2025 Trading Final Boss: Daily Market Manipulation, The New Norm

Marking this point in history because we'll likely forget and move on.

During the early hours of the July 16th NYC session, we saw indices quickly flush ( NQ1! ES1! ) nearly 1% on the news that Trump will fire Jerome Powell. The dip was bought almost instantly.

Shortly after the dip was bought (roughly 0.50% recovery), guess what? Trump announced, he is "not considering firing Jerome Powell". The dip then recovered and achieved a complete V to finish the day somewhat green. Make what you want of it but always use a stop loss in these tough conditions.
