According to @KobeissiLetter, Apple (AAPL) reported stronger-than-expected earnings and a $132 billion cash pile at 4:30 PM ET, saw shares drop about 5% by 4:31 PM ET, then rebound roughly 8% by 4:45 PM ET, adding around $320 billion in market cap and turning positive, underscoring extreme post-earnings and AI-driven volatility, source: @KobeissiLetter. Apple is a top weight in the Nasdaq 100, so a rapid swing of this magnitude can shift index futures and near-term risk appetite across tech benchmarks watched by cross-asset traders, source: Nasdaq Indexes. Research has documented higher co-movement between crypto and equities in risk-on and risk-off regimes, meaning BTC and ETH can react alongside large-cap tech volatility during key earnings windows, source: International Monetary Fund.

According to @stocktalkweekly, Microsoft (MSFT) reported EPS of $4.13 versus the $3.66 consensus and revenue of $77.67B versus $75.39B, delivering a clean top- and bottom-line beat (EPS +$0.47 or +12.8%; revenue +$2.28B or +3.0%), source: @stocktalkweekly. Traders often treat simultaneous EPS and revenue beats at mega-cap tech as risk-on signals for broader equities, which can feed into crypto risk appetite via cross-asset flows, source: Coin Metrics, Kaiko. Bitcoin (BTC) has historically shown periods of positive rolling correlation with tech-heavy indices like the Nasdaq 100, so monitoring MSFT price action and Nasdaq futures into the next session may help gauge potential spillovers to BTC and ETH liquidity, sources: Coin Metrics, Kaiko, with earnings figures source: @stocktalkweekly.

According to @StockMKTNewz, Amazon (AMZN) announced 14,000 corporate job cuts today as the first step in layoffs expected to affect up to 30,000 corporate roles, citing The Wall Street Journal. For trading, the confirmed scale points to lower headcount-related operating expenses over time, source: The Wall Street Journal via @StockMKTNewz. Near-term earnings could reflect severance and restructuring charges under U.S. GAAP exit and disposal cost guidance, source: FASB ASC 420. Given elevated stock-crypto co-movement since 2020, crypto traders may watch Nasdaq and AMZN price reactions for spillover to BTC and ETH risk sentiment, source: International Monetary Fund 2022 analysis of Bitcoin–equity correlations.

According to @StockMKTNewz, the busiest earnings week of the quarter is here with reports from Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet/Google (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), Meta Platforms (META), UnitedHealth (UNH), Eli Lilly (LLY), Exxon Mobil (XOM), and Visa (V), with more names listed via an extended calendar link (source: @StockMKTNewz on X, Oct 26, 2025; source: @EarningsHubHQ on X). For traders, these mega-caps are among the heaviest weights in major U.S. indices, so concentrated earnings can drive index-level volatility and cross-asset risk sentiment (source: S&P Dow Jones Indices, S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 factsheets, 2024). Rising co-movement between crypto and equities since 2020 means BTC and ETH can react around high-volatility equity catalysts like mega-cap earnings weeks (source: International Monetary Fund, 2022).

According to @StockMarketNerd, year-to-date equity sentiment is bifurcated, with investors preferring the lowest quality stocks or the Magnificent 7 mega caps, reflecting a barbell risk-on theme; source: @StockMarketNerd on X, Oct 20, 2025. Historically, risk-on leadership in U.S. equities has coincided with higher correlations between BTC, ETH and major stock indexes, implying potential spillovers into digital asset momentum when mega cap tech and high beta equities lead; sources: IMF Global Financial Stability Report October 2022 and European Central Bank Macroprudential Bulletin 2022. Traders can monitor return concentration in the Magnificent 7 versus low quality small caps and track the 30-day rolling correlation of BTC and ETH to the Nasdaq 100 to gauge cross-market risk appetite; sources: @StockMarketNerd on X and IMF Global Financial Stability Report October 2022.

According to @StockMKTNewz, Salesforce (CRM) stated it expects $60 billion in FY2030 revenue excluding Informatica, signaling a long-term growth path for the software giant; source: Bloomberg via @StockMKTNewz. Using Salesforce’s reported FY2024 revenue of about $34.9 billion, the FY2030 target implies roughly 9–10% compound annual growth, a concrete benchmark for valuation models; source: Salesforce FY2024 Form 10-K and Bloomberg via @StockMKTNewz. Salesforce is a constituent of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500, making its multi-year guidance relevant for index-linked flows and sector sentiment; source: S&P Dow Jones Indices. For crypto traders, tech-led risk sentiment matters because BTC’s rolling correlation with the Nasdaq 100 has been positive during multiple windows in 2023–2024, so strong guidance from major software names has at times coincided with crypto strength; source: Kaiko Research.

