MARKET ALERT: We've entered uncharted territory! Trump's historic firing of Fed Governor Lisa Cook sent shockwaves through global markets overnight. Dollar futures whipsawing, gold spiking past $3,350, and crypto bleeding as BTC crashed through $110K support. This is NOT a drill - we're witnessing the most significant assault on Fed independence in 111 years. Tomorrow's session will test whether markets can hold ahead of Wednesday's make-or-break NVIDIA earnings.

๐จ BOTTOM LINE
The Situation: We're at a historic inflection point. Trump's Fed coup attempt changes everything - rate cuts are coming faster than expected, but market stability is now in question. Wednesday's NVIDIA earnings will determine if tech can lead us higher or if we're heading for a correction.
The Opportunity: Volatility creates millionaires. Today's chaos is tomorrow's profit if you position correctly. Focus on quality setups (OKTA, MDB), hedge your bets, and prepare for NVDA's binary outcome.
Trade the chaos. Bank the profits. Join the DCG revolution.
