US 10-year yields breaking 5.34% to a 24-year high set up the video’s core warning: high rates threaten expensive equity valuations, and Friday’s September jobs report is the next catalyst for either more bond-market pressure or a relief move. The market reaction to better-than-expected weekly jobless claims was still a selloff before a partial rebound, keeping SPY pinned to a 764 support/trapdoor level while RSI and channel work point to a possible flush if the report comes in hot. MU is the other focus: the stock has already delivered an enormous 2025-2026 run, but the next move now hinges on whether it can hold above 11:08 and 902, or whether a failed breakout turns it into a sell-the-rip setup with much deeper downside. The broader stance is mixed-to-bearish: the video still respects powerful momentum names, but says easy money is behind us and the market is one strong jobs number away from a sharper risk-off break.

  • US 10-year yields broke 5.34%, a 24-year high, tightening borrowing costs and making rich equity valuations harder to defend.
  • Friday’s September jobs report is the key macro trigger: hot hiring and wages could push yields higher and force more Fed hikes this year; cool data could keep rates status quo and extend the rally.
  • Weekly initial jobless claims came in better than expected, implying layoffs stayed low, but the market still sold off before grinding up off the lows.
  • SPY lost 764, then bounced; the level is framed as the key support/flush trigger going into Friday, with a break opening a “trapdoor” to the bottom of an ascending channel.
  • RSI setup on SPY is compared with prior major flushes: a move back under the 60% RSI area and opening/closing below it would open the door to a drop toward 40% on the weekly RSI timeframe.
  • Michael Burry closed all of his shorts and rotated into puts at higher risk, a move framed as extreme bearishness because the premium can be lost if the decline arrives later than expected.
  • MU is said to have risen 239% in 2025 and another 285% in 2026, then fallen 40% from the highs before rebounding 50% off the floor.
  • MU posted quarterly revenue of 54.23 billion, up 379% year over year as stated here, and adjusted earnings of 3342 per share versus 303 a year earlier; next-quarter revenue guidance was 61.5 billion at the midpoint, implying another 13% sequential increase.
  • The best MU trade this year is described as buying below 745, averaging around 729, enduring a drop to 710 in the aftermarket, then riding a three-week rip to 1,000 and taking most profits near 900.
  • MU’s bullish continuation now depends on two daily closes above 11:08; the segment calls 11:08 the most important resistance because it marks a prior candle cluster high.
  • If MU fails to hold above 11:08 and loses the neckline around 10:30, it is said to retest 902; losing 902 would make the trade fall apart and could trigger a much larger move back toward 400.
  • An inverse head-and-shoulders is said to have confirmed, with a measured move to 1,290 if the neckline breakout holds.
  • Monthly RSI on MU is used as a warning: after past moves above 70%, a break below the yellow moving average and then below 60% led to a big pullback; now MU is back under that yellow line and losing 70% is framed as opening downside toward 60%, 50%, and 40%.
  • The bottom line on MU is that demand may still absorb new capacity, but easy money is behind us, momentum looks spent, and bulls vs. bears is now a consolidation fight likely to be resolved in 2026.
  • The creator says there is no current MU position except through indexes and would only want back in on a huge discount.
