Challenger job cuts jumped from 35,000 to 108,000 between reports, a number worth watching according to Kevin Hincks. He points to an uptick in jobless claims adding fog to the employment path ahead. Bitcoin's dip below $70,000 is another warning flag for investors, as Kevin highlights the bearish and bullish narratives for crypto. Alphabet's (GOOGL) selling action after an initial earnings rally is another signal investors take issues with Big Tech's big CapEx spending.
