QQQ Reversal Signals Strength As Client Rebounds To 70% Return
Hey Options Trader,
This week brought a shift in tone that I’ve been waiting for. Despite heavy bearish news and a sharp gap down, buyers stepped in aggressively and completely changed the narrative intraday. We’re starting to see early signs of strength that could signal a broader recovery if this continues. There are still key catalysts ahead, but the way price reacted this week tells us a lot about underlying demand. I’ll walk you through what I’m seeing, highlight a powerful client story, and share a high-probability trade setup.
Here’s what we are covering:

Market Snapshot
My outlook has shifted bullish after a very strong reaction to what should have been bearish news. Following President Trump’s speech, markets gapped down sharply as oil spiked above $110 and uncertainty around the Iran situation increased. However, that weakness was immediately met with aggressive buying, completely reversing the day and pushing markets green.
$SPY ( ▲ 0.09% ) dropped near the 640 level, broke below 650, and then reclaimed 655 into the close, finishing near the mid Bollinger Band. We also saw a bullish MACD crossover, which is something we have not seen throughout this entire pullback. The $VIX ( ▼ 2.73% ) dropped significantly from near 28 down to 23.87, showing a major shift in fear. If we continue to see morning weakness get bought up, that will be very constructive for a sustained recovery. Any positive developments around the war or reopening of the Strait of Hormuz would act as strong catalysts. We are also seeing increased call buying activity across multiple names, including $TQQQ ( ▲ 0.23% ) , which signals growing institutional confidence. The fear and greed index has moved back toward neutral after being at extreme fear, another sign that sentiment is stabilizing.

Client Spotlight
This week I want to highlight Mike. He experienced a seven-figure loss earlier in his journey, but stayed committed, refined his strategy, and is now a full-time options trader. In 2025 alone, he generated a 70 percent return on his portfolio.
We are also seeing strong consistency across the community, with John posting a $52,000 profit and Som closing out a $253,000 gain in March. This is what disciplined execution over time looks like.
Free Trade of the Week
Ticker: $GLW ( ▲ 3.89% )
Strategy: Sell the May 1st 125 strike cash secured put
Premium Collected: $385
Duration: 28 days
ROI: 3.18%
Annualized Return (compounded monthly): ~50.4%
Risk: Assignment at $125, which aligns near the lower Bollinger Band and a key support level
GLW is a high-quality company with a strong moat, supplying glass for iPhones and fiber optics for AI data centers. With partnerships tied to major players like Meta, Google, and AMD, there is strong long-term demand tailwind. At these levels, I’m comfortable owning shares if assigned while collecting strong premium upfront.

Your Retirement Savings Need to Outlast You
Most retirement plans underestimate two things: how long your savings need to last, and how quietly inflation erodes them along the way.
The 15-Minute Retirement Plan helps you close both gaps with practical guidance on longevity risk, purchasing power, and building a financial plan that doesn't run out before you do.
