BTC is 47% Off Its Peak. One Shift Could Change That.
Dear Investor,
A few years ago, Trump slammed crypto in public.
Then the real move started in private.
I’ve watched this exact playbook for 50 years on Wall Street.
First they mock it…
Then they build the pipes that move the money.
And when the pipes turn on, early buyers get the windfall.
Right now, the crowd stares at red candles and feels stuck.
Meanwhile, the crypto market still sits near $2.40 trillion in value, with $105.7 billion trading in a single day…
And one political "power center" just made the next step clear.
See the Trump Power Plays briefing right here ->
Here is the part most people miss:
Big money buys when the headlines look dismal.
Bitcoin still trades 47% below its peak…
Discounts like this create the same kind of setup I saw before past breakouts.
And the "power trade" shows up in the coins people search for when they smell a new cycle.
In my new briefing, I breakdown the Trump-linked pattern and the simple way to trade it.
-
47% "reset" window. The same kind of discount that launched prior wealth waves.
-
Over $100B in daily volume. Real liquidity that fuels fast moves when the switch flips.
-
Search-rank spike proof. Why coins like HYPE (#16) and TAO (#35) flag where the next wave forms.
Put simply, this window does not stay open long.
The moment the next policy headline hits, prices re-rate in hours, not weeks.
Get the exact Trump Power Plays setup here.
To your massive success,

Cintas Corporation: The Deep Value Opportunity in Plain Sight
Written by Thomas Hughes. Posted: 3/28/2026.
Key Points
- Cintas' March price pullback set a new long-term low, creating a deep value opportunity for buy-and-hold investors.
- Growth and capital returns underpin the price action, which is likely to resume upward momentum before year-end.
- Institutions and analysts help support this market, limiting the downside in 2026.
- Special Report: Elon Musk's $1 Quadrillion AI IPO
Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ: CTAS) is a deep-value opportunity few are discussing, perhaps because its business appears mundane. The company provides uniforms, laundry services, first-aid supplies and other essential services to businesses across industries. Importantly, these must-have services generate revenue, are growing, and are returning value to shareholders.
Growth has been largely "self-funded," enabled by strong execution and a fortress balance sheet. That balance-sheet strength supports dividends and share buybacks alongside organic and acquisition-driven growth. The result is visible in the share price: aside from a post-stock-split correction, CTAS shows a long-term uptrend that is likely to continue.
Cintas Trades at Value Levels; Provides Opportunity for Buy and Hold Investors
Invest in SpaceX Before IPO (Ad)
SpaceX is already one of the most valuable private companies on Earth, and some analysts believe its valuation could reach over $1.5 trillion. But since SpaceX isn't publicly traded, most investors assume they have no way to invest—that assumption may be wrong.
According to veteran investor Matt McCall, there's a little-known public investment vehicle that provides exposure to SpaceX and dozens of other private companies, and today shares trade for less than $30.
Click here to see the full storyCintas' stock price traded at historically low levels relative to its earnings in late March amid a major acquisition. The once-stalled Unifirst (NYSE: UNF) takeover is now moving forward following unanimous board approval.
The cash-and-stock deal assigns a premium to Unifirst that may be unlocked relatively quickly. The merger creates opportunities for consolidation, cost savings and operational efficiencies while expanding Cintas' client base, product range and cross-selling potential. At face value, Unifirst's business represents roughly 20% of Cintas' revenue, implying that more than 20% of earnings growth could be realized through rationalization and synergies.
Cintas is not a bargain-basement stock, but it commands a premium for good reason. Its P/E typically runs in the high 30s, supported by strong cash-flow quality and capital returns. The stock trades near 36X the 2026 consensus, but only about 14X versus the longer-term 2035 consensus, suggesting meaningful upside over time.
Cintas' capital returns include dividends, dividend growth, and share buybacks. The dividend yield usually sits around 1%, with annual increases often offset by share-price appreciation. The company is a Dividend Aristocrat with more than 40 consecutive years of dividend increases and appears positioned to continue raising payouts. Dividend growth has been supported by double-digit earnings growth and share-reducing buybacks, which help offset the impact of higher distributions.
Cintas' share buybacks increased by approximately $250,000, or 36%, on a year-to-date basis as of the end of its third quarter. The pace of share-count reduction is modest—about 0.18%—but sufficient to offset share-based compensation and the effect of dividend increases. For investors, that results in a stable to slightly declining share count, which helps reduce volatility and downside risk. Cintas is a lower-beta stock that can dampen portfolio volatility.
Institutions Limit Downside in 2026
Institutional ownership and persistently low short interest also help keep volatility muted. Short interest typically runs around 2%, a healthy level for a blue-chip stock that supports day-to-day liquidity. Days to cover are relatively low at about four days, suggesting a quick exit for short sellers if price action heats up. Institutions—the largest holder group—own roughly 65% of the stock and have been accumulating it over the trailing 12 months. Net buying occurred in three of the last four quarters, with a pickup in Q1 2026 as price action dipped.
