Your hyper perceptive sharp trader headset is perfect for this crazy market where everything can assume a completely different shape from one hour to the next. Making a small controlled trade
is risky enough. Making a big bet on a long term trend is very risky right now.
There’s no clear moral to the story—just scattered chapters of price action that refuse to link together. Maybe that’s fitting for a market that hasn’t strung together two back-to-back weeks in the same direction for over two months. The tone is reactive, not directional. Meanwhile, the weekend press is pumping out red-alert headlines on the ballooning budget deficit, the legal minefield that is Section 899, and a “beautiful” tax bill that looks more like fiscal arson wrapped in campaign glitter. Against that backdrop, I’ve shifted out of my usual 4–8 week hold strategy and into a tighter 24–48 hour blast-zone radius. It’s not my natural habitat, but when the market turns into a headline minefield and the tape trades like a mood swing, you play defense with speed—not conviction.
