Two of the cleanest "Trump-mention" swing setups from the last 2 weeks — $BA and $C

Been tracking how price reacts when Trump or his inner circle name drop a public company, and the last two weeks served up two textbook swing setups. What made both worth taking wasn't just the mention, it was that each one had a clean technical structure and the catalyst landed right at the inflection point. Breakdowns below.

**$BA - Boeing (Double Bottom + Failed Breakdown Reversal)**

Boeing had been grinding lower into early June and printed a double bottom around the $209–210 zone. The part that made it tradeable was the retest. Instead of holding clean, price did a failed breakout to the downside, a quick poke below the $209 support that trapped breakdown sellers and then snapped right back above it. Classic bear trap / spring, and those reversals tend to run once the trapped shorts cover.

Right in the middle of that failed break (Jun 10, around 9:21 PM ET), Trump dropped a Truth Social post calling for a $350B reconciliation/military budget bill, saying it would help "dominate the skies with the F-47 and B-21." The F-47 (NGAD) is Boeing's program, so the market read it as a direct government-contract tailwind landing exactly as the chart was reclaiming support.

Entry the next morning off the $209 reclaim. It ran up to a high around $231.34, roughly +10% with the 5-day return sitting near +8.7%. Failed-breakdown reversal + catalyst at the low.

**$C – Citigroup (bullish wedge continuation, mention right before the breakout)**

Citi was the cleaner momentum play. On the daily it had recovered hard off the April lows and was coiling into an ascending wedge pressing right up against a prior high around $136. That structure is what made the trade manageable: the wedge gives you a clean line in the sand. Long on strength toward resistance, stop tucked just below the lower wedge trendline around $131. If price loses the wedge, the thesis is dead and you're out small.

The catalyst hit pre-market on Jun 10 (\~9:30 AM ET): Trump posted on Truth Social congratulating Jane Fraser and "Citi's people," noting CITI ranked #1 in M&A advisory by value in Q1 and calling it a big comeback.

Here's the part that tested patience, the first push higher after the mention actually failed. Price poked at resistance, got rejected, and fell back into the wedge. But it never came close to the stop below $131, so the trade stayed alive. The next day it firmed back up and finally broke out clean, then trended straight up toward the $146.5 area.

That's the lesson in this one: the stop placement under the wedge is what let the trade breathe through the false start. A tighter stop right under the breakout level would've gotten shaken out the day before the real move. Entry \~$134.98, target \~$146.5 (about +8.5%), risk to reward right around 2.88.

**Takeaway:** Neither of these worked because Trump tweeted, both had a real setup first (double-bottom reversal on BA, wedge continuation on C). The mention just provided the catalyst at the exact moment the chart needed one. That's the combo I'm hunting: structure + a timed catalyst, not the headline alone.

Anyone else track trump mentions for trade setup ideas?
