Trump's Iran Deal Just Hit a Major Problem
In a Nutshell
Trump's Iran deal faces hurdles amid deescalation signals, including a potential one-month ceasefire, high-level talks, and Iran's nuclear pledge, boosting markets (NASDAQ recovered to prior close, oversold conditions prompted shift to long TQQQ for $1.8K+ gains) while oil fluctuates and scrutiny hits $480M pre-announcement trades. Microsoft dropped 2.6% to attractive valuations near year-ago lows (fair value $591, 23x earnings), Circle shed 20% after spiking to $136, gold/silver surged, and oil ETFs like UCO/SCO offer directional plays based on escalation odds. Live trading via LPP emphasizes position sizing on leveraged ETFs like TQQQ/SQQQ amid deescalation favoring upside.

NASDAQ ended in the red down 0.68%, but up over 1% today, gaining back all it lost, back to yesterday's close around 590 before the sell-off. On larger timeframe, NASDAQ is incredibly oversold. In live trading session with LPP team, shifted from shorting to going long due to oversold conditions. Reward greater on upside than downside. Went long on TQQQ with light position, not fully certain.
US and Trump administration appear willing to deescalate with Iran. Stock market cares about ceasefire, oil prices dropping to avoid higher inflation, and less uncertainty for bond market retracement.
US negotiating one-month ceasefire with Iran for peace talks per Israel media; no official confirmation. US-Iran may hold high-level talks as soon as Thursday.
$480 million oil trades made minutes before Trump's key Iran announcement draw scrutiny; calls for investigation.
Iran agrees never to have nuclear weapons again.
Iran prefers negotiating with JD Vance over Jared Kushner or Wickoff; all over the news.
Markets would react positively to deescalation. TQQQ (triple leverage ETF, up when NASDAQ up) pushing higher overnight; not for beginners due to leverage.
First time in past 4-5 weeks Trump administration feels pressure for ceasefire. Did not take position on MSTZ (inverse ETF) or MSTR. Took profits on SQQQ (inverse QQQ ETF) in pre-market after lack of downside progress: retested, rejected multiple times, made $610 on SQQQ. On TQQQ, made little over $1,800 to 2K today, light position.
