Understand Trump tariff war, Assess if market rebound is likelyIf you want to better understand Trump’s strategy for the tariff war and the underlying intentions—especially to assess whether a rapid market rebound is likely—you may refer to a paper by Trump’s economic advisor Stephen Miran, titled “A User’s Guide to Restructuring the Global Trading System.”
Here’s a brief summary of the key points from the paper regarding the trade war:
1. Market Volatility Is Anticipated
The paper acknowledges that sharply raising tariffs may trigger financial market turbulence, increase uncertainty, lead to rising inflation, potential interest rate hikes, and a stronger U.S. dollar—all of which could cause broader ripple effects. (In other words, the Trump administration is aware that such moves will shake the markets.)
2. Second Term: Focus Shifts to Legacy
While Trump and his team prioritized stock market performance during the first term, in a second term—when re-election is no longer a concern—he may focus more on leaving a political legacy. This includes reshoring manufacturing, tax reform, reducing national debt, and shrinking the trade deficit.
3. Tariffs as a Strategic and Fiscal Tool
This new round of tariffs serves not only as a pressure tactic , but also as a potential revenue source to fund Trump’s desired tax cuts. As such, the Trump administration may not rush to finalize new trade deals. Instead, tariff reductions would likely occur gradually, and only after securing substantial economic benefits.
4. Trade and Security Will Be Linked
Future trade negotiations will likely tie economic cooperation to national security. The U.S. could use a dual standard—“tariffs + security”—to compel other nations to follow U.S.-defined trade and geopolitical rules.
For example: Countries might be forced to join a tariff alliance against China. In exchange for market access, they would either have to tax Chinese goods or accept high U.S. tariffs and reduced security cooperation. For the EU, if it does not meet U.S. demands, tariffs would become a key revenue stream for the U.S., while freeing up American resources to focus on China’s rise rather than spending time and money on European security.
5. Big Picture Strategy: Build a Global “Tariff Wall”
This paper lays out a grand strategy to use tariff warfare to pressure countries into forming a global “tariff wall” encircling China, aimed at constraining China’s economic influence.
Strategic Implications
Based on this approach, the U.S. goal in trade negotiations is not merely tariff reductions or market access, but achieving:
1. Market access for U.S. goods via lowered barriers abroad.
2. Adoption of U.S.-led trade and geopolitical rules, including encircling China and sidelining nations like Iran and Russia.
3. Increased U.S. government revenue— meaning tariffs might persist throughout Trump’s term and not be eliminated outright!
Market Outlook
If the U.S. follows this roadmap, it’s unlikely that a consensus with China or other China-dependent economies (like the EU) will be reached quickly. This suggests that market volatility could persist for some time if these strategies are enacted.
Given the current asset declines showing signs of a liquidity crunch, without a clear positive catalyst (e.g., successful trade deals, tax cuts, or rate cuts), it may be difficult for equities, crypto, or even gold to see a meaningful rebound in the short term.
As markets remain highly sensitive to news, it’s crucial to focus on risk control in trading and consider reducing position sizes when needed.
Let’s keep the discussion going—what do you think about the future direction of U.S. trade policy under Trump?
Market Review: Full Higher Time Frame Review of NASDAQ bear runI hope this get's featured 🎯
The simplest macroeconomic review of NASDAQ you may see this year.
It's all a fib retracement. That's all I have to say for now 🔪 Share this with someone looking for a good review 💰
**Video was cut short by a minute or two but the general idea was complete
NASDAQ New Week Gap will tell you everything you need to knowIf you watched my idea update from Friday, I was saying that the sellside monthly lows as well as the 2023 yearly high are being targeted.
Low and behold, we hit all targets on the weekly gap drop. Let's see how price approaches the new week opening gap mid level (dashed white). It will definitely hit that level before the end of the week.
If it does not, that means we have super easy sellside targets to hit after a clear rejection back below tested highs as always.

NAS100 Weekly Gap: Prime Short Setup or a Trap in Disguise?The weekly gap on NAS100 is lining up as a textbook short target—but will it hold or get steamrolled? While stops beyond the gap offer safer trade placement, downside momentum suggests any pullback may be short-lived. With 16,000 in sight as the next major low, bears have a reason to stay aggressive. Just don’t get caught on the wrong side of a gap fill gone rogue.
NASDAQ Elliott Wave Analysis – Wave 4 Pullback in PlayNASDAQ is currently reacting to a major support zone, aligning with the Elliott Wave structure. Based on this analysis, we are in the midst of a Wave 4 pullback, which is expected to complete soon. Once Wave 4 finds its base, we anticipate a strong impulsive move to the upside—Wave 5—pushing us toward a new all-time high (AHT).

📈 Targeting a continuation toward new highs following the completion of this corrective phase.
NASDAQ: Wave Analysis & Forecast for April-MayHello, traders! Let’s analyze the current wave structure of the NASDAQ index.
At the moment, there is a high probability that the index is forming wave C of a correction. Most likely, this is a horizontal expanded correction.
✅ Sub-wave 1 of wave C has already formed.
✅ Sub-wave 2 is also likely completed.
On Friday, the index showed a strong decline and closed at the day’s lows, indicating a high probability of further downside movement next week.
What’s next?
We expect the formation of the third sub-wave within wave C. Most likely:
🔻 The index will continue to decline toward 17,700, where the 38% Fibonacci level is located.
🔻 The key support zone is 17,300.
🔻 After a short correction, the decline may extend to 16,300.
🔻 In a deeper scenario – down to 15,700-15,000.
Technical factors
⚡ The price failed to break above the 200-day moving average, bounced off it, and started declining.
⚡ The next major support is the 200-week moving average, around 16,200.
⚡ Throughout April – May, the market is likely to remain in a correction phase.
Once key levels are reached, we expect a potential reversal and new highs in the second half of 2025.

