Are You Ready? The Market Shift You Need to Know About

Boy, do I have an update for you guys. What's going on, guys? It's Ricky with Tech Solutions here with a super quick market update. Let's go ahead and jump right into it. So, if you guys have not seen, um, I'm going to quickly talk about one of Trump's latest updates. Again, I will be criticizing and I'm going to be very critical. Uh, if you get offended by me being critical to Trump, then maybe you don't want to watch this video, right? Uh, but there's a reason behind it and I hope that you can kind of like watch to the very end of the video. With that being said, I want to disclose the current position that I have right now. I am actively shorting Micron intraday. I don't plan to carry this short over the weekend. I'm going to keep my LPP team up to date, but as of right now, again, in the live session that we hosted this morning, they got to see me short Micron as it was actively selling off. Now, it has began to consolidate, show some signs of a support, but it's approaching a common resistance range. So, I opened up a short position and then I'll add more to it if it continues to sell off. It looks like chip stocks or at least memory chip stocks are a little bit weaker than the NASDAQ market today. I'm up about $4,100 on the day so far and that is with Micron. NASDAQ market is still up.34% in the green. Not too sure what the market is celebrating uh to to still be in the green when there's so much uncertainty and we'll talk about that in just a little bit. NASDAQ market in my opinion is holding on holding on by a hair, right? It's consolidating. It's really trying to prop itself up. If you zoom out, oh, excuse me, I just ate a granola bar and I'm joking. But, um, you can see that the overall NASDAQ market on the 4hour time frame is still still has a really strong support right around 707 to 708 on the 4 hour time frame, right around the moving average. If we break below that, that's where we can really begin to see the selling pressure. So, I did do I think that that's going to happen today? No. I really do think that if escalations continue, they'll happen over the weekend and then Trump will try to come in Sunday night or Monday morning and say that there's nothing to worry about. Uh with that being said, if you're willing to take the risk, that's on you. But markets are more bullish than they are bearish, right? Especially lately, markets are elevated, but they have decent gap down potential. More gap down potential than gap up, right? Based off of previous highs and previous lows, there's a lot more selling pressure than there are there is upside potential. But again, markets are remaining elevated. So, let's go ahead and jump right into it. So, the thing that I quickly want to talk about first is the update that we received from Trump. The reason I want to be critical with this is because it literally contradicts everything that he said about tariffs before. It says, "Breaking, Trump announces a deal to sell 300,000 pounds of beef at a 25% discount to market price as beef price hits a record high." I want to explain this to you very quickly. Right? If you read the actual tweet, what he's saying is, "As we work to rebuild this herd and help our ranchers, for the next 90 days, the United States will allow up to 300,000 metric tons of product for grown beef to be imported with no out of quota tariff. We have a commitment that this beef will be sold at a 25% below current market price. The part that doesn't make sense to me is Trump has claimed that these tariffs don't cost consumers more. But now he is stating that he will now remove any tariffs on beef to be imported 300,000 metric tons and now it will be cheaper because it doesn't have these tariffs. So what is it right? We all know because we all understand simple just economics. When you slap a tariff on anything, it is always passed down to the consumer. He's obviously ignored it in the past before. Now he is contradicting himself. Now he is saying we are going to allow this and it's actually going to be cheaper because we're removing this 25% tariff. Again, I am being critical. You're right. It's probably not a big deal, but it's just another reminder, right? We like to talk about the good, we like to talk about the bad. This is another red flag of again he contradicts what he says just to sway the general public. Don't fall for the BS. Read between the lines. Right? You can't say one thing without the other. You can't claim that tariffs do not cause higher prices for consumers but then say removing tariffs cause a discount for consumers. It just doesn't add up. But again, that is the most recent update. Again, some of you guys might not like this take, but it says, "Now the Trump administration has panicked by announcing Treasury bailout." As many of you guys saw a few days ago, Treasury Secretary Bessnik came in and instead of a $2 billion bailout, it was 4 billion. Now, they saw that it didn't work. Now, they're saying that they could offer possibly more. Right. Investors who hadn't yet realized there was a problem will get the message and start selling. If Bessinet thought we had a bond market problem before, sounding the alarm made the problem much worse. Again, you don't have to agree. It's just his opinion, but you having just common sense. Trump and the Trump administration have claimed that we have a thriving economy. Why would they have