I'm sure the talking heads will tell you they predicted this sell-off in the market and warned you about a potential surge in volatility. But where are the receipts? This week, like every other week, I've tried my best to keep you on the right side of the trade. If you missed any of my video breakdowns, this might be a good weekend to review them. The volatility in the market is far from over, and I want you to be prepared for it. Key takeaways from this week: - Volatility has emerged with force: The VIX spiked, nearly hitting 30, signaling intense market uncertainty. - S&P movement: We've seen significant swings, with the S&P dropping over 100 points in a short period. - Bond market signals: There's been a notable "duck and cover" rally in bonds, potentially indicating deeper economic concerns. - Fed watch: Despite recent Fed comments, there's already speculation about potential emergency rate cuts. - Global impact: The Japanese markets have seen a significant downturn, highlighting the global nature of this volatility. - Tech sector vulnerability: Key players like Nvidia, which led the recent bull run, are now facing substantial pullbacks. - Options volume on Friday was a record high - SPX expected move for next week is nearly 138 points Remember, in times of high volatility, it's crucial to stay informed and adapt your strategy accordingly. Don't jump in at the first sign of risk - let this play out a bit. I'm sharing two of my most important videos from this week to help you navigate these turbulent waters. [Game On!
