Q2-2026 earnings momentum is strong: Forbes estimates S&P 500 earnings growth of +23.3% YoY for Q2 2026; JNJ and TSMC have already beaten. For July 17, Philadelphia Fed and jobless claims provide the macro timing. Kalshi sees 95% probability for an unchanged Fed rate on July 29 (no rate shock).

Bitcoin at $78,136 (September 9, 2026). Kalshi markets assign ~83% probability of BTC touching $100,000 at any point in 2026. Polymarket gives BTC 68% odds to close above $90,000 by year-end. A year-end close above $100,000 (not just a touch) is more demanding: median year-end contract estimates imply ~$81,000. Arguments for >$100k close: historical Q4 seasonality (+49% in Q4 2024, +56% in Q4 2023), ETF inflows, institutional demand. Headwinds: active Fed hiking cycle (~3.75% current funds rate), 10yr yield at 4.86%.
