The Markets Are In turmoil what's going on?
Now yes, this is micro compared to the overall picture where prices will eventually go back up as they always do. However these micros can open up a lot of opportunity but can also crush some businesses, companies, blockchains etc. So they are still important to watch and figure out what's going on as these can be pivotal shifts overall.
Yesterday the Dow drop nearly 900 points and so far today we are already look at nearly another 300 points whipping out over 1,000 points within 24 hours. That would be looked at as one major correction.
Now while this looks bad you have to realize that these things happen all the time. The last major rout like this was September of 2022 when the Down went from 32,151 to 28,700 over that month. But still that's not as sharp of a correction like we just had and had seen before this in Jan 2025.
So what's sparking all of this and why is it happening?
Is it some grand master plan with a goal and vision behind it all?
The answer to that is actully a surprising yes and in this article I'd like to take a look into it with you. It's also important to note and I'll say this most likely a few times is that things will most likely get worse before they get better. We could be looking at roughly 6 months if not a bit longer of rocket markets for both crypto and the stock market but that's actully to build a solid base layer for what Trump is trying to do. Like it or hate it that's fine I'm not here to take sides simply report so we can all learn and make more money!
The Perfect Storm
One of the biggest things that is currently hammering the markets are Trump Tariffs. Each time these have been said they were going to go into affect they got paused and the markets rallied again. This is a cycle that has now happened twice just this year.
Trump issues they will add tariffs on goods from other countries at a certain date, the markets then crash and then slowly recover. Then Tariffs go into effect for real and the markets sink once again. But then a few days later an agreement is made between the two countries that pauses these tariffs and the cycle starts all over again.
Mainly what this is, is trump using them as negotiation tools against countries that yes have been abusing the USA for a while now and it's honestly totally ok and acceptable to force out better deals with these countries that are more in favor with the USA. I think we can all agree there's not only a major drug issue in this country but also a major immigration issue as well.
My stance on immigration will always be if you come into the country legally, have a solid background check and have not committed crimes then you can be allowed in. Otherwise cya! Otherwise letting in to many criminals will slowly start to rot the USA at its core and pretty much set the stage for it to be over taken from within.
Now most of these were expected not to hold really but there are two new ones coming up tomorrow that most likely will stick and those are a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports. I remember the day (way back in the day) when I used to go by the Bethlehem steel mill in PA and it was shut down a few years later that was a big blow to the local economy and it was sad to see major places like that go. It would be awesome to see some of those start to return.
Outside of that Canada is set to have a 250% tariff on dairy products and lumber. Now while dairy I can understand the lumber one has me confused. Why wouldn't you want to suck the resources out of another country first before tapping into your own? Perhaps I'm looking at that one wrong so if I am someone give me the other viewpoint of why that's a good idea.
Now things do swing both ways as Canada fired back issuing 25% tariffs on energy to places like New York. and let me just say those places are already crazy power hungry. From what I can find it's roughly around 24-25 cents per KWh there which is just mind blowing. Slap another 25% now on top of that and you'll be paying roughly 30-31 cents per KWh a pretty hearty price increase for power.
China also hit back with 15% tariffs on farm products from the USA. So so far there's not too much positive going on here overall.
This will cause most likely higher prices, lower GDP and a possible recession and things get much worse.
But what if there was something else behind this all? This is where it gets good... and will be coming soon in my next article!

tariffs, uncertainty, market crashes, this retaliation from other countries, this losing the face throughout the world, all-together is creating a volatile and unpredictable economic environment. curious about this 'something else' behind it all. could it be something like an effort to bring interest rates down so US Debts can be paid?
Until the tarrif war is over the market will still be volatile
that part, let's wait and see :)

Thing are going to get very interesting. The US has every right to level the playing field because they have been getting the bad end of the deal for years. On immigration I couldn't agree more, any criminal background and it's a no go. Right now there are thousands of violent criminals from other countries who came in illegally and people are dying.
Now the concept of levelling the playing field and eliminating income tax is fascinating, and I think it would stimulate the economy enough that import fees along could pay the government expenses. We'll see if they can make it happen!
The way I see it we just need to wait after August to see some significant green before this market cycle is over that I think might be at the end of the year....will the four year cycle play the same way again?? I hope so ✌️ in the meantime Im just powering up every day
Hey man ,,, is everything OK on your side of things?

The data speaks for itself. We only expose what is already on the Hive Blockchain, as we’ve repeatedly told @themarkymark & Co—all they need to do is STOP.
SO PLEASE STOP. It’s time to do the right thing for Hive and its community. Why not just power down and go? Let Hive be free—you add nothing to Hive.
THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING—THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU.
PLEASE STOP.
@themarkymark, Can You Explain Why the Bilpcoin Team’s Accounts Are on Your Blacklist?
@themarkymark We understand you’re a fan of data—so are we. After all, data is king, and when it comes to blockchain, transactions don’t lie and can’t be changed.
