⚠️ Warning, Prepare For Big ‘𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜’ (September 20th)

In Today’s Masters in Trading: Live LIVE: January Looks Quiet – It's Not! Here Are the 4 Catalysts to Watch January is one of the most catalyst-dense stretches of the quarter. But you wouldn’t know it looking at the markets right now. Right now, markets are trading as if January is a normal month. But I guarantee you there’s nothing normal about January. Volatility is being materially mispriced as I write to you. In fact, implied volatility is near local lows even while index ranges – from the S&P to the VIX – remain tight. You wouldn’t know there was anything up looking at the options market either. Options markets are pricing continuity and calm – not disruption. And that disruption? It’s not just one major market event tipping the scales. Right now, four major catalysts are set to wreak havoc – all while most investors’ backs are turned. This month alone, we have another jobs report with the potential to rock markets. Labor data feeds directly into rate expectations and front-end bond volatility. When volatility is underpriced, a strong or weak jobs report can tip the markets toward a bullish frenzy of bearish caution. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is also set to make a major policy announcement on January 31st. One outcome is clearly risk-on, the other is more disciplined and neutral short-term. But both imply higher volatility. And most essential for us? Markets will move before confirmation – not after. We’ve even got a monumental SCOTUS decision on the legality of the current tariff regime. Tariffs directly impact inflation expectations, margins, and global supply chains. Any ruling from here is an earnings and sector story – not just politics. And on top of all that, another round of earnings is right around the corner. That’s exactly when volatility shows up even if indexes looks quiet. Let me be clear. I’m not making a bearish or bullish call here. The opportunity lies in the market’s mispricing of the current moment. Our goal? We follow wherever the scales tip us. Volatility exposure matters more than picking direction. Sector selection matters more than index calls. Controlling those variables is exactly what we do here at Masters in Trading.
