Did Trump Just Trigger the Next Sell-Off?

This week’s update at a glance

• Friday’s reversal revived correction fears. Tariff headlines collided with a stretched tape and risk-off showed up quickly.
• Money flows over opinions. Breadth, leadership and key moving averages matter more than narratives right now.
• History context. Post-headline spikes in volatility can reset trends or become deeper pullbacks — breadth is the tell.
• Risk first. I’m using staged entries, smaller initial size and defined stops until participation improves.
• Opportunities can follow resets. If leaders hold and breadth stabilises, weakness may set up the next leg higher.

What you’ll learn

• How I read Friday’s reversal without prediction or panic.
• Signals that can turn a dip into a genuine correction.
• What prior tariff shocks and stretched markets suggest, historically.
• Where I’m focused now across leadership, breadth and risk management.

The thinking shift (in plain English)

It’s not about predicting headlines — it’s about consistently backing high-probability setups while managing risk. Keep your universe tight, follow the money flows, and execute with discipline.

What history shows (with important caveats)

Across many policy-driven shocks, markets have often experienced fast pullbacks. Durable trends typically survive when participation remains healthy; when breadth narrows and volatility persists, deeper drawdowns can follow. Staying objective through volatility is where much of the edge is realised.
