Futures are flapping like a flag in D.C.—a little green, a lot of uncertainty.
SoftBank just ghosted Nvidia, dumping its $5.8 billion stake like a trader bailing before the margin call.

CoreWeave cried into its AI chips after slashing guidance.
Day 41 of the Government shutdown. Congress is sprinting back to D.C. to vote Wednesday to reopen the government (translation: they’re still getting paid while the country doesn’t).
Travel’s still stalled, business is limping, and traders are eyeing liquidity like caffeine addicts eye espresso.

It’s a day for tactical discipline—not hero trades.

Strengths:
Markets remain resilient despite government paralysis. Corporate earnings are still providing sparks of optimism (Rocket Lab, RealReal, BigBear.ai). Liquidity remains healthy in key sectors, especially AI and space tech.

Weaknesses:
AI euphoria showing fatigue—CoreWeave’s cut guidance is the canary in the GPU coal mine. SoftBank’s Nvidia dump may spook momentum traders. Consumer sentiment remains fragile under inflation and travel drag.

Opportunities:
Government resolution could trigger a relief rally. Earnings season rotation opens tactical plays in retail, defense, and infrastructure. Traders with cash on the sidelines can strike selectively on pullbacks.

Threats:
Washington dysfunction and shutdown drama still loom. A hawkish Fed headline could derail momentum. Overvaluation in AI remains a flashing red light for latecomers. The “holiday travel hangover” could spill into Q4 GDP.

Tactical Trading Tip

Bond Market Closed — Liquidity Light, Traps Tight.

When the bond market takes the day off, the stock market turns into that kid unsupervised at home—looks calm for a bit, then chaos hits the second someone mentions “rates.”

Here’s how to trade it like a pro, not a panic:

1. Expect Weird Price Action

• With bonds offline, liquidity thins out, and price moves get exaggerated.

• You’ll see fake breakouts, phantom fades, and algos hunting stops in both directions.

• Think of it as “volatility without volume.” It’s not conviction—it’s confusion.
  
  

 2. Avoid Reading Too Much Into Moves

• Without Treasury yields providing a reference point, the equity market loses its compass.

• Today’s gains or losses often reverse tomorrow once bonds reopen and real money flows return.

• Translation: don’t build your thesis off Tuesday’s tantrum.
  
  

3. Scale Down, Stay Sharp

• Reduce position sizes.

• Tighten stops.

• Wait for setups with clear catalysts, not just candles that look pretty.

• Patience pays more than precision when half the market’s missing.

In 2013, ExxonMobil briefly overtook Apple as the world’s most valuable company after Apple’s stock slipped during a rough earnings season.

But the victory was short-lived—Apple reclaimed the crown within days, reminding everyone that oil might fuel the world, but innovation fuels valuation.

TFT Lesson:
Price may wobble, but dominance built on disruption always wins long-term.
That’s why traders don’t chase headlines—they trade the turns that rewrite them.

• Think like a Trader and Investor
• Build your own "consistency code"
