September 21, 2025       Fed fires the first shot in rate-cut cycle The third week of September started calm, but the spotlight was always on Wednesday’s Fed interest rate decision. When Powell delivered the (mostly expected) quarter-point cut, stocks whipped, bonds rallied, and gold spiked back above $3,700. Quadruple witching on Friday only added fuel — historically a weak day, but this time metals stole the show, with silver clearing $43 and gold pressing higher. By the close, all three majors indexes were green for the week: QQQ notched fresh all-time highs above 600, SPY pushed near its own records, and even the Dow edged higher. Powell suggested markets could see two more rate cuts this year, but traders are still debating whether to believe it or not. Still, one thing’s clear: the melt-up narrative isn’t going away quietly. Our team stayed focused on process, not noise: fading index spikes for defined-risk wins, selling premium into fat volatility, and zeroing in on where insiders, institutions, and power-grid bottlenecks are moving the next big story. Here’s everything you may have missed this week — and what our pros are tracking into October’s earnings season. To your prosperity, — The ProsperityPub Team HOT TIPS Key Market Insights   • Quadruple witching hit, the Fed’s cut is still being digested, and both gold and silver are surging. In his Weekly Wrap-Up, Geof Smith lays out what he’s watching into next week.   • On Monday, JD compared the ongoing “Great American melt-up” to the late 1990s and showed how he faded a SPY spike with a 661/660 put spread for a 70% gain!   • Lower mortgage rates = stronger stocks? The team broke down why falling rates could stimulate housing and kick the market higher — if the charts confirm it.   • Bears called for a crash… but Home Depot might break out instead! Rate cuts are here, sentiment flipped to Greed, and Home Depot is closing in on a key level.   • Housing emergency? Chris Pulver floated it. Alex Reid says affordability decides. Here’s what he’s watching before he acts.   • Tuesday, JD dissected a “spectacularly good” retail sales report that the market twisted into bad news, then used his arbitrage framework to pull a 10% gain with a SPY trade.   • California’s oil problem is colliding with reality. Geof Smith explains the fallout.   • On Fed day, Alex Reid kept it simple: mark the range, wait for the close. No hero trades on the first spike — only clean setups if price and flow align into the finish.   • On Fed Day (Wednesday), JD reopened the mean reversion cash machine with trades on Cracker Barrel and Darden Restaurants.    • The Fed cut rates a quarter point on Wednesday, and markets whipped. Stocks slid, gold spiked, bonds rallied — and Powell’s press conference loomed. Geof Smith tracked it live.   • AI’s power squeeze — With the U.S. and U.K. leaning into nuclear, Alex Reid and Jack Carter flagged the key tickers to play the power bottleneck.   • The secret to juicier premiums? Jack Carter doesn’t start with price — he starts with one key number most traders ignore. This overlooked number could be the key to pulling fatter checks each week. HOT TRADES LATEST WINNERS   • Have you seen Geof Smith’s hot streak?! • In his 1K Academy program, he and his followers closed QQQ calls for a 14.90% same-day gain! • Meanwhile, his Gold Stream Alerts snagged ANOTHER 16.77% gain — keeping the service’s flawless (no losses) record intact! • And his GLD calls in Perfect Gold Trade locked in a42.98% gainer in just 2 trading days!   • Graham Lindman & Nate Tucci’s daily Opening Playbookshow has given away a SLEW of big movers this week! • Examples on the board include CLSK, TSLA,AGQ, OKLO, GLD, and LLY — with the smallest gainer being 100% on GLD! Snag your $1 Opening Playbook membership here!   • Chris Pulverwas on fire as usual! • Daily Profit Play:7 wins on 7 trades — just this week! • Project Options Edge: 2 winners (XLV, PGR) • Waterfall Income: 1 winner • Pinch Point Alerts: 1 winner • Double Up Alerts: net winner on SPX.   • Nate Tucci was on a roll, too! • Overnight Options: A perfect week 3 wins across 3 trades with gains of 20.59%, 19.44%, and 22.06%. • And don’t forget the 86.5% win rate! (443–69) • And Two Way Trades: Closed XSP +41.67% (8 days) and SOFI +26.92% (3 days), keeping that 83% win rate (39–8) solid! THINGS LEFT UNREAD In Case You Missed It   • The U.S. economy is split in two. One lane is AI-fueled and rich with cash. The other? Housing and labor are slowing fast. Here's how the team is tracking which side takes control.   • Jack Carter showed how he pulled cash flow out of Bitcoin’s ETF IBIT — without owning a single share — by selling options for steady income.   • On Thursday, JD explained how he used his daily arbitrage model to fade a Russell 2000 melt-up with a put debit spread — and walked away with a 50% gain.   • Gold at round numbers —Alex Reid recap’s Geof Smith’s theory about “round” levels like $3,700.   • Jack Carter pulled 8% in just 3 days on Broadcom — not by swinging for home runs, but by rolling short-term option trades week after week.   • Tuesday, as Fed Day loomed ahead, gold stayed steady at new highs. Stocks pulled back on strong retail sales, while crude rallied on hopes demand will stay firm. Geof Smith covered it all here. Wall Street’s Legal Loophole When four insiders secretly drop $4.7M of their own cash on one stock, it’s not random. It’s conviction. Today at 7pm Eastern, former Chicago Board of Trade insider Silas Peters is revealing the ticker… FREE. Reserve Your Seat!
