🌍 The end of the liberal world order and the return of power politics

The Atlantic published an essay by political scientist Robert Kagan arguing that US foreign policy under Trump effectively marks the end of the post-WWII liberal international order.

Kagan’s core point is blunt. The American-led order is ending not because the US can’t sustain it, but because it no longer wants to. US power will shift from maintaining global stability to openly pursuing national advantage.

He warns this pushes the world back toward a pre-1945 system of spheres of influence, great power rivalry, and frequent wars. Alliances weaken. Security becomes transactional. States either rearm or cut deals with stronger players.

As a symbol of this shift, Kagan points to US claims on Greenland, where territory is treated as a strategic asset rather than a question of norms or sovereignty.

If defending the old system felt expensive, Kagan’s message is simple.
What comes next will cost much more.

📊 How the daily candle sets bias

The idea is simple and mechanical.

Start by marking PDH and PDL, the previous day’s high and low. These two levels frame the entire session.

📈 If the daily candle closes above PDH, bias shifts bullish and the market usually looks for continuation toward higher levels. Strength is accepted.

📉 If price sweeps above PDH but fails and closes back below it, the bias flips bearish. That move signals rejection, with PDL becoming the natural target.

The close does the talking.

Emotional regulation in trading isn’t just about staying calm while you’re in a position.

It starts outside of trading.

When trading becomes your primary source of validation, meaning, or direction, every outcome matters too much.

And when outcomes matter too much, decision-making suffers.
