Market performance for the near future

P

As of today, U.S. stock markets experienced a significant rebound. We’re in a period of high volatility with the markets going sideways with wild swings.

There are 3 main drivers to today’s rebound, trade tensions softening, the feds staying independent for now, and companies like Tesla boasting impressive -35% earning reports cementing positive sentiment from the shareholders.

Since the market can stay irrational longer than I can stay solvent, I decided to lean in my delusional side and do a tarot reading to decide my next trades, cause it might as well be technical analysis at this point

So here are the drawn cards :

First one : The Tower (La Maison Dieu) Reversed.
This being reversed signals a volatile shake-up avoided, but only for now. A precarious structure still stands, though cracks run deep beneath (think Intel losing 20% of its workforce for streamlining their process). In market terms: we’re seeing the façade of stability, but internals like overleveraged positions, frothy valuations, or ignored geopolitical risks threaten structural integrity. Momentum traders keep the rally alive, but insiders and institutional whales start hedging aggressively. Expect rising VIX soon.

Second card : The Hanged Man (Le Pendu).
This card reflects suspension, sacrifice, a shift in perspective and a mourning of our calls. The market may enter a stagnation phase, even a downturn, where previously bullish traders reassess positions. Momentum fades even as price holds, a classic trap before the drop. Smart money exits quietly. Retail still buying the dip.

Third card : The Moon (La Lune).
The Moon reveals confusion, illusion, and fear. Rumors, misread data, insider trading and emotional overreaction dominate. In technical terms, fuck our calls, and fuck our puts.

Combining each card : we get a market that seems to get better, but there are still looming problems that can’t be undone for now. This reading inspired by the divine tell us the market will continue the descent, preceded by a whole lot more of sideways with high volatility expected. Expect to see more panic selling from me
