SEI (SEI) at Critical Support: Descending Broadening Wedge and Inverse Head and Shoulders Signal Potential Trend Shift
According to @CryptoCoinCoach, SEI remains in a bearish structure within a descending broadening wedge after losing its prior bullish range. According to @CryptoCoinCoach, compression at a key horizontal support while price stays below the descending trendline keeps this area high risk rather than a confirmed reversal. According to @CryptoCoinCoach, an inverse head and shoulders is attempting to form, and a reclaim of the descending trendline with a sustained hold above the neckline could enable a recovery toward the mid range and higher resistance. According to @CryptoCoinCoach, failure to hold current support risks another leg down toward the wedge’s lower boundary before any meaningful stabilization.

S&P 500 (SPX) Returns Breakdown 1917 to 1999: Terry Smith Shows Only 2.3% Came From P/E Expansion, Earnings Drove the Rest
According to @QCompounding citing Terry Smith, buying the S&P 500 at a price to earnings of 5.3 and selling at 34 would have delivered about 11.6% annualized, with only roughly 2.3 percentage points from multiple expansion (source: @QCompounding). This decomposition indicates most long-term equity returns came from earnings growth and reinvestment rather than rerating (source: @QCompounding). For portfolio positioning, prioritize companies with durable earnings compounding, strong reinvestment, and high return on capital, and be cautious about relying on valuation multiple expansion for alpha (source: @QCompounding). For index exposure, expected returns will hinge more on forward earnings trajectories and capital allocation than on further rerating (source: @QCompounding). Near term, focus on earnings revisions, buybacks, and dividend growth as key total-return drivers rather than multiple swings (source: @QCompounding).

Ethereum Security Alert: 4,556 ETH Lost to Address Poisoning Mimicking Galaxy Digital Deposit - What Traders Need to Know
According to @lookonchain, wallet 0xd674 mistakenly sent 4,556 ETH to an attacker after copying a poison address that matched the first and last four characters of Galaxy Digital’s deposit address. According to @lookonchain, the attacker repeatedly sent dust transactions from the spoofed address, causing the victim to copy it from transaction history and misroute the transfer. According to the Etherscan address for 0xd674 shared by @lookonchain, the wallet had frequently transferred funds to Galaxy Digital via 0x6D90CC...dD2E48 before the incident. According to @lookonchain, this highlights active address poisoning risks on Ethereum; traders moving ETH to custodians should verify full deposit addresses and avoid copying from history to prevent irreversible loss and misclassified on chain flows.
