Tariffs - priced in
Unemployment - didnt pop
Seasonality - aligned
JPowell - not hawkish

I am an optimist long term so I will be buying this dip, but we're in for some turbulence over the next four years. Even if all the tariffs get wiped with countries giving Trump some wishy washy concessions to provide an off-ramp, business confidence is damaged. And what is very clear now is that Trump isn't play 3d chess: he likes the idea of tariffs not only as a threat to trading partners but on the premise that it brings jobs back to the US.

Looking like Scenario B

Went to 597 (I said 599) premarket which was pretty shady and slimy but will have to do

Dead cat tomorrow to hedge

Bottoms this week Thursday, Friday (my guess is this) or possibly Monday, my guess is 562-570 spy

Bullish after


Check

Looking ahead it gets a bit complicated

Per seasonality:

3/7 should have been down -3% YTD for the year which we hit and a bit more. Should be rallying into mid March, specifically putting in a local high around 3/19. Following 3/19 it’s a zig zag before a higher low in first week April. The main note is that with that local high and all the zig zagging , the historical rise is to YTD -1%. We opened at 589-590 so puts the upcoming rally near a top of 583 at or by 3/19. This is much lower than a lot of bulls are hoping for in the short term, including myself before I sat and looked at it. Especially since we have already rallied half the difference in that candle on Friday.

Also worth noting that seasonality didn’t call for that sharp rise in February so while prices might be a bit off , it’s the timeframes that I am putting more emphasis on.

TLDR
-Basically don’t fuck around too much with near dated options cuz this zig zagging is going to crush them
-583+ and up have downside protection until April

I think this becomes bouncing between 200ma and 10ma from mid March to early April before lift off after first week April

This is the plan I will be playing for

Not advice just my thoughts :)

Based on seasonality, do you think we just put in the lowest of the year on Friday @ 565 spy?

yeah, however, there are usually significant draw downs mid May to early July and august to early October that take us close

Agree , and cash gains

It is possible we can continue bottoming until Tuesday or Wednesday , has happened 28% of the time post election cycles where incumbent loses. I don’t think this will be the case but it’s tough to be certain here

Weekly expected moves by options chain are
Spy 557
Spy 598

It’s a tough ass market

Monthly expected moves are still

Spy 575
Spy 623
