After the Trump tariff rumour dump, we now get the Trump pump.
SPX up 9.5%, Nasdaq up 12% – in a single day.

These are record-breaking upside moves, completely unprecedented.
Price is now testing the 5400 bull trigger – a key decision level.
Overnight futures are back down – showing hesitation or possible reversal.
The bear bias remains active, but now there’s a need to reassess.
If 5400 holds, bull setups come into play: Tag ‘n Turn, Pulse Bars, GEX Bulls Eye.

If it fails? It’s “Long live the bear,” once more.

Volatility continues: futures down 143 overnight, then +188, and back to flat – all before the UK open.

SPX plan remains firm: bearish below 5400, selling rallies, using GEX levels for intraday locations.
Monday’s 5250 gamma flip played out beautifully as resistance – the Mr Miyagi “tariff on, tariff off” spike hit it and reversed.
We also saw a clean retest of the lows – something that has happened before key reversals (e.g. post-2020 V-turn).
I’m already in the bear swing, positioned post-pulse bars. Just waiting now for the targets to hit.

The strategy is working. No hokey cokey trading required.

Retail panic sold Monday morning right into our labelled “post-weekend drop zone” – perfect DCB setup.

News frenzy around a potential Trump “90-day tariff pause” created the biggest 30-min swing in market cap in history.
Within 30 minutes, the S&P added $3 trillion, then gave back $2.5 trillion. Headlines were fake. Markets spiked and dumped.
Meanwhile, your plan remained steady: bearish swing trades on, profitable, and safe.
Still not bullish – looking toward the 5400 zone for reassessment.

Bearish pulse bars, sell rallies, and Tag ‘n Turn setups remain the go-to.

Friday’s selloff was vicious, and Monday’s looking worse.

Overnight futures are down 200+ points as of writing.
My bear swings are all likely to cash out at the open.
Daily bear swing target 1 has already been breached – we’re sprinting to target 2.
I remain aggressively bearish, especially into any relief rally.
Eyes on the 4900/4850 zone – it may act as support or be the next trapdoor.

Whether this is the start of a full bear cycle or just a puke-and-recover, I’ll stay systematic and keep pulling points.
