#Gate广场四月发帖挑战 True Market Genius! After the temporary ceasefire, Trump won again, causing a massive reversal in global markets, with the TACO trades confirming 12 times
Markets have never lacked myths, but only Trump has managed to turn global capital into his personal ATM. The US-Iran conflict was about to spiral out of control, but in the last 88 minutes, an extreme ceasefire was reached, causing a sudden global asset reversal—oil prices plummeted, stocks surged wildly. This isn’t luck; it’s the TACO pattern Wall Street has mastered—over the past 14 months, he’s been said to back down at least 12 times at the last moment, each time causing markets to crash first and then explode higher. Those who follow the rhythm profit immensely; latecomers can only regret missing out.
1. The Last 88-Minute Reversal: Sudden Ceasefire Sparks Global Rally No one expected the Middle East situation to halt so abruptly. The day before, Trump had issued tough threats, saying Iran would face destruction if it didn’t compromise. As the deadline approached, global markets trembled—oil soared past $110, stocks plunged, with Japan’s Nikkei down over 13% in March, Korea’s KOSPI down 6%, and China’s A-shares under pressure. Everyone thought war was unavoidable. But at 6:32 PM Eastern Time on April 7, just 88 minutes before the deadline, Trump suddenly announced a two-week ceasefire, accepting Pakistan’s mediation, and Iran agreed to safely open the Strait of Hormuz.
The moment the news broke, markets exploded. Crude futures tumbled sharply—Brent and WTI both dropped over 15%, breaking below $100. Asia-Pacific stocks surged—Nikkei up over 5%, KOSPI up 6% triggering a circuit breaker, China’s three major indices opened higher, with the ChiNext jumping 3%. Gold and silver surged against the trend—gold topped $4,800 per ounce, silver up over 6%. US stock futures rose 2%, cryptocurrencies also rallied—Bitcoin and Ethereum moved higher together. From panic to euphoria in just one night, this super reversal showcased Trump’s market magic at its best.
2. TACO Trades Go Viral! 12 Confirmations in 14 Months, Trump’s Tactics Are Exposed This isn’t the first time, nor is it accidental. Wall Street has already given Trump’s moves a name—TACO, short for Trump Always Chickens Out. The logic is simple: first, make tough threats to create crises—tariffs, war threats, intimidation—causing markets to panic and assets to crash; then, when prices fall enough, he suddenly relents, crisis averted, and markets rebound sharply, allowing capital to profit handsomely.
In April 2025, right after taking office, Trump imposed reciprocal tariffs, causing global stocks to plunge. A week later, he suddenly paused, and the S&P 500 surged 14% in a month. In May, threatening a 50% tariff on the EU, markets fell again, then he delayed, and US stocks soared again. In January 2026, he threatened Europe over Greenland, causing a $1 trillion market wipeout, then quickly retreated, and indices recovered. With this recent Middle East ceasefire, over the past 14 months, such TACO trades have occurred at least 12 times. The pattern is always the same: tough talk → market crash → sudden compromise → violent rebound.
Markets went from initial panic to gradually understanding the pattern. Now, as long as Trump issues tough statements, funds dare to buy the dip, betting he’ll back down in the end—TACO has become Wall Street’s most reliable profit secret.
3. Being Called a Market Genius Isn’t for Nothing—Trump Always Hits the Market Pulse Precisely Calling Trump a market genius isn’t an exaggeration. He understands market sentiment deeply and knows how to manipulate capital with policy moves, always hitting key turning points.
In April 2025, during tariff fears, he tweeted on social media four hours ahead that it was a good time to buy, then announced a delay, causing his companies’ stocks to soar 22% that day, earning $415 million in a single day. Despite insider trading accusations, he paid no mind. Whether it’s trade wars or geopolitical conflicts, every time he changes course, it aligns perfectly with market turning points. When markets fear decline, he triggers panic; when they want to rally, he delivers positive news, controlling global capital sentiment tightly. Some say he’s unpredictable; others criticize him for flip-flopping. But in the eyes of capital, this is the clearest profit signal— the fiercer his threats, the better the buying opportunity; once he eases up, it’s time to harvest. Over 14 months, 12 TACO trades, each confirmed—follow his rhythm, and profits are almost guaranteed.
4. Market Logic Has Changed—TACO Becomes a New Investment Consensus How should ordinary investors respond?
After 12 validations, TACO is no longer a niche guess but a consensus among global investors. The market logic has shifted: Trump’s tough talk = short-term negative = buying opportunity; Trump’s easing = positive confirmation = rebound begins.
For ordinary investors, don’t overthink his motives or predict the war’s course—just follow the TACO pattern:
1. Watch Trump’s tough statements, especially on trade and geopolitics; a short-term market dip after such signals is an opportunity.
2. Focus on key moments—like this last-minute reversal before the deadline—often the trigger for a rebound.
3. Prioritize oversold assets, such as stocks during conflicts, shipping sectors, and energy stocks recovering after risk aversion. But stay alert—TACO is a phase pattern, not a permanent rule. The Middle East ceasefire lasts only two weeks, and negotiations remain uncertain. If tensions escalate again, markets will fluctuate. But at least for now, Trump once again proves he’s the true market genius—over the past 14 months, 12 last-minute retreats, each sparking a super reversal. Love him or hate him, it’s undeniable—Trump’s market magic is unmatched.
Next time he issues tough talk, don’t panic—remember, that’s a TACO signal, and another opportunity may be on the way.
