While the overall setup remains bearish, the low volume observed on the zoomed-in daily chart despite the significant sell-off raises an interesting question: is the selling pressure becoming exhausted?Image2. $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ In case of a temporary spike tomorrow morning, be mindful of $432.9 as a critical level; because if it is lost, or continues as resistance, $421 is the next destination.

Profit from Time Decay in Choppy Market! Would You Try Iron Condor?
In a market that can’t seem to make up its mind—bouncing up one day and down the next—many traders look beyond traditional buy-and-hold strategies for ways to profit from stability rather than direction. One such strategy is the Iron Condor, a popular options setup designed specifically for sideways or low-volatility markets. What’s an Iron Condor? Think of it as a strategy built on the idea that nothing much will happen—and you’ll get paid if that holds true. An Iron Condor involves selling both a call spread and a put spread on the same underlying asset with the same expiration date. This creates a range in which you expect the price to remain. Your maximum profit is realized if the asset price stays between the inner strike prices of the spreads until expiration, while your maximum loss

Before the market opened today, $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ and $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ both dropped around 3%. Amid the cries and panic sweeping the market, a group of “contrarian” investors emerged — and surprisingly, they’re thanking Trump?The reason is simple: every time Trump imposes new tariffs, the US stock market takes a hit — and every dip becomes a discount for long-term investors to load up on quality assets.Buying more as prices fall — is it madness or wisdom?Lately, you've probably seen plenty of bear market warnings:US economist Harry Dent predicts that the market could crash by 30%-50% in the summer of 2025.

$S&P 500(.SPX)$$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ The Legal, Economic, and Political Stakes of Undermining the Federal Reserve’s Independence As the 2024 election cycle intensifies, former President Donald Trump has reignited his feud with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Trump has openly criticized Powell’s handling of monetary policy, particularly over interest rate decisions, and has once again floated the idea of firing him should he return to office. This hypothetical scenario — the removal of a sitting Fed Chair — would not only test the legal framework surrounding the central bank’s independence but could also rattle global markets and shake investor confidence in the stability of U.S. institutions.
