EYL NETWORK
About this episode

In this insightful clip, Troy Millings, Rashad Bilal, and Ian Dunlap dive deep into whether the stock market hit its bottom on April 7th and what that could mean for investors moving forward. The conversation unpacks key market indicators, including the significance of the 200-day moving average and recent fund flows at the end of March and beginning of April.


Our hosts analyze the unpredictable impact of global and political dynamics, especially with ongoing tensions and negotiations involving China and the United States. Ian stresses the importance of looking at worst-case scenarios before relying solely on technical analysis. He encourages investors and traders to factor in historical events and macro trends—reminding us that real preparation comes from understanding both the risks and the opportunities.


Rashad adds context about policy changes, exemptions in the auto industry, and shifting sentiments around government negotiations and tariffs. The trio discusses the limitations of technical indicators when leaders and policymakers are unpredictable and why certainty is hard to find in volatile times.


This clip isn’t just for experienced investors—it’s also a great resource for anyone looking to better understand how to interpret market movements and anticipate major shifts. Whether you’re a trader, a passive investor, or just curious about what goes into market forecasting, you’ll walk away with actionable insights and a new perspective on preparing for different scenarios.


Key discussion points include:

  • Was April 7th truly the market floor?
