Yesterday we saw one of the sharpest selloffs ever across both crypto and traditional markets, triggered by reports that Trump plans to impose 100% tariffs on Chinese goods.
The reaction in crypto was brutal, marking the largest liquidation event in the history of the market, wiping out billions in leveraged positions within hours.
Reports also surfaced that an insider trader opened a massive Bitcoin short about 30 minutes before Trump’s announcement, reportedly profiting around $200 million while many retail traders were wiped out.
We’ve actually seen something similar before, back in April, when Trump’s tariff plans were first announced, markets reacted with the same fear and volatility, only to rebound strongly once the panic settled.
The key is to look beyond the headlines and focus on the underlying macro narrative.
The U.S. economy remains resilient, liquidity conditions are still supportive, and we’re still operating in a Goldilocks environment — not too hot, not too cold.
Even with tariffs and short-term volatility, the bigger story is fiscal dominance, with the government continuing to spend aggressively while the Fed gradually shifts toward a looser stance.
These are still constructive backdrops for risk assets, including crypto.
What we’re seeing now is fear and forced unwinding, not a breakdown of the trend.
As for those of you who don’t know, I’ve recently opened up my trading community to the public.
For years, I’ve been sharing analysis, strategies, and education within smaller circles, but now I want to take this a step further and build something much bigger, a community built on real education, transparency, and collaboration.
When I started trading, I spent thousands of dollars on courses and programs that promised “secrets” and “exclusive strategies,” only to realize most of them were just basic concepts repackaged with a shiny label. I don’t want anyone here to go through that same experience.
My goal with this community is simple, to build the most valuable and genuinely useful trading and investing community out there. A place that focuses on macro and technical analysis, on helping traders understand why markets move, not just where.
This community will remain free, and it’s meant to serve as a platform for growth, connection, and education, for investors, swing traders, and anyone serious about learning. Over time, I’ll continue adding resources, videos, and live analysis, with everything aimed at helping you build confidence and independence as a trader.
If you haven’t joined yet, you’re more than welcome to. It’s where I share my day-to-day updates, analysis, and thoughts on the markets in real time.
Stay calm, zoom out, and keep your focus on what truly matters.
