ICP breakout expected as positive cashflow is achievedInternet Computer Protocol is a unique project, that allows investors to accurately assess fundamentals. 2024 has been an amazing year for the project: ICP has been recognised as being the fastest blockchain in terms of max recorded transactions per second, outperforming Solana by more than 3 times (Cryptogics November 2024). In terms of compute, ICP is frequently burning more than 1 trillion 'cycles' per second, approximately 200x the 5B cycles/s it routinely burned a year ago. It is also reported to be the cheapest for transactions and data storage, by one or more orders of magnitude, depending on the blockchain it is compared with (Token Terminal December 2024). More than 4Tb of data is stored on ICP, more than 3.3x the data stored on Ethereum and potentially more data than is held on-chain by all other crypto projects combined. ICP is attracting developers at breakneck speed (3rd preferred blockchain for new developers), with fees collected up 40x year-on-year (Token Terminal December 2024). These metrics are impressive, but despite the heavy-hitting results booked to date, ICP is still ranked 39th with a market cap of (just) US$4.1B in the CoinGecko list of crypto projects, well below projects with no or little utility. This has led to some insiders referring to ICP as 'crypto's most undervalued project'. This month (January 2025), ICP will achieve 'positive cashflow', defined here as the point at which revenue from compute (ICP burned) exceeds the cost of the network (ICP minted to reward node providers). Refer to my post on Nuance for more detail (nuance.xyz). Apart from this critical milestone, the tokenomics of ICP are such that effective deflation is affected by the value of the ICP token. I built a model described in another Nuance post (nuance.xyz) that estimates deflation (defined as a decrease in the ICP circulating supply) to be achieved in 2028, but at the current depressed ICP price below US$10, effective deflation will be achieved before this Christmas!! In the context of the above, I expect ICP to increase significantly in value this year and given the chart provided here, my expectation is that the price of ICP will flip on a dime this week with the news of ICP achieving positive cashflow ('operational profit'). My view is that 10x is achievable in 2025. I do not provide financial advice. The above expresses my personal view and may be way off the mark. Please do your own research but feel free to comment.

Order Flow / Delta Volume Indicator (PAID)Welcome to my Order Flow Slat / Delta Volume Indicator , the most affordable and effective tool for momentum analysis based on order flow and volume. This indicator is designed to perfectly capture market trends and highlight potential traps. Let me break it down for you: • The black line represents the VWap Line, which tracks the overall momentum. • The blue line is the real game-changer. It acts as a confirmation line that syncs with price action to validate whether a trend is solid or deceptive. Here’s how it works: • If the price moves up and the blue line also moves up, the trend is confirmed as solid. • However, if the price moves up while the blue line moves down, it’s likely a trap—indicating weakness in the trend. Take this example: Around the green line at the 101,115 price level, the price appeared to be going up, but the blue line was still rising, signaling a trap. Later, as we observed the 6th red candle, both the blue line and the price were moving down together, confirming a strong downtrend. It’s that simple! This indicator helps you differentiate between solid trends and potential traps with ease. Thank you for watching! Message me to know more about this indicator and pricing and follow for more interesting Indicators.

Snow lake resources = life changing moneySnow lake has been developing an admirable portfolio of drill sites to their repertoire. With multiple drill sites containing a slew of significant resources, and the snow lake site appraised with an estimated NPV of 1.7 billion. This company seems like a no brainer. Their drill site results should be published soon this month or in Feburary, and they have done three cash offerings to raise cash on hand and capital. The company is well positioned to drill on their sites. I have estimated that they will be making 150 million a year in revenue just off of the lithium in their snow lake site. They have found Uranium and Gallium at their drill sites as well. Gallium is crucial for semiconductor fabrcation and is considered one of the most valuable resources on this day. Most of Gallium and semicoductor production is found in Taiwan and this discovery raises an eye when it comes to valuation on this company. With Ai needing more power for the data centers Uranium/nuclear power has become a major point when it comes to pwoering these data centers. With a market cap of 100million currently this company is considered seriously undervalued with just the estimated profit from lithium drilling at snow lake. I think you will see this company reach a valuation of around 1billion-5billion and you might see these shares rise up from around 1.00 to 20-40 dollars a share in a few years time. Thanks, Ben

EUR/USD Weekly: Double Top Signals Further Downside Potential The EUR/USD weekly chart shows a clear double top formation, with the neckline already broken, indicating a potential bearish continuation. Scenario 1: The price could retest the broken neckline, which now acts as resistance, before resuming its downward move. This scenario aligns with the prevailing bearish trend, targeting the key support zone at 0.99810. Scenario 2: If the price manages to break above the resistance after retesting the neckline, it may enter a consolidation phase within the larger descending channel. However, the overall trend remains bearish unless the price breaks out of the channel. The ultimate target for this downtrend lies in the 0.99810 region, where significant support could trigger a reaction. Traders should monitor the neckline retest and price behavior near resistance for further confirmation.

