Thr market is Trumpatised! 

As the trading day drew to a close on Friday  the market continued to slide lower, teetering uneasily like a rider at the edge of the world’s biggest water slide—holding on, but barely. Volatility remains the name of the game, and investors are left wondering if the next drop will be sudden or slow and grinding. The NASDAQ has now officially entered bear market territory, a milestone that’s as ominous as it is unsurprising given recent trends. Its popular proxy, the QQQ ETF, is also firmly in the red, mirroring the downward spiral with uncanny precision.

But this isn’t just about charts or technicals anymore—there’s a much larger beast looming in the background. The threat of a trade war is no longer just a speculative headline or political talking point. It’s real. And while some smaller nations remain open to negotiation and eager to align with U.S. interests, the danger lies with the economic powerhouses. It takes only one or two major players—China, the EU, or others—to retaliate, and the ripple effect could easily destabilize the global economy. Economic tit-for-tats rarely end with winners, and history shows that uncertainty and fear tend to drag markets deeper into the abyss.

Looking ahead, the upcoming week could be pivotal. It’s shaping up to be a true make-or-break moment for the markets… as if they’re not already broken. All eyes will be on the Trump, geopolitical developments, and some key earnings reports.

Investors would be wise to buckle up. The ride isn’t over—and the next turn could be sharper than expected.
