5–10% Market Drop Coming? How I’m Preparing For Monday

In partnership with

Hey Options Trader,

The market finally gave us the pullback we’ve been waiting for. $QQQ ( ▼ 3.47% ) closed down 3.5% on the day and another 1% after hours, a healthy reset after weeks of relentless grinding higher. This is the kind of move that clears out weak hands and sets up opportunity for traders who’ve been patient with cash on the sidelines.

Here’s what we are covering:

1. Market snapshot and key QQQ downside targets

2. Client spotlight – Raman’s $40K months and today’s $95K win

3. Bonus resource – My $93K new position and 3 leaps opportunities

Market Snapshot

Right now, I’m cautious but optimistic. We saw the warning signs when $VIX ( ▲ 31.83% ) began creeping higher while QQQ was making new all-time highs. That divergence was the market’s way of hinting that fear was building up under the surface and today we saw that fear release.

This pullback was needed. The market can’t keep climbing forever without a correction. I think a 5–7% drop on QQQ is very possible early next week, with the worst-case scenario being closer to 10%. Anything deeper than that, I don’t expect.

VIX shot up to 21 today, and I’m preparing for a spike to 25 or higher by Monday or Tuesday. That’s where I’ll start deploying more capital into weakness. Currently, I’m sitting at 16% cash. I allocated about $93,000 today into a new stock position nearly 3% of my total portfolio, but I’ve saved another 5–6% to use if we flush further early next week.

If VIX moves above 25, I’m comfortable reducing cash to 8% to take advantage of discounted entries. I still believe this sets us up perfectly for a strong Christmas rally into year-end once the panic fades and institutions reload.

Client Spotlight

This week we’re featuring our client Raman. Before joining the program, he struggled with consistency. Now he’s generating $20,000 to $40,000 months on autopilot using our strategy and even bringing his friends and colleagues into the group.

We also had another client close out $95,000 worth of trades today a reminder that even on red days, you can find green opportunities if you follow the system.
