This week delivered a shock to the system. In today's episode, we break down the massive implosion in the metals market, with gold and silver getting hit hard and sentiment flipping fast. What caused the sudden collapse—and is this a breakdown or a reset?

We'll also discuss the latest nominee tied to the Federal Reserve, what that choice could signal for rates and policy direction, and how markets are starting to price it in. On top of that, I'll walk you through my current trade updates—what I'm holding, what I've cut, and why—and wrap it all up with a January market recap to set the tone for what comes next.

If you want clarity after a volatile start to the year, this episode delivers.
