Trump Just Crashed the Markets
What just happened?
Hey Mate,
We need to talk about what just happened.
Trump just announced a 10% universal tariff on all imports.
And the markets… panicked.
I’m talking:
S&P down nearly 6%
Dow down over 3,900 points
Over $6.6 trillion wiped off the markets in 48 hours
FTSE, Nikkei, and global indices in freefall
Traders are calling it a Black Monday 2.0.
But here’s the thing…
This didn’t come out of nowhere.
Trump's been hinting at this for months.
He’s gone full protectionist—targeting China, Japan, Europe, even Vietnam.
And now?
Wall Street’s shaken.
Retail traders are panicking.
And volatility is through the roof.
What This Means For You
If you’re trying to trade in this environment:
📌 Expect huge moves
📌 Expect minimal retracements
📌 Expect increased volatility
You need to be extra careful in these conditions.
If you see your entry, take it.
And don’t do anything stupid. Remember—markets don’t move in straight lines.
I’ll keep it real with you
Most people are going to blow their accounts this week.
They’ll overtrade, revenge trade, and gamble trying to “catch” the moves.
But not you.
You’ve got an edge.
And now’s the time to use it.
Final Thoughts
There are weeks when trading is calm and boring.
This isn’t one of them.
This is the week where smart traders can 2x their account—or blow it.
Stay patient.
Wait for sweeps.
Trade the edge.
And remember: the market rewards discipline, not panic.
Let’s make this week count.
Until next time,
Atif
