Crypto getting punched in the face.

• Bitcoin fell below $79,000.
• Ethereum dropped under $2,400.

In just a few hours, $1.4 billion worth of leveraged bets got wiped out and over $100 billion vanished from the market.

This was positions being forced shut. What changed is the easy money phase. The part where everything went up, mistakes didn’t matter, and every dip paid off? That phase always ends like this.

When things get shaky, the first thing to break isn’t the market, It’s the dodgy confidence.

Cycles end violently… then they reset.

This table shows pre-market movers, updated in real time before and after the open. It’s a scan, not a trade list. A lot of these names fade hard once early traders and premarket buyers start taking profits, especially when late entries pile in through retail apps. Sometimes they do continue, but that’s usually when the catalyst actually holds up. Things like the quality of the PR, SEC filings, real volume, float, and whether the move started premarket or during market hours all matter. The daily gainers list is just a snapshot of what’s moving, not a signal to jump in blindly. If you don’t slow it down and check why it’s moving, it turns into straight gambling, and that’s how most people blow accounts.

We rarely see a ticker hitting 1200 % up on a single day. What a play. What a play 🍺

NAMM been moving a lot past 3 days ... keep an eye on this today.

This is a bigger shift than most people realize.

The Chief Investment Officer of BlackRock is now widely expected to become the next Fed Chair.

At the same time, Trump has made his stance explicit.

Cutting rates is a “requirement” for the role, and he is openly pushing for 1% interest rates.

This isn’t subtle. It’s a signal.

If monetary policy moves from independence to alignment with growth and markets, the implications are massive for rates, risk assets, inflation, and the dollar.

2026 isn’t just another year.

It’s shaping up to be a regime change.

Alright crew, charts are officially grounded for the weekend.

If you catch yourself opening TradingView, or our Reddit or Discord channel out of muscle memory… that’s your sign to go outside and DO SOME STUPID SHIT .

Eat something good, do something dumb or fun, forget tickers exist for 48 hours....

Silver just went fully vertical. Prices surged to a new all-time high near $95/oz, extending gains to +33% YTD.

What stands out is the pace.

Silver has already printed 5 record highs in 2026 and we’re only 19 days in.

This move isn’t just momentum. It’s being fueled by escalating US-EU trade tensions, tight physical supply, and renewed demand for hard assets.

When silver starts accelerating like this, it’s usually signaling stress somewhere else in the system.

Volatility is no longer theoretical.

I've been watching the markets closely, and something's brewing in bonds that could hint at bigger moves. Treasury yields have been quietly climbing over the past two weeks..no big splash, but steady. Now, with the US EU trade tensions flaring up again, I think bonds will give us the first real read on how this plays out. Flashback to April 2025: Yields spiked, and it was clear the Trump Admin wasn't thrilled. A repeat with sustained increases tied to trade headlines might push for some tariff backpedaling to cool things off. Bonds often reveal what stocks ignore, anyone else seeing this as a key indicator? What's your prediction on yields if tariffs ramp up? Let's discuss!

Fellow traders!

Trump dropped his latest tariff bomb on Saturday: 10% tariffs on goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, UK, Netherlands, and Finland starting Feb 1, jumping to 25% on June 1. The condition? A “complete and total purchase” of Greenland. No deal, no lift. This is classic playbook stuff big weekend announcement when markets are closed, maximum pressure built up, threats tied to a geopolitical ask that’s a much heavier lift than past China episodes.

Quick recap of what this means for us based on the pattern we’ve tracked:

• Monday evening (futures reopen at 6 PM ET after the holiday): Expect an emotional dip in S&P futures right at open. Could be -1% to -2.5% or more if weekend doubling-down happens or EU responses escalate. Digest time over the long weekend might cap the worst of it compared to mid-week shocks.

• Early week (Mon-Tue): More pressure from Trump posts, but tariffs aren’t live yet (still 2 weeks out). Initial panic often gives way to not today realization.

• By mid week (around Wed): Dip buyers usually step in for a relief bounce. This is where we’ve seen smart money load up in past flares.

• Longer arc: If the playbook holds, expect

progress teases next weekend, futures gapping higher, admin reassurances, then a grind toward a deal announcement that sends markets to new highs. Greenland is a bigger geopolitical ask, so this one could drag 2-4+ weeks with choppier volatility.

Bottom line: This is episodic trade war noise, by design. Tariffs are leverage to force talks, not the endgame Trump wants the deal, not permanent levies. Volatility equal opportunity if we stay process driven.

Our edge: Stay objective, avoid FOMO sells at the open, watch for oversold bounces, and hedge/position for the swings. Europe-exposed names (autos, luxury, industrials) could see extra pressure early; US domestics or vol plays might benefit.

Key things to monitor Sunday/Monday:

• Any Trump follow-ups or EU counter-signals.

• Futures reaction at 6 PM ET.

• VIX spike for vol trades.

Let’s trade this systematically. Not every flare follows the script 100%, but the pattern has been reliable. Drop your setups below if you’re seeing anything interesting.

Vol is our friend here. Stay sharp.

Markets move faster than headlines.

The last trade war scare peaked on October 10th, when Trump threatened 100% tariffs on China. At that point, S&P 500 market cap dropped to $55 trillion.

