The tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada that went into effect today have added additional fear and uncertainty to occur, and neither of those are helpful to the market. The Tech industry, which has been the backbone of the uptrend during these past years, has seen a 10% move down over the past 12 days. Leading the way down has been NVDA, which is the leader in the AI industry, and it has dropped 15% during this period of time. Such an event is the perfect example of what is happening.

This has all occurred because of Trump's actions. I am not going to speculate on what is to come, as even the best on Wall Street are lost, but the action seen and the fear and uncertainty generated are going to be a big negative until this all plays out. It curtainly is not going to be "played out" for a few months (at least).

Bitcoin is getting the shit kicked out of it that's for sure.

This is all computer and algorithm buying that is happening.

Computers and algorithms are set to be buyers or sellers when certain areas in the chart are hit.

Below is the daily chart of the NASDAQ100 index. You will notice a blue line that is there. That blue line represents the 200-day MA, which is a chart indicator that automatically generates buying by the computers (70% of all trading in the market). As you can see by the chart, that line has been hit by the index on 3 different occasions and each time it generated a buy by the computers, and the trend continued higher.

I expected this to happen this week (put it in my newsletter on Sunday). Having said that, the markets ultimately move on the fundamentals and when those come out, what the computers and algorithms did can go out the window.

The news that happened today is not something that is yet "tangibly" negative, so the computers stepped in. Nonetheless on Friday, the Jobs report comes out (always a potentially big catalyst) and next week, the inflation report comes out on Wednesday, and that is another possibly fundamental catalyst.

For now, this bounce will likely continue tomorrow and Thursday and then news comes out and that could help or damage this rally.

Yep, caused partially by computers. And when the markets go low, you buy.
Today is mostly computers.

Having said that, you need to be very careful. Almost all economists have stated that Trump putting into place his agenda is going to bring inflation and economic upheaval. That will not help the market go higher.

If and when what Trump is doing helps, it is not something that will be known for months or perhaps even years. You say buy low, how do you know that this is low? Just because it has come down recently does not mean it cannot go much lower. You do know what the word "trend" means, don't you? This market has been in an uptrend for 15 years (normal is 5 years). If this turns out to be simply a correction, it can be as much as 20% and that means that you are halfway down to a "low" price. Are you willing to lose 50% of your money on paper?

If this is a trend change, which is certainly a good possibility as big changes are occurring that have no guarantees of working out, you could be in a situation where you could lose most of the money you invest.

Here, for example is what could happen. 15 years ago, AMZN was trading at $6 and it is now at $203. Nonetheless, it is down from the all-time high at $243, so it can be said it is at a "low" price. Then again, if the market gets into a downtrend, it could easily drop down to $100. Are you willing to buy here and take that much of a drop in price?

The markets went up under Biden, even with 9% inflation.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

You are on your own.

By the way, in the last few minutes, the market has turned back down and is near the lows.
