THREAD🧵 $CRWV – Institutional Flow Storm Incoming

What happened today wasn't retail noise. It was wall-to-wall positioning. Here's the breakdown of what you're not supposed to see 👇 $900M+ in options flow.

Over 430K contracts traded & it wasn’t random.
🔹 Deep ITM calls
🔹 0DTE + 1DTE chasers
🔹 Multi-million dollar July + LEAPS sweeps
🔹 Synthetic long exposure through structured combos

This is dealer pinball not retail gambling.

THREAD 🧵: Did Trump Plan the Tariff Block to Pump the Market?

Yes. It wasn’t a mistake.
It was a calculated move.

Trump likely knew the tariffs would get blocked and he used it to his advantage.

Here’s how 👇@zerohedge

Trump used a legally flimsy tool:
The 1977 IEEPA. No president had ever used it for global tariffs.

It was a legal Hail Mary and everyone in D.C. knew it.

But Trump doesn’t need it to win in court. He needs it to move narratives and markets. @APompliano @FinanceLancelot

How Smart Money Tips Its Hand

The market doesn’t shout. It whispers. But price and volume tell the truth if you know how to listen.

👇 The Order Book Is Not the Market

That bid stack? Might be a spoof.
That spread? Could be auto-widened by an MM algo.

🧵 $GME is loading a gamma squeeze. Here's the trigger levels, and how to play it:

This isn’t just meme hype. The options data is lit.

Calls > puts in volume. Gamma exposure is stacking hard at $30–$35. Dealers are on the hook if we reclaim key levels. 🎯 Trigger Zones:

$30 = ignition point
$32.50 = max call wall
$35 = gamma magnet
$37.50–$40 = blowoff zone

Once $30 reclaims, dealers flip from sellers to buyers. That’s your window.

THREAD 🧵 Everyone’s watching candles. But real traders are watching FLOW.

The difference between a random breakout and a 6-figure swing?
→ Structure
→ Dealer positioning
→ Macro tailwinds
Here’s how I build high-conviction trades while most chase noise:👇 Forget Patterns. Master RRC.

This 3-step system filters noise and gets you into real moves:

✅ Reclaim
✅ Retest
✅ Continuation

No reclaim = no trade.
No retest = no size.
No continuation = get out.
It's not price action. It's positioning action.

THREAD 🧵 Most traders don’t understand how capital flows actually move markets.

They stare at charts. They obsess over Fed speak, but they miss the game behind the game.Let’s fix that. Here is a quick flow lesson for the new macro regime.

https://twitter.com/mikalche/status/1915880142271898065

Markets don’t move because buyers like the chart.

They move because of structural flows. These flows are driven by:

-Policy shifts
-Geopolitics
-Risk premiums
-Dealer positioning
-Currency liquidity

THREAD🧵The Real Macro Game & How Institutions Trade the Fed

Everyone’s watching Powell.
But most have no idea how real money trades macro catalysts.

Let’s pull back the curtain.👇 Institutions don’t YOLO. They front-run structure. The playbook:

-Front-run expectations before the event
-Fade retail overreaction during the press conference
-Reposition for duration in futures, curves, vol

It’s not “buy or sell.” It’s rebalance exposure across timeframes.

THREAD🧵FOMC Preview – May 7

Powell walks into a trap.
Sticky inflation.
Slowing growth.
A market addicted to dovish pivots.

What happens tomorrow will set the tone for the next leg in $SPX $SPY $QQQ $ES $NQ and rates.
Here’s what to expect 👇 The Macro Setup Is Getting Fragile

– Trade deficit blew out to -$140.5B
– Economic optimism back below 50
– Retail still hot → Redbook +6.9%
– Strong demand for 10Y auction = flight to safety
– Volatility underpriced, gamma still negative under 5700

The tape looks fine. Underneath? Cracks.

THREAD🧵 How Long Will It Take Trump to Rebuild the U.S. Economy?

Trump @realDonaldTrump says America is about to roar back.

Peter Schiff @PeterSchiff says Q1 GDP was -0.3%, so it’s already failing.

Most people think this is just another typical election cycle. It’s not. The U.S. is entering a full-blown industrial realignment — tariffs, capital flight, redomiciling, rearming, and regime-level volatility.

