This day focuses on momentum. If a name is moving fast, I want to be on it. I’ll go through parabolic moves, volatility breakouts and anything the Pinch Point Scanner pulls up that looks tradable.
Let me be clear from the start — I’m keeping my political opinions completely neutral here.
But as traders, we have to recognize the structural forces at play in this market, and right now one of the biggest forces has nothing to do with fundamentals and everything to do with legacy.
One thing is obvious: You have a government that is doing anything in its power to juice this market higher, even if it means borrowing from the future to pump prices up today.
And Trump is the type of president who wants to leave office in January 2029 saying, look what I did with the stock market at all-time highs.
Not look what the country did… Look what I did.
That creates a powerful incentive we need to understand. If everything can be pushed to new highs and the market cannot be stopped — the upside could be silly.
And whatever comes after doesn’t fall on him.
He doesn’t have to take responsibility for that. He won’t take any accountability for the market being led to a bubble or “pigs being led to slaughter” if the crash happens after he’s gone.
The Administration’s Playbook Is Already Clear
Trump has done what he says he’s going to do.
I know it’s noisy and I know the etiquette isn’t really there in his brash fashion, but you have to give the guy credit — he says things, he wants to do them, and he’s stacking things in his favor.
And with the Fed still accommodative enough to keep liquidity flowing, the fuel is there.
The bigger backdrop is that the U.S. cannot afford to have this market be permanently down.
If it falls 10, 15, 20%, it’s a short-term, ugly, scare-the-pants-off-everyone move, but it’s most likely going to be resolved.
The tools created after the Great Financial Crisis, plus the political pressure to keep the economy looking strong, mean any sharp decline gets treated as something that must be reversed quickly.
This is why the administration continues doubling down.
The priority is simple — get the market up, keep it up, and let someone else deal with the bill that comes due later.
How I’m Trading This Reality
Here’s my core philosophy right now: Trade the market that we have, not the market you think we should have. Because let’s be honest, it’s not a free market that way.
It feels like it’s a little bit less free and a lot more manipulated, but that doesn’t change the fact that we still need to trade what’s in front of us.
This market will do a lot to go up. The cycles are faster and the support mechanisms are stronger.
Even if it feels bizarre, even if it feels engineered, it’s still the market we’re in.
And structurally, it’s tilted toward higher prices through 2028.
Meanwhile, I plan on surviving the AI craze not by chasing the same bubble names as everyone else but by positioning in the physical build-out.
I want the scarcity build-out. That’s where I see real value while crowds chase momentum.
The bottom line is simple — we may not love all the dynamics at play, but ignoring them won’t make us money.
Understanding the political incentives shaping policy gives us an edge in positioning for what’s likely coming: A relentless push higher through 2028, consequences pushed aside for later.
I’ll see you in the markets.
