CoreWeave stock edges higher as new lawsuit filing and insider sale notice hit tape

CoreWeave stock edges higher as new lawsuit filing and insider sale notice hit tape

New York, Jan 22, 2026, 11:36 a.m. ET — Regular session CoreWeave shares edged up roughly 1% to $95.04 on Thursday, bouncing between $93.30 and $99.20 during the session. Investors digested new legal developments alongside a recent filing hinting at possible insider selling. These moves are crucial given CoreWeave’s volatile intraday swings this week.

AppLovin stock falls again after short-seller report; APP investors eye Feb. 11 earnings

New York, January 22, 2026, 10:57 EST — Regular session Shares of AppLovin Corp (APP.O) slipped roughly 2.6% to $518.98 by 10:57 a.m. EST Thursday, deepening their retreat after a short-seller report claimed the mobile ad company was involved in money laundering. The decline is significant since short-seller attacks can swiftly drain liquidity from momentum stocks, pushing investors to factor in legal and compliance risks—even if the claims remain contested. It arrives right before AppLovin’s upcoming earnings report, pushing traders to focus more on controls and customer screening than on growth numbers alone. CapitalWatch labeled AppLovin a “safe haven” for

New York, Jan 22, 2026, 10:44 EST — Regular session Bitcoin dipped under $90,000 on Thursday, pressured by ongoing outflows from U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs. The top cryptocurrency traded around $88,868, down 1.2%, by mid-morning in New York, within a session range of $87,304 to $90,281. This shift is significant as ETF flows have become a near-daily gauge of institutional appetite for bitcoin. Traders are also recalibrating their bets on U.S. interest rates, with crypto behaving more like a macro asset, reacting sharply to moves in the dollar and yields. U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs posted net outflows of roughly $708.7

Gold price wobbles near $4,850 after Trump cools tariff talk as Fed inflation gauge hits 2.8%

New York, January 22, 2026, 10:20 EST — Regular session Gold prices hovered close to record highs on Thursday following an early dip, with investors balancing easing tariff concerns against new U.S. inflation data. This is key since gold’s climb to repeated highs has been fueled as much by politics and trade news as by interest-rate expectations. With the metal pricey and positioning crowded, even minor changes in risk sentiment are shaking up prices fast. Gold’s rally is reflected in the paper market as well. SPDR Gold Shares, the biggest U.S.-listed gold-backed ETF, climbed roughly 0.4% to $445.2 in late-morning
