Shutdown Over, CPI Tomorrow... Here’s My Next Big Move
Hey Options Trader,
Big week ahead. The government shutdown officially ended, CPI data hits tomorrow, and QQQ is sitting right at the edge of a potential breakout or short-term dip. I’ll walk you through what I’m watching, the safest income trade of the week, and a major client win that shows what’s possible with consistency.
Here’s what we are covering:
Market outlook after the shutdown ends
Client Spotlight: Richard’s massive 371K in his first 3 months
Free Trade of the Week: Robinhood
Bonus Resource: The new 72K AI position I added
Market Snapshot
As of an hour ago, President Donald Trump signed the bill officially ending the government shutdown. That’s a positive catalyst heading into CPI data tomorrow.
We had a decent pullback last Friday which gave the bears a chance to take control, but buyers stepped right back in. $QQQ ( ▼ 0.08% ) is trading around 621 and the path from here depends on inflation.
On good CPI data, QQQ could push into the mid 630s.
On bad CPI data, downside targets are 612 and potentially 601.
Either way, dips must be bought. Nothing has changed about the overall trend and buyers continue to defend every major support level.
$VIX ( ▲ 1.33% ) is currently in the 17s. Good CPI data could crush this into the 16s or even the mid 15s. If so, that would set the tone for a strong move higher going into year end.

Client Spotlight
We had the pleasure of interviewing one of our top clients, Richard. In his first three months inside the program, he made $371,000 dollars in profit. He also holds the record for the single largest daily gain inside OTU: $90,000 dollars in one trade.
We also saw multiple client wins today, including a member taking their first ever trade and profit, and another member locking in a $10,000 dollar win on a SoFi LEAPS position.
