For the past hour, stock indices dipped and VIX spiked up.
I feel like something happened behind the scenes and the insiders are acting accordingly. nothing much is happening on the news so maybe I'm missing something.
does anyone know if something material happened? maybe trumpet said something?

Yea trumpet blew something
Just stay the course man something is happening behind the scenes always
The clown stated that if EU countries don’t help with opening Hormuz he will stop sending weapons to Ukraine 😅.
Market going down again?
Positioning for the planted stories from each side of the war to manipulate markets. US claimed they won and will leave in 2/3 weeks. Negotiations going well. Iranian parliament saying there is no negotiations. Iran said they have won which is echoing truth to the markets because the war is clearly not going well.
This will rinse and repeat until they have swept up as much money as possible from the yo-yo.
Max pain for today was showing at 170. Yet we saw 177 this afternoon. Watch it hit 170 into close.
The Big Guy has an epic April Fool’s joke to pull on us…stay tuned!
You all are being shaken out. That’s what happened. Yesterday was a massive reversal, today is a follow through day. They’ll put in a doji close and just gap you to the 200 daily moving average tmw. Price drives narrative, however Reddit is mostly concerned with narrative over price. Another bear trap for retail
“The text of the important letter from #President_Pezeshkian addressed to the American people will be published in a few hours.” Via X
There is plenty of negative war news. A ceasefire? Denied! More troops…on their way. Another ship on it’s way.
Pump. Dump. Dump. Pump. Nothing happened different yesterday vs today.
The more important question is why the indices surged from close on Monday to the drop starting an hour ago in the first place.
Believe me it started straight after I bought a stock
Because Trump already told his friends what he’s going to say and do and they are moving appropriately.
Take a break please. The market moved 0.5% intraday and you’re asking what happened. The market has moves like that hundreds, potentially thousands of times per year.
I hope the republicans get slaughtered at the midterms. All this pump and dump nonsense is costing the common people a lot of money. They have the laugh now until they’re bleeding votes from this BS. Just let the markets crash FFS
It’s called reality. It continues to seep into the market.
Barron Trump has switched again from Calls to Puts
Usually what happens when we’ve been sold off, is that there will be a period where “they” try and get you to sell your bags at these lows. We’re in that period now and the last month, a lot of FUD getting people to sell lows.
>Oh no, QQQ is only 0.6% up today when earlier it was 1.3% up!
It’s over, SELL!!!! ALL OF IT!!!
Remember the extreme actions during GME? Shorts (war) had to cover. That drives price up (Monday into 2pm day when traders quit). Kind of a dead cat bounce until war is resolved.
The presidents address likely got leaked. It’s about time for pre reads to be shared to journalists.
Iran releasing letter to Americans shortly? This would be my guess.
Nothing happened behind the scenes. I have 11 PUTs on SPY open, half exp tomorrow and the others long, but I bought them specifically in anticipation for this, what’s happening now.
Doing your due diligence these days really does mean having a Truth Social/ Twitter account and being up to date on what Trump says, when he does, and why
Volatility is where money is made.
Once you realize the rich make money no matter what the market does, you’ll understand why it just keeps moving.
Can’t have all of those wsb people making money off their options.
>nothing much is happening on the news so maybe I’m missing something.
Yes — intraday market volatility and random noise.
Could be an index, or pension fund, or SWF rebalancing.
Could be an airline buying / shorting oil futures for hedging purposes.
Could be a bunch of individuals liquidating parts of their portfolio for tax purposes.
Or it could be all of those individual scenarios + thousands more.
Trying to make sense of short term price movements (and thinking that those price movements are due to some binomial event happening or not happening) is a fool’s errand.
……..especially if you fail to recognize or think **allll** those other market participants have the same risk tolerance, exit horizon, fund their benchmarking performance against, etc….
Bears defended 20dma
I had to sell to buy a fleet of mega yachts
People began to understand the real reasons behind the perceived rally yesterday (at the end of the quarter…)
Nothing has changed in a tangible way from a week ago. Get ready for the ride down.
I wouldn’t trust any news rn. It’s algos trading and retail jumping the bandwagon, could also open 10% lower tomorrow without any apparent reason.
May God, log off, chill, touch some grass, take your dog out, whatever.
What do you mean what is happening? The reality is completely different to what the market is doing. It is a false bull run that will catch you out.
There is no ceasefire, there will be troops going in and they will get decimated and markets will crash.
That is the whole fake pump that happened just before the extended easter break.
watch the opening and closing for fundamentals. Price and volume
