BREAKING: IRAN AWAITS A STRIKE FROM THE US!
In a Nutshell
Markets reversed sharply Friday as reports emerged the US may strike Iran this weekend, despite recent Trump statements about a near-finalized peace deal. Oil stands to gain 8-15% on any attack while speculative quantum stocks like QBTS and RGTI could see sharp pullbacks if geopolitical risk spikes. The speaker flags these names for trading around the holiday and promotes a 50% off lifetime LPP membership.

The market showed an unusual pattern with a perfect overbought reversal on the 5-minute timeframe. QQQ rallied to highs of 722 before returning to pre-market lows, with the NASDAQ giving back all gains. This occurred as news broke that the US prepares for new military strikes on Iran.
The speaker questions the timing of potential strikes on Memorial Day weekend, noting it would be inappropriate to honor military sacrifices by attacking another country. The Trump administration had announced just 24 hours prior that they were finalizing a peace deal agreement with Iran. Trump had encouraged people that markets are at all-time highs and everyone should be buying, but this new development suggests markets could be rugpulled.
Iranian airspace is now fully closed with military on maximum alert. Multiple sources indicate the Trump administration was preparing Friday for a fresh round of military strikes against Iran. According to sources with direct knowledge of planning, no financial decision on strikes had been reached as of Friday afternoon, even as diplomacy continued. Trump canceled weekend golf plans and rushed back to the White House.
If an attack happens, the ceasefire agreement would be abandoned, removing the reason markets have rallied to near all-time highs. The Trump administration has been saying the same thing about a peace deal for the past six to eight weeks, propping markets higher. Markets have become like Trump's puppet, rallying on peace deal news but not selling off when deals don't materialize.
Oil would rise if an attack occurs. The speaker has been watching UCO as part of their LPP team watch list. Oil prices had dropped 8-10% from recent levels, offering upside potential. From overall lows to highs, oil offers about 15% upside, though current prices suggest 8-10% potential. Oil began recovering shortly after markets closed in anticipation of possible attack.
If an attack occurs, traders should watch oil closely for upward movement as overall markets drop. The speaker notes many people avoid shorting, so oil presents a favorable long opportunity when markets decline. Direction becomes favorable to go long on oil as broader markets fall.
Quantum stocks went parabolic this week as markets are irrational, celebrating higher highs and higher lows. The Trump administration announced they would invest $2 billion into quantum stocks. The biggest winners this week were quantum stocks, which could sell off if uncertainty presents itself.
The most speculative assets crash the hardest during uncertainty. Top watch list includes: QBT, NOQ, QBTS, and RGTI. These were the biggest winners this week and may sell off next week if an attack occurs. For the past four to five weeks there haven't been attacks, so no reason for markets to sell off due to Middle East conflict.
Markets have many reasons to sell off including rising inflation and weakening labor market, but Middle East tensions haven't triggered selling because countries haven't been attacking each other. If an attack happens this weekend, the speaker will provide updates and go live at market open on Tuesday following Memorial Day Monday.
