#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. TACO trades have been validated 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 on the brink of spiraling out of control, but in the last 88 minutes, an extreme ceasefire was reached, causing a sudden reversal in global assets—oil prices plummeted and stocks surged. 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 skyrocket. Those who follow the rhythm profit immensely, while latecomers can only regret missing out.
1. Last-minute 88-minute reversal, ceasefire sparks global rally—no one expected the Middle East situation to halt so abruptly. The day before, Trump had issued tough words, threatening to destroy Iran’s entire civilization if they didn’t compromise. As the deadline approached, global markets trembled, oil surged past $110, and stocks plunged—Japan and South Korea’s markets fell over 13% in March, and China’s A-shares also came 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, with Iran also promising to safely open the Strait of Hormuz.
Once the news broke, markets exploded. Crude oil futures plunged sharply, with Brent and WTI both dropping over 15%, breaking below $100. Asia-Pacific stocks surged—Nikkei 225 up over 5%, KOSPI up 6% triggering a circuit breaker, and China’s three major indices opening 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%, and cryptocurrencies all turned green—Bitcoin and Ethereum moved higher in tandem. From panic to celebration in just one night, this super reversal vividly demonstrates Trump’s market magic.
2. TACO trades explode! Validated 12 times in 14 months—Trump’s tactics are no accident or coincidence. Wall Street has even given this approach a name—TACO, short for Trump Always Chickens Out. The logic is simple: first, make tough threats to create crises—tariffs, war threats, and intimidation—causing markets to panic and assets to crash; then, once prices fall enough, he suddenly relents and compromises, ending the crisis, prompting a rebound that profits those who positioned early.
In April 2025, right after taking office, Trump imposed reciprocal tariffs, causing global stocks to plunge. A week later, he temporarily paused, and the S&P 500 surged 14% in a month. In May, he threatened a 50% tariff on the EU, markets fell sharply, then he delayed again, and US stocks soared once more. In January 2026, he used Greenland issues to threaten Europe, causing a $1 trillion market wipeout before quickly retreating, with indices recovering swiftly. Add the recent Middle East ceasefire, and in just 14 months, this TACO pattern has appeared at least 12 times. The routine is always the same: tough threats → market crash → sudden compromise → violent rebound.
Markets have gone from initial panic to gradually understanding the pattern. Now, as long as Trump issues tough words, 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 just for show—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 panic, he tweeted on social media four hours early that it was a good time to buy, then announced a delay, causing his company’s stock to jump 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, each of his flip-flops aligns perfectly with market turning points. When markets fear decline, he scares them into panic selling; when they want to rise, he delivers positive signals, 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 most reliable profit signal— the fiercer his threats, the greater the buying opportunity; once he eases up, it’s time to harvest. Over 14 months, 12 TACO trades, each validated—follow his rhythm, and profits are almost guaranteed.
4. Market logic has shifted, and TACO has become a new investment consensus—how should ordinary investors seize the opportunity?
After 12 validations, TACO is no longer a niche guess but a consensus among global investors. The market logic has completely changed: Trump’s tough talk = short-term negative = buying opportunity; Trump’s easing = positive realization = rebound. For ordinary investors, don’t worry about his motives or predict the war’s course—just follow the TACO pattern:
1. Watch Trump’s tough statements, especially on trade and geopolitical conflicts. A short-term market dip after such statements is an opportunity.
2. Focus on key moments—like this last-minute reversal before the deadline—often the point where the rebound erupts.
3. Prioritize oversold assets, such as stocks that plunge during conflicts, shipping sectors, and energy-related stocks recovering after risk aversion subsides. But stay alert—TACO is a phase pattern, not a permanent rule. The Middle East ceasefire lasts only two weeks, and subsequent negotiations are uncertain. If the situation worsens again, markets will fluctuate. But at least for now, Trump has once again proven with TACO that he’s the true market genius. From tariffs to Middle East ceasefire, 12 times of backing down in 14 months—each time leading to a market super reversal. Whether you love or hate him, you have to admit—Trump’s market magic is unmatched. Next time he issues tough words, don’t panic—remember, that’s a TACO signal, and another opportunity may be coming.
