The catalyst is the midterm election timeline; the main risk is that no actual supply disruption materializes or a deal emerges sooner.
The author expects a 'blood red' Friday for the Nasdaq-100, citing a double top on the QQQ chart as the technical basis. The double-top pattern implies a bearish reversal, so the author is positioning for continued downside. No specific price target or risk management is given.
