We are currently witnessing a major divergence between technology, which is doubting, and traditional industry, which is reassuring. As a trader and member of the Chicago exchanges for decades, I see classic consolidation cycles emerging here that many retail investors ignore. It is time to establish a solid mental framework to understand what is really playing out between the billions invested in AI and the reality of balance sheets.<\/p>\n<p><div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Nasdaq, Bitcoin, Gold: My Key Levels + US Jobs Report Delayed to Feb. 11, 2026\" style=\"width:640px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_hd9G4LIpwA4\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.andlil.com\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fhd9G4LIpwA4%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hd9G4LIpwA4\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT15M52S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2026-02-05T07:33:14Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_hd9G4LIpwA4\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andlil.com\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fhd9G4LIpwA4%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Nasdaq, Bitcoin, Gold: My Key Levels + US Jobs Report Delayed to Feb. 11, 2026<\/div><\/div><button tabindex=\"0\" class=\"play\" aria-label=\"Play the video\"><\/button><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hd9G4LIpwA4\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.andlil.com\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fhd9G4LIpwA4%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Nasdaq, Bitcoin, Gold: My Key Levels + US Jobs Report Delayed to Feb. 11, 2026\" width=\"640\" height=\"340\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"For the Nasdaq, I outline a simple method to read the session with concrete markers. I review the monthly support around 25,000 points, the breakout\/reintegration, and the use of regular alerts (250, 500, 750, 1,000 points) with a focus on 24,750. I also update on Bitcoin (70,000 level, then 66,000 zone) and Gold, currently below its monthly pivot (under 5,000) with a slightly negative bias. Finally, I note a specific calendar event: the monthly US employment report is postponed to Feb. 11, 2026, at 2:30 PM. Subscribe if this helps.

Risk Warning: Trading in leveraged financial instruments may expose you to a risk of loss exceeding deposits and is only suitable for experienced clients who have sufficient financial means to bear such risk. Transactions in foreign exchange instruments (Forex), contracts for difference (CFDs), Futures, Stocks, ETFs... are highly speculative and particularly complex and carry a high level of risk due to leverage. You must ensure that you understand how these instruments work and that you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

We are observing successive waves of declines as soon as the index tries to lift its head. Basically, investors are starting to question the immediate profitability of artificial intelligence. It\u2019s not the end of the world, but it is a return to reality.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what is structuring this decline:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Doubt on valuations<\/strong>: Companies like Datadog are suffering heavy losses because there is fear they will become obsolete or targets.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Astronomical costs<\/strong>: AI requires massive investments. We are no longer talking about a few billion, but plans worth 100, 200, or even 300 billion.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inevitable consolidation<\/strong>: Like the French automotive industry, which went from 50 manufacturers to 2 in a century, only the best-capitalized players will survive this industrial revolution.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Europe, by the way, starts with a serious capitalization lag. We will have to constantly put more money in the pot, an inertia that not everyone will be able to withstand.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-revenge-of-the-old-economy\">The Revenge of the &quot;Old Economy&quot;<\/h2>\n<p>While Tech is suffering, the Dow Jones is displaying insolent health. This is what I call the revenge of traditional industry. Money hates uncertainty. When we start to doubt the infinite growth of Nvidia or Tesla, capital migrates through a mechanism of communicating vessels.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine you receive an inheritance from &quot;Aunt Jeanine&quot;. With the current volatility, you aren\u2019t going to bet everything on risky assets. You\u2019re going to look for something tangible, McDonald\u2019s, Coca-Cola. This is exactly what is happening: the Dow Jones is at its 15-day highs because it reassures prudent capital. It is a typical performance asymmetry in times of doubt.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"bitcoin-and-gold-back-to-earth\">Bitcoin and Gold: Back to Earth<\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin, that product made to make the middle class dream, is showing worrying signs of fatigue. After failing to hold 75,000 then 72,500 dollars, it is now testing the 70,000 zone. If it breaks this support, inertia could quickly drag us towards 66,000.<\/p>\n<p>As for gold, it shows weakness under its monthly pivot point. As long as it stays under 5000, prudence is required. There are no miracles: to make money, you need discipline and work, not just closing your eyes and hoping to become a millionaire.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"a-calendar-anomaly-to-watch-the-nfp\">A Calendar Anomaly to Watch: The NFP<\/h2>\n<p>Watch your agenda, because an irregularity will disrupt our habits. The monthly US employment report (NFP), traditionally published on Friday, is shifted.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The cause<\/strong>: A 4-day administrative shutdown in the United States.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The new date<\/strong>: Wednesday, Feb 11 at 8:30 AM ET.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is a crucial statistic that creates enormous volatility. Mark it, because that Wednesday, it\u2019s going to shake. In the meantime, European markets like the CAC 40 risk remaining in wait-and-see mode, stuck by their &quot;civil servant&quot; hours (if you\u2019ll pardon the expression) facing global markets that never sleep.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>In summary, we are in a selective sorting phase: Tech must prove its profitability in the face of exorbitant costs, while the Dow Jones benefits from its safe-haven status. Stay cautious, don\u2019t look for easy money on cryptos without a strategy, and watch this shifted schedule. On my side, the fight continues on a personal level too: 48 hours without sugar, it\u2019s hard, but discipline applies everywhere, in trading as on the plate.<\/p>\n<p><div style=\"margin-top: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"encart\">\n<p>Benoist Rousseau<br \/>\nTrader \u2022 CME Member \u2022 Economic History Specialist<\/p>\n<p>About the author<br \/>\nBenoist Rousseau is a trader, member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), an economic history specialist educated at the Sorbonne and an experienced educator.<br \/>\nIn the GOOD MORNING TRADING series, with over 30 years of experience, he shares his independent analysis of global financial news every morning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><div style=\"margin-top: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Sign up for the newsletter and receive a $100 USD gift token<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<p><getresponse-form fields=\"email,name\" form-id=\"58f316f9-64b8-49e1-9eb9-dce612bfba6c\" e=\"0\"><\/getresponse-form><\/p>\n<p class=\"tiers-avis tiers-avis--haut\" data-lyte-avis hidden>By starting the video, you accept YouTube&#039;s cookies.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nasdaq Down, Dow Jones Up: The Truth About AI Profitability The market is sending us a clear signal: euphoria is giving way to rigor.
