The Futures dropped sharply, with even oil down 2.4% and the S&amp;P 500 plunging as much as 3% after-hours. This tariff crash necessitates a trading plan. After setting the context, I will explore a few scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What surprised me most was the market&#8217;s apparent lack of preparation for bad news. Despite months\u2014if not a year\u2014of telegraphing these tariff plans, investors failed to price in the associated risks. The market  even first rallied when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/trumps-tariffs-plan-rolls-today-111134857.html\">Trump started with news about a 10% baseline tariff against all countries<\/a>. This behavior underscores a key pricing risk in the market: with unstable and changing policies that includes the prospect of retaliatory actions from across the globe, it may be difficult for markets to properly price in downside risks. Countries like <strong>Vietnam<\/strong>, which will be significantly affected, may impact companies like Nike (NKE) that depend on their manufacturing base. The EU is already planning countermeasures. Canada and Mexico\u2019s responses are still evolving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this disarray, I emphasize: do not panic. Selling into an oversold market\u2014particularly in the major indices\u2014is a poor trading strategy. While there are individual stocks with poor fundamentals that may warrant selling at any time, selling index exposure in the middle of a sharp drawdown is typically the wrong timing. The appropriate time to sell was earlier\u2014like at the 200DMA breakdown\u2014not when prices are collapsing and emotions are peaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I spent time scrolling through CNBC and Yahoo Finance headlines, and the tone of those stories\u2014words like <em>shock<\/em>, <em>worse than the worst-case scenario<\/em>, and <em>punishing tariffs<\/em>\u2014reflects the lack of preparation of  analysts and commentators. Even a piece by a CNBC Pro commentator described the tariffs as worse than their downside base case. Some market participants hoped negotiations would lessen the blow or that Trump would not follow through. Thus, the headlines are fueling the potential for panic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So again, I urge you: do not panic. Instead, have a trading plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1196033822186410\" data-ad-slot=\"3478942445\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><br>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Stock Market Indices<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>S&amp;P 500 (SPY)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 gave a false sense of stability, gapping down and rallying to gains in <a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2025\/03\/31\/was-today-finally-a-capitulation-day-the-market-breadth\/\">a sign of capitulation by sellers<\/a>.

Thus, the price action will remain subject to sharp disruptions. The conventional bear market definition at 20% below all-time highs creates a late signal.