According to @KobeissiLetter, U.S. stock index futures opened sharply higher after a U.S.-China de-escalation over the weekend, with Dow futures up 0.9%, S&P 500 up 1.1%, and Nasdaq 100 up 1.4% (source: @KobeissiLetter). According to @KobeissiLetter, they continue to look for a trade deal before November 1, which they frame as the catalyst behind the risk-on open (source: @KobeissiLetter). No crypto-specific pricing was provided; crypto traders can reference the reported risk-on move in U.S. equity futures as a macro input when monitoring BTC and ETH during the U.S. cash session (source: @KobeissiLetter).

According to The Kobeissi Letter, the Nasdaq 100 fell 3.3% intraday and is on track for its largest one-day decline since April 10, source: The Kobeissi Letter on X, Oct 10, 2025. For trading, monitor BTC and ETH for intraday volatility during US hours given the reported Nasdaq drawdown, source: The Kobeissi Letter on X, Oct 10, 2025.

According to @StockMKTNewz, the US stock market closed mostly green on Oct 8, 2025. IMF research reports that during broad US equity strength, crypto and equities move more in sync, with BTC and ETH correlations to the S&P 500 rising since 2020, increasing crypto beta sensitivity to risk-on closes (IMF Global Financial Stability Report 2022). Based on IMF 2022 evidence of tighter crypto–equity co-movements, traders can monitor BTC and ETH correlation to US equity benchmarks and cross-asset risk appetite as a near-term signal.

According to the source, a Goldman Sachs strategist said it is too early to call a bubble in U.S. tech stocks, arguing the record rally is supported by strong earnings; source: Goldman Sachs. For crypto traders, earnings-led strength in mega-cap tech has historically coincided with improved risk appetite and a positive, time-varying correlation between BTC/ETH and U.S. equities; source: Kaiko Research. Monitor three spillover signals for crypto positioning: mega-cap earnings beats or misses, the Nasdaq 100 trend, and VIX levels as a proxy for risk-on or risk-off; sources: listed company earnings releases, Nasdaq, Cboe Global Markets.

According to @StockMKTNewz, the market is debating whether the NASDAQ 100 and S&P 500 could deliver a third consecutive year of 20%+ gains, a setup that would underscore a sustained risk-on regime if realized (source: @StockMKTNewz on X, Oct 6, 2025). For crypto traders, extended equity momentum has coincided with tighter co-movement between BTC and major stock indices, with the IMF documenting that Bitcoin’s correlation with the S&P 500 rose markedly during 2020–2021 and that cross-asset spillovers increased (source: IMF, Crypto Prices Move More in Sync With Stocks, Jan 2022). This linkage implies that equity shocks can transmit to crypto volatility, making it actionable to monitor 30–90 day rolling BTC–SPX and BTC–QQQ correlations when positioning BTC and ETH exposure (source: IMF, Crypto Prices Move More in Sync With Stocks, Jan 2022). Derivatives gauges such as perpetual funding rates and futures basis help detect overheating during synchronized equity–crypto rallies, with data available from major venues like Deribit for perpetuals and CME for listed BTC futures (source: Deribit product documentation; CME Group Bitcoin futures resources).

According to @KobeissiLetter, the Nasdaq 100 (NDX) has risen for six straight months, marking the sixth such streak since 1986. According to @KobeissiLetter, in the prior five occurrences the index was never lower 12 months later and delivered an average 12‑month gain of about 18%. According to @KobeissiLetter, the same historical pattern implies roughly a 9% gain over the next three months, offering a momentum-favorable bias that traders can use for positioning, stop placement, and hedging decisions.

According to @KobeissiLetter, the S&P 500 has stayed above its 50-day moving average for 106 sessions, marking the longest streak in a year and the fifth-longest in the past 30 years, source: @KobeissiLetter. Five more sessions would make it the third-longest stretch in 30 years, with the all-time record at 149 sessions in 2007, source: @KobeissiLetter. The Nasdaq 100 ETF QQQ has been above its 50-day moving average for 107 sessions, its longest run since 2017, source: @KobeissiLetter. Market momentum has rarely been stronger based on these streaks, underscoring trend strength that traders are monitoring, source: @KobeissiLetter.

