📊 WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR MONDAY'S TRADING SESSION

The Setup: Markets are experiencing a historic breakout as the Nikkei 225 crosses 50,000 for the first time ever, fueled by breaking news of a US-China trade framework agreement. S&P 500 futures are up +0.82%, Nasdaq futures surging +1.2%, with global markets rallying on optimism that the trade war is finally de-escalating.

The Catalyst: President Trump and Chinese President Xi have reached an "early consensus" on trade negotiations, with Treasury Secretary Bessent confirming the 100% China tariff threat is "basically off the table." This breakthrough sent shockwaves through overnight markets, creating massive momentum heading into Monday's session.

The Opportunity: We're seeing money rotate back into risk assets across the board - tech, semis, energy, and crypto all showing explosive pre-market action. Bitcoin trading at $115,280, up 3% on whale accumulation. This is a high-conviction bullish setup with multiple confirming catalysts.

🎯 TRADE RATINGS SUMMARY

⚠️ RISK MANAGEMENT & POSITION SIZING

Rules for Monday:

1. No position should be more than 5% of portfolio (except core holdings)

2. Use 2% stop losses on all day trades

3. Take 50% profit at first target, let runners ride with trailing stops

4. Maximum 3-5 positions - quality over quantity

5. Cash is a position - if setup isn't there, don't force trades

What Could Go Wrong:

• Trade deal optimism is overdone (talks could still fail)

• Fed could disappoint Wednesday

• Profit-taking into overbought conditions

• Geopolitical wild card (North Korea meeting, Russia/Ukraine)

Protection Strategy:

• Consider hedging with SPY puts (Nov 1 expiration $675 strike)

• VIX calls if VIX stays below 16

• Trailing stops on ALL positions

🌟 BOTTOM LINE: THE WEEK AHEAD

This is a HIGH CONVICTION bullish setup with multiple confirming catalysts:

✅ US-China trade deal framework (biggest development in months)
 ✅ Japan market hitting all-time highs (global confidence signal)
 ✅ Fed rate cut 95% priced in for Wednesday
 ✅ Tech earnings/events remain strong (NVDA GTC)
 ✅ Seasonal tailwinds (November historically strong)
 ✅ Technical breakout from consolidation

However, remain nimble. These are parabolic conditions which can reverse quickly. Trail your stops, take profits when you have them, and don't get greedy.

The opportunity is NOW. Monday's gap up is your entry for the week-long rally into Fed decision and month-end. Position accordingly.
