April 8, 2026

Good morning.

Last night changed everything.

Trump suspended Iran attacks for two weeks. The Strait of Hormuz reopens. Oil is cratering , down over 15% to $95 a barrel. Nasdaq futures are up 3.2%. Dow futures are up over 1,000 points. This is the explosive resolution we positioned for, and this morning the market is delivering exactly what momentum-based options trading is built to capture.

Our positions this morning:

TSLL and FSLY are all flying in premarket. WE always get asked about scaling out of positions, today is up to you.  We will work our targets and move from there.  Do not get greedy is my advice on openings like today!

Looking ahead:

This ceasefire opens one of the most powerful setups we have seen in years. Here is why:

Oil dropping 15% in a single session is a direct injection of capital back into tech, consumer discretionary, and growth stocks. The Nasdaq had been fighting the 200-day moving average all week. A gap open above it this morning — on massive volume — would be a significant technical breakout signal.

Warnings season kicks off this week. Delta reports this morning. The energy headwind that crushed airline and consumer estimates is now easing. Expect upside surprises across the board. Options premiums on earnings plays will be elevated — exactly our environment.

The Fed gets breathing room. Oil at $95 versus $115 changes the inflation conversation immediately. A more dovish Fed into Q2 is rocket fuel for the Nasdaq.

We are entering what we believe will be one of the most productive stretches for momentum options trading since late 2022. The setups are aligning across tech, AI infrastructure, and select small caps. TrendSearch XL is already identifying the next wave.

We are about to go in full attack mode soon enough.

Have a great open.
