190
Greetings Friends,

Coi here—I hope you’re having a great start to the year.

I’ve been away for some time, and I wanted to provide an update on what’s happening in the market, my thoughts on the current landscape, and any strategies that may help you make better trading decisions.

As always please find attached other views / charts of the market that might not have been mentioned in this update.

Market Recap: What Happened?

The market has been bombarded with major headline news, including:
- Deep Seek AI Threats
- U.S. Tariff Threats on Allies
- Retaliatory Tariffs
- White House Show Down
- Inflation resurgence

These events have contributed to a broad market correction, with indices pulling back 13% from their December 17 highs through March 12 (and still ongoing).

Notable Performance: 🎭
BABA +70%
MSTR -56%
TESLA -50%
NVDA -30%

Meanwhile, capital and investor confidence have shifted overseas, strengthening both the DAX and the Hang Seng Index.

As previously noted in my post on January 1st The VIX forecasted this correction early.
I don’t play poker but the Vix is like that that one person who has a bad poker face. Take heed.

My Market Update:

I am currently neutral in this environment, at this stage everyone is expecting a rally — which I do agree with but the question is will this be a counter trend rally and will momentum in the future keep favouring the downside?

I will be attaching pictures to better help explain my view points.



Lessons Learned (For Those Willing to Listen)
• Everyone is playing a game of musical chairs. Banks, hedge funds, retail traders, analysts—question everything.

• Trading is the loneliest sport. No one is going to show up for your recital, but keep going.

• Your gut is your second brain. Learn to trust it.

• It’s frustrating to face issues with your strategy, but solving them is therapeutic. Growth happens in the problem-solving phase.



Closing Notes:

My goal is to be more active again. I’ll be sharing my market insights, trade setups, and thoughts weekly.

Stay sharp, stay disciplined, and trade wisely.

Best Regards,
C-Lemard
