Tonight’s Video Recap: Trading the Market Meltdown with the QQQ
In today’s session, we took full advantage of the volatility in the QQQ, identifying several high-probability reversal setups within a strong downtrend triggered by the ongoing tariff drama. With China still facing 145% tariffs, the market gave us textbook opportunities to capitalize on intraday swings — but also reminded us how critical patience and discipline are when the action heats up.
I broke down:
-
Why sitting on your hands during impulsive price spikes is often the smartest move.
-
How we used anchored VWAP and previous session levels — like the key $447.15 resistance — to plan precise reversal entries.
-
The importance of placing your orders ahead of time to catch moves before they break.
-
A detailed walk-through of two successful setups, including one short at $444.16 and a secondary entry on the next push higher.
-
A missed opportunity around $449.10, and what we can learn from it.
-
How measured moves and Fibonacci retracements help us anticipate trend continuation and reversal points.
-
Why I passed on a third test of the level late in the session, favoring caution heading into the close.
We also tackled a great question from Naranjan on trading bias during high-volatility swings and reviewed the geometric logic behind today’s price action.
This session is packed with strategy — from volume-by-price confirmation to how to handle elastic pivots — and it’s available now in the Trading Recaps section. Go watch the replay to reinforce your process and prep for tomorrow.
Market Highlights
Today's Trading Recap
As we approach today’s market close on April 10, 2025, U.S. stock markets are experiencing a significant downturn, reversing much of the historic gains from the previous day. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) is currently priced at $525.26, down 4.26% from yesterday’s close. The Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) stands at $445.43, reflecting a 4.41% decline, while the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA) is at $395.55, down 2.59%.
This sharp decline follows President Donald Trump’s unexpected decision to impose a 145% tariff on Chinese imports, intensifying trade tensions between the U.S. and China. Despite a 90-day pause on tariffs for other nations, the escalation with China has unsettled investors, leading to today’s market volatility. Additionally, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report released earlier today indicated a slight cooling in inflation, with a 0.1% decrease in the headline CPI and a 0.1% increase in the core reading month-over-month, both below expectations. However, this positive economic indicator was overshadowed by concerns over the escalating trade conflict with China.