Gold adjusted at the beginning of the week - still in an uptrend⭐️Smart investment, Strong finance ⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION: Gold prices (XAU/USD) dip slightly to around $2,765 during the early Asian session on Monday, influenced by renewed demand for the US Dollar (USD). However, the downside for the precious metal may remain limited due to prevailing caution and uncertainty over US President Donald Trump's tariff policies. The USD gains strength as Trump escalates trade tensions with new measures. On Sunday, he imposed significant tariffs and sanctions on Colombia after the country refused to allow two military planes carrying deported migrants to land. Trump announced an emergency 25% tariff on all Colombian imports, set to increase to 50% within a week. This development adds pressure on USD-denominated gold prices. ⭐️Personal comments NOVA: Gold prices adjusted down after a strong increase last week, creating liquidity at the beginning of the week. Still in an uptrend. ⭐️SET UP GOLD PRICE: 🔥BUY GOLD zone: $2740 - $2738 SL $2733 TP1: $2748 TP2: $2755 TP3: $2770 🔥SELL GOLD zone: $2783 - $2785 SL $2790 TP1: $2775 TP2: $2768 TP3: $2760 ⭐️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

Trade wars begin.The trade war with Colombia will have a ripple effect across several industries, particularly those heavily reliant on imports and exports. Here’s a breakdown of how this could impact sectors and stocks: 1. Coffee Companies (Starbucks, Green Mountain Coffee) Impact: Coffee prices are likely to rise due to reduced imports from Colombia, one of the largest coffee producers in the world. This could affect the cost structure of companies like Starbucks ( NASDAQ:SBUX ) and Keurig Dr Pepper, which owns Green Mountain Coffee. Stock Impact: Short-term: Likely negative, as higher input costs could squeeze margins. Expect some volatility in these stocks as investors react to news. Long-term: If these companies raise prices to offset costs, it could hurt demand, especially for premium-priced products. Opportunities: Monitor Starbucks ( NASDAQ:SBUX ) and consider a put option or short-term bearish strategy if you expect higher costs to impact earnings in the near term. If you’re bullish on their ability to navigate the crisis (e.g., through diversified sourcing), look for a dip-buying opportunity. 2. Floriculture Companies (1-800-Flowers, FLWS) Impact: The U.S. sources a significant percentage of its flowers from Colombia. Disruptions could lead to price spikes, reduced inventory, and higher shipping costs from alternative markets (e.g., Ecuador, Mexico). Stock Impact: Short-term: Likely negative as supply chain costs rise and flower availability decreases. Long-term: FLWS may pivot to alternative sources or raise prices, but this would take time. Opportunities: Watch FLWS closely for earnings revisions or news of sourcing diversification. Short-term bearish plays like puts could capitalize on anticipated cost pressures. 3. U.S. Oil Companies Impact: Stopping U.S. oil exports to Colombia could create slight downward pressure on domestic oil prices due to reduced overseas demand. However, this would be marginal since Colombia isn’t a major importer of U.S. oil. Stock Impact: Short-term: Likely neutral to slightly negative for U.S. oil companies like ExxonMobil ( NYSE:XOM ) and Chevron ( NYSE:CVX ). Long-term: Unlikely to have a major impact unless it coincides with other geopolitical disruptions. Opportunities: Consider refiners (e.g., Valero NYSE:VLO ), as lower crude oil costs could improve refining margins. If you believe U.S. domestic oil prices will dip, look at ETFs like USO for bearish plays. 4. General Market Sentiment Trade wars often create uncertainty, which can lead to increased market volatility. Certain sectors, like consumer staples (e.g., packaged food companies), could act as safe havens, while sectors with direct exposure to Colombia may experience sell-offs. 5. Strategies Without Futures Access Focus on stocks and ETFs that are indirectly impacted: Agriculture ETFs: Consider broader agriculture plays, like DBA (Invesco Agriculture Fund), which includes coffee. Bunge Limited (BG): Another agricultural commodity processor that might reflect broader trends in soft commodity markets. Bearish on Specific Stocks: Use put options or short strategies on stocks like NASDAQ:SBUX or NASDAQ:FLWS if you believe higher costs will erode profits. Bullish on Domestic Producers: Companies that grow coffee domestically or are diversified into synthetic alternatives might benefit from supply chain shifts. Final Thoughts Colombia’s trade war fallout will have mixed effects depending on the sector. For companies heavily dependent on Colombian imports (e.g., coffee and flowers), there’s short-term risk, while for oil-related sectors, the impact is likely neutral to slightly bearish. Evaluate the timing carefully and focus on industries with clear, immediate exposure.

