everyone thinks it’s just the ‘tariffs’
that caused the market CRASH.
but they don’t understand what tariffs actually trigger
it’s not just “bad news”
it’s a domino
tariffs → cost of imports rise
cost of imports rise → corporate profits shrink
profits shrink → earnings forecasts get slashed
forecasts drop → investor sentiment dies
sentiment dies → people sell
fast
you get a market-wide dump not because of tariffs
but because of the ripple effects nobody calculates
and here’s what most don’t see:
algorithms don’t trade headlines
they trade reaction
liquidity disappears not on impact but when big money sees how retail reacts
the smart money pulled out days ago
they already rotated
they hedged
they positioned for max fear
because the charts said to
but you?
you waited for a CNBC headline
then panic sold after the 10% move
don’t blame tariffs
blame your lack of preparation
this is how the market moves
and it’s always deeper than you think
