Tariff Shock Hits Stocks

There’s something about a perfectly timed market move that gets our hearts racing.

A whale buys in, Bitcoin spikes, the S&P 500 flips green - and suddenly, we’re glued to the charts, crafting the perfect breakdown.

This week has been rough though: Markets took a hit after Trump dropped 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico while doubling China’s duties to 20%, sparking a sell-off.

Canada fired back with its own tariffs, and China piled on 15% duties on U.S. farm products.

The damage?

The S&P 500 erased all post-election gains, and the Dow slid to a 4-month low.

But is this a true warning sign or just a dip before the rip?

Latest reports say Trump has paused the Canada and Mexico tariffs until April.

Traders aren’t loving the on-again, off-again chaos, but uncertainty is the name of the game - we trade what’s in front of us.

Relative Strength Index (RSI)

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis that measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions in the price of a stock or other asset.  

What to Look For:

• Overbought/Oversold Levels:
  • RSI values above 70 are often considered overbought, suggesting a potential price reversal downwards.
  • RSI values below 30 are often considered oversold, suggesting a potential price reversal upwards.
    
    
• Centerline Crossovers:
  • Crossovers above and below the 50 centerline can indicate shifts in momentum.
    
    
• Divergence:
  • Divergence between the RSI and price action can signal potential trend reversals. For example, if the price is making higher highs, but the RSI is making lower highs, it could indicate a weakening uptrend.  
    
    
• Failure Swings:
  • Failure swings are a type of divergence that can indicate a strong potential reversal.

LOSSES ARE YOUR BEST TEACHERS!

Every trader dreams of winning big, but let’s be real - losing stings. 

You take a few hits, your confidence shakes, and suddenly, quitting seems like the best option. 

But here’s the truth: EVERY great trader has been there. 

The difference? 

They kept going.

Think of trading like hitting the gym. You don’t walk in, lift once, and expect to be ripped. You sweat, struggle, fail - but each rep makes you stronger. 

Trading works the same way. 

Every loss isn’t a sign to quit - it’s a rep in the gym of market mastery.

The traders who make it aren’t the ones who never lose. 

They’re the ones who take the punches, learn from them, and show up again. 

Every trade you take sharpens your skills.

Every mistake teaches you something new. Every loss brings you one step closer to winning.

So don’t let a few red days knock you out of the game. 

Analyze, adjust, and take the next trade. 

Because the only way you truly lose in trading… is if you give up.