27/01/2025 gold analysisOn gold we are technically approaching the All Time HIgh area supporting by a fear of a cold war leading by DTrump + his particular interest to lower the IR of the USA. During this week there is the FOMC meeting during Wednesday night and the investors are excepting the FED to keep the IR unchanged for the time being As we are near the ATH we can anticipate that FED will not bring that much new to the table and that a TP move from an investors perspective can occur in order to repositionning themselves on better demand zones before potentially continuing higher and breaking the ATH prices. Later on the week we have some PCE numbers actually excepted to be unchanged. We can except price to accumulated / ranging before the actual FOMC.

The Splintering Market: Geopolitical Upheaval, Financial Innovation, and the Looming Food Crisis Abstract The global market is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by rapid geopolitical shifts, technological advancements, and the emergence of innovative financial tools. However, this transformation is not without its challenges. While sectors like artificial intelligence (AI) and electric vehicles (EVs) thrive, the food supply chain faces unprecedented stress, threatening to plunge the world into a crisis not seen since the Great Dust Bowl. This paper explores the concept of market splintering, the widening gap between social classes, and the compounding effects of weakened regulatory agencies on public health and safety. It also examines how these forces interact to reshape the global economy and society. Introduction: A Market and Society at a Crossroads The modern financial market and society are no longer cohesive entities. Instead, they are splintering into distinct sectors and classes, each responding differently to the pressures of geopolitics, technological innovation, and shifting consumer demands. This paper argues that the market is entering a new paradigm, one best described as a "horizontal hourglass," where extreme highs and lows coexist, flattening traditional indices like the S&P 500 into a thread of stagnation. Simultaneously, society is fracturing along class lines, with the looming food crisis threatening to exacerbate these divisions. The catalysts for this transformation are multifaceted. On one hand, geopolitical upheaval—exemplified by Donald Trump's recent tariffs on Colombia—disrupts global supply chains and traditional industries. On the other hand, financial innovation, such as Roundhill Investments' synthetic covered call ETFs, offers new opportunities for investors to adapt to this fractured landscape. However, the most pressing issue lies in the food supply chain, which is under immense stress due to climate change, weakened regulatory oversight, and geopolitical tensions. Together, these forces are reshaping the global economy and society in ways that demand a forward-looking approach to investment, governance, and public health. Chapter 1: The Horizontal Hourglass—A New Market Paradigm 1.1 The Traditional Market Model Historically, financial markets have been analyzed through the lens of cyclical patterns and historical data. The Great Depression, the 2008 financial crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic all followed a similar trajectory: a sharp downturn followed by a gradual recovery. However, this model fails to account for the complexities of the modern global economy, where technology, data, and geopolitics interact in unprecedented ways. 1.2 The Horizontal Hourglass Explained The "horizontal hourglass" is a metaphor for the current market dynamics. Instead of a vertical crash, where all sectors decline simultaneously, the market is bulging outward. High-growth sectors like technology, renewable energy, and electric vehicles (EVs) are reaching new highs, while traditional industries such as consumer goods and manufacturing face significant challenges. This divergence creates a flattened middle, where indices like the S&P 500 struggle to reflect the true state of the market. Top Half of the Hourglass: Dominated by innovation-driven sectors such as technology, EVs, and data analytics. Bottom Half of the Hourglass: Traditional industries, including daily consumer goods and manufacturing, are weighed down by geopolitical disruptions and supply chain vulnerabilities. Flattened Middle: The S&P 500 and other indices fail to capture the extremes, leading to a decade of stagnation. Chapter 2: The Rise of AI and EVs as Stabilizing Forces 2.1 Artificial Intelligence: The New Economic Engine AI is rapidly becoming the backbone of the global economy, driving innovation in sectors ranging from healthcare to finance. Companies leveraging AI are experiencing exponential growth, creating a stark contrast with traditional industries struggling to adapt. AI in Supply Chain Management: While AI is helping optimize supply chains in high-tech industries, it has yet to address the vulnerabilities in the food supply chain, which remains heavily reliant on manual labor and outdated infrastructure. AI and Class Disparity: The rise of AI is creating a new class of "data elites," further widening the gap between the wealthy and the working class. 