The Market is in Freefall – What’s Next And What’s One Trade I’m Looking At?
Wall Street is taking a beating, and investors are scrambling for answers. The S&P 500 has erased its gains for the year, the Nasdaq is seeing its worst single-day drop in a month, and big tech stocks—once the market’s golden child—are suddenly looking vulnerable. What’s causing this sudden market selloff? More importantly, where could the next reversal come from? Let’s break it down.
Market Sentiment Shock: Why Investors Are Nervous Despite Record Highs
The S&P 500 just hit another all-time high, but instead of euphoria, investor sentiment is flashing warning signs. Bullish sentiment is at its lowest since late 2023, and fear-driven headlines about trade wars, tariffs, and global instability are taking a toll. Is this a sign of trouble ahead, or is cautious sentiment actually a reason for the market to climb higher? In this article, we break down why investors are feeling uneasy and what it means for the rally. Keep reading to understand the data, the risks, and the opportunities.
You Know A Traders Reserve Live Event Is Coming Soon When This Happens
Whenever we host a live event, the market seems deadset on dropping. It’s the Traders Reserve curse, and with our Investors Blueprint Live event next week, it’s no surprise the Dow dropped 450 points.
Markets at Record Highs: Where Do We Go From Here?
Stocks continued their record-breaking rally today, but signs of slowing momentum are creeping in as investors assess what’s next. The S&P 500 inched up 0.2% to 6,129.58, marking another all-time high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed barely higher at 44,556.34, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.1%, closing above 20,041.26.
So, what’s driving the market now? And more importantly, what should you be watching in the coming weeks?

The Market’s Next Move? Key Signals You Can’t Ignore
Before we get into the article, I want to remind you that markets are closed for Washington’s birthday on Monday, so do what you need to before Monday. Ok, back to the article…
Markets are at a crossroads, and the latest earnings reports, inflation data, and technical trends paint a picture few investors are prepared for. Is this the calm before the storm—or the start of another major breakout? Before you make your next move, there are some critical numbers you need to see, especially in this headline-driven market.
The One Chart I Wouldn’t Trade Right Now…and Some That I Would
If there’s one setup that traders should be avoiding at all costs, it’s this one. It looks like it should be setting up for a major move, but it’s not going anywhere. Trapped in a range, grinding sideways for months, and offering little opportunity for big gains—this chart is a trap for anyone trying to trade momentum right now.
The worst part? This isn’t a small stock or an obscure sector. It’s the biggest, most-watched chart in the market, and everyone is waiting for a breakout that just won’t come.
So what’s keeping it stuck? And more importantly—how do you actually find trades when the market refuses to move? Let’s get into it.
Your Weekly Income Report
We closed eight winners last week across all of our services, including a 5K Challenge trade that earned traders $1,600 in just over a week. But we also booked a large loss in Options Income Weekly on a stock whose fundamental story had changed.

If you’re wondering whether now is the time to buy, sell, or buckle up for a wild ride, keep reading—I will break down what’s driving the markets and where we might be heading next.
The Collapse No One Sees Coming: Is the Market on the Brink?
It always starts the same way—everything seems fine until suddenly, it’s not. Investors get comfortable, valuations soar, and just when the party reaches its peak, reality crashes in. This time, it might not be a slow decline but a violent shift in the market’s foundation. For the past two years, one sector has held up the entire house of cards: Tech. And if what we’re seeing now plays out, that foundation is about to crack. Will you be ready when it does?
