Sideways movement and stable recovery above 5000GOLDEN INFORMATION: US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) increased by 130,000 in January, above the market consensus of 70,000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Wednesday. This figure was an improvement over December, which saw a gain of 48,000 after a slight downward revision. Meanwhile, the Unemployment Rate edged lower to 4.3% in January from 4.4% in December, below the forecast to stay unchanged at 4.4%. The upbeat report provides some relief to concerns about the state of the US labor market, which could lift the US Dollar (USD) and weigh on the USD-denominated commodity price. ⭐️Personal comments NOVA: Gold prices are stable and the price range is narrowing as they consolidate. Buyers are maintaining a strong position above 5000. ⭐️SET UP GOLD PRICE 🔥SELL GOLD zone: 5138 - 5140 SL 5145 TP1: $5120 TP2: $5100 TP3: $5080 🔥BUY GOLD zone: 4972- 4970 SL 4965 TP1: $4985 TP2: $5000 TP3: $5020 ⭐️Technical analysis: Based on technical indicators EMA 34, EMA89 and support resistance areas to set up a reasonable BUY order. ⭐️NOTE: Note: Nova wishes traders to manage their capital well - take the number of lots that match your capital - Takeprofit equal to 4-6% of capital account - Stoplose equal to 2-3% of capital account

Accumulation below 5134 - gold price⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION: Gold price (XAU/USD) rises to near $5,035 during the early Asian session on Monday. The precious metal extends its recovery amid a weaker US Dollar (USD) and rising demand from central banks. The delayed release of the US employment report for January will be in the spotlight later on Wednesday. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Thursday refused to rule out the possibility of a criminal investigation of Kevin Warsh, President Donald Trump’s nominee for US Federal Reserve (Fed) chair, if Warsh ends up refusing to lower the interest rates. Concerns over the Fed’s independence continue to drag the Greenback lower and provide some support to the USD-denominated commodity price. ⭐️Personal comments NOVA: Gold prices recovered above 5000, consolidating and stabilizing.

BTC To the moon?Bitcoin (BTC/USD) is currently positioned in a critical demand zone, which I believe represents a strong accumulation area for buyers. This zone has historically acted as a support level where significant buying interest emerges, preventing further downside and setting the stage for upward momentum. From a technical perspective: The price is consolidating around this demand area, showing signs of reversal with increasing volume and bullish candlestick patterns. Key support levels in this zone are holding firm, aligning with Fibonacci retracement levels from the previous bull run. I anticipate a strong bullish impulse from here, targeting $120,000 as the primary upside objective. This target is derived from measured moves based on prior wave extensions and resistance projections. Risk management: Place stops below the demand zone to protect against invalidation. This is not financial advice; always DYOR.

XAU/USD sinks below $4,700 as markets reprice a firmer Fed outlook and US manufacturing hits multi-year highs Since last Friday, Gold price tumbled by over 14%.

Prices are constantly rising - 5652⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION: Gold price (XAU/USD) surges to a fresh record high of $5,579 before retreating to around $5,500 in early Asian trading on Thursday. The rally of the precious metal is bolstered by strong safe-haven demand amidst persistent geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty, and a weaker US Dollar (USD). Geopolitical tensions persisted after US President Donald Trump issued fresh warning to Iran on Wednesday. Trump urged Iran to “come to the table” and negotiate a “fair and equitable deal” that would prohibit the development of nuclear weapons or the next US attack would be far worse. Meanwhile, Iran responded with a threat to strike back against the US, Israel and those who support them. ⭐️Personal comments NOVA: With tariffs combined with the risk of another US government shutdown, gold continues to show its current overwhelming appeal. The price increase is too sharp. ⭐️SET UP GOLD PRICE: 🔥SELL GOLD zone: 5652 - 5654 SL 5659 TP1: $5640 TP2: $5620 TP3: $5600 🔥BUY GOLD zone: 5402 - 5400 SL 5395 TP1: $5420 TP2: $5440 TP3: $5460 ⭐️Technical analysis: Based on technical indicators EMA 34, EMA89 and support resistance areas to set up a reasonable BUY order. ⭐️NOTE: Note: Nova wishes traders to manage their capital well - take the number of lots that match your capital - Takeprofit equal to 4-6% of capital account - Stoplose equal to 2-3% of capital account

NFLX Netflix Options Ahead of EarningsIf you ahven`t sold the top on NFLX: nor bought the stock before the rally: With Netflix (NFLX) reporting Q4 2025 earnings today, January 20, 2026, the stock looks primed for a rebound—trading at $88.00, down 91% from its 2021 highs but showing signs of being oversold on the 14-day RSI at around 27 (below 30 threshold, signaling potential buying exhaustion). Consensus expects 17% revenue growth to $11.97B and 28% EPS jump to $0.55, with FY2025 sales up 15% and positive momentum from ads tier and subscriber gains. Adding fuel: Netflix's pending $82.7B acquisition of Warner Bros. (from Warner Bros. Discovery spin-off in Q3 2026) could supercharge content library and synergies, boosting long-term growth. Analyzing the options chain and chart patterns prior to earnings, I would consider a debit call spread: Buy the $110 strike call and sell the $130 strike call, with expiration August 21, 2026, for a net premium of approximately $2.61. If the position moves favorably post-earnings (e.g., RSI bounce and positive guidance), I'd scale out half for risk management. This is a bullish, defined-risk play on NFLX's recovery—DYODD, high volatility expected!

