  • Good to Bad

    Alright, let’s get into it. The trading week of February 16, 2026 felt like the market trying to flex resilience while low key sweating every headline that crossed the tape. After the Presidents’ Day break, Tuesday opened thinner because parts of Asia were still closed for Lunar New Year, but that calm vibe disappeared fast…

  • Tech Questions its Own Future

    Alright so this week was basically the market trying to act fearless while lowkey spiraling. After the government shutdown delayed a bunch of data, everything hit at once and investors had to process it in real time, which is never calm. The Dow went full main character mode and surged 2.5 percent to close above…

  • Record Highs, Broken Trades, and a Very Strong Dollar

    Alright, let’s get into it, because the first week of February 2026 was wild in a very specific, uncomfortable way. The whole thing started with what people are already calling the Warsh Shock, after Kevin Warsh got nominated as the next Fed Chair, and immediately the dollar took off and the debasement trade got smoked,…

  • A Reality Check Week for Markets

    Last week was a reminder that the market is still walking on a very thin line. The week of January 26, 2026 was marked by sharp volatility and a clear shift toward safety, as investors moved aggressively into safe-haven assets amid rising uncertainty.

    Alright, let’s get into it. The market last week was acting like it had a plan but everyone knew it didn’t. Tuesday after MLK Day kicked things off with a bang when the President proposed a 10 percent tariffs on eight European countries, including France, Germany, and the UK, over the Greenland deal, and investors…

  • Markets Hit New Highs… Then Got Nervous

    Alright, let’s get into it. The market spent this week trying to act confident while clearly second-guessing itself. Indexes hit big levels, headlines sounded bullish, and then one policy comment later everything got shaky. It was one of those weeks where the market wanted to rally, but only if nothing unexpected happened, which obviously didn’t…

  • It finally came crashing down

    Last week was definitely, well, bad for the markets, as it broke its phenomenal rally streak that had been running for several weeks. The main culprit behind this grumpy mood was a concentrated and significant technical correction that hit the AI. I said the bubble burst last week but this bubble is taking a while…

  • Mixed(again)

    The U.S. markets posted(although not a lot). It shows green but that does not tell the full story.The week started strong with record highs across the board, fueled by optimism over a potential easing of trade tensions between the U.S. and China and continued momentum in the technology sector. This good mood was cut short…
