The probability of what is happening is near zero.
Three 6-sigma events occurred in one week.
– Bonds
– Silver
– Gold
We are currently living through a statistical impossibility.
Let me explain:
Last Tuesday, Japanese 30-year debt recorded what’s called a “6-sigma” session.
2 days ago, silver did even better: it was at 5-sigma on the rally, then reached 6-sigma on the drop. IN A SINGLE SESSION.
Gold right now? It’s up 23% in less than a month. We’re getting very close to a 6-sigma event.
That’s three 6-sigma events in ONE WEEK.
To explain quickly: in finance, we measure price moves around an average using the standard deviation, which we call sigma.
1-sigma: mundane
2-sigma: common
3-sigma: becomes rare
4-sigma: exceptional
5-sigma: extremely rare
6-sigma: supposed to occur once in 500 million
Here are the 6-sigma-type episodes we saw previously:
– The october 1987 crash, 22% drop in 1 session
– March 2020 covid crash
– The swiss franc’s surge in january 2015
– WTI oil turning negative in april 2020
But we’ve never had 3 events occur in one week.
Do you see the point?
A 6-sigma event is almost NEVER triggered by a simple macro headline.
It almost always comes from the market’s structure: leverage, positions that are too concentrated, margin calls, collateral problems, and forced selling or buying.
That’s important to understand because we’re talking about internal strains in the system’s mechanics.
As you know, the Japanese bond market sits at the heart of the global financial system, and I won’t go back over the whole topic, but a 6-sigma move in a market that enormous doesn’t go unnoticed.
Seeing a 6-sigma move in silver a few days later gives one a lot to think about.
And now gold?? That’s absolutely insane.
Why are we seeing extreme statistical events, only days apart, in such different markets?
When a pillar of global funding becomes unstable, leverage tends to contract, and two things happen at the same time: forced selling in certain assets and forced buying of protection in others.
Historically, precious metals are often among the beneficiaries.
Long-term rates say something about the credibility of states: that is, their ability to honor future debts without resorting massively to inflation.
Precious metals say something about the credibility of the currency itself, and when both become unstable at the same time, we’re looking at a challenge to the monetary framework.
I won’t go on, because I want to share the rest in another tweet tomorrow, but generally when a regime starts to crack, the adjustments are BRUTAL.
It’s exactly in those moments that several high-sigma events appear across different asset classes.
I’ll repeat it: seeing three 6-sigma events back to back is not normal.
Gold and silver are telling you, explicitly, that we’re living through a real paradigm shift.
Remember, I’ve called every market top and bottom of the last 10 years.
When I make a new move, I’ll share it here publicly for everyone to see, and it’s coming soon.
A lot of people will wish they followed me sooner.

Forget the interest rate numbers for a second. Today’s FOMC meeting (Jan 28) isn’t just about a decimal point—it’s a high-stakes drama about the future of the Federal Reserve itself.

While the market is virtually certain we’ll see a Hold (3.50%–3.75%), the real fireworks won’t happen in the 2:00 PM statement. They start at 2:30 PM ET, when Jerome Powell steps to the mic.

Here are the three "Shadow Battles" that will actually move your portfolio today:

1. The Independence Standoff 🛡️

Powell isn’t just fighting inflation; he’s fighting for his job. Between a DOJ investigation into Fed renovations and a Supreme Court case regarding the potential firing of Governor Lisa Cook, the Fed’s autonomy is under its heaviest fire in decades.

• The Risk: If Powell sounds even slightly intimidated by political pressure, market confidence in a stable dollar could evaporate instantly.

2. The Succession Sidebar 🐎

With Powell’s term ending in May, he’s effectively a "lame duck." The rumors of his replacement are reaching a fever pitch:

• The Frontrunners: BlackRock’s Rick Rieder (seen as a pro-crypto "bond king") and Kevin Warsh (an outspoken Fed critic).

• The Vibe: Markets are already trying to price in a future where the Fed might be far more "dovish" (and potentially more political) than it is today.

3. The "Sticky" Reality 🕸️

Inflation is hovering stubbornly around 2.7%, and the labor market is cooling but not quite cracking. This leaves the Fed in a trap:

• The "Higher for Longer" mantra is back. Don't expect a rate cut until at least June 2026.

BTC is currently wrestling with the $88,000 level. If you're trading today, do not get chopped up by the 2:00 PM "algo-spike." Wait for the press conference.

