Suspicious Trading: $920M Shorts Before US-Iran Deal Leaked

Added: 2026-05-09

[00:00:00]$125 million was made an estimated profit this morning by someone who opened up a short position minutes before Trump announced a 14point deal with Iran.

[00:00:15]Nothing to see here. I'm sure it wasn't one of Trump's buddies that did any form of insider trading. This is five weeks of this BS. I can't be the only one that is bothered by this, right? I can now see why Trump is saying that the ballroom is going to be privately funded. Oh, yeah. Market manipulation for 5 weeks can do that, right? Nearly $920 million in crude oil shorts were placed at 3:40 a.m. Eastern time, about 70 minutes before Axos reported that the US and Iran were reporting or nearing a 14-point deal to end the war. 5 weeks. I thought the war ended weeks ago. Why are we still celebrating it? How is it that the president of the United States can continue to lie over and over again and the markets continue to push higher based off of his tweets that have been proven to be fake for the past four to five weeks. Oil then plunged more than 12% with position gaining an estimated $125 million. Yes. And again, as soon as this was announced, crude oil prices began to drop. And then Trump went online and said Trump releases a statement that reports that the deal uh that a deal to end the Iran war is imminent assuming that Iran agrees to what has been agreed to. Epic fury will be at the end. So again, now what we're pretty much looking for is markets are celebrating the end of an Iran war for the fifth consecutive week. So that is what is propping markets higher today. So now we just wait for Iran to either confirm the deal or deny it and then wait for markets to react.

[00:01:56]How annoying is this Like to know that hours or minutes before this news was announced, that large of a short was taken. If someone like you and I did anything like that, before markets even open, they would be knocking on our front door. But this is five weeks of this. I don't want to hear it of like Ricky, come on, we're winning.

[00:02:21]Like, how can you just not see that there is market manipulation, a a complete conflict of interest? It's so insane that people will bend the knee to an individual that they gain nothing from, but they just choose to overlook it because what you want to see him enrich himself and not others. It's It baffles me. With that being said, yes, markets are pushing higher based off of the news that the war is ending. Now, we just wait for an update if it's actually going to get agreed to by Iran. Some of the big movers for overnight, if you look at the fiveminute time frame, we have SanDisk finally selling off. And as SanDisk is selling off, finally, Nvidia has broken that downtrend and has gapped up. Very happy to see it. On top of that, PLTR is down an additional 2.5% after losing over 7% yesterday. Some of the big winners today, if you guys didn't see, SMCI after reporting earnings gapped up 15% and of course, you can't ignore it, AMD up 16%. I did take a trade on this one. I shorted it at overbought levels. In today's live trading session, I made $3,200 and the trade from start to finish was all caught live. I would really encourage you that if you're not part of our LPP team, or if you are, you can go back and rewatch it again. It's the second link in the description down below.

[00:04:12]It's just super simple trading, and I think a lot of you guys, especially if you're beginners, would appreciate it.

[00:04:17]So again, I'll make sure that I do my part in keeping you guys up to date. But yes, that is the news unfortunately that is pushing markets higher. the same that's been manipulating the market for the past five weeks.
