A top 5 day on Friday is followed by an uncertain, risky, and suddenly bearish market environment as another war began over the weekend.

I am long, partially hedged, but will add more hedges & liquidate some LONG positions..

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin:
"Today, in response to this Hamas attack on Israel, and following detailed discussions with President Biden, I have directed several steps to strengthen Department of Defense posture in the region to bolster regional deterrence efforts," Austin said.

"I have directed the movement of the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group to the Eastern Mediterranean."

A possibility - another day of DOWN HARD followed by huge reversal. I will close LONGS if that happens:

Remember that the market is led by robots, and they don't care about Israel/Palestine. They care about the bond market being closed, the dollar running out of gas, and oversold technicals. Don't be surprised to see stock futures reversing and turning positive tomorrow.

TLT...so far so good...just need to clear the 5 min now around 85.80

 

If this is the big turn, could be one of the better swing trades for next 30 day or more.

 

Meanwhile, have we just about hit max pain on mortgage rates for now?
