🧩 A Repeatable Pattern:

🔴 Trump threatens → 📉 markets panic → 🟢 Trump backs down → 📈 markets rally.

This loop is now called the “TACO Trade” — a multi-day goldmine for traders: buy the dip, sell the recovery.

🧠 Why does this matter?

Consistent ‘buy-the-dip’ opportunities: Panic drops don’t last long.

Volatility cycles: These political triggers create trend opportunities without fundamental changes.

Institutional edge: Large players likely anticipate these cycles, understanding how to play political narratives.

📌 This post builds on our earlier take about how political moves often coincide with technical corrections — raising the question: coincidence, or controlled narrative?

❓What’s your take?

🔘 Yes, it's a calculated panic-to-rally recipe
🔘 No, just natural reaction to political risks
🔘 Institutions are pulling the strings
🔘 Still figuring it out — keeping an eye
