What a brutal day in the stock market on the Trump Tariffs. Trump tariffs announcements triggered widespread panic, sending stocks tumbling. Days like these aren't pleasant, but they're part of the market’s natural cycle—and as traders, we need clear, disciplined strategies to navigate them.
Today, we saw textbook bear-market behavior: gap down, follow-through selling, midday squeeze, and then a late-day fade. This volatility isn't going away soon, so let's break down exactly how we trade this:
Key Market Levels & Game Plan:
- Scenario 1 (Gap Up): If markets gap up slightly tomorrow, I'll look to fade the spike, targeting key support levels lower.
- Scenario 2 (Moderate Gap Down): If markets gap down moderately, I'll initially play for a bounce back up into resistance, then fade later.
- Scenario 3 (Extreme Gap Down): A significant gap-down near major supports likely sets up a strong counter-trend bounce—I'll look to go long carefully.
Top Stocks & Setups for Tomorrow:
- Tesla (TSLA): Watch for gaps. A slight bounce could provide excellent short entries.
- Meta Platforms (META): Breaking key support—look to short spikes.
- MicroStrategy (MSTR): On the verge of a major breakdown linked to Bitcoin—prime short candidate.
- NVIDIA (NVDA) & Taiwan Semi (TSM): Semiconductor stocks are vulnerable due to tariffs—prime targets for breakdown plays.
In bear markets, it’s crucial not to chase. Wait for setups, manage risk carefully, and reduce position sizes due to increased volatility.
Feeling uncertain or overwhelmed? It's perfectly fine to sit out and wait for clearer conditions. Protect your capital—there’s always another trade around the corner. This Trump Tariffs thing is most likely just the "thing" people focus on. In reality the markets have been on a hell of a run the last 5 years up over 100% these cycles come no matter what. They dont last long. Dont fret just keep your cool trade small trade fast. We had a heck of the day in the chatroom but even myself I coudnt bare to hold more then 20-30 minutes on most trades. Take your gains wait for a better day my friends.
