Should You Buy This Dip? Market Crash Analysis
In a Nutshell
Markets are crashing amid US-Iran tensions, with IRGC closing the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices spiking, over $500B wiped from US stocks, and NASDAQ hitting lows near 567 since September 2025—expect more weekend selling pressure despite Trump's usual tweet recoveries faltering. Ricky went long but advises beginners to avoid leverage, stay intentional with position sizes, and buy small dips in oversold blue-chips like Microsoft, Meta, and Google for long-term holds (e.g., kids' 18-20 year accounts). For day trades, short if direction aligns or stay in cash; join LPP live trading for beginner guidance.

Do not worry, it's going to get a lot worse. Ricky with Techbutt Solutions is long on the market. Just wrapped up live trading session with the LPP team, kept it super simple. Markets are selling off with uncertainty into the weekend, where most attacks, fear, and selling pressure occur. Normally on Monday, Trump sends a tweet, markets recover.
This is a rare series of events: selling off aggressively on Friday. NASDAQ at lows of 567, officially one of the lowest points since September 2025. Substantial pullback in past few days. NASDAQ down 1%, red day, not that significant—continuation from yesterday with slight overnight recovery given back.
Over $500 billion wiped from US stock market. BTC below 66K—for how long? Iran blows up another tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. IRGC confirms Strait of Hormuz closed. Iran media says if US-Iran war goal is to open the strait, why start the war if it was already open—calling out US for false headlines or intentions.
Normally hear only from US side, from Trump, who influences the market. Now Iran taking it to social media, sharing their side: if that was your intention, you should have never attacked us. Affecting the market and bond market. Lots of uncertainty, Trump's tweets not working as before, at least right now.
IRGC says Strait of Hormuz closed, any transit faces harsh measures. Three container ships of various nationalities turned back after IRGC Navy warning. Now turning back tankers, so oil prices likely to rise higher, markets could drop more.
Iran says it did not request 10-day pause on energy strikes. Trump said pause based on Iran's request. Back and forth on what was said. Hard to know who to believe. Ricky supports US, but wouldn't find it hard to believe Trump lying about some things to push narrative of winning more than actually are. US has stronger military, but Trump opens his mouth a lot, not everything shared is true.
NASDAQ in the red, down, things can get worse before better. Over the weekend, consider intentions for today: markets opened with continuation. For intraday, short the market or is it consolidated/oversold enough to go long? Be very careful.
Ricky went long, but his trade is not yours. He's okay taking risk, not a beginner, can manage losses. For beginners: be careful, intentional, watch position size. Don't use leverage in uncertain times. Don't go all-in with 100%—one of the worst things.
Now is time for daughter's and son's accounts: buy small pieces of fundamentally good companies long-term: Microsoft, Meta, Google. Things can get worse before better, but larger picture shows Meta incredibly oversold on day chart, Microsoft incredibly oversold.
For kids, they won't need access for next 18-20 years. During uncertainty and dropping markets, take advantage of deals tastefully—not large chunks that devastate if sell-off continues. Buy what makes sense based on current events/uncertainty. If markets recover, add more. If continue sell-off, more cash on sidelines to buy.
Watch position size, be intentional, understand timeline. For day trades, ensure direction in your favor today—if not, stay cash. For swing trades/investments, things can get worse before better, watch exposure.
Be intentional, look at ratios, ensure trade/investment meets criteria. Talks about this every morning with LPP team in live trading session, designed for complete beginners.