The technical price action is weak in early 2026 but aligns with support at an important level that also held in 2024. That support marks the breakout point of a prior bull-market consolidation and is likely a strong technical floor. If the market continues to support CTAS around its 150-week EMA, a rebound is probable. Over the last 15 years, CTAS has retreated to this level only five times, each instance followed by significant rallies—the last two producing quadruple- and high-triple-digit gains, respectively.
The primary risks this year include the potential for an economic downturn, labor-force contraction, and regulatory scrutiny of the Unifirst deal. Cintas and Unifirst already operate in some overlapping markets, and the acquisition will make the nation's largest uniform services provider even larger. The risk of labor contraction is real; however, claims data suggest employment conditions are stable to improving relative to the prior year.
Five Below's Earnings Blowout Has Wall Street Scrambling to Raise Targets
Written by Chris Markoch. Posted: 3/20/2026.
Key Points
- Five Below's stock jumped about 10% after the company delivered a strong Q4 earnings beat.
- Institutional investors added roughly $12 billion, signaling strong confidence in the story.
- Analysts raised price targets as Five Below’s Gen Z focus continues to fuel growth.
- Special Report: Elon Musk's $1 Quadrillion AI IPO
Five Below (NASDAQ: FIVE) stock surged more than 10% after delivering a strong Q4 2025 earnings report, despite broader market weakness. The move followed a roughly 7% rise in after-hours and pre-market trading, with buyers continuing to drive the stock higher during the session.
The quarter extended a value-and-growth narrative that has been building for several quarters. The company has largely overcome the impact of tariffs on its supply chain and produced impressive top- and bottom-line results.
Keeping Its Eyes on the Target
Invest in SpaceX Before IPO (Ad)
SpaceX is already one of the most valuable private companies on Earth, and some analysts believe its valuation could reach over $1.5 trillion. But since SpaceX isn't publicly traded, most investors assume they have no way to invest—that assumption may be wrong.
According to veteran investor Matt McCall, there's a little-known public investment vehicle that provides exposure to SpaceX and dozens of other private companies, and today shares trade for less than $30.
Click here to see the full storyFIVE stock has risen more than 200% over the past 12 months. In a challenging retail sector, discount retailers have been better positioned to reach the increasingly "choiceful" consumer. Results from Dollar General (NYSE: DG) and Ollie's Bargain Outlet (NASDAQ: OLLI) suggest investors are looking through near-term headwinds.
That dynamic plays to Five Below's strengths. The company has worked to attract Gen Alpha and Gen Z shoppers while also targeting millennial moms. That strategy appears to be paying off: management cited strong results across income levels and expects the momentum to continue into 2026.
Tariffs Are a Known Cost
Five Below was among the companies most impacted by tariffs in 2025, and that exposure will persist into 2026. The company's guidance assumes tariff rates in place on Feb. 1, 2026, remain unchanged — a prudent, conservative stance.
Management, however, believes the practical impact of those tariffs will be less severe this year.
On the company's conference call, CEO Winnie Park said, "...last year we had the tariffs hit us, and so we weren't able to actually buy or attain all the products that we wanted to fill out some of our worlds. This year, that is not an obstacle."
Institutions Led the Way
FIVE is up about 25% in 2026 so far, and institutional buying has been a key driver. In the last quarter, institutions bought roughly $12 billion of stock compared with about $484 million in selling.
That level of institutional accumulation was a clear signal that professional investors expected a strong result — and Five Below delivered.
The report is likely to attract further institutional interest, especially given recent analyst activity.
MarketBeat's Five Below analyst page shows five analysts have upgraded or raised their price targets for FIVE. The highest target is $285 from UBS Group, roughly 22% above the current consensus target — and about 10% above the price the stock reached after the report.
FIVE Stock Is Heading Higher, But Patience May Be Rewarded
After a sharp move upward, the outlook for FIVE is bullish but may require patience. Parabolic spikes often fade or reverse as momentum traders take profits, which could occur by the end of the trading session or over the next few days.
If the stock pulls back, valuation could be a factor. FIVE trades at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio above 42x — more than twice the S&P 500 average and well above both the company's historical average and the retail sector average. That said, near-term technicals remain more bullish than cautionary.
The options market isn't signaling a major alarm. While the April 17 options chain shows elevated put activity, much of it appears to be hedging by existing long holders rather than directional bearish bets. With no meaningful catalyst before the next earnings report in June, many of those puts may expire worthless.
Investors who missed the rally might look for a consolidation or a healthy pullback into the $220–$225 range. That area corresponds to where the stock traded in late February and early March and represents past resistance that could now act as support.
With management guiding for 14%–16% comp growth in Q1 2026 and the next earnings report not due until June, patient investors can reasonably wait for a better entry without worrying about an imminent catalyst.
