0DTE Daily: The REAL Reason for This Selloff

BY MARK SEBASTIAN  April 11, 2025 Hey Traders,   Tariffs are causing the market to go wild … or are they?   The answer is no – the selloff from Thursday was likely started by China raising tariffs.   But the real selling didn’t come from tariffs. It came from this: The iShares 20+ Year […]

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 […]

0DTE Daily: Post-Tariffs, What’s the Move?

BY MARK SEBASTIAN  April 3, 2025 Hey Traders,   As I write this, S&P 500 futures are down about 200 points … good for north of 3.5%. You can see where we closed, and where we currently are.   Today will be a gap down open, but what’s after that? Everything is down …   […]

0DTE Daily: Why We Rallied After Gapping Lower

BY MARK SEBASTIAN  April 1, 2025 Hey Traders,   What caused the rip? Was it just dip buyers … or was it something else??   Why did we rally on Monday after gapping lower? It’s a combination of two things:   1. The bond market. Look at the pop in TLT on Monday – .massive […]

0DTE Daily: We May Be Heading for a Blowout

BY MARK SEBASTIAN  March 31, 2025 Hey Traders, So the big question is … is this setting up a bottom, or setting up a blow out?   The last selling cycle we watched the VIX (the red line) climb but never blow up, then a quick and strong drop.   Now with the S&P 500 […]

0DTE Daily: Are We Near a Bottom?

BY MARK SEBASTIAN  March 28, 2025 Hey Traders, Movement is actually falling in the SPX, which tells me we are near a bottom.   However … that doesn’t mean we rally. We could be stuck here in a range for weeks while the Tariffs work themselves out.   With the VIX higher and a potential […]

0DTE Daily: Get Ready for a Bounce

BY MARK SEBASTIAN  March 27, 2025 Hey Traders,   A surprising amount of damage was done on Wednesday to markets. We had a huge rally on Monday with limited follow through on Tuesday.

0DTE Daily: Things May Be Changing Soon

BY MARK SEBASTIAN  March 26, 2025 Hey Traders, SPX has another constructive day.   After a huge Monday, it would have been easy for the market to turn right around … and it tried.   But given the time and the tight range, eventually the buyers were drawn in and the S&P 500 closed up […]
