When Bitcoin rallied at the beginning of the year, we noted in our Year Kickoff post that, while the move was enjoyable to watch, it lacked the traditional signs of supply-crunch pressure typically seen ahead of a push to new all-time highs. As a result, our expectations remained deliberately moderate. Since that update, the data has continued to point to a tug-of-war, with opposing forces largely offsetting one another and no clear directional signal emerging. The recent dra

Everything had been going smoothly in the markets since the beginning of the year. Earnings season started on a relatively calm note, and market breadth was improving significantly, led by strength in the Russell 2000. Even the Nasdaq — currently the market’s unpopular child — was on the verge of breaking out of its three-month consolidation to post new all-time highs on Wednesday, following a solid five-day advance. That momentum abruptly reversed, however, as the market fli

My initial idea was to make my first post of the year a longer piece covering the current market environment, the overall outlook for 2026, the leading investment theme for the year, and a few other related topics. As I started writing, however, I realized I had much more to say about the market itself, and that section naturally evolved into a post of its own. Now that we’ve clarified my views on the current market environment and the broader picture for the year, let’s m

Late happy new year, everyone. Sorry for the slight delay on this usual New Year post. I caught that stupid flu over Christmas—like probably half of you—which pushed my New Year post into the first week of January. The first week of the year is always particularly hectic for me work-wise, but more on that later. That being said, I didn’t really feel the rush, as the market is currently doing its thing: a low-volatility grind higher, with some good days and some bad ones, but

I’m glad to introduce the latest addition to PAND·AI: our Investor Sentiment Analysis section. This new feature summarizes what people have been saying about a given stock over the last 72 hours on FinTwit (X), as well as what has been written about that stock during the same period across most major finance-related websites. This section is particularly important to me and is one I consult on a daily basis (yes we had an internal version for a while!). At the end of the d

This week, we have seen a streak of red candles forming under relatively low volatility. Today, after opening in the green, the session turned into the worst day of the series. This naturally raises the question: are we heading back into a full-blown correction, or will Santa soon make us forget these few bad days?

We’re happy to launch PAND·AI today as a new addition to WU Advanced—our take on building a responsible AI analyst, one that is grounded in real institutional data and doesn’t spit out random, hallucinated gibberish. Every graph, feature, and output you see on our platform exists because it fits my actual needs as an investor. Saying it this way might sound selfish, but it isn’t. Instead of building features based on the naïve reflex of a product designer who wants to “add

We may be about to re-enter the market. Our Hedge signal has moved back into the safe zone on TradingView, but not yet on our DataHub. Unlike the discrepancies that sometimes occur with our Option Model, this difference is expected because the underlying data is not exactly the same. For those who were with us in May 2024, you may remember that when we first started working on our DataHub, we ran into an issue: the underlying data for our breadth-related signal was simply far

After nearly three months out of the market, our BTC Active Hodling strategy re-entered the market on Saturday. The data behind this signal is considerably delayed, so the alert only appeared on Sunday. With this morning’s new data, we confirmed that there would be no repainting, so we sent you an SMS alert at a moment when BTC was trading roughly around the midpoint of Sunday’s candle. Since then, BTC has continued to rise. Here is a quick update on what triggered the “WU IN