2026年1月の最終週を迎えるにあたり、世界の金融構造は「静かな革命」を経験しています。小売のセンチメントは$BTC の即時の価格動向に超集中していますが、学術的なクラスはより深い変化を見守っています。それは、投機的な暗号市場から地政学的な準備経済への移行です。
この深掘りでは、今週の3つの「マクロの柱」を分析し、それが$BTC 、$ETH 、及び$SOL の2026年残りの軌道を根本的に変えてきたことを考察します。

10年以上にわたり、「四年周期」は暗号市場の揺るぎない法則でした。すべての半減期は供給ショックを約束し、その後に放物線的なブルランが続きました。しかし、2026年1月下旬を迎えるにあたり、データは根本的な体制の変化を確認しています。半減期はもはや市場の主要な推進力ではありません。グローバル流動性です。
この機関投資家向けの深掘りでは、古い供給サイドモデルがマクロ流動性フレームワークに置き換えられた理由と、それが$BTC 、$ETH 、そしてSOLの構造的な底について何を意味するのかを解説します。

Поки криптоспільнота нервує через останні заяви з Білого дому, аналітики помітили чіткий шаблон у діях Дональда Трампа. Це не просто торгова політика — це вивірений інструмент контролю ринкових очікувань.
🔄 Класична схема Трампа:
Удар у вихідні: гучне оголошення робиться у п’ятницю ввечері або на вихідних. Фондові ринки закриті, новина «вариться», а $BTC , як єдиний цілодобовий актив, приймає на себе весь перший удар волатильності.
Дедлайни замість рішень: вводяться ставки з далекими дедлайнами без миттєвих дій. Це створює невизначеність.
Механічний розпродаж: фонди скидають ризики. Акції та BTC падають, золото росте. Ця фаза триває близько тижня.
«Заспокійливе»: через пару тижнів з’являється риторика про «успішні переговори». Ринок згадує, що тарифи — це довго, і заспокоюється.
Фінальний відскок: на 4–6 тиждень оголошується угода або відтермінування. Ринок відновлюється і... виходить вище рівнів, що були до падіння.
🇪🇺 Що зараз?
Зараз за цією ж схемою Трамп «тисне» на Європу та питання Гренландії. Геополітичні ризики вищі, ніж раніше, що спричинило сьогоднішню турбулентність на ринках. Ми бачимо, як деякі альткоїни особливо страждають: наприклад, Shiba Inu сьогодні втратив позиції в топ-24, поступившись Hedera (HBAR) через загальний відтік капіталу з ризикових активів.
💡 Отже, історія показує, що кожен такий «тарифний шок» — це лише тимчасова турбулентність. Після кожного падіння ринки не просто відновлювалися, а ставили нові максимуми. Стратегія проста: не панікувати на «заголовках вихідного дня». Велика гра Трампа завжди закінчується стимулюванням ринків.
А як ви дієте під час таких новин?
💎 — Холджу і не смикаюсь
🚀 — Купую «тарифний пролив»
👀 — Чекаю ясності в кеші

