Is The Trump Rally On Thin Ice?
(new video)

Don Kaufman here.
What a week...
The S&P just notched its second straight weekly gain, Trump's back in the White House launching shots at interest rates and OPEC, and we even hit fresh all-time highs.
Sounds like everything's perfect, right?
Not so fast.
While retail traders chase tech stocks to the moon (looking at you, NVDA), something concerning is brewing beneath the surface...
I spotted multiple red flags this week that the "smart money" can't ignore:
• Why professional traders are suddenly hedging heavily (this hasn't happened since...)
• The stealth signal in VIX options that most retail traders completely miss
• A historic reading in the SKEW index that screams "institutional fear"
• Why the bond market just shrugged off Trump's interest rate comments (this is huge)
But here's what really caught my attention...
We're seeing consecutive breaches of expected move in the SPX - something that rarely happens unless...
More importantly, I explain exactly what I'm doing with my option trades heading into next week's FOMC meeting.
To your success,
Don Kaufman
