Fed Catalyst Week and Shawn’s $874K OTU Profit Journey

Sponsored by

Hey Options Trader,

Markets are starting to show signs of stabilization after last week’s volatility, and I believe we are much closer to a bottom than a top here. With the Fed meeting and core PPI both on deck this week, we should get more clarity on the next directional move while volatility remains elevated. Institutions are already positioning beneath the surface, and we’re seeing strength in select names despite broader uncertainty. In this environment, I’m staying opportunistic, patient, and ready to act on any sharp pullbacks.

Here’s what we are covering:

1. My market outlook for the week

2. Client Spotlight

3. Free Trade of the Week

4. Bonus Resource video and updates

Market Snapshot

My outlook is bullish here. I believe we are much closer to a bottom than a top, especially with the $VIX ( ▼ 0.37% ) sitting near recent highs around 28, which signals elevated fear across the market. We have key catalysts this week with the Fed meeting on Wednesday along with core PPI data, which should help shape sentiment.

$QQQ ( ▼ 0.59% ) is currently sitting around 593, not far from the 600 level, and if negative weekend headlines tied to oil or Iran escalate, we could see a quick flush toward 580, which I would view as a potential bottoming move. Otherwise, we may see some choppy consolidation for another week while geopolitical uncertainty settles.

I’m sitting about 8% in cash right now, ready to deploy into any sharp dip, and my primary focus remains selectively adding LEAPS call options on strong names where institutions continue positioning.

End of day institutional call buying in the millions on QQQ and $SPY. Interesting!

Client Spotlight

This week’s spotlight is Sean, who joined during the tariffs crash last year and has since generated $874,000 in pure profit trading the OTU system. He continues to consistently hit six-figure months while staying disciplined with his 4 to 6% monthly goal even through volatility.

We also saw strong momentum across the community this week, with one client closing out over $15,000 and two others finishing above $8,000 during a very difficult market environment.

Free Trade of the Week

Ticker: $WDC ( ▲ 4.25% )  
Strategy: Sell the April 17th 230 put
Premium Collected: $1,015
Duration: 34 days
ROI: 4.63%
Annualized Return (compounded monthly): 61.6%
Risk: Assignment risk below the 230 level if price breaks support

WDC continues to show relative strength during this pullback and is currently trading near the mid-Bollinger Band level. The company recently authorized a $4 billion share buyback and continues to benefit from strong AI-driven demand for storage, with supply still trailing institutional demand. Overall, this remains one of the stronger technical setups in the portfolio.
