In partnership with

Hey Options Trader,

Today’s open was not pretty in the markets. Nasdaq blew past support at $466 straight down to $457. Some of the Magnificent 7 stocks saw new yearly lows. Will the pain ever end?

Here’s what we are covering:

1. $QQQ ( ▼ 5.35% ) and $VIX ( ▲ 39.56% ) - The Line In The Sand

QQQ and VIX - The Line In The Sand

While QQQ opened up very ugly down over -2%, we actually closed completely flat above the $466 line in the sand.

The markets are at a standstill as investors don’t know what to expect from the April 2nd tariffs. We already expect them to be bad, that’s why the market has reacted the way it did. Could they be way worse?

I don’t think so.

I think there is a higher probability that any positive piece of news, or even less negative news, on April 2nd that comes out will give institutions a reason to load up the boats again. We were down -15% today on the Nasdaq 100. CNBC and every other news outlet is making it seem like the end of the world is coming because of tariffs and that inflation is going through the roof.

Keep in mind, the actual inflation numbers came in at 2.9% last month, near the Federal Reserves 2% target. We were at 9% in June of 2022.

There is also 2 more expected rate cuts coming this year.

GDP growth was 2.4% reported on March 27th.

Sometimes we need to zoom out to see the big picture. Yes, short term inflation via tariffs could shake up the economy a bit, but not to the magnitude we saw in 2021 when 16 Trillion dollars were printed and given to the people to gamble on meme coins and doordash meals.

I may sound extremely bullish here, but I’m actually just playing the contrarian stance, which is what options trading (selling options) is all about.

VIX is at 22 and I think we don’t see much of a change going into tomorrow, until the news on April 2nd is out.

Another surprise today was the comeback rally we saw in stocks across the board once we hit new lows. It wasn’t just defense names being bought up, but AAPL, CSCO and AXP.