2.2 Electric Vehicles: The Green Revolution The EV market is another stabilizing force in the fractured economy. Companies like Tesla and Rivian are driving growth in the top half of the hourglass, benefiting from government incentives and consumer demand for sustainable transportation. EVs and Resource Scarcity: The production of EVs relies on rare earth metals, which are subject to geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruptions. EVs and the Food Crisis: While EVs represent progress in reducing carbon emissions, their rise does little to address the immediate challenges of food production and distribution. Chapter 3: The Looming Food Crisis 3.1 A Fragile Supply Chain The global food supply chain is under immense stress, facing challenges not seen since the Great Dust Bowl. Climate change, geopolitical tensions, and labor shortages are converging to create a perfect storm. Climate Change: Extreme weather events are disrupting crop yields, leading to shortages and price spikes. Geopolitical Tensions: Tariffs, sanctions, and trade wars are exacerbating supply chain vulnerabilities, particularly in countries reliant on food imports. Labor Shortages: Deportation policies and restrictive immigration laws are reducing the availability of agricultural labor, particularly in regions like Southern California. 3.2 The Role of Weakened Regulatory Agencies The weakening of the CDC and FDA under the current administration is compounding the food crisis. Budget cuts and reduced oversight are creating a situation where food safety cannot be guaranteed, leading to widespread illness and loss of life. Foodborne Illnesses: Without proper oversight, contaminated food is more likely to enter the supply chain, causing outbreaks of diseases like E. coli and salmonella. Public Health Crisis: The lack of a coordinated response from the CDC and FDA is exacerbating the spread of illness, further straining healthcare systems. 3.3 The Impact on Society The food crisis is widening the gap between social classes, with the working class bearing the brunt of rising food prices and shortages. However, the upper class is not immune, as the lack of safe, reliable food sources affects everyone. Class Disparity: The wealthy can afford to import food or invest in private agriculture, while the working class struggles to access basic necessities. Social Unrest: The combination of food shortages and class disparity is likely to lead to increased social unrest, as seen in historical examples like the French Revolution. Chapter 4: The Intersection of Geopolitics, Food, and Financial Innovation 4.1 How Geopolitics Shapes the Food Crisis Geopolitical actions, such as Trump's tariffs on Colombia, are directly impacting the food supply chain. These policies disrupt trade, increase costs, and create uncertainty in global markets. 4.2 Financial Innovation as a Double-Edged Sword While financial tools like synthetic covered call ETFs offer opportunities for investors, they do little to address the immediate challenges of the food crisis. In fact, the focus on high-growth sectors like AI and EVs may divert resources away from critical areas like agriculture. Chapter 5: Strategies for Navigating the Splintered Market and Food Crisis 5.1 Building a Resilient Portfolio Investors must adopt a forward-looking approach to portfolio management, focusing on sectors and strategies that align with the new market paradigm. Core Holdings: ETFs focused on high-growth sectors like technology, renewable energy, and EVs. Speculative Plays: Synthetic covered call ETFs for high-yield income. Hedging Strategies: Investments in agriculture and food technology to mitigate risks associated with the food crisis. 5.2 Policy Recommendations Governments must take immediate action to address the food crisis and its underlying causes. Strengthening Regulatory Agencies: Restoring funding and authority to the CDC and FDA to ensure food safety and public health. Investing in Agriculture: Supporting sustainable farming practices and modernizing the food supply chain. Addressing Climate Change: Implementing policies to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the impact of extreme weather events. Conclusion: A Fractured Future The global market and society are at a crossroads, shaped by the dual forces of technological innovation and systemic fragility. While AI and EVs offer hope for a brighter future, the looming food crisis threatens to plunge the world into chaos. Addressing these challenges requires a holistic approach that balances innovation with sustainability, ensuring that the benefits of progress are shared by all.
