US30-Bearish Momentum in Play as DowJones Drops Below Pivot ZoneUS30 Analysis – February 25, 2025 🔻 Bearish Momentum in Play as Dow Jones Drops Below Pivot Zone US30 has continued its downward movement, as previously anticipated . The price remains below the pivot line (43,765) and has already tested the support at 43,350. However, to confirm further downside toward 42,770, the price must break below 43,212 with a 4H candle close. 🔹 Technical Outlook: 📉 Bearish Scenario: As long as US30 remains below 43,760, the downward pressure is expected to continue. A 4H candle close below 43,212 will confirm a bearish continuation toward 42,770. 📈 Bullish Reversal: Stability above 43,212 will lead to a range-bound movement between 43,212 and 43,765 until a breakout occurs. A 4H candle close above the pivot zone (43,765) is required for the bullish trend to resume. Key Levels to Watch: Resistance: 43,690 | 43,900 | 44,210 Pivot: 43,580 Support: 43,212 | 43,030 | 42,770 ⚠️ Directional Bias: Currently, US30 is consolidating within the 43,212 – 43,765 range. A break below 43,212 will confirm the bearish trend continuation.

US30 Bearish Momentum | Key Support Levels in FocusUS30 Analysis | February 21, 2025 The price has broken below the pivot line of 44,404, confirming a bearish momentum. Now, it is testing the support zone at 44,051, and a continued failure to reclaim the pivot will strengthen the bearish case toward 43,763 and 43,212 support zones. For bullish confirmation, the price needs to stabilize above 44,404 and break the resistance zone of 44,500 to initiate a potential recovery toward 44,756 and 45,099. Key Levels: Pivot Line: 44075 Resistance Levels: 44190 – 44404 – 44650 Support Levels: 43763 – 43520 - 43212 📉 Directional Bias: As long as the price remains below 44,404, US30 remains bearish, with a high probability of testing lower support levels.

Coinbase (COIN) Shares Drop to Three-Month LowCoinbase (COIN) Shares Drop to Three-Month Low The Coinbase (COIN) chart shows that, for the first time in 2025, the share price has fallen below the psychological $250 level. Bearish factors impacting COIN: One key factor driving negative sentiment is the confirmed hack of the ByBit cryptocurrency exchange, raising concerns about deposit security in the industry. According to media reports: → The attack may have been carried out by North Korean hacker group Lazarus. → Hackers allegedly drained Ethereum tokens worth between $1 billion and $5 billion from ByBit’s wallet. → This is the largest crypto hack in history. Another factor is growing concerns about the US economy, which have negatively impacted stock markets. As reported by Reuters: → The S&P 500 index (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) fell by 1.66% on Friday, marking its worst performance of the year. → The decline followed a drop in Walmart’s share price and weak consumer sentiment data. → Friday’s Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) figures were below previous levels. Investors are now focusing on this week’s release of the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge. Technical Analysis of Coinbase (COIN) Chart COIN price movements form an upward channel (marked in blue), but several bearish signals are emerging: → The price has dropped into the lower half of the channel. → The psychological resistance level has shifted from $300 to potentially $250. If bearish sentiment persists, COIN’s share price could fall further towards a support zone consisting of: → A bullish gap (marked in purple). → The lower boundary of the blue channel. → The psychological $200 level. Coinbase (COIN) Price Forecast Wall Street analysts remain cautiously optimistic following Coinbase’s quarterly earnings report on 13 February, which exceeded expectations. According to TipRanks: → 10 out of 21 analysts recommend buying COIN. → The average 12-month price target for COIN is $350. Trade on TradingView with FXOpen.

US30–Bearish Continues Below Pivot Amid Geopolitical UncertaintyUS30 Analysis & Market Impact – February 24, 2025 Bearish Momentum in Play as Dow Jones Drops Below Pivot Zone US30 has continued its downward movement as we mentioned in the previous idea , breaking below the pivot zone (43765- 43900) and confirming bearish momentum. The price is now trading near the 43760 level, with the next support zone at 43212. Technical Outlook: Bearish Scenario: As long as the price remains below 43760, the downward pressure is likely to continue toward 43212 and 42770 as the next key support levels. Bullish Reversal: A recovery above 43900 would indicate a potential upside toward 44210 and 44400. Market News Impact: Germany's election results indicate that the Christian Democrat Union is set to take over, with Friedrich Merz as the likely chancellor. This shift in leadership could influence EU-U.S. relations, especially in response to tariff threats from President Trump. U.S. stock futures are showing early signs of recovery, but market volatility is expected as investors react to potential economic policy changes in Germany. Key Levels to Watch: Resistance: 44210| 44405| 44755 Pivot: 43765 Support: 43400| 43212| 42770 ⚠️ Directional Bias: As long as US30 remains below 43765, the bearish trend remains in control. However, geopolitical factors could increase market volatility, so stay alert. 📉🔥

