Listen up you beautiful degenerates.
Trump has been lining this up for months. This isn’t random. This isn’t “markets being spooky.” This is a setup.
JPOW IS THE FALL GUY.
Tomorrow’s FOMC is the moment. No cut. Possibly a hike. Why? Because fuck it — Volcker cosplay. Go reread Volcker’s speeches. Pain now, credibility later. Powell knows inflation credibility > asset prices, and Trump knows exactly how to use that.
Here’s the playbook:
• Trump destabilizes everything that isn’t bolted down
• Market HATES uncertainty more than bad news
• FOMC gives no relief (or worse)
• Risk pukes
• Trump points at Powell and screams “SABOTAGE”
Boom. Narrative locked.
And don’t pretend the market is healthy.
• We’re overbought as hell
• Capex hasn’t shown real returns yet — it’s all future AI vibes
• Balance sheets are stretched, leveraged, and circle-jerked into oblivion
• Everyone’s long because “stonks only go up” and passive flows say so
That’s not strength. That’s fragility.
Tomorrow is where that gets tested.
I’m not saying apocalypse. I am saying correction or crash risk is massively underpriced. When positioning is one-way, it doesn’t take much to tip it.
My move:
Full-port puts between 1:30–1:55. I will be looking for ODTEs and next weeklies $30-50 OTM. This will be unhedged and 10k+ per WSB rules.
Except for calls in the stock that shall not be named (you know the one, don’t ask).
This isn’t fear porn. This is game theory.
Powell needs credibility.
Trump needs a villain.
Markets need certainty — and they’re not getting it.
If I’m wrong, I lose money and go outside.
If I’m right, volatility finally wakes the fuck up.
Do what you want. This isn’t financial advice.
Good luck.
Don’t get fucked.
