Jan 16, 2026 Profit $544
It is January 16th, 2026, and you’re tuned into the Nasdaq Daily Recap.
Market News & Economic Landscape
Today’s economic calendar was fairly busy and gave the market plenty to digest.
At 9:15 AM, we were focused on Industrial Production and Manufacturing Production data.
Later in the morning at 11:00 AM, F O M C member Bowman delivered remarks that traders were closely monitoring for any policy-related clues.
After the closing bell, there were no major tech earnings releases, which kept post-market volatility muted.
Overnight Session
When futures reopened at 6:00 PM, we immediately saw strength across the board as the market jumped higher. Our robot identified the momentum and entered a long position early in the session.
As Asian markets came online, buyers continued to step in, pushing the index higher and solidifying gains. Our long position moved firmly into profit territory.
For the remainder of the overnight session, the index stayed elevated. That said, we did notice Bitcoin and Silver pulling back, signaling some divergence across asset classes.
Pre-Market Data & Volatility
Throughout the early morning hours, the market maintained a strong tone.
Silver experienced a sharp breakdown, crashing below 87.5, while Bitcoin remained largely flat and directionless.
At 9:15 AM, the key data hit the tape.
Industrial production came in 2 percent, down from the previous 2.52 percent, and manufacturing production dropped 0.2 percent, slightly weaker than the prior 0.3 percent reading.
The market reacted with a modest dip as participants reassessed growth expectations.
Cash Session & Intraday Trades
When the US stock market opened at 9:30 AM, we saw momentum begin to cool. However, select names like Tesla, AMD, and Nvidia continued to show relative strength.
Silver, meanwhile, remained under heavy pressure and continued bleeding lower.
As downside momentum picked up, our robot closed the long position and immediately flipped into a short position, adapting quickly to changing conditions.
Before noon, that short position was closed for a 400 dollars profit, bringing our total realized profit to 520 dollars on the day.
Afternoon Session & Into the Close
The afternoon session — especially on a Friday — was characterized by thin volume and tight ranges. Most tech stocks moved sideways as traders stepped back ahead of the long weekend.
Just before the closing bell, our robot identified one more opportunity and entered a final short position, which was closed shortly after for a profit.
That brought our total realized profit to 544 dollars, officially wrapping up a busy Friday.
Daily Summary
With markets heading into a holiday weekend, many investors were already in risk-off mode. The session followed a classic Friday pattern — early movement followed by consolidation.
Our robot navigated both sides of the market efficiently and finished the day with a 544 dollars net profit. Not a bad way to head into a long weekend.
Weekly Summary
This was also a strong week overall, with five consecutive winning days.
Total weekly profit reached 3,348 dollars, marking a very solid and consistent performance.
