📰 Financial News
- Equities, rates and dollar: October CPI rose 0.4% month over month and core rose 0.3% (Nov 10 BLS). The S&P 500 latest Nov 10 close is 7,520.93, while the 10-year yield last printed 4.983%. DXY is a delayed Nov 11 print at 102.53. Recheck rate and dollar reactions after cash opens. Source.
- Bitcoin and Ethereum: Strategy disclosed buying 1,036 BTC in its Nov 9 filing. That treasury flow is dated, not proof of today’s BTC direction. Grayscale reported an Ether staking-distribution mechanism in its Nov 6 filing; no fresh ETH protocol announcement was verified. Watch spot demand and funding. Source.
- Gold and silver: Gold-ETF inflows were $2.7 billion in October, per the World Gold Council’s Nov 5 update. Today’s delayed gold and silver futures prints are separate observations. No fresh silver-specific release was verified; CPI, real yields and the dollar are the current cross-asset checks. Source.
- WTI crude: EIA’s Nov 10 energy outlook cites shipping disruptions as a source of short-term price swings and reports the lowest October U.S. crude inventories since 2014. The delayed WTI futures quote is not EIA’s Brent forecast. The weekly inventory release is scheduled Nov 12 at noon ET. Source.
- SpaceX (SPCX): No fresh verified company or regulatory development was found for the public NASDAQ:SPCX equity. Its Nov 11 premarket quote is not a regular-session move. Confirm any launch schedule on the issuer’s live page before trading a headline. Source.
- STRC: Strategy’s Nov 9 filing reports 1,887,464 STRC shares repurchased for $188.3 million during Nov 2–8. The issuer’s current variable annual rate is 12.00% on $100 par; today’s indicated yield uses the Nov 11 premarket price and can change as rate or price changes. Source.
- XOM and KO: Exxon’s Oct 30 results declared $1.07 per share quarterly, with a Nov 16 record date. Coca-Cola’s Oct 15 declaration is $0.53 per share quarterly, with a Dec 1 record date. No fresh Nov 10–11 issuer release was verified for either; oil and rate sensitivity remain the watchpoints. Source.
- AI leadership: NVIDIA’s independent directors said Nov 10 they retained outside counsel for an investigation. That confirms a process, not the allegations. Fiscal-Q3 results are scheduled Nov 17; price and breadth must confirm any market inference. Source.
📐 Gann Seasonal Dates
November 7–8 mid-season checkpoint is closed and outside today’s ±2-day scan. Next future checkpoint: December 21–22 cardinal window; the computed solstice is Dec 21 at 13:50 MST. Neither date predicts a market turn. Inspect price levels only with confirmation.

Set price levels and invalidation before the window. Price action has the final vote.
🌙 Moon Phase
At Nov 11 05:00 MST, the waxing crescent Moon is in Sagittarius (13.8°), 4.77% illuminated. Phase and tropical sign use the same computed position. The next Full Moon is Nov 24 at 07:53 MST, not an eclipse.
Pop-astro: A waxing crescent Moon in Sagittarius is a prompt to revisit intentions, not an astronomical prediction.
Market: Use lunar and planetary dates only as inspection windows. Define levels and invalidation before taking risk; price action has the final vote.
