šŸŒ” How Patience Turned $3.96 into a $200,000 Windfall

When everyone was jumping into QBTS during the initial hype cycle, My community was watching from the sidelines. While others were FOMO-buying at inflated prices, we were studying the fundamentals and waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

"The stock market is basically just a simulation of patient people taking money from impatient people."

Finding the Smart Money

Our initial interest in QBTS wasn't random. We spotted BlackRock's investment in this quantum computing companyā€”a clear signal that smart money was backing this play. The quantum computing sector has massive growth potential, but timing is everything.

Instead of rushing in with the crowd, we waited for the hype to cool and the price to settle into a strong demand zone. This patienceā€”something most traders lackā€”became our greatest weapon.

The Perfect Entry

When we finally How Patience Turned $3.96 into a $200,000 Windfall, we had multiple factors aligning perfectly:

  • Strong area of demand

  • Liquidity grab setup

  • Exceptional risk/reward ratio

  • Diminished hype allowing for reasonable valuation

This disciplined approach has now resulted in nearly $200,000 in profits on a single trade. We're still holding 25% of our position because QBTS continues to show up on trading screens and has potential to go parabolic.

Looking Forward

With Nvidia hosting their quantum day event on March 20th, we could see significant price movement as the market recognizes the potential catalyst. This is exactly the kind of fundamental + technical setup we look for.

"You really don't need many trades to become a millionaire in this space. Really, you only need a couple good ones."

šŸ“ˆ Whatā€™s Moving Markets Today?

šŸ”„ Fed in Focus: Market Holding Its Breath

The marketā€™s in a holding pattern this morning, and for good reasonā€”all eyes are on the Fed. Stocks are tiptoeing higher as traders await the central bankā€™s latest policy decision. Will Powell hold firm, or is a rate cut coming sooner than expected?

šŸ“Œ Key Market Moves:

  • šŸ“ˆ S&P 500 Futures: Up 0.2% ahead of the announcement

  • šŸ’» Nasdaq 100 Futures: Gaining 0.2%, bouncing from Tuesdayā€™s sell-off

  • šŸ› Dow Futures: Up 0.1%, staying cautious before Powell speaks

The Fed is expected to hold rates steady at 4.25%-4.50%, but traders care more about the tone of Powellā€™s comments. Will he hint at rate cuts coming later this year, or keep up the ā€œhigher for longerā€ stance? With markets already pricing in 60 basis points of cuts for 2024, any deviation from that narrative could send stocks spinning.

šŸ‡¹šŸ‡· Turkish Markets in Turmoil

If you needed more geopolitical drama, Turkey just delivered. Ekrem Imamoglu, the mayor of Istanbul and the main rival to President Tayyip Erdogan, was arrested on corruption charges. The opposition party is calling it a ā€œcoup attemptā€, and the markets arenā€™t taking it well.

šŸ“Œ Market Fallout:

  • šŸ“‰ BIST 100 Index: Plunged 7% on the news

  • šŸ’ø Turkish Lira: Collapsed over 10% against the U.S. dollar

  • šŸ”„ Political Risk: Imamoglu was poised to be Erdoganā€™s main challenger in the next election

This is a huge deal. Erdogan has ruled Turkey for two decades, and now that heā€™s hit his term limit, he either needs to change the constitution or call an early election to stay in power. Investors hate this kind of uncertainty. Expect Turkish assets to stay volatile as this political chess game unfolds.

šŸ¦ The Global Central Bank Parade Begins

Itā€™s not just the Fed making moves this week. A whole lineup of global central banks are stepping up to the plate, starting with the Bank of Japan.

šŸ“Œ Whatā€™s Happening?

  • šŸ‡ÆšŸ‡µ Bank of Japan: Kept rates unchanged at 0.5%, waiting to see how U.S. tariffs impact Japanā€™s export-heavy economy

  • šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§ Bank of England: Expected to stay hawkish, watching inflation closely

  • šŸ‡ØšŸ‡­ Swiss National Bank & Swedenā€™s Riksbank: Meeting later this week

  • šŸ‡ØšŸ‡³ Peopleā€™s Bank of China: Will Beijing step in to support the economy?

Markets are jittery. With the Fed, BoJ, and other central banks all weighing in, expect some big swings in currencies, bonds, and global equities.

šŸ›¢ļø Oil Drops as Russia Backs Off Attacks

In a rare moment of de-escalation, Russia agreed to stop attacking Ukrainian energy facilities for 30 days. The deal came after a call between Trump and Putin, and while itā€™s not a full ceasefire, itā€™s enough to cool off oil prices.

šŸ“Œ Oil Market Reaction:

  • šŸ›¢ļø Brent Crude: Down 0.8% to $70.03 per barrel

  • ā›½ WTI Crude: Slipped 0.8% to $66.22 per barrel

  • šŸ¤ U.S.-Russia Talks: If things progress, sanctions could ease on Russian oil exports

A weaker oil market could be good news for inflation, but donā€™t get too comfortableā€”this agreement is fragile. If tensions flare back up, crude could spike back over $75 fast.

šŸŽ¢ The Takeaway: Volatility Ahead

With the Fedā€™s decision looming, political chaos in Turkey, and oil prices reacting to geopolitics, traders should buckle up.

šŸ“Œ What to Watch:

  • šŸ¦ Fed Decision: Powellā€™s tone will set the marketā€™s direction

  • šŸ‡¹šŸ‡· Turkeyā€™s Crisis: Political fallout could spill into emerging markets

  • šŸ›¢ļø Oil Volatility: A ceasefire is good for now, but donā€™t count on stability

Markets thrive on uncertainty, and today is serving up plenty of it. Trade accordingly.

Stay ahead, stay informed, and most importantly, stay profitable.

ā€˜til next time,
