$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ Let’s continue discussing Duan Yongping’s covered call strategy. This strategy is absolutely brilliant. There were a lot of points in yesterday’s article that weren’t fully explained.Market Expectations for Next WeekNext week’s market expectations are similar to this week. Reciprocal tariffs will take effect on April 2, followed by the start of earnings season. This means the market is likely to continue fluctuating next week, just as it has this week.However, unlike the past two weeks, bearish forces will have limited influence, and the volatility will be more straightforward. It won’t be worse than last week.Institutions are selling calls at $122 and $123 while hedging with long calls at $130 and $132. Next week’s strategy and str
The Trumpcession Making A Comeback With 3H: High Inflation, High Debt & High Stock Market
$S&P 500(.SPX)$ Introduction to U.S. Economic Outlook U.S. consumers are becoming increasingly pessimistic as the President of the United States signals that a recession is likely. Market probabilities of a U.S. recession are climbing, with key economic indicators reflecting growing concerns. For instance, five-year U.S. treasuries are now pricing in a 52% chance of a recession within the next year, up from 45% in November. The Russell 2000 Index indicates a 48% chance of recession, while the S&P 500 shows a 22% likelihood. Base metals are also showing a 52% probability of an economic downturn. According to a recent JP Morgan report, the chance of a recession has risen to 40% from 30% at the start of the year, citing concerns that U.S. pol
Market volatility will likely continue with uncertainty around Trump's tariffs and the FOMC decision. With inflation still high and no clear economic weakness, a rate cut seems unlikely. Powell’s speech and the dot plot will shape expectations, but I don’t expect any major bullish surprises. MAG 7 valuations remain elevated, with the S&P 500’s NTM P/E at the 81st percentile. While some big tech stocks have pulled back, weak earnings growth expectations make current prices hard to justify. I’d prefer to wait for better entry points rather than chasing the dip too early. Given the uncertainty, I’m staying cautious and watching for a deeper correction. If valuations compress further, stronger buying opportunities could emerge. For now, I’m focusing on macroeconomic trends and the Fed’s ou

Right now in the US, if there is anyone who is capable of restoring calm to the market, it is definitely not US president nor the Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent but Fed chair - Jerome Powell. (see below) It is evident that when Mr Powell started speaking at the post FOMC press conference at 2pm US EDT, the S&P 500 index began to recover. (see above) In fact, stocks across all 3 indexes rallied on Wednesday; despite the Fed’s decision to keep interest rate status quo as predicted by CME Fedwatch tool and Wall Street. The S&P 500 clawed back more of the rout since late February 2025; one that took the benchmark briefly into correction territory. By market closing time: DJIA: +0.92% (+383.32 to 41,964.63). S&P 500: +1.08% (+60.63 to 5,675.29). Nasdaq: +1.41% (+246.67 to 17,750.
At the beginning of 02 Jan 2025, I have posted about gold being a viable investment option. (click here !for details) Fast forward 2 months later, gold’s price has broken through the $3,000 per ounce ceiling. (see above) And it is poised to rise even further, thanks to Trump’s incessant use of tariffs that caused wild swings in the US market. The US economy looks poised to slip into recession with US Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent no longer denying the fallout from US tariffs rollout. (see above) This is in sharp contrast to initial denial (again by Bessent) that Trump’s tariffs will not lead to inflation rising again and more likely than not
Is the US really heading into a recession? How Much US Stock Will Crash 30-40% Or Bull Will Back?
$S&P 500(.SPX)$$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ The Struggling US Economy In August of last year, global markets—especially in the US—unexpectedly plummeted. This was long before Trump's tariff wars or China’s economic troubles, and it was largely due to the unwinding of the Yen carry trade. As Japanese interest rates began to rise and the Yen strengthened against the dollar, it triggered a massive sell-off in US stocks. At the height of this decline, US stocks fell by more than 8.5%, with over half of the drop coming from the top seven tech stocks, often referred to as "The Magnificent Seven." This was a sudden shock that caught everyone off guard, especially during a period when the US economy appeared to be thriv
$NetApp(NTAP)$ NetApp recently released its quarterly results, and as a major player in the storage industry, it's drawing attention. While the stock is indeed moving, it's not in the direction investors hoped for. Despite this, NetApp remains one of the 50 most significant companies in the technology sector. Wall Street’s focus tends to be on whether a company beats or misses earnings expectations, and unfortunately, NetApp missed this time, which likely contributed to the stock’s drop. However, when we dig deeper into the company’s performance, there are more significant underlying challenges, particularly related to growth. In an era where IT budgets and AI spending are booming, NetApp’s role in this landscape—specifically in storage—becomes a

Dissect What It Mean When T-Word "Transitory" Reappears After Absence Since 2021
We saw how the bulls was getting a small bounce in the early afternoon after the FOMC meeting when Fed Chair Powell used the infamous T-word the “transitory” word which he has not used in a few years since 2021. The last time the word was used is when Transitory inflation is a term that was widely used in 2021 by Federal Reserve and Biden administration officials to describe higher-than-normal prices. But this time Fed Chair used it when mentioning that the impact of potential tariffs and economic uncertainty as a result of those tariffs may just be transitory. In this article, I would like to look at how rotation have moved, also a recap of what exactly was said during the FOMC meeting, what was Fed Chair Powell trying to say to us, and most importantly, want to understand why traders wer