PLTR to $150: Overvaluation, AI Hype, Slowing Government Growth If you haven`t bought PLTR at $16: Palantir has become one of the most crowded trades of the AI boom. While the company is strong fundamentally, the stock price has detached from reality. A move toward $150 (post-split) is not only reasonable — it is structurally likely. 1. Extreme Valuation — PLTR Trades Like a Hyper-Growth AI Leader, But Growth Is Slowing Palantir’s current valuation assumes: accelerating revenue growth massive enterprise AI adoption long-term dominance in the AI/defense space But real numbers tell a different story: government revenue growth has slowed commercial AI revenue is not scaling as fast as expected current valuation implies “perfection” PLTR is priced like Nvidia, but grows closer to a legacy enterprise software company. That gap must eventually close. 2. Government Contracts Are Growing Much Slower Than Expected Historically, the Gov segment was Palantir’s growth engine. Now: U.S. federal agencies face budget constraints large DoD and DHS contracts are delayed or split among competitors players like Anduril, C3.ai, and smaller defense tech shops are taking share geopolitical spending doesn’t translate directly into PLTR revenue Slowing government growth is a major red flag, because it removes the company’s most stable source of revenue. 3. AI Hype in the Commercial Segment Is Not Converting Into Real Revenue (Yet) Most of the excitement around PLTR in 2024–2025 comes from: AIP (Artificial Intelligence Platform) enterprise copilots generative AI tools predictive modeling engines But the commercial AI pipeline suffers from: too many POCs (proof-of-concepts) long implementation timelines (6–24 months) high customer acquisition costs conservative corporate spending The hype is real. The revenue, not so much. 4. Heavy Insider Selling — A Consistent Bearish Signal Top insiders have repeatedly sold shares into every major rally: Alex Karp (CEO) Shyam Sankar (COO) multiple VPs and directors Notice what’s missing: large insider buying. Insiders consistently cash out when retail enthusiasm peaks, which historically precedes corrections. Macro Risk: If AI Capex Slows, PLTR Gets Hit Harder Than NVDA PLTR is far more sensitive to an AI spending slowdown than hardware leaders like Nvidia, which still enjoy massive chip demand.

VIX The Calm Before the Next Wave of Volatility! Recession RisksAfter last week’s sharp selloff across equities and crypto, followed by a swift recovery on Monday, many traders are once again lulled into a sense of comfort. But beneath the surface, volatility is quietly building — and the VIX is starting to tell the story. From Panic to Complacency — Too Fast Friday’s market crash revealed how fragile sentiment still is. We saw broad-based liquidations, risk-off flows, and a short spike in volatility as traders scrambled for protection. Then, as if nothing happened, Monday brought a sharp rebound — driven by short-covering, dip-buying algos, and a belief that the correction was “overdone.” Geopolitical Flashpoints: U.S.-China Tensions The ongoing conflict between the U.S. and China over critical metals exports has intensified. China controls a large portion of rare earth metals, essential for electronics, batteries, and defense technology. Recent U.S. threats to impose sanctions or tariffs on key exports, coupled with potential Chinese retaliatory measures, have created uncertainty for supply chains. Markets hate uncertainty. Every news cycle mentioning trade escalation acts like a volatility catalyst, as investors hedge against unexpected economic shocks. This alone can drive the VIX higher, even if the S&P 500 has short-term rallies. Trump Tariff Threats and Market Psychology Adding fuel to the fire, former President Trump has repeatedly hinted at renewed tariff measures. While the headlines may seem political theater, history shows that even the anticipation of tariffs can disrupt equities and spark short-term volatility spikes. Friday’s selloff can be partially attributed to traders pricing in these geopolitical and policy risks, which are not reflected in earnings reports or fundamentals — making hedging through VIX-linked products increasingly attractive. Earnings and Economic Signals Beyond geopolitics, the earnings season will likely reveal weak spots across sectors. Companies exposed to global supply chains, tech hardware, and industrials may report margins under pressure. This combination — disappointing earnings and global trade uncertainty — often precedes volatility expansions. Historical patterns show that VIX rises ahead of earnings dispersion and macro shocks, as investors scramble for protection against downside surprises. Potential upside target: 25+ if earnings disappoint and SPX breaks below $6000

HIMS 1D: time to heal the trend?On the daily chart, Hims & Hers Health is testing a descending trendline, while MA50 and MA200 provide strong support from below. Buyers are clearly in control. The highlighted buy zone sits around $54.40, but the real signal comes only after a confirmed breakout and retest of the trendline. Technically , the targets are set: first stop at $73.23, then $86.64, and if momentum holds, the extension points to $103.69. That would mark a strong continuation of the bullish move. From the fundamental side, the company keeps expanding its product portfolio and growing its presence in telehealth — a sector known for resilience even during market turbulence. The tactical play: wait for the breakout and retest, then ride the bullish wave. Just don’t confuse HIMS with a real doctor - if you ask for a prescription for profits, all you’ll get is a smile.
