Market topping! Are you ready?
Occasionally, I will share a video on my YouTube channel that is very similar to the one my subscribers receive (minus the trade alert information, of course!).
I do this because, at the end of the day, I really do want to help as many people as possible be prepared for what may be coming with regard to a market and economic correction.
As to that, here is the afternoon update that I sent to my community after the closing bell today.
“Today, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points to 4.25 or 4.50%, signaling only two potential cuts in 2025 while maintaining a higher inflation outlook and a commitment to quantitative tightening. Stocks fell sharply following the announcement as investors fear inflation and higher rates. I feel this is a little over-reaction in selling, but time will tell.
Let me share my high-level perspective:
While many individuals in this financial industry specialize in one or two areas, I leverage my broader experience to bring deeper and more sound insights into the scary and chaotic markets and try to make investing more of an enjoyable journey and experience. Famous forecasters often rise and fall based on a few lucky calls, but many of you now understand that my focus is on consistent, data-driven decisions to reduce a good portion of fear, stress, and market uncertainty.
So far, we’ve been on the right side of the markets—not by shouting big, bold forecasts and hoping they stick, but by following trends and adjusting as the data evolves. My approach is rooted in understanding the full spectrum of market dynamics—entrepreneurial and business cycles, housing, commodities, currencies, investor psychology, momentum, spending patterns, and even the mindset of CEOs responding to macro events.
Recent Wins:
- QQQ Position: Last week, we locked in 10% gain, reducing market risk as the index inches closer to a major market top. Today, we closed the balance of the position at our protective stop, which made for more profit with our CGS strategy.
- Bitcoin Discretionary Trade: We secured a 40% gain near the highs this week, exiting when our 100% Fibonacci target was reached. Since then, Bitcoin has pulled back nearly 8%. While some people see these moves as random, our technical analysis forecasted this price peak and correction months ago.
Current Positions:
We continue to hold a portion of our S&P 500 position. The trend remains up for now, and today’s drop appears to be more of a news-driven reaction. Markets often see sharp pullbacks as trigger-happy sellers rush to exit at the first hint of weakness. The winner today was the US Dollar, surging higher as expected.
As always, our strategy isn’t about reacting to every headline—it’s about riding the market wave and ignoring the chop. I’ll continue to monitor market conditions closely and adjust as needed, and I will share some interesting charts tomorrow in the morning video analysis.”