This thread breaks it down and shows who wins, who loses, and how long it takes:👇 Phase 1 The Shock (2025)

Tariffs spike

GDP contracts on paper (import pull-forward)

Media panic. Markets whip.

But this is just the teardown phase. It’s by design.
You don’t build a new system without blowing up the old one first. @elonmusk Knows this first hand.

THREAD🧵 You laughed when I said tariffs would ignite a macro firestorm.

Now:
-60% China shipments
$2 trillion retail hit
Mass SMB failures brewing

Structural ignition wasn’t a theory.
It was a warning.

Buckle up.👇 China Container Bookings DOWN 60% in 3 Weeks. Not a typo.

Flexport data confirms a sudden stop in shipments as 145% tariffs hit.

The entire flow of goods into America is seizing up in real-time.

THREAD 🧵 Trump Just Triggered the Next Macro Regime And Markets Are Reacting

What you're seeing is NOT random.

As I have been saying, It’s the early phase of a structural shift in global capital flows, inflation expectations, and U.S. industrial policy.

Here’s what traders need to know: 👇 Trump’s Tariff Roadmap = Monetary Shock 2.0

-Baseline 10% tariff on all imports
-China facing effective 54%+ rate
-De Minimis exemption nuked
-National security tied to trade access

This isn't trade policy — it’s economic warfare.

🧵 This Is How the Real Money Trades Macro (Not What You Learned on YouTube)

Most traders chase candles.
Macro traders chase flows.

This thread will teach you the art of trading policy, volatility, and power. 👇 Macro Isn’t About News — It’s About Positioning

By the time you hear it on CNBC, it's already priced in.
Macro alpha comes from understanding:
-Who must buy?
-Who must hedge?
-What can't be ignored?

🧵This isn’t a bounce. It’s structural ignition.

Macro risk softened
Flow flipped
Structure cleared
Shorts trapped

You’re watching a full re-rating off the bottom.

And it’s being driven by positioning + narrative shift, not just chart lines. Why This Is Happening (Macro + Flow):

Tariff Tone Shift (Pause)
→ Trump just authorized a 90-day tariff pause
→ That immediately reduced escalation risk
→ The market read it as a potential de-escalation path

Result: Volatility crushed → liquidity returns → risk assets get bid

2010 Flash Crash: 36 Minutes of Pure Market Chaos

May 6, 2010 2:32 PM ET.
The Dow drops nearly 1,000 points in minutes
a $1 trillion wipeout.

No warning. No news. Just freefall.

Here’s what really happened—and why it matters more than ever in 2025 🧵 This wasn’t a dip. It was price vacuum.

$PG printed in the $30s. $ACN Accenture traded at $0.01.
$SPY nuked. Market makers vanished.

Liquidity? Gone.
Everyone froze.

🧵To retail traders on tariffs, volatility, and the brutal truth about this market.

You wanted clarity.
You got chaos.
Now you’re frozen, scrolling, second-guessing, waiting for someone to call the next move.

But here’s the truth:🧵 You’re asking the wrong question:

It’s not:

“Are tariffs bullish or bearish?”
It’s:
“What is this signaling? What’s the second-order effect? Where does the money go next?”

Because this isn’t about headlines. It’s about leverage.

TL;DR:

This isn’t chaos. It’s leverage.
It’s not the absence of a plan — it is the plan.

Strategic ambiguity, tariffs, and pressure aren’t bugs.
They’re the tools.

Let’s break it down — 🧵 No U.S. President gives granular roadmaps.

-Reagan didn’t publish a USSR “reset” doc.
-Clinton didn’t pre-brief NAFTA rollouts.
-Obama didn’t release capex models for the Iran deal.

Presidents govern with posture, not PDFs.

Most people misunderstand tariffs because the dominant economic narrative that is being pushed or misunderstood. This is being pushed by free-trade advocates, emphasizes how tariffs supposedly "raise consumer prices." 🧵 Tariffs lead to greater domestic production, job creation, & lower prices over time. Tariffs often reduce prices in the long run increasing domestic competition, driving innovation, & eliminating greedy foreign practices that artificially lower prices before monopolizing markets
