GM, the Big Friday we've been ranting about all week finally arrived.
I will start this one with all the essential info we need to chop through, while I’m waiting for the Supreme Court to decide whether or not Trump’s tariffs get nullified, requiring him to repay the outstanding $130 billion worth in revenue. We shall know before this section ends.
The next huge event similar to this one is awaiting us next week on January 15th, when the U.S. Congress decides whether or not the Clarity Act, aka Crypto Market Structure Bill, will be passed. Stay tuned!
Now to this week’s honestly pretty Bull Loaded developments:
The U.S. is magically transforming into a well-functioning, economically expansive scene. After a few tweaks and revisions, GPD for Q4 2025 (can be tracked live using the app) suddenly reached 5.4%, while the US trade deficit hit its lowest level since 2009. Keep tweaking.
That’s great. Plus, on top of that, Orange Man decided he’s going to cook his own quantitative easing strategy. So, in an attempt to pump everything into the midterms and calm the housing market situation, he simply ordered $200 billion of mortgage bond purchases. The Fed has already confirmed that this won’t be a problem; cash is always available.
Here`s the full Trumpster tweet announcing this. Thank you for your attention to this matter and all.
Now, this is accompanied by the Fed's Balance Sheet finally being in the green after a long, long time. Moreover, Treasury Secretary Bessent says "millions of Americans may see the largest tax refunds of their lives" this year. It`s all just pumping flying money everywhere we look.
Is the QE-not-QE really on the menu if we combine all of the above-mentioned factors? I would certainly welcome this to continue.
Even the SEC has officially removed crypto from its 2026 priorities, making the path for crypto development in the US smooth and fully greenlighted.
If this all clicks, AND we get an actual business cycle expansion (this chart staying steady above 50 and rising), then it truly seems like a recipe for a bull run style 2026.
And there we go, as I'm typing this one to a close, the Supreme Court has decided it’s a no-go to rule on anything related to Trump’s tariffs right now. Odds on tariffs being ruled legal soared to 31% on Polymarket shortly after. Nothing ever happens.
But you know what happened? The pre-dump into a higher low we ranted about since Tuesday/Wednesday. That's a week wrapped, folks. Everything rolled out tip-top, magoo, just as expected. Cya next week, let’s try that again.

Privacy as the Main Narrative for 2026: Solana Edition.
I admit, this tweet by Solana Sensei made my work very easy today. Here’s your complete list to chop through and know about all promising privacy projects on Solana.
If you ask me, I think Umbra Privacy looks pretty promising, for example!
Lora Finance (Leverage with NO liquidations, MegaETH)
Yokai Syndicate (NFT, MegaETH) - Mint coming up tomorrow
XMAQIUNA (Robotics Capital Markets) - $10M raised across all public auctions
Markets (HIP-3 markets by Kinetiq) - Going live Jan. 12th
RABITTIO (Airdrop for Digits Rabbits, MegaETH)
Space (First leveraged prediction markets on Solana) - Announces iOS & Android rollout
Stratium (Structured finance for the onchain, powered by SEDA)
BULK (One Exchange, Infinite Markets)
That’s the Orange Man we need rn.
Is this really the bear market everyone has been calling for? I mean, Cramer himself is shouting around telling people it’s NOT a good time to buy stocks.
I don’t know, but I’ll stay bullish until proven otherwise and keep my hopes up for that mystical $107K flip.
Billions are flying around, with more stacks coming up. I’m not going to try moving against it. As Lynn Alden says, “Nothing stops this train”. Maybe she’s right after all? Let’s see, cya you on Monday, everyone.
