Hey, Ross here:
Markets staged a face-ripping rally yesterday after Trump announced a 90-day pause on tariffs on most countries except China.
We may never know whether this was part of his plan all along…
Or if he was pressured because of market conditions.
If it was the latter case?
Then the pressure may have come not from the stock market – but from somewhere else.
I explain below.
Chart of the Day
This is the US 10-year Treasury yield.
While it dropped sharply after Liberation Day…
It started spiking the moment retaliatory tariffs started being announced.
I believe this added a lot of pressure for President Trump to pause the tariffs.
You see, one of the major goals behind tariffs was to help reduce our massive $36 trillion debt pile – with $9 trillion needing to be refinanced this year.
If yields spike, so will the interest on that refinanced debt…
Which runs contrary to the whole purpose of bringing down our debt.
President Trump has also indicated his willingness to negotiate on tariffs, which is a good sign.
But the situation changes so fast, and he could instantly switch back to playing hardball if things shift.
That’s why, for us stock traders, the big question right now is – is this a relief rally or just another fakeout?
And how should we play it?
I give one answer for this below.
Insight of the Day
You can usually find insiders placing their bets right before these big moves.
The market typically turns when all optimism has fled.
Monday’s sharp spike on a false tweet shows that there are still a lot of optimists waiting for the slightest sign of good news to jump back in.
In my opinion, that’s going to lead to a lot of dead-cat bounces…
With each bounce likely sending the market lower after.
You don’t want to get trapped in these bounces.
But you can still profit from them – especially if you’re willing to take the short side.
That’s why later this afternoon at 3 p.m. Eastern…
I’m going LIVE to demo a strategy that has allowed us to pick up recent gains as high as 519%.
It shows a volume spike right before Trump announced the pause and the rest of the market came flooding in.
Now, I cannot absolutely say for certain that the first volume spike came from the insiders…
But if 20 years in the markets have taught me anything, it’s that you can almost always find the insiders taking a position right before these big moves.
Just because the market reversed course yesterday doesn’t mean uncertainty has disappeared.
If anything, it shows just how volatile this current market can be.
Things can flip in an instant – and in a big way.
That’s why one of the safest and smartest moves right now is following the insiders.
And that’s why later this afternoon at 3 p.m. Eastern…
I’m hosting a LIVE session to show you exactly how to follow in these insiders’ footsteps…
So you can be one step ahead of the market at all times.
My insider strategy has made some of its absolute best trades during times of extreme uncertainty just like these (including a 1,868% gain)…
So you don’t want to miss this session.
