2025 Trading Final Boss: Daily Market Manipulation, The New NormE-mini Nasdaq-100 FuturesCME_MINI:NQ1!kingdipsMarking this point in history because we'll likely forget and move on. During the early hours of the July 16th NYC session, we saw indices quickly flush ( NQ1! ES1! ) nearly 1% on the news that Trump will fire Jerome Powell. The dip was bought almost instantly. Shortly after the dip was bought (roughly 0.50% recovery), guess what? Trump announced, he is "not considering firing Jerome Powell". The dip then recovered and achieved a complete V to finish the day somewhat green. Make what you want of it but always use a stop loss in these tough conditions. Welcome to 2025 Trading Final Boss
