Monday’s market action was driven by a dramatic shift from weak pre-market conditions to a sharp rally fueled by a large trade placed just before a Trump social media post. Stocks surged, with the Dow up over 1,000 points and crude oil dropping sharply, ending the day down nearly 9%.
Despite higher closes in major indices, the underlying chart patterns remain negative. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ failed to hold gains, closing below their highs and key moving averages, while volatility remains elevated. The overall trend is still bearish, with limited enthusiasm from professional buyers.
