How to read the sequence
NAKAMOTO analysis: a calendar is a preparation tool. It tells you when evidence may arrive; it does not reveal whether that evidence will support an existing view. Keep the release, the market response, and your interpretation in separate notes.
For each event, save the original link, identify the period covered, and leave the outcome blank until it is published. If a headline appears before the document, mark the claim unconfirmed rather than treating the headline as the result.

What this edition does not claim
No rate decision, inflation result, retail-sales outcome, ETF-flow total, or price target is inferred from the calendar. The September 13 source review remains available as the previous edition.