to double the bailout from two billion to 4 billion if we are doing so well? The red flags are presenting themselves. They they sounded the red flags with this aggressive bailout and it didn't work. The 10-year Treasury when it was announced was at what was it? 4.68%. It it sold off a little bit and then 24 hours later ended up being at 4.71. Exceeded the previous levels and went back to previous highs. Again, that is the yield that the US government will pay on money that it borrows. There's obvious signs of uncertainty. This isn't to concern you to the point where you sell everything. It's just to remind you that at elevated levels, as NASDAQ and a lot of the markets are trading close to all-time highs, maybe it's not the best idea to be very aggressive. Maybe it's an okay idea to have cash on the sidelines in case things do get worse that you can tolerate the time that it might take for markets to recover. Another thing, again, not a conspiracy, I would encourage you to look into it. Why are huge credit card companies reducing limits for people with great credit? Why are they going from $250,000 credit limits down to $150,000? Why are they adding credit limits to people they never had credit limits before? Again, if the signs, these red flags are presenting themselves, they're for a reason. These banks and these institutions are creating safeguards to not incur enough debt that if things do get worse that again the default rate ends up being much more excessive than they could have prepared for. You can see the market beginning to shift. You can see the uncertainty beginning to present itself. You don't get scared. You just prepare. We cannot predict the future. We don't know if this is going to happen in a few weeks and or in a few months. So, it still makes sense to be invested long-term. As we've all seen, markets are more bullish than bearish, but you would be a you would be very naive to use leverage at these overbought levels because leverage is a terrible thing when it turns against you. Talking about leverage, let's talk about Leopold. Ken Griffin and Citadel sold most of the stock that it bought from the collapse of Leopold. Remember, he used Forex leverage. He got too greedy at overbought levels. What is one thing that we can all learn from this? First, don't use leverage at overbought levels. Very simple. Leopold has acknowledged this with his fund for situational awareness. But the other thing that I kind of, you know, begin to kind of ask myself is why is Ken Griffin from Citadel Securities say that they're able to sell or they were able to sell 80% of the risk they bought from Liupold? Why are they selling some of the best performing assets of 2026? Do they see something coming in the up and coming future? Why are they choosing to derisk? Was it just too an aggressive position too early on where there could be some slight uncertainty or is it the idea of what the Feds have been hinting on? Right, the Federal Reserve hinting that there could be an up andcoming rate hike because inflation is rising and that is a pressing concern. Is that what the bond market is telling us? Right. The last thing that I want to talk about and again this is just my opinion. Bitcoin has recently gapped up. Congrats to all those that were actually able to take advantage of those oversold levels. Remember, I'm not a big believer in Bitcoin, but I believe in anyone's right to invest or trade Bitcoin if that's what your heart desires. With that being said, a lot of these companies, not Coin, this was just a post and I wanted to share it. MSTR, MARA, and BMNR, one of the some of the worst performing stocks of 2026 and 2025 are pumping right now. And in just the past two days, they're up 20 30%. For me, it's not I'm not saying right now that these are at the top of my watch list for potential opportunities that I want to look into shorting. I just wanted to do my part in keeping you guys up to date. To me, I see them as huge overbought setups. I want to use MSTR as an example. This is my opinion. I don't want you to copy me. Again, I just like sharing my thoughts with you guys. But MSTR has recently gapped up. It went from trading at lows of 90, recently pushed up to highs of 127, and now beginning to show slight signs of a resistance and possibly pulling on back. This is at the top of my watch list for a potential setup to start shorting. I'll do my part in keeping you guys up to date. And like I said, we trade live every morning. If you ever want to tune on in, you can even re-watch today's live session. It's going to be the second link in the description down below if you want to take advantage of the current sale that we have going on. And yes, it's a onetime payment for lifetime access.

Other than that, you can enroll now. Take time over the weekend, review the lesson library, and then right at market open on Monday, you can start watching us trade live with the LVP team. So again, I'll do my part in keeping you guys up to date. My only current open position as of right now is Micron. I see a slight little resistance forming just based off previous patterns. And if it produces another leg down, I'll be up five, maybe sixk on the day. And I'll do my part in keeping you guys up to date if you're part of our LPP team. So, I appreciate guys' time. You guys let me know down in the comments section what you think. I hope that it earned a thumbs up. Please consider subscribing.
