JOIN ME LIVE AT 9 AM ET FOR: MACRO MONDAYS
What we’re seeing in the markets right now — finally some selling — isn’t catching me off guard. In fact, I’ve been talking about this exact scenario for weeks.
The market correction we’re experiencing was completely telegraphed — after that melt‑up we saw all through July, I knew August and September would bring a reality check.
It’s just how seasonality works, and the technical setup was screaming for a pullback.
What triggered this sell‑off was something I’ve been watching closely — copper just experienced one of the largest single‑day sell-offs ever, dropping about 25% in a single week.
When you see a move like that in such a critical industrial metal, you know something’s breaking in the broader market.
The Correction I’ve Been Preparing For
Look, this isn’t a bear market call. What we’re seeing is a healthy and necessary correction after reaching extreme overbought conditions.
I’ve been saying for weeks that July would be a melt‑up month, pushing as hard as possible to new highs, but August and September would bring the seasonal reality check.
The technical divergences were everywhere — even as the major indexes hit new highs, almost 70% of individual stocks were actually declining.
That’s not the kind of broad‑based strength you want to see in a healthy rally.
I’m expecting this correction to run anywhere from 4% to 10% — nothing catastrophic, but enough to reset sentiment and create some real buying opportunities.
The market will likely find support around key moving averages, and that’s where things get interesting again.
How My Hedging Strategy Is Paying Off
Here’s where preparation meets opportunity…
I’ve been building extensive hedging positions since April, including bear put spreads with potentially BIG payouts.
These aren’t lottery tickets — they’re calculated protection strategies.
While others are panicking about the red we’re seeing, I’m watching my hedges do exactly what they’re supposed to do. This is portfolio protection in action, allowing me to maintain my long‑term bullish outlook while profiting from short‑term volatility.
The key here is understanding that corrections like this create opportunities. When everyone else is selling in fear, that’s when you want to be positioned to buy quality at discounted prices.
This market environment isn’t something to fear — it’s something to navigate intelligently. And right now, that navigation is paying off exactly as planned.
I’ll see you in the markets.
