Ready to kick off the first full trading week of 2026?
Hope so, because if the weekend’s buzz is any indication, we might be in for a bit of a ride this week with the recent Venezuela news.
On X over the weekend, The Kobeissi Letter account posted something which I thought was really interesting, especially for traders…
“This is absolutely insane: Venezuela currently has 303 billion barrels of crude oil reserves, which Trump says the US now controls.
Oil prices are trading at ~$57/barrel, making Venezuela's total reserves worth $17.3 TRILLION.
Even if the US sells this oil for HALF of the market rate, that's still $8.7 TRILLION.
In other words, in 12 hours, the US has gained control of oil reserves worth more than the entire GDP of ALL countries in the world, aside from the US and China. That's 4 TIMES larger than the GDP of Japan.
Most people do not realize how much the world just changed. The next few days will be critical.”
Now I’m no geopolitical guru and who knows what happens next here…
But it’s probably safe to say that there might be a bit of volatility this week?
Whether that shows up in oil or natural gas, or a spillover into broader market sentiment where we see heightened volumes across equities…
No matter how it all unfolds…
These volatility swings can create some timely opportunities for TPT traders.
Especially when we trade it with discipline instead of recklessness.
As we do, the goal shouldn’t be to just “trade more”, but to trade better! Because it’s all too common during volatility to hit our profit goals, then give it all back in another trade just because we got greedy.
So remember, one good trade with volatility can beat five forced ones.
And since you have no consistency rule or withdrawal limits in a PRO account…
You’re able to take full advantage of both daily volatility and daily PRO payouts without being forced to wait or slowed down!
