Day 23 — Tariff Day + AI Disruption Fears: Tight Conditions, Fast Traps

DAY 23 — Tariffs Are Live, AI Fear Is Back (Trade Confirmation Only)

Live snapshot (this morning):

Dow: 48,789.46 (-0.01%)

S&P 500: 6,832.89 (-0.06%)

Nasdaq: 22,635.01 (+0.02%)

10Y yield: around 4.03% (steady).

Bitcoin: dropped below $65K, around $63,331 (-3.6%).

Gold: about $5,174/oz (down >1% after a 3-week high) as the dollar firms and traders take profits.

Oil: near 7-month highs (Brent ~$71.87, WTI ~$66.71) on U.S.–Iran tension ahead of talks.

What’s moving the market today:

New U.S. 10% tariff is now in effect (policy uncertainty remains about whether it later becomes 15%).

AI disruption fears are hitting risk appetite again (risk-off pressure on crypto + some equity sectors).

Geopolitics (U.S.–Iran) is keeping oil elevated, which can keep markets jumpy.

How we trade it today (simple rules):

No chasing candles.

Wait for break + close + retest on your level (COINBASE:BTCUSD).

Trade smaller until the market proves direction.

Question: Are you trading smaller today because it’s an event tape, or waiting for confirmation before taking any setup?
