0DTE Daily: Tariffs Aren’t the Only Problem

BY MARK SEBASTIAN 

April 4, 2025

Hey Traders,

 

Thursday was the blood bath I told you it might be.

 

But here’s the good news: this is creating REAL opportunity.

 

There are now officially stocks that are WAY too cheap out there that you can start thinking about buying.

 

Everyone is saying Tariffs caused the sell off – which they did – but let’s not forget what kind of shape this market was in.

 

Mag 7 was really the problem, and continues to be:

Thursday’s selling was progressively worse the more exposure to those names your ETF had.

 

You can see on the 3 month chart how much those names affect the different indexes.

 

The ETF that is doing the worst of this bunch?

 

Vanguard Mega Cap Growth Index Fund ETF (Ticker: MGK) – the 90 top stocks in the S&P 500.

 

It’s hands down doing the worst, then the QQQ (second most exposure), then the S&P 500, then the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

 

But here’s the good news: I see a bottom forming and a potentially incredible chance to buy some specific stocks. Which ones? I’ll share today in Delta Strike.

 

In addition, I will tell you what I need to see for a bottom and whether we are close…

 

AND I’m going to tell you the one stock that is oversold (and trade it) … and potentially the one stock that has way lower to go.



For 0DTE – expect trades to come LATER in the day after 3 p.m. ET. Expect a trade today.

Let’s Recap Yesterday’s Trade

 

No trade on Thursday – I’m sure you get why. But the trained legged into a bunch of free flies, similar to what I showed in class yesterday. If you missed Thursday’s session, it’s worth a watch. Watch it here.

 

…Today’s Outlook

 

I feel pretty strongly we open lower and rally. I don’t know how hard … but I’m going to be watching that. If I’m wrong and we keep going lower, we are going to get to 5100, and I’ll send a Super Overnight. Be ready either way.

Your Only Option,
