wtflag : People realize he is only using shooting his month cannon as a negotiation. 50% tariff on EU is stupid and wouldn't happen.

wtflag : SQQ should continue to go up, but prepare exit before 1 June, Trump will likely flip again. 50% is too much to be real.

wtflag : I guess traders think that the uncertainty was more important than the actual bill. The uncertainty is cleared now, while the bill's effects will take some time to be felt.

wtflag Beebee823 : Usually Bitcoin follows Nasdaq. Which means they move in opposite to Gold.
But whenever Bonds get sold off, Bitcoin becomes safe-haven and the move together with Gold.
We start observing this during Liberation Day when stock, bonds and dollar fall while gold and btc rise. And again after US/China talk when stock, bond and dollar rally while gold and btc fall.

wtflag : Circuit breaker will be triggered before that. But theory yes.

wtflag : This will gap down today as BTC is at ATH. Suggest to play this stock only when it hits ATL. This stock is very scary , SQQQ or TQQQ is much easier to play.

wtflag : There are no bombshell news to come to crush the bull’s spirit yet. So i think we will switch back to bullish on QQQ in a couple of days. The time for SQQQ to go to 40 should be within a couple of months. One of these events should do it:
1. Trump sends his letters with those super high tariff rates to major economies. (couple of weeks)
2. Fed has to backstop the 7T debt due for renewal by end June as there are no buyers
3. Poor Q2 earnings call from Mag7 (late july)
4. Q2 GDP negative, unemployment spike, official recession (aug)

wtflag John Constantine : Actually BTC now acts like a safe haven asset  whenever the Bond market is in trouble. So BTC at ATH is bearish for bonds and stocks.

wtflag : Trump’s bill increases deficit spending. So it will be good for Gold and BTC. On the other hand, bond yields will rise as lenders will demand a higher yield, this will make cost of borrowing incraese and is a negative on stocks.

wtflag : “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.”
When something appears to break the pattern, it’s not because the event is truly unique—because in truth, there are no unique events. The anomaly only exists because we haven’t scaled the timeline far enough to recognize the pattern it belongs to.
I’m no scholar of such matters, but I suspect there are valuable insights—and unsettling parallels—to be found in the study of past civilizations as they faded from positions of dominance.
