Trump White House War Room Secret Meeting, Ceasefire Countdown of Three Days, Rebound and Drop Script Repeats?

Early morning April 19, Trump urgently summoned the core team including the Vice President, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, and CIA Director to the White House war room to discuss the Strait of Hormuz crisis. U.S. officials announced: after the three-day ceasefire expires, if negotiations fail to make breakthroughs, the war will restart within days.

Once the news broke, nerves in the oil market tightened again. But what is truly worth warning about is the repeated play of the “Trump Deal” script—before each major announcement, the crude oil futures market pre-placed huge short positions, first creating panic to push prices up, then smashing the market with good news to harvest profits.

On March 23, 15 minutes before Trump delayed the attack on Iran, $580 million in short positions entered the market, causing oil prices to plummet 15%. On April 7, hours before the ceasefire agreement was announced, $950 million in short positions were quietly established, with opening prices dropping below $100. On April 18, 20 minutes before Iran’s foreign minister announced the Strait was open, $760 million in shorts were precisely targeted, causing an 11% crash in oil prices that day.
Three times of strategic positioning, totaling over $2.2 billion in shorts. The CFTC has launched an investigation, and Senator Warren directly accused “insider manipulation of the market.” With only three days left on the ceasefire countdown, regulatory bullets are still flying, while market bullets are already loaded. In the next 72 hours, every one of Trump’s posts will be a harvest switch—first releasing war smoke to push prices up, then announcing an agreement to smash the market.
