Gold has printed a Hanging Man candlestick on the daily timeframe following a sustained bullish move. This pattern typically appears near potential market tops and often signals buyer exhaustion, rather than an immediate trend reversal. The candle’s long lower shadow shows that sellers were able to push price significantly lower during the session. However, buyers managed to recover most of the losses by the close.

I am seeing new signs of yet more Google Search ranking volatility and a possible tweak to the ranking search algorithm. Something kicked off yesterday, January 15th, that the third-party tools picked up on. With this update, there is limited chatter, unlike the previous unconfirmed Google Search ranking update.The heat and volatility seemed to kick into gear on January 15, 2026, based on the third-party tools. Some people noticed some swings in their ranking and Google traffic around then as well. It is hard to know how wide spread the search volatility is, but it is worth reporting to see…

These are things that I tried and tested myself, and I’m happy with the results. You can always make it better. You can improve things. But it does give you a good taste of what can be done in vibe coding. Those are things that I made maybe in 15 minutes, half an hour. It is quite simple to get those first steps and say, “Oh, this works.” Maybe you want to do some improvements, and you refine the code and what you’re expecting. But I’m always just asking ChatGPT. So if the code of one page doesn’t work, I will…

U.S. Senate Democrats are reportedly set to reopen talks with representatives from the cryptocurrency industry on Friday, according to people familiar with the plan speaking to CoinDesk.  All this comes less than two days after a last-minute postponement of a key Senate Banking Committee hearing on sweeping digital asset legislation. The call follows Wednesday night’s abrupt cancellation of the committee’s planned markup of the long-negotiated crypto market structure bill, which had been expected to divide regulatory oversight of digital assets between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).  The delay came after Coinbase, the…

I get many emails from beginning traders asking me what are the best markets to trade. However, today’s lesson is not about that topic exactly, although if you want to know which markets I recommend you start out with, click here. Today’s lesson is about why you should have a favorite market to trade. In other words, one market that you are intimately familiar with and that you trade more often than others. Having one market that you’re a Jedi Master of, can help you become more of a specialist, and specialists are people who make the most money in…

By Thomas Perfumo, Kraken Global Economist Crypto markets in 2025 were driven overwhelmingly by Bitcoin, which itself was shaped by macro forces and mainstream adoption. That framing carries forward into 2026. What’s changed is not the importance of Bitcoin, but the channels through which demand, liquidity, and risk are now expressed. Crypto’s new market structure As a macro asset, Bitcoin continues to lead market risk sentiment shifts in a period defined by mixed economic growth, persistent inflation, and volatile geopolitical catalysts. This translates into compressed volatility ranges punctuated by sharp, narrative-driven moves. The market feels less euphoric than prior cycles…

The Williams Fractal MT4 Indicator is a technical analysis tool developed by Bill Williams. It identifies fractals, which are patterns formed by a series of at least five consecutive bars that indicate a potential reversal in price direction. Fractals appear as small arrows on the chart, marking local highs and lows. Traders can use these signals to anticipate market turning points, making it easier to plan entries and exits. While it works best in trending markets, combining it with other indicators like moving averages or the Awesome Oscillator can improve accuracy in sideways or volatile conditions. How It Helps Traders…
