banked cushion turns the next pullback into routine noise instead of a threat. Locked profits reduce emotion, so you can hold winners and judge price on merit, not fear. The aim is simple: finish the cycle above where you started, with composure.
Cushion + secured profits = Panda Zone.

MARKET ANALYSIS
Good evening,
Today was flat, but felt like a mini-stress test in some areas of the market.
Price remains above the 21dma-structure with another tight near breakeven day, just as it retested the base top area.
Tomorrow we have FOMC, so get ready for some wild, volatile action, probably on both sides. Buckle up… 14:00 Interest Rate decision, followed by the Q&A at 14:30.
That said, breadth remains poor, and I hope FOMC will provide some kick for the market to move and finally see some broader participation in this market.
As long as the price remains above the 21dma-structure and I have traction and healthy action in my PF, I’m not too worried about the still bad breadth.
TLMM DASHBOARD NASDAQ
MARKET INTERNALS
Below daily+weekly structures - good.
21dma-structure reclaim - we need to keep an eye on this tomorrow.
/BTC (Bitcoin)
Daily reversal pivot and 10wma reclaim. It’s looking good for that daily structure reclaim & retest.

PORTFOLIO UPDATE
Hey guys!
Stress-test day, and it was great to see most of the PF and leaders holding up quite well. We're going into FOMC with a much better picture now that if we had run into it...without knowing or expecting anything that would/should/will happen, I like that better this way.
I used that stress-test to re-engage a bit of risk into what held best at already top focus daily+weekly setups, but I decided to add to RKLB on this offering news as it's right at the daily+weekly structures+ma confluence. We'll see tomorrow if it's bought up from here or no, but I like the R:R here a lot.
Now... it's FOMC time tomorrow! GL!
NER down at -1.51% with a -11.60% Open Heat.

ADDED: HOOD, IBIT, RKLB
