Later in the morning, at 11:30 AM, the Treasury conducted the 3- and 6-month bill auctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the corporate side, Netflix was set to release earnings after the closing bell, keeping traders cautious throughout the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Overnight Session<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When futures reopened at 6:00 PM, the market initially moved higher, and our robot entered a long position.<br>Meanwhile, Bitcoin continued sliding, while Silver began to pull back from recent highs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Asian markets opened, momentum shifted. The market dipped, and our long position was stopped out for a loss, setting a cautious tone heading into the European session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pre-Market Data &amp; Volatility<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the early morning hours, volatility increased noticeably. Our robot executed several swing trades, which unfortunately resulted in additional losses.<br>At the same time, Bitcoin crashed below 91,000, while Silver briefly touched the 95 level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 8:15 AM, the ADP Employment Change Weekly came in at 8 thousand, lower than the previous reading of 11.25 thousand. The market reacted negatively, dipping further.<br>In response, our robot entered a short position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, realized losses had accumulated to 312 dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cash Session &amp; Intraday Trades<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 9:30 AM, as U.S. equity markets officially opened, volatility accelerated. Our robot actively traded the fast-moving conditions, executing several intraday positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitcoin continued its downward trajectory toward the 90,000 level, while Intel surged higher, up roughly 5 percent, providing some sector-specific strength amid broader weakness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By late morning, improved trade management helped reduce the realized loss to 68 dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Afternoon Session &amp; Into the Close<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the afternoon, selling pressure intensified and the market dropped sharply. Our robot responded by entering a short position as downside momentum strengthened.<br>AI and technology stocks remained under pressure, and Bitcoin continued to slide throughout the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the closing bell, the open short position carried an unrealized profit of over 300 dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the close, Netflix reported earnings, and the stock moved lower. However, its impact on the broader index remained limited. That wrapped up a busy and volatile Tuesday in the markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today marked the first full trading day after the long weekend, and the market showed clear signs of weakness and elevated volatility. Despite a challenging start, our robot adapted to the changing conditions, managing risk effectively and reducing the day\u2019s losses to 134 dollars while carrying a profitable position overnight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is January 20th, 2026, and you\u2019re tuned into the Nasdaq Daily Recap.
