We’re seeing more investors pay attention to how AI is being applied to market analysis, especially tools that focus on pattern recognition and probability rather than gut instinct. One platform from TradeSmith is designed to analyze massive amounts of historical price data and highlight where stocks like Nvidia (NVDA) may be setting up next. Built using time-series modeling and refined over years of development, it’s meant to give investors an additional data point when thinking about short-term price movement, not a crystal ball. You can view how it works and decide for yourself if it’s useful.

A free educational guide explores these historical parallels and explains IRS-approved ways Americans can hold physical gold inside retirement accounts as a diversification tool.
