A $75 million oil short position—all riding on Trump’s 20-minute speech.


Is this institution crazy? No. They’re betting that Trump’s remarks will be bearish.
You need to understand: the players who can smash positions of this scale into the market aren’t retail investors, and they aren’t hedge funds. They’re the real big players with genuine insider information. Their logic is simple: when it comes to how Trump speaks, he never follows the usual playbook—especially on the Iran issue. He could drop a black swan at any moment.
A $75 million short position—if oil falls by 1%, profit is $750,000. If oil rises by 1%—they get liquidated.
But they still placed the trade.
Why? Because the market is now pricing in the optimistic expectation that a “deal will be reached” completely. As soon as Trump’s speech includes any tough language, any hints of “negotiation failure,” oil prices will collapse instantly.
This isn’t gambling. It’s calculated risk.
In 20 minutes, everything will be revealed. Is your position ready? $BTC
