Big Economic Data Tomorrow, Markets Awaiting the Next Catalyst
Subscriber UpdateFEB192026
As always, Magnelibra Readers, let’s kick things off with our positive daily affirmation:
“If you can create it in your mind and believe it in your heart, then you can achieve it!”
I saw this on Everyday Power and it just struck me as so simple but yet so profound:
We stand firm in the power of positive affirmations, optimistic mindsets, and the relentless pursuit of the best possible outcomes. When you really think about it, the alternative- negativity and stagnation offers nothing worthwhile.
That’s why we keep pushing to become the strongest, clearest version of ourselves.

We are dishing this post out to every body today, we know the markets are at a crucial point, you can sense it, you can feel it, its like we are just waiting for the catalyst. We never know what that catalyst may be, but that doesn’t mean we can’t figure out ways to become more defensive in nature as opposed to accumulating and taking on more risk.
There are times when trading and investing diverge and although they share similar qualities, trading is and should be more of a proactive defensive posture for the majority vs longer term passive style asset accumulation. I think this is where most people fail to realize the difference.
Its like the old saying, “All bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon, well all traders are investors, but not all investors are traders!”
I honestly believe that all investors should be traders because the real goal is always the same, to make money, to get to the point where money is working for you and not the other way around. There is a precipice for everyone, that level by which you can obtain and pass the singularity point by which you are making passive income while simultaneously deleveraging and de-risking your profile. I think everyone’s singularity point is different, but the goals are always the same, capital appreciation.
This is where we hope to allure you to dig deeper, to use the tools at your disposal, to educate yourselves by consistently reading here and possibly implementing some of the things we tend to highlight. In a world full of variables, time and price remain at the very heart of sentiment and no matter what drives a given market, volatility, fundamentals, technical, the price at any given moment is the culmination of all the variables as seen by the total market participants. Its dynamic and its where we generally tend to focus our analysis.
As far as the fundamentals, well we have a lot of economic numbers to digest tomorrow from GDP to PCE as shown from MarketWatch, here:
We suspect tomorrows closing marks on our weekly charts will start to confirm a more broader theme of deleveraging and de-risking. As if the bloodbath in commercial real estate or alternative managers isn’t enough evidence already as we have seen a broad sell-off and a sharp correction in the alternative asset management sector:
The 2026 YTD Performance Snapshot: Major Alternative Asset Managers
We all know Blue Owl Capital has stood out in the media lately and has halted redemptions and its action like this, that has the potential to exposing the leverage that is embedded in the global market place, not just here in the U.S.
Technically we are keeping a tight eye on the QQQ ETF where our pivot remains at 596. A close below this tomorrow will see follow through selling next week, but a firm rise tomorrow or a close above 609 would keep the sellers from accelerating their positions as the QQQ has sold off for 3 weeks in a row now:
We also know a good metric for risk is Bitcoin, we normally will keep our Bitcoin chart in our digital strategy section but let’s look at it here. $65k is huge, its been our number for a few weeks now and the bulls here better not get a settle tomorrow below it if they do, the sellers will most likely pile in with leverage to see just how far they could push it:
Ok we will get into a whole lot more with our Daily Subscriber data and our Digital Strategy data, we will have more technical charts as well.
