Market Recap & Trading Insights for Tuesday April 22, 2025 GAR Capital Futures Division

This week’s trading environment has been all about adaptability and execution. Volatility remained high, and directional conviction shifted quickl - but we were ahead of the game. Let’s break it down:

S&P 500 – From Bearish to Bullish We started the week with a bearish lean on the S&P 500, setting up clean shorts and catching downside targets with precision. But as the tape developed, we identified a high-probability relief rally — and we flipped our bias with confidence.

  • We longed from 5220, took a small hit, but quickly reloaded at 5285 for a bounce into 5326 and beyond.
  • Execution: Controlled risk, quick adjustments, and clear communication to the team. That’s how we win.

Gold – Patience Rewarded Our short bias on gold was dialed in — just a touch early. After golds monster breakout, we flagged potential profit-taking and were ready. Our short from 3455 paid off in a big way as gold began its pullback.

  • We stayed on the trade and kept stacking setups: 3455, 3445, and 3415 all delivered.
  • Net result: Multiple take-profits hit and over +60 points gained - that’s $3,000+ profit on 5 MGC contracts.

Why It Matters This week was a masterclass in reading the tape, adjusting to new information, and maximizing trades on both sides of the market. We didn’t just predict — we reacted with discipline and strategy.

Markets may be volatile, but that’s when professionals rise. trophy room tings.png_GAR Capital isn’t just signals. It’s education, strategy, and clarity — in real time.*
