TRUMP'S WARNING: WHY THE MARKET IS PLUMMETING
In a Nutshell
Ricky is shorting MSTR and waiting for Bitcoin to break below $60K to add to the position, expecting larger gains as BTC continues lower. The video highlights $635B wiped from crypto markets, MicroStrategy's record $122.7B unrealized Bitcoin loss, and Trump's failed attempt to prop up stocks after weak jobs data. Key advice: use strict risk management, avoid overleveraging shorts, and have buy-the-dip names ready like IBM and Micron if sentiment shifts bullish over the weekend.

Happy Friday. It's Ricky with Techbook Solutions with a quick market update following the LPP live trading session. Bitcoin continued forming lower lows and lower highs and was close to breaking below 60,000. MSTR began showing signs of slight support as BTC had not yet broken below 60K.
In the live session, shorting MSTR and adding to the position as direction became favorable was demonstrated. Day trading MSTR and shorting it as direction is favorable within the day is acceptable, but carrying the position overnight carries greater risk. The plan is to see BTC break below 60K and then add more to the short position. A gain of $4,000 was made on the day as MSTR sold off, but larger gains are expected once BTC breaks below 60K.
BTC is less than $250 away from breaking below 60K. MicroStrategy's unrealized loss on Bitcoin holdings has risen to 122.7 billion, the largest unrealized loss of Bitcoin in history. The more BTC sells off, the more the company will be down. This puts the company down over $28 billion in the last 12 months. Michael Saylor exemplifies why dollar cost averaging with Bitcoin never works with speculative assets.
Bitcoin plunged below 61K, the lowest range since half a decade. Over $635 billion has been wiped from the crypto market in less than a month. There were 500+ crypto liquidations in the last hour, with long positions accounting for over $450 million.
President Trump stated that stocks should be going up, not down, after today's job reports. Trump is attempting to inflate the market. The NASDAQ market had one of its nastiest days in quite some time. This day was long overdue. Markets would not sell off even when peace deals or ceasefires fell through or when bad inflation or economic data reports came out. Markets have finally corrected due to uncertainty from attacks in the Middle East and escalations with no peace deal in sight.
This is not a full-on crash. Markets can still be more bullish than bearish overall, but within the day markets are bearish, which is why shorting the markets today is occurring. If sentiment changes over the weekend and markets recover, planning which stocks to buy is advisable for those who do not short.
On the 1-hour timeframe, IBM has been a great performer recently. Micron has performed well, moving from nearly 1,100 to 900. SanDisk moved from highs of 1,800 to 1,600. These stocks can go lower before going higher. If sentiment returns to bullish because Trump promotes or pumps the market again, these names are worth watching for those who prefer buying dips over shorting.

Do not make the same mistake as bag holders by not managing risk. Taking a hopeful trade with no risk management should be avoided. MSTR and Bitcoin bag holders who bought at elevated levels exemplify what to avoid. When in doubt, cash out. Learn from these examples by being intentional and calculated rather than perfect.
As markets sell off, those who do not short should plan one or two stocks to buy the dip on if markets recover. Those who are shorting should watch position size, avoid overleveraging, and take profits. The same mistake bag holders made on the way up—getting too excited, too greedy, and not taking profits—can happen on the way down, leading to missed recovery.
