Applied Digital Breaks Ground on Delta Forge 1, a 430 MW AI Factory Campus in a Southern U.S. State

DALLAS, Jan. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Applied Digital (NASDAQ:APLD), a designer, builder, and operator of high-performance, sustainably engineered data centers and colocation services for artificial intelligence, cloud, networking, and blockchain workloads, announced that it has broken ground on Delta Forge 1, an AI Factory campus located in a strategic southern U.S. market.Delta Forge 1 is designed to support an initial 430 MW of total utility power, enabling up to 300 MW of critical IT load with the ability to scale considerably in 2028 and beyond, translating available power into live, high density AI capacity for hyperscale customers. Purpose-built from the ground up, the campus is engineered to support the power integration, advanced cooling and operational rigor required to run large-scale AI workloads reliably and efficiently.The Delta Forge 1 campus will initially comprise two 150-MW facilities spanning more than 500 acres. Once fully operational, the campus is expected to support more than 200 full-time employees, in addition to long-term contractors, creating durable economic opportunity and long-term investment in the region."Delta Forge 1 represents the next stage of Applied Digital's growth, as we continue to deliver AI infrastructure through disciplined execution," said Wes Cummins, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Applied Digital. "AI Factories succeed or fail based on how effectively power, cooling and operations are integrated. We believe this campus will be built to scale alongside hyperscale demand while delivering operational certainty for customers and lasting value for the communities where we operate."As demand for artificial intelligence accelerates, the limiting factor is now the ability to convert power into operational AI capacity – on schedule and at scale. We believe Applied Digital is addressing this challenge by building AI factories designed for repeatable execution across a growing portfolio of campuses, ensuring consistency as scale increases.Applied Digital is advancing Delta Forge 1 in discussions with another prospective investment-grade hyperscale customer, reflecting strong demand for purpose-built AI ...Full story available on Benzinga.com

Gold Technical Analysis After Trump's Speech at Davos

Video: Gold technical analysis on the 4-hour chartGold prices saw heightened volatility following Donald Trump’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, with risk sentiment briefly shifting toward risk-on after Trump explicitly ruled out the use of military force in the Greenland discussion.This article is a follow-up to our previous gold technical analysis on investingLive, revisiting the same technical structure and explaining why gold’s pullback fits cleanly within a broader bullish framework. You can also see the Nasdaq technical analysis today.Big picture on Nasdaq Technical Analysis Today: the same channel, respected againFrom a technical standpoint, nothing has changed structurally.Gold remains inside the same rising channel previously highlighted, with multiple clean touch points confirming its validity. The internal channel and the key dotted level near 4,760–4,762 remain central to the analysis.Prior analysis referenced 4,760Actual reaction low printed at 4,757.1The deviation was less than 1%, technically negligible relative to the moveThis was a textbook retest, not a breakdown.The 4,760 junction on Nasdaq Futures: a decision point, not a predictionAt the time of the prior article, this area was clearly defined as a junction, meaning:It could trigger profit-takingIt could break higher and trap shortsOr it could briefly dip and then recoverThat is exactly what unfolded.On a lower timeframe, price did reject the level, which allowed for a tactical short trade. That trade was shared in real time on the Investing Live Stocks Telegram channel, where:Partial profits were taken quicklyStops were adjusted to breakevenRisk was neutralized even if the remainder was stoppedThis is a classic example of professional trade management, where execution matters more than direction.The bearish-looking pattern that failed Nasdaq bearsFollowing the initial pullback, price formed a pattern that most participants interpret as bearish. This is important.When a widely watched bearish pattern:Fails to follow throughBreaks to the upside insteadThe result is often accelerated upside, driven by trapped positioning.That is what happened next.Gold surged to 4,891.1, forcing remaining shorts to cover at progressively worse prices.Trump, Greenland, and the risk-on impulseThe next catalyst came from the macro side.When Trump stated he would not use military force regarding Greenland, markets briefly flipped into risk-on mode:Equities pushed higherGold saw a pullbackTechnically, that pullback was near-perfect.The low again tested 4,757Price respected the upper boundary of the channelSubsequent candles showed clean touch points and continuation higherThis is exactly how healthy trends behave.What the price action at Nasdaq futures is signaling nowFrom a technical perspective:The structure remains bullishPullbacks are corrective, not impulsiveBuyers continue to defend the channelIt is entirely possible to see:Another brief retest within the channelAdditional consolidation near resistanceBut based on current price behavior, a retest of all-time highs remains the dominant scenario, unless the channel is decisively broken.Why this matters for Nasdaq traders and investors todayThis move in gold is not about guessing headlines. It is about:Identifying key junctionsWatching price reactionManaging risk dynamicallyGold’s reaction to the Davos headlines did not invalidate the trend. It confirmed it.Today's Nasdaq Futures Key levels to keep in focus4,760–4,762: Major structural support and decision zoneChannel upper boundary: Ongoing resistance and validation area4,891: Recent swing high and reference for continuationGold’s pullback after Trump’s Davos speech was orderly, technical, and constructive. The market respected every major level that mattered, and price action continues to support the bullish structure.As always, these are opinions, not promises. Markets move through reactions at key levels, not certainties.For more updates, charts, and trade management insights, visit investingLive.com.Trade and invest at your own risk.Visit investingLive.com for more about stocks, crypto, forex, commodities, trading and investing education or our onging daily live feed for traders and investors.
