The Market Is No Longer Moving on Data, It Is Moving on One Man’s Mood
There was a time when I used to care a lot about interest rates, economic policies, liquidity, helicopter money, inflation data, CPI, PPI, jobless claims, NFP, and every single word Jerome Powell spoke.
But now, honestly, I don’t care about most of it the way I used to.
Because the reality is simple, especially in US markets and crypto, everything looks like it is being controlled, influenced, and pushed around by 1 man, his family, his close friends, and his inner circle.
Donald Trump is not just moving the US markets anymore. He is moving the global economy. Every statement, every threat, every tariff headline, every geopolitical comment, every sudden flip, every aggressive post, it creates panic, pumps, dumps, uncertainty, and chaos across the world.
And in my opinion, he has taken way too much power, and he is misusing it to a very large extent.
At this point, I won’t even be surprised if every major data point, CPI, PPI, inflation, jobless claims, NFP, comes out exactly in the way that protects the image of Donald Trump. Whether the economy is actually strong or weak, the data will always be presented in a way that makes him look like he is winning.
Because elections are coming, and his reputation matters more than reality.
The markets have never felt this rigged, this headline-driven, and this politically manipulated in modern history.
Yes, support and resistance will still work. Technical analysis will still matter. But you cannot blindly trade this market anymore thinking only charts will save you. One statement can destroy the setup. One post can reverse the trend. One political headline can wipe out days of analysis.
So if you are still trading, keep it extremely selective.
Stick to oil, gas, commodities, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.
Everything else is noise until this madness settles.