Tariff news push down market, V sharp recovery still possibleDisclaimer: The following reflects personal opinions only and does not constitute investment advice. Please exercise your own judgment before making any decisions.
From Monday to Wednesday this week, the Nasdaq experienced a notable rebound, briefly climbing to 19,898 prior to the release of tariff-related news. However, the actual tariff figures and calculation methods far exceeded market expectations, causing a sharp sell-off once the announcement was made. On Friday, markets dropped further after China, the EU, and other countries announced retaliatory tariff measures. The VIX surged to 45.61 on Friday.
On Friday, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell commented that the Fed remains in a wait-and-see mode regarding the future of tariffs. He noted that while tariffs could have short-term inflationary effects, current data shows inflation has significantly declined and the underlying U.S. economy remains strong. While this provided some support to the market, it was not enough to spark a meaningful rebound.
Key market concerns include:
1. Higher tariffs could lead to rising inflation, potentially delaying Fed rate cuts.
3. Tariff hikes and retaliatory measures may negatively impact multinational companies such as Apple and Nike that rely heavily on global markets and supply chains, resulting in lower revenues and increased operational costs.
3. Escalation of the trade war and more retaliatory measures may further dampen sentiment.
In the week ahead, markets will likely remain sensitive to policy developments.
A. If the Trump administration manages to reach agreements with certain countries to lower tariffs in exchange for concessions. Market sentiment could shift quickly, with investors viewing the tariff hike as a negotiation tactic with only short-term implications. - Vshape recovery
B. On the other hand, if the trade war continues to escalate, it would pose a clear negative for the markets.
Another potential headwind is the threat of U.S.-Iran conflict.
The Trump administration has repeatedly warned of possible military action against Iran. If such a conflict breaks out, markets may fear that Iran could block oil and gas shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, pushing up energy prices and triggering a broad risk-off move.
From a technical perspective, the market has broken below the upward trendline that has been in place since 2022, and continued to decline after retesting that level this week. Without a swift rebound, further downside is possible. Key support levels to watch are 16,962, 16,127, and 15,163.
That said, the tariff news has been priced in to some extent, and the VIX has already spiked above 45. The U.S. economy remains fundamentally solid, making it difficult for bearish sentiment to persist over the long term. Given Trump's negotiating style, some positive developments on tariffs are likely in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, the Fed has further reduced its balance sheet runoff in April, with QT now nearing its end.
In my view, short-term bearish sentiment may be near a turning point. There is a high probability of a rebound, but it’s essential to wait for further confirmation — either for negative news to subside or for a technical rebound signal to emerge.
At current levels, shorting the market carries high risk. Unless new negative catalysts or fundamental deterioration arise, I personally would not consider initiating short positions at this time.
Death Cross forming now on NDX weekly chartHi Renny here back with a chart for you guys to check out.
50 dma can be seen to be crossing below the 200 dma.
Look what happened after the last time that happened in 2022...
You would have done well to take money off the table the last time the 50 dma crossed below the 200 dma.
What's your take? Is there more downside from here?
US100 has taken strong support at 17KUS100 has taken strong support at 17K. If it breeaks this support, it will reach to next level of 16 K. After China responded to U.S. tariffs by introducing a 34% tariff on all American imports starting April 10, stock market losses deepened on Friday. This downturn was further triggered by comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, who warned that the impact of a trade war could be more severe than expected. He noted that it could lead to slower economic growth and increased inflation, adding that the Fed is in no rush to cut interest rates in response.
NAS100 Turn of the Month Strategy Meets Market Volatility!In this video, we dive into the Turn of the Month Strategy and explore how it could play out in the current market environment. Historically, mutual funds rebalance their portfolios at the end of the month, creating buying pressure that often leads to higher stock prices into the new month. Additionally, recurring financial inflows, such as monthly salary payments and pension contributions, tend to boost market demand during this period.
However, this month presents a unique challenge. The NASDAQ 100 has capitulated into the end of the month, driven by heightened volatility and uncertainty fueled by Donald Trump's rhetoric. With the market currently trading into a significant support zone and liquidity pool, we analyze whether the Turn of the Month effect can counteract the recent bearish momentum.
📊 Key Highlights in the Video:
Price Action Analysis: The NASDAQ 100 is deeply overextended, trading into a critical liquidity pool.
Trade Idea: A potential counter-trend rally could emerge as the market seeks to correct and rebalance.
Strategy: Look for a short-term rally into resistance, followed by a possible shorting opportunity as the market resumes its downward trend.
This video is perfect for traders looking to combine price action trading with seasonal strategies like the Turn of the Month effect. Will the market rally into the new month, or will bearish momentum prevail? Watch now to find out! 🚀
A BIGGER PICTURE OF US100 SHOWING A BREAKOUT!Take a look at the bigger picture of US100 from the monthly timeframe. We can understand the nature of price action that has occurred.