According to @StockMKTNewz, Jefferies cut Apple (AAPL) to Underperform from Hold and reduced its price target to $205.16 from $205.82 (source: @StockMKTNewz). As Apple is a top-weighted constituent in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100, a downgrade can pressure index-linked tech exposure and related ETFs in the near term (sources: S&P Dow Jones Indices; Nasdaq). Research finds that equity-crypto correlations strengthen in risk-off phases, so a tech-led drawdown can elevate headline risk for BTC and ETH if broader indices weaken (sources: International Monetary Fund 2022; Bank for International Settlements 2022).

According to @StockMKTNewz, the Nasdaq 100 just logged its best September since 2010. Source: Evan @StockMKTNewz, X, Sep 30, 2025.

According to @StockMKTNewz, Meta (META) paid a quarterly dividend of $0.525 per share, and Mark Zuckerberg, who holds 342.1 million shares, received an estimated $179.6 million (342.1M x $0.525 = $179.6025M), which is material for yield-focused equity strategies. Source: @StockMKTNewz (X, Sep 30, 2025). The $0.525 quarterly rate equates to $2.10 per share on an annualized basis, providing a clear cash-return marker that traders can incorporate into valuation and income screens. Source: @StockMKTNewz (X, Sep 30, 2025). Crypto traders should note that BTC has shown periods of positive correlation with U.S. tech equities, so shifts in mega-cap tech flows around events like dividends can coincide with crypto risk sentiment monitoring.

According to @business, Morgan Stanley upgraded ASML Holding NV to Overweight on Sep 22, 2025, signaling the chip-equipment maker may finally see a major uplift from artificial intelligence demand and giving the recent rally a fresh boost (source: Bloomberg/@business on X, Sep 22, 2025). This AI-led upgrade is a trading cue for risk-on tech exposure and relevant for crypto monitoring, as equity tech momentum has coincided with positive BTC–Nasdaq correlations in 2023–2024 (source: Kaiko Research, 2024).

According to @StockMKTNewz, Bloomberg reported that Apple (AAPL) is planning to release a Mac with a touch screen next year (source: Bloomberg via @StockMKTNewz on X, Sep 21, 2025). The post provides no details on models, pricing, or exact launch timing beyond the phrase next year, limiting specific valuation or positioning conclusions based solely on the headline (source: @StockMKTNewz). The source does not cite any direct cryptocurrency market impact or integrations, offering no new crypto-trading signal from this report (source: @StockMKTNewz).

According to @StockMKTNewz, citing CNBC, Alphabet’s Google (GOOGL) is on pace for a seventh straight weekly gain, the longest such streak since 2021, highlighting strong mega-cap tech momentum into quarter-end (source: CNBC). For trading strategy, multi-week win streaks align with time-series momentum research showing trend persistence, supporting continuation and buy-the-dip setups while the weekly uptrend remains intact (source: Journal of Financial Economics, Moskowitz, Ooi, and Pedersen 2012). Equity–crypto linkages have periodically tightened, with BTC’s rolling correlation to the Nasdaq turning positive at multiple points in 2023–2024, so sustained strength in GOOGL can signal broader risk appetite relevant to BTC and ETH positioning (source: Kaiko Research 2024). Additional data providers have documented episodic equity–crypto co-movements, reinforcing the use of mega-cap tech as a risk proxy for digital assets (source: Coin Metrics, State of the Network 2023).

According to @StockMKTNewz, the U.S. stock market closed lower and the NASDAQ 100 ETF QQQ ended a 9-day winning streak on September 16, 2025, indicating a broad down day for growth stocks (source: @StockMKTNewz on X, Sep 16, 2025). For crypto traders, research has documented periods of stronger positive co-movement between Bitcoin and U.S. equities, so BTC and ETH should be monitored for spillover risk following this equity drawdown (source: International Monetary Fund, Crypto Prices Move More in Sync With Stocks, January 2022). If equity weakness extends, tracking intraday BTC–QQQ correlation during U.S. trading hours can help gauge risk appetite given IMF findings that crypto–equity linkages intensified during stress episodes (source: International Monetary Fund, Crypto Prices Move More in Sync With Stocks, January 2022).
