Fear Faded Fast, QQQ Rebounds and Raman’s Six-Figure Transformation

In partnership with

Hey Options Trader,

This week’s update is all about momentum returning faster than expected and how we’re positioning around it. Several of our names staged strong rebounds, fear cooled off meaningfully, and opportunity showed up quickly for disciplined traders. I’ll walk you through where I see the market heading next, how I’m adjusting cash levels, and a gold and silver income trade I really like right now. We’ll also spotlight a long-time client who built real consistency after adopting a system.

Here’s what we are covering:

1. My bullish market outlook for the week

2. Client Spotlight

3. Free Trade of the Week

4. Bonus resource video

Market Snapshot

My outlook for the week is bullish. I did not expect this strong of a comeback across many of our stocks, with names like IREN up over 10% on the day and Palantir also having a very strong session.

On $QQQ ( ▼ 0.59% ) , I believe we can push toward the 630 area over the next week or two, though I do not expect all-time highs this month. The $VIX ( ▲ 11.27% ) is sitting in the 17s, and if it breaks down below 16.5 and heads into the 15s, we can expect fear to dissipate significantly.

The main catalyst to watch is Wednesday’s unemployment report, which could spark a more dovish tone from the Fed and bring rate cut expectations forward to April. From a positioning standpoint, I’m currently around 15% in cash and will begin freeing up capital starting tomorrow to align with my VIX framework, targeting 20 to 25% cash as volatility continues to cool.

Client Spotlight

This week’s spotlight is Raman, a client we interviewed quite a while ago and a very well-known Indian flute player. When Raman first joined the program, he did not have consistency or a structured system to follow, which made results unpredictable. Since committing to a rules-based approach and executing with discipline, he has now generated over six figures in profits and continues to grow with confidence and clarity.

In addition to Raman’s progress, today was a strong reminder of what disciplined execution during fear can produce. After last week’s volatility, we saw many clients post profits from cash-secured puts, with multiple members closing trades over $2,000, $1,400, and even $3,000 in a single day. That is the power of staying patient and leaning into opportunity when others hesitate.

Free Trade of the Week

Ticker: $CDE ( ▼ 0.41% )  
Strategy: Sell the March 13 $19 strike cash-secured put
Premium Collected: $80
Duration: 32 days
ROI: 4.21%
Annualized Return (compounded monthly): approximately 64%
Risk: If assigned, shares would be purchased at $19. Earnings are upcoming, which adds short-term volatility risk, but assignment would be at a technically favorable level.

I like Coeur Mining at these levels because price is trading near the lower Bollinger Band, offering a favorable entry if assigned. While there is some earnings-related risk, the longer-term backdrop for gold and silver remains strong as central banks continue increasing precious metals exposure. This trade offers solid income while positioning in a strong gold and silver proxy.
