Bryan Bottarelli, Head Trade Tactician, Monument Traders Alliance Dear Reader, It's Labor Day and the markets are closed, so I wanted to use the extra time to warn you about an urgent situation that we're dealing with... We're getting very close to a market breaking point - and it's critical that you're prepared for when that day comes. Yes, that's quite a bold statement - one that I do not take lightly. I've actively traded the markets for nearly half my life... I take the markets very seriously. Sharing my best money-making ideas with my loyal followers is what gets me out of bed every single morning. It both motivates & challenges me to be my very best trader every single day. And, I have to tell you... In all my years of trading, never have I seen a situation playing out like the one we're seeing right now with the Fed and the sitting President. Am I concerned? Troubled? Bothered? You're damn right I am. Forget about whose political side you're on. Instead, let's look at the facts. On the CBOE floor, they say that a warning bell will never tell you when the market has hit a top - or has hit a bottom. But to me, what we're seeing play out at the highest levels of government are the closest thing you'll ever see to a clear-cut warning sign that a market after-shock is about to hit - and hit hard. Prepare RIGHT NOW for the Coming Market Aftershock If you feel that the markets are approaching a breaking point.... Then please - take what I'm about to tell you to heart... And by all means, realize that I'm not trying to alarm you - but rather - my intention is to prepare you for the coming aftershocks in a way that'll actually make you money (as opposed to getting punched in the face the day that the markets crash). To fully explain why I'm so concerned, I'll ask you to revert to your immature, 8th grade mindset to break it all down... It all started on July 1st, when Fed Chief Jerome Powell stuck to 'wait and see' approach when it came to interest rates - saying that the central bank will keep its key rate on hold while it waits to see how President Donald Trump's tariffs effect the economy. Quite honestly, this was a very reasonable position. He didn't say no to cuts in 2025, but he wanted to proceed with caution. After all, the Trump tariffs were a truly unprecedented global event - which needed time to get a gauge of their full impact. But, as you can imagine, Trump was not happy about this decision - and so - he went on the attack. In response to the Fed decision on July 1st, Trump posted that JPow is "a political hack, he's not a smart guy". Making matters worse, JPow also said that without tariffs, the Fed would probably be cutting its key rate right now. To me, this is the comment that turned the pouting into the beginning stages of civil war. A few weeks later, on July 25th, the two bickered like 8-year-olds while cameras were rolling over the cost of Fed building renovations. That's when Trump ramped up his criticism, saying... If Powell doesn't "substantially" lower rates, Trump said, "THE BOARD SHOULD ASSUME CONTROL, AND DO WHAT EVERYONE KNOWS HAS TO BE DONE!" |