“2026 is not about forecasting faster growth, but about understanding a new pricing grammar.
Markets are shifting from efficiency and central-bank certainty toward resilience, policy-driven outcomes, and structural constraints.
Returns increasingly come from position, not prediction.”
A New Pricing Grammar for Markets
What most warrants reappraisal in 2026 is not the familiar question of whether growth will be stronger or weaker, but the fact that markets are increasingly operating under a different pricing grammar.
For nearly two decades, asset returns rested on two quiet assumptions. First, global supply chains were optimised for efficiency, keeping costs low and inflation subdued. Second, central banks provided reliable backstops during periods of stress, compressing risk premia across asset classes. Both assumptions are now weakening.
Supply chains increasingly prioritise control, redundancy, and security over cost minimisation. Fiscal and industrial policy now feed directly into earnings expectations rather than operating in the background. Geopolitics has shifted from a tail risk into a persistent source of market noise. In this context, regionalisation is not a slogan, but a structural change in the constraints under which markets function.
Regionalisation: Not Decoupling, but a New Cost Function
Regionalisation is often misunderstood as full-scale economic decoupling. In practice, it represents a shift in the objective function of globalisation: from “efficiency at all costs” to “efficiency subject to security constraints.”
Once security becomes binding, variables that previously sat outside valuation models begin to matter. Supply-chain redundancy, energy independence, access to critical minerals, export controls on strategic technologies, and the rigidity of defence budgets now feed into discount rates and earnings durability.
Two pricing consequences follow. First, risk premia become structurally higher and less mean-reverting. Political and policy uncertainty is no longer episodic; it is a daily input. Even developed markets can no longer assume that risk is priced close to zero.
Second, global beta explains less of total returns, while regional and thematic alpha matter more. The same growth and inflation data can translate into very different valuations depending on policy frameworks and geopolitical alignment. Diversification increasingly means diversifying by supply-chain position and policy sensitivity, not simply by geography.
Equities: From Buying Growth to Buying Position
Between 2010 and 2021, equity allocation largely meant buying growth alongside falling discount rates. In 2026, equity investing looks more like buying position.
Position refers to where a market sits across three structural maps: the resource map, the compute map, and the security map. Markets located at critical nodes of these systems can command persistent valuation premia, even when domestic macro conditions appear unremarkable.
Commodities and Resource Equities: Supply Constraints as Strategy
In a world where security is a first-order priority, holding inventories of gold, silver, copper, and other industrial metals becomes rational even without immediate end-use demand. Supply chains can be disrupted abruptly, and strategic stockpiling increasingly reflects national policy rather than market cycles.
Critical minerals face long development timelines and structural supply constraints, making commodities behave less like cyclical growth proxies and more like strategic assets. Resource-endowed equity markets benefit from this shift.
Copper-linked equities in countries such as Chile reflect foundational demand from electrification and infrastructure build-out. Precious metals and diversified resource equities in markets like South Africa offer leverage to supply constraints, though with higher political and currency volatility. These exposures work best as supply-constraint factors rather than broad emerging-market beta.
AI Infrastructure: Capex Visibility Over Narrative Growth
While application-layer AI narratives dominate headlines, the more durable allocation opportunity lies in infrastructure. Compute, power generation, data centres, networking, and cooling are capital-intensive, balance-sheet-visible investments with clearer capex visibility.
Under regionalisation, redundancy and localisation raise the strategic value of physical infrastructure. Rising compute density translates into higher electricity demand, engineering spend, and grid investment. Framing AI as an infrastructure build-out, rather than a pure software cycle, shifts expected returns upstream.
Markets such as South Korea, positioned at the industrial interface of global compute infrastructure, often provide a cleaner equity expression of this capex cycle. Their appeal lies not only in growth potential, but in policy support and durable demand visibility.
Defence and Security: Policy-Backed Order Flow
Defence and security have returned to prominence for the first time since the Cold War. A more transactional global security environment and the Russia–Ukraine conflict have pushed defence spending higher across the US and Europe.
The defining feature of defence-linked assets is that demand is driven by fiscal and security imperatives rather than household consumption. Once defence budgets rise, political resistance to reversal tends to be strong, improving order visibility and earnings durability.
However, defence equities often reprice ahead of fundamentals. Event-driven reratings are common, followed by periods of consolidation. As a result, defence and security are best treated as portfolio stabilisers or tail-risk hedges rather than pure growth engines.
Non-US Markets: Correlation Matters More Than Cheapness
Hong Kong SAR and China assets are often described as “cheap,” but their allocation value lies elsewhere. Risk pricing in these markets tends to embed pessimism early, creating rebalancing optionality. More importantly, their policy functions and sector composition differ meaningfully from US and European markets.
In a regionalised regime, correlations do not automatically fall. During stress, they often rise. Structurally differentiated exposures can therefore play a valuable hedging role, improving portfolio resilience rather than maximising standalone returns.
Rates and Treasuries: Managing Term Premium, Not Chasing Cuts
In 2026, the front end of the yield curve remains anchored to policy expectations, while the long end increasingly reflects term premium. Rate cuts can pull short yields lower, but long-dated yields respond to inflation tail risks, fiscal supply, and political uncertainty.
This explains why declines in yields have been far more pronounced at the front end than at the long end. Long-end “stubbornness” does not imply mispriced rate expectations; it reflects markets charging again for long-horizon risk.
The implication is clear: duration should be managed in layers. Curve-structure trades, particularly steepeners, persist because they align with the structural divergence between policy-driven front ends and risk-priced long ends.
Crypto: Ring-Fencing Digital Commodity Exposure
Crypto markets in 2026 are defined less by broad rallies and more by internal differentiation. Bitcoin increasingly behaves like a non-sovereign digital commodity, with rules-based supply and cross-border portability that fit a regionalised world.
Many altcoins, by contrast, trade more like equity risk assets, dependent on growth narratives, ecosystem expansion, and liquidity conditions. When risk-free rates remain attractive and traditional capital markets mature, these assets must offer higher risk compensation to remain compelling.
The practical approach is ring-fencing. Bitcoin fits naturally within a commodity or alternatives sleeve, where small allocations can add asymmetry. Equity-like tokens require explicit risk budgets and higher return hurdles.
Anchor on Constraints, Not Forecasts
Trading in 2026 is less about perfect prediction and more about recognising constraints. Supply constraints restore the strategic role of commodities. Capex visibility supports AI infrastructure. Policy-backed order flow underpins defence. Term-premium repricing reshapes duration returns. Selected non-US exposures improve portfolio structure through differentiation.
The advantage lies not in guessing the next headline, but in building portfolios that monetise structural divergence. In a regionalised era, resilience is not defensive—it is the primary source of returns.