My favorite technical indicator dropped as low as 22.6% before rallying. AT50 approached the oversold threshold but avoided touching the March low. This kind of higher low could be the beginning of a sustainable low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The volatility index (<strong>VIX)<\/strong> gapped higher at the open but faded sharply all day. However, the VIX still closed with a gain. Since the VIX did not gap at least to its previous high, the morning&#8217;s open is not as strong a capitulation moment as I would like. A &#8220;turnaround Tuesday&#8221; with strong follow-through buying would increase my confidence in a capitulation-type low.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/5BcvfXnd\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/5BcvfXnd\/\" alt=\"The volatility index (VIX) surged 16%, returning to elevated territory and looks likely to retest prior highs amid tariff-driven volatility.\" title=\"volatility index (VIX)\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>The VIX failed to spike on the previous capitulation attempt but is expected to gap up significantly; a spike followed by a plunge would confirm a short-term bottom.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>My Tariff Crash Trading Plan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I built my trading plan around avoiding emotional reactions and making methodical decisions based on technical indicators, particularly during market extremes. My goal is not to predict what happens next, but to map out scenarios and execute if specific signals appear according to <a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/t2108-resource-page\/\">the AT50 trading rules<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the market reaches official oversold conditions &#8211; with AT50 dropping to 20% or below &#8211; then my short-term trading call can flip from cautiously bullish to bullish. While I might also use this opportunity to make long-term investments, I have to apply careful risk management given the bear market. In other words, I execute short-term trades in anticipation of selling into the next bounce out of oversold conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The VIX plays an important part of the trading plan at these levels. During Monday&#8217;s possible capitulation day, the VIX did not spike to previous highs, weakening the overall capitulation signal. I am now watching for either a gap up in the VIX to its prior highs or, ideally, a spike above 35 followed by a sharp decline. If the market delivers both AT50 oversold (below 20%) and a VIX spike followed by a plunge, then this powerful combination will trigger bullish trades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How I Trade Shares and Options in This Trading Plan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In extreme conditions like these, I manage risk carefully. For example, I buy shares in small amounts in anticipation of the potential to accumulate more at lower prices. I only buy shares in companies that give me high confidence and conviction. This is NOT the time for wild speculation like the traders whipping around recent IPO Newsmax (NMAX): up 492% day 1, up 179% day 2, and down 77% day 3. Yikes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For options, I mainly trade spreads\u2014either vertical, calendar, or diagonal. Why? Because option premiums explode higher during volatility spikes, and buying straight calls can easily backfire. Even if the stock moves in the expected direction, an implosion in implied volatility can significantly erode gains and even cause losses. I learned these lessons the hard way. With spreads, I reduce exposure to inflated volatility premiums and maintain better control of my risk\/reward profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note well &#8211; I do not predict bottoms. The AT50 trading rules are about identify good risk\/reward trading rules at and near market extremes. Trades represent reactions and do not form (explicit) predictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Historical and Structural Context<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the immediate setup, I have reflected on the long-term chart of the S&amp;P 500. The market\u2019s long uptrend has created a widespread belief that stocks always go up in the &#8220;long-term&#8221;. This is a byproduct of a global economic order that supported this growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that order is ending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about this: the S&amp;P 500 has experienced extended periods in the past of going nowhere for long stretches of time, such as from the early or mid 1960s to 1982, and again from 2000 to 2013. If the global economy is truly getting restructured right before our eyes, then the market may enter another long-term trading range as prices and expectations adjust. In other words, if the economic order is much different than the past, then past relationships are likely to fail. Traders and investors alike cannot take one pattern from the past and assume it will apply for a current condition. We must all remain vigilant, strategic and prepared for churn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250330_SPY-SP-500-monthly-showing-market-realities.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1510\" height=\"837\" src=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250330_SPY-SP-500-monthly-showing-market-realities.png\" alt=\"The S&amp;P 500 (SPY) - a long-term winner interrupted by long periods of frustration.\" class=\"wp-image-73521\" title=\"The S&amp;P 500 (SPY) - a long-term winner interrupted by long periods of frustration.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250330_SPY-SP-500-monthly-showing-market-realities.png 1510w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250330_SPY-SP-500-monthly-showing-market-realities-768x426.png 768w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250330_SPY-SP-500-monthly-showing-market-realities-1320x732.png 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1510px) 100vw, 1510px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>The S&amp;P 500 (SPY) &#8211; a long-term winner interrupted by long periods of frustration.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Valuation Concerns<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at valuation metrics, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.multpl.com\/shiller-pe\">the Shiller P\/E ratio<\/a>, the market remains richly valued even after the recent drawdown.

Starting a month ago, I paid closer attention to Bessent&#8217;s policy pronouncements. They are very educational and revealing. I pulled the following passages from the transcript of the interview with some editing help from ChatGPT&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Approach to Trade and Tariffs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Secretary emphasized that countries should not panic in response to the new tariffs; this is &#8220;the high bar, barring retaliation.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Although April 9th marks the activation of tariffs, no immediate negotiations are planned, but communications are expected.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Secretary reiterated that tariffs are being used both as a revenue tool and as leverage for trade negotiations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Market Reactions and Economic Outlook<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bessent downplayed short-term market movements, emphasizing the long-term fiscal shift away from public sector stimulus toward private sector growth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He characterized the U.S. economy as &#8220;very solid&#8221; and noted no hard data yet confirming a consumer pullback despite negative sentiment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bessent also identified big cap tech stocks as the core weakness in the stock market and implied these companies are not of economic concern to the administration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The message is clear. The administration is full steam ahead on tariffs and insists that the global economy should be grateful for this &#8220;certainty&#8221; of a ceiling on tariff rates.
