Good morning MonsterTrades!
We’re kicking off the week with a very active overnight session that carried into premarket. Futures reversed sharply after President Trump posted on Truth Social that he has ordered a five-day pause on military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure following two days of what he described as “very good” discussions with Iran.
The reaction was immediate — ES was down roughly 60 points less than an hour earlier and then surged nearly +180 points. That type of move shows how headline-driven this market remains and how quickly sentiment can shift.
If this development continues to hold and gains traction, it could signal the start of the next phase higher, very similar to the transition we saw moving into April last year. For now, this remains a wait-and-see environment. If the pause holds and tensions continue to ease, we could be looking at a solid floor forming with significant upside runway ahead. There’s no need to chase — patience is key, and we’ll look to be aggressive when the setup confirms.

While the past four weeks have been challenging, markets often reward patience after periods of pressure. The opportunity ahead is building, and staying disciplined now will position us well for what comes next.
