Hey, here’s the real story for today.
Markets are humming: tech stocks cooled slightly, crypto’s facing fresh uncertainty, and the Fed is quietly reasserting its influence.
No fluff, just actionable insights.

Let’s get into it:

Google and AMD just dropped earnings heat. Google’s ad business bounced back, cloud is growing, and AI tools are printing revenue. AMD? Strong data center sales and a bullish AI roadmap sent shares up 7%. Tech bulls are eating well.

Meanwhile, Meta reports after the bell today, and expectations are sky-high. If they mention AI more than 12 times, the stock might levitate.

Tesla’s Q2 hangover is still hitting hard. After missing earnings and warning about rough quarters ahead, TSLA fell another 4% today. EV names like Rivian and Lucid got caught in the crossfire.

Wall Street’s realizing Tesla might be more human than Musk likes to admit.

Crypto’s rally has stalled out. Bitcoin slipped below $117K as liquidation wiped out $700M in long positions. XRP plunged over 13% after Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen moved $175M worth to exchanges, traders took that as a major red flag.

And now there's regulatory pressure. The Senate’s new crypto bill would hand most token oversight to the SEC, kill the Howey Test, and introduce a “Micro-Innovation Sandbox.” Markets are still figuring out what that even means.

TSLA — $301.30 ↓
GOOG — $184.05 ↑
AMD — $141.82 ↑
BTC — $116,850 ↓
ETH — $5,901 ↓

AI’s winning. Tesla’s slipping. And crypto’s still doing crypto things.