What makes a good director?This analysis is provided by Eden Bradfeld at BlackBull Research—sign up for their Substack to receive the latest market insights straight to your inbox. I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about good governance and good boards. There is a lot that can be said about bad boards, but a lot less is said about what makes a good director. So what makes a good director? I'll start with a quote from Grandpa Buffett’s recent letter (published yesterday): During the 2019-23 period, I have used the words “mistake” or “error” 16 times in my letters to you. Many other huge companies have never used either word over that span. Amazon, I should acknowledge, made some brutally candid observations in its 2021 letter. Elsewhere, it has generally been happy talk and pictures. I have also been a director of large public companies at which “mistake” or “wrong” were forbidden words at board meetings or analyst calls. That taboo, implying managerial perfection, always made me nervous (though, at times, there could be legal issues that make limited discussion advisable. We live in a very litigious society.) Also worth his thoughts on CEOs and schooling (I have never really understood the point of an MBA: One further point in our CEO selections: I never look at where a candidate has gone to school. Never! Of course, there are great managers who attended the most famous schools. But there are plenty such as Pete who may have benefitted by attending a less prestigious institution or even by not bothering to finish school. Look at my friend, Bill Gates, who decided that it was far more important to get underway in an exploding industry that would change the world than it was to stick around for a parchment that he could hang on the wall. (Read his new book, Source Code.) Not long ago, I met – by phone – Jessica Toonkel, whose step-grandfather, Ben Rosner, long ago ran a business for Charlie and me. Ben was a retailing genius and, in preparing for this report, I checked with Jessica to confirm Ben’s schooling, which I remembered as limited. Jessica’s reply: “Ben never went past 6th grade.” Anyway — some thoughts on what makes a good director, from observation: Accountants and lawyers rarely make a good director. There are exceptions¹, but often I think a “professional” is conflated with a “good businessperson”. Think of the “professionals” who have sat on the board of Fletcher Building and added dubious value. Founders, and owner-operators (or former owner-operators) often make a good director because they innately understand what makes a business tick. To quote the Druck’s former boss — “it’s all cash in, cash out, son” Trust is crucial. To paraphrase St. Charlie Munger — “a web of trust is important…and be careful whom you trust” The tick boxes that many boards do these days are rarely useful. There is an inordinate amount of focus on tick boxes, and not enough on the actual business activities. Directors who see their duty to the shareholders and company tend to be best. This seems obvious, but is not always put into practice. Industry experience, funnily enough, is also important. You need to understand what you sell, who your customer is, and how you make a buck. A strong CEO is also important — think about Buffett, Gates, or Jobs. A board should provide guidance, but the CEO should be the guiding light. If you have the fortune of having a great CEO, you ought to let them do their thing and not micro-manage them. Micro-management has never worked out, and is the domain of mediocre mid-level executives who eat depressing food. Equally, a strong board is important — while you want your CEO to be an all-star, you don’t want those little dogs that live in handbags as board members — that defeats the point. Sadly, not many CEOs are too amenable to pit bulls. High compensation is not important. Ideally your board members should be independently wealthy. If a large part of their income is derived from their board comp, you will find they magically seem to have roles on five different boards — all in different industries. To wit, from Buffett (quoting him a lot today, I know!): “Over the years, board “independence” has become a new area of emphasis. One key point relating to this topic, though, is almost invariably overlooked: Director compensation has now soared to a level that inevitably makes pay a subconscious factor affecting the behaviour of many non-wealthy members. Think, for a moment, of the director earning $250,000–300,000 for board meetings consuming a pleasant couple of days six or so times a year. Frequently, the possession of one such directorship bestows on its holder three to four times the annual median income of U.S. households.” To that effect, just because a board member is on another board is not an endorsement. Buying stock in a company with your own money, if you are a director, is a good thing. Being “truly independent” and having no stock is a warning sign — the director’s interests are aligned with his or her director’s fees, rather than the trajectory of the company. ¹ If you are one of my lawyer or accountant friends — you know who you are — you are the exception.

Market Alert: Potential Downside Ahead! The S&P 500 (SPX) just closed with a strong bearish candle, dropping -104 points (-1.71%), signaling a possible shift in momentum. The index is now testing a key support level near 6,000, and if this level breaks, we could see a sharper pullback. 📉 What’s Happening in the Market? 1️⃣ Rising Interest Rate Concerns – The Federal Reserve remains cautious about inflation, and recent economic data suggests they may keep rates higher for longer. This puts pressure on equities, especially high-growth stocks. 2️⃣ Earnings Season Uncertainty – Many companies are reporting mixed earnings, with some missing expectations. Weak guidance from major corporations could fuel more downside. 3️⃣ Geopolitical Tensions & Market Volatility – Ongoing global uncertainties, such as geopolitical conflicts and supply chain disruptions, are adding risk-off sentiment to the market. 4️⃣ Technical Breakdown Risks – The SPX is currently sitting near critical support at 6,000. If this level fails, we could see further selling pressure toward 5,920 - 5,880 and possibly as low as 5,773. 🔥 What to Watch Next? ✅ Can the market hold 6,000 and bounce? Or will sellers push prices lower? ✅ Watch for reactions around 6,068 - 6,100—if the index struggles here, more downside is likely. ✅ Increased volatility means risk management is key—stay cautious, and don’t chase trades! ⚠️ Bottom Line: The market is at a turning point. If downside momentum continues, we could see a bigger correction. Stay alert and manage risk accordingly!
