BULL TRAP WARNING: IRAN ATTACK COMING SOON?!?
These notes were generated by AI and may contain inaccuracies.
NASDAQ markets trading like nothing happened after past week's sell-off. Yesterday's video discussed if it's an overreaction and still safe to short. Did not open short position because too oversold with risk of V-shaped recovery from Trump tweet.
US embassy sent message to all US citizens in Iran to leave now. China urging its citizens to leave Iran now. This sheds light on possible uncertainty of attack in Iran. Why is China getting involved?
NASDAQ up 1% with beautiful recovery after getting destroyed. Bitcoin got destroyed; speculative stocks wiped out. NASDAQ down 5% (previously 6-7%) from previous highs to current lows, still trading within range. Consolidating for some time with ascending support. One or two days more of sell-off, not the lowest point. On November 20-21 hit lows of 579, then V-shaped recovery to highs of 620-630. Still way more potential upside market sentiment despite fear this week. Markets oscillate: one moment selling off, next recovering.
Advice for Bullish Investors
If bullish long-term, buy dip on good quality companies with strong fundamentals.
Not fearmongering: US or China involvement in attack on Iran creates uncertainty and downside continuation. When in doubt, zoom out—markets more bullish than bearish. Respects trend despite short bias; did not overhype pullback. Likes seeing Bitcoin crash but does not trade it. Markets pulled back enough to find support and recover, unless more uncertainty presents itself—then another leg down.
MSTR reported $17 billion loss in unrealized gains, net loss of $42.93 per share in Q4 alone (excludes last five weeks of destruction). Raised $40-50 billion borrowing against shareholders to buy Bitcoin. Bitcoin holdings market cap now $36 billion. MSTR up 19% today. No open position, but open to MSTZ (double leverage inverse ETF) if breaks support—huge downside potential if continuation. Is this bull trap or reversal beginning?
Opinions on Going Long MSTR
If believe last week's events meaningless and markets only recover, go long MSTR (e.g., to $1,000/share). Fully support. But if think bull trap, fake out, another leg down especially if markets retrace, be careful: no leverage, calculated, intentional.
Warnings on MSTZ
MSTZ incredibly risky, not for messing around, not hold overnight, not investment vehicle. Especially with mover like MSTR—anything can happen. Reported terrible earnings yet up 19%. Prior week destroyed from highs of 160/share to lows of 100/share. Possibly overreaction; earnings not as bad as expected, didn't break $100. Felt FOMO during sell-off without short. Hopes MSTR goes up if bullish, but thinks continuation downside—entertain shorting again on confirmation. Shorting not for beginners; markets more bullish than bearish, but not for MSTR. Not convincing agreement; respects differing opinions.
Amazon down 8% despite good earnings: beat revenue, missed EPS, lower guidance disliked by markets. Consolidating, struggling to break above 208. Dip-buy opportunity if markets recover: buy lows of 200, sell highs of 240-250 (nearly 20% return for Mag 7 stock).
Recommendations
Beginners focus on slower-moving stocks like Amazon for great returns over gambling on MSTR. If aggressive, all power to you.