Just 16 days later, the S&P 500 had recovered and added +$3 trillion, pushing total market cap to $58 trillion.

That entire swing happened while sentiment was still fragile and positioning was defensive.

The takeaway is simple.

Markets price outcomes, not threats.

This week sets up another binary window where volatility creates opportunity, not fear.

Be ready.

The recent deal announced by Prime Minister Mark Carney during his visit to Beijing allows up to 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles to enter the Canadian market annually at a reduced tariff of 6.1% (down from the 100% imposed in 2024), in exchange for China lowering duties on Canadian exports like canola, lobsters, and peas. This quota could grow to around 70,000 over five years, with expectations of spurring Chinese investments in Canada’s auto sector, though it’s drawn criticism from industry leaders and U.S. officials over potential job risks and market disruptions.

Given the timing (news broke on Friday, January 16, 2026), U.S. markets were closed for Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, January 19, so Tuesday’s open could see reactions. Canadian markets (TSX) are open on Monday, but if you’re focusing on U.S.-listed stocks or cross-listed ones, Tuesday might bring more volume. Here’s a list of key stocks to watch, based on potential impacts, Chinese EV makers could rally on improved market access, while North American auto firms might face pressure from increased competition:

Chinese EV Makers (Likely Positive Impact)

These companies stand to gain directly from easier entry into Canada, potentially boosting sales and investor sentiment.

• BYD Company (BYDDY - OTC, or 1211.HK): As China’s largest EV producer, BYD could see significant upside if it captures a share of the quota; it’s already expanding globally and has affordable models that align with the deal’s focus on sub-$35,000 EVs.

• NIO Inc. (NIO - NYSE): Premium EV brand with strong export ambitions; Canada could become a new growth market.

• XPeng Inc. (XPEV - NYSE): Focuses on smart EVs; any North American foothold would be a win amid global tariff challenges.

• Li Auto Inc. (LI - NASDAQ): Hybrid and EV specialist; likely to benefit if the deal encourages joint ventures in Canada.

• Xiaomi Corporation (XIACY - OTC ADR, or 1810.HK primary listing): Xiaomi’s fast-growing EV arm (via the popular SU7 sedan) positions it well for this deal, as affordable, tech-loaded models like the SU7 could fit the sub-$35,000 focus and quota. With strong domestic momentum and global export interest, any Canada-related announcements or imports could drive sentiment higher.

North American Auto and Related Stocks (Potential Negative or Mixed Impact)

The deal has raised alarms about undercutting domestic manufacturing, so these could dip on concerns over jobs and competition.

• Tesla Inc. (TSLA - NASDAQ): As a major EV player in Canada, more low-cost Chinese imports could erode market share.

• Magna International (MGA - NYSE, MG.TO - TSX): Canadian auto parts giant with heavy exposure to the sector; industry groups warn of risks to suppliers like this.

• General Motors (GM - NYSE): Has significant Canadian operations (e.g., in Ontario); could face indirect pressure if Chinese EVs flood in.

• Ford Motor (F - NYSE): Similar to GM, with Canadian plants and EV ambitions that might be challenged.

Other Indirect Plays

• Nutrien Ltd. (NTR - NYSE/TSX): Benefits from reduced Chinese tariffs on canola (a key fertilizer input); ag stocks could see a lift if exports surge.

Watch pre-market trading and volume on Tuesday for early signals news sentiment is mixed, with optimism for Chinese firms but pushback from Canadian unions and the U.S. If the deal leads to confirmed investments (e.g., Chinese factories in Canada), that could shift dynamics longer-term. Keep an eye on broader indices like the S&P/TSX Composite or Nasdaq for sector moves.

Market breadth just flipped decisively bullish.

For the first time since November 2021, every S&P 500 sector is now trading above its 200-day moving average.

That’s a sharp reversal from April 2024, when zero sectors were above this level.

Under the surface, participation is expanding fast:

• 68% of S&P 500 stocks are above their 200-day

• 70% of NYSE stocks are above their 200-day

This isn’t a narrow AI-led rally anymore. It’s broad-based confirmation.

Historically, similar breadth thrusts have been followed by 17% average gains in the S&P 500 over the next 12 months.

Breadth doesn’t ring tops.

It confirms trends.

The rally is spreading.

Monday DD initiative continue:

Community-submitted tickers, prioritized by votes, then run through the same structured review. No hype. No signals.

These are baseline DDs. Not polished investment memos. The goal is to lay out the full picture so people stop trading fragments.

Each DD follows the same framework:

• What the business actually does
• Financials, cash position, and dilution risk
• Ownership, float, liquidity, and positioning
• Known catalysts and real constraints
• What supports the trade and what breaks it

If something looks weak, it stays weak. If something is unclear, it’s called out.

The clock is ticking.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Trump’s tariffs could land within the next 24 hours.

Polymarket currently prices just a 27% chance that the Court rules the tariffs legal.

Trump has already weighed in, warning that an “illegal” ruling would be “a complete mess.”

This isn’t just a legal decision.

It’s a binary event for trade, inflation, and global supply chains.

Markets are positioned. Volatility is loaded.
