Launch Sequence 🚀 January 11 2026

Last week was our first full trading week of 2026 and there was no shortage of excitement.

The S&P 500 hit a new all time high just above the 6975 level, with futures even settling above the psychological 7000 level.

A lot of the same hot sectors & themes from 2025 are still working: gold, silver, miners, semiconductors, AI, memory, nuclear, and defense for example.

But small caps are also breaking out, outperforming even the large cap indices.

Sectors like homebuilders for example surged after Trump said he is directing his administration to buy $200 Billion of mortgage bonds to support lower interest rates.

A tick down in the US unemployment rate to 4.4% from 4.5% also helped support stocks and metals.

Crypto’s majors underperformed last week with Bitcoin and Ethereum down about 4%, but both are still up slightly since the year began.

Privacy focused projects such as Monero are a bright spot of relative outperformance lately and we recently took a trade entry there.
