Happy Friday - It's public holiday for most people around world 😎

Markets may be closed today, but the chaos started early.

Powell dropped his harshest economic warning yet — and boom, the Dow dumped 500+ points yesterday like it had Easter weekend plans too.

But don’t count the bulls out…

US futures popped back, the Nasdaq’s flashing green, and AI stocks are clawing their way up after Wednesday’s bloodbath.

Even Bitcoin’s flashing a bullish signal, eyeing that 90K breakout like it's already summer.

Over in Big Tech, it’s shaky.

Netflix is grabbing attention ahead of earnings, while Nvidia and AMD try to bounce back from China export drama.

Speaking of China - brace yourself - Chinese markets are hiking prices, and that discount Shein or Temu order might cost you more real soon.

Oh, and gold?

Still dramatic.

Popped, dipped, and now teasing another surprise.

Get ready. 

It’s the kind of Friday where everything moves, and nothing’s guaranteed but the weekend.

🟡 Gold Hits New High - Then Slips as Traders Cash In
Gold hit a record $3,357.40 an ounce—but didn’t stay there long. Geopolitical chaos and tariff drama sparked a surge, but profit-hungry traders couldn’t resist cashing out.

🛢️ Oil Rises as Sanctions Hit Iran
Much of the recent selling pressure… related to fears of an imminent flood of U.S. oil. But surprise - refining bottlenecks and new U.S. sanctions just flipped the script.

Market Closed – No Recommendations Today

Most think trading is just numbers and charts.

Click some buttons.

Make some money.

Repeat.

But real traders know the truth - it’s a war waged in silence.

One where you give up sleep, skip parties, and grow distant from the people who don’t get it.

You sit alone with your charts while your doubts scream louder than price alerts.

One day you’re a genius, the next you’re questioning your entire existence.

But you stay in the fight.

And slowly, the chaos becomes clarity.

Not because the market changed.

But because you did.

This isn’t just about trading skill - it’s about emotional survival.

And if you’re still here, still growing?

You’re already winning.
