In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Aug 20, 2026), Samantha LaDuc explains why the “Bessent Put” may be more temporary than markets hoped.

Treasury’s buyback announcement helped dump the dollar and spike stocks, gold and Bitcoin above $71K, triggering roughly $3B in bearish liquidations.

But yields refused to fall, oil reclaimed her bullish $85.85 level, the 20-year Treasury auction was weak, and momentum is fading.

The liquidity spike was real — but the structural Treasury demand problem remains.

In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Aug 19, 2026), Samantha LaDuc notes that the sharp Aug. 19 market reversal was driven by Treasury’s expanded long-end buyback program: dollar down, yen up, yields lower, bonds and gold higher, and equities bouncing right as key support was threatened.

She calls it de facto yield-curve control or “stealth QE.” But the bullish reaction isn’t fully confirmed: semis remain weak, SPY struggled to hold the bounce, oil remains firm and yields are still elevated. The key question now: does the intervention stick?

In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Aug 17, 2026), Samantha LaDuc notes that QQQ hit the long-awaited $735.77 target after successfully bouncing from all three downside levels. MU hit $976, while SNDK reclaimed its key $1463 level as memory and AI trades regain momentum.

Meanwhile, the big bulls are adding: Druckenmiller is positioning heavily in AMZN, Gavin Baker is massively bullish on SpaceX and NVDA, and Morgan Stanley sees a $500 bull case for AMZN as AWS compute capacity expands. The AI trade is not done.

In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Aug 13, 2026), Samantha LaDuc focuses on AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) and the tension between its powerful long-term narrative, deteriorating near-term fundamentals, and an options market that could still fuel explosive upside moves.

Samantha’s core message is that ASTS remains capable of a substantial swing rally, but the stock has become far more speculative and execution-dependent than when she originally identified it around $22–$25 in February 2025.

Samantha LaDuc notes that the bulls remain confident, but after getting burned chasing the last parabola, they’re deploying capital much more deliberately.

$MU is pushing toward $976, but a weekly break and hold above $981 is needed for a high-conviction swing long.

Meanwhile, $QQQ’s Morning Star reversal remains intact, with the current pause looking like normal digestion.

Semis and memory are bouncing from key support as institutions begin to reengage.

In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Aug 12, 2026), Samantha LaDuc notes that her Option-Teller tool flagged a major bearish IGV bet: 25,000 Dec $90 puts bought for nearly $7M. Now IGV is weakening as PLTR and MSFT slide, while semis surge.

USO shows a bullish options tilt plus a massive $446M dark-pool print of unknown direction.

GLD’s huge flow appears more bullish than bearish after accounting for complex institutional legs.

Meanwhile, EBAY looks vulnerable below $107 toward $101, while CROX has a potential head-and-shoulders setup with $129 key.

Large bearish IGV options flow is starting to play out.

Samantha flagged massive $90 puts bought on Tuesday, Aug 11, plus another $2.5M bearish position for August.

Now key IGV components are weakening: PLTR is down 2.5–3% and MSFT about 2%.

This is how money flow can reveal where selling pressure may emerge before the move becomes obvious.

Samantha LaDuc explains why the oversold rebound in software remains intact. Rapid7 surged after an earnings beat and short covering, while GitLab continues its technical recovery toward key resistance.

She also highlights Meta, noting that a sustained move above $603 could open the door to $643, though significant resistance remains before the longer-term trend fully improves.

In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Aug 11, 2026), Samantha LaDuc views the $500 billion AI infrastructure initiative as a major vote of confidence in NVIDIA and the broader AI ecosystem, reinforcing the bullish thesis that compute has become a strategic asset class.

However, she is increasingly focused on how the AI boom is being financed rather than simply celebrating the headline numbers. She argues that many AI model companies remain deeply unprofitable and rely on continuous external funding, creating a system where NVIDIA’s exceptional profitability ultimately depends on investors continuing to finance loss-making customers.

Combined with increasingly sophisticated financing structures, favorable regulatory treatment, and aggressive capital raising ahead of major AI IPOs, she sees echoes of past financial bubbles.

At the same time, options markets remain heavily skewed toward upside speculation with very little demand for protection, making downside hedges unusually cheap ahead of potentially market-moving economic data.

In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Aug 10, 2026), Samantha LaDuc believes markets have entered a healthy consolidation ahead of Wednesday’s CPI report after an explosive post-FOMC rally.

Strong earnings, improving corporate guidance, powerful earnings revisions, broadening participation through equal-weight stocks, and exceptional options flow continue supporting the bull market.

However, she warns that much of the earnings strength is being amplified by paper gains tied to AI investments, while the labor market is quietly deteriorating beneath the surface.

Despite those emerging macro concerns, the technical picture remains constructive: QQQ continues to hold above key support around $709, is working toward a breakout above $735.77, and could ultimately extend toward her longer-term upside target near $765 if inflation data does not derail the rally.

In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Aug 5, 2026), Samantha LaDuc believes gold and silver are finally showing their first convincing bullish signals after months of sideways trading, supported by a weakening dollar, improving technical patterns, and strengthening intermarket indicators.

While she sees a favorable short-term trading opportunity—targeting roughly 4,380–4,400 in gold and 65–71 in silver—she remains cautious about the bigger picture, viewing this as a tactical bounce rather than the beginning of a sustained long-term bull market.

She also sees additional upside potential in gold and silver miners, which benefit from both rising metal prices and falling energy costs.

In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Aug 3, 2026), Samantha LaDuc believes markets are benefiting from a powerful combination of dollar weakness, supportive earnings, delayed Fed tightening expectations, yen intervention, and improving sentiment toward hyperscalers.

While semiconductor stocks remain the market’s weakest area and Treasury yields above 4.8% remain a major risk, she expects the S&P 500 to challenge the 7584 gap-fill level, with 7726 becoming the next upside target if resistance is decisively broken.

She characterizes the current advance as a positive gamma, growth-led reflexive rally, but warns traders to stay alert for a fake breakout before chasing higher prices.

In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Jul 30, 2026), Samantha LaDuc focuses on the market’s post-FOMC outlook, arguing that the violent selloff has likely transitioned into a short-term reflexive rally, but not a new sustainable bull market.

Samantha explains how declining inflation expectations, Japanese currency intervention, dollar weakness, and technical support levels are combining to fuel the current bounce, while warning that underlying market momentum remains fragile and investors should continue treating rallies as opportunities to manage risk rather than chase upside.

In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Jul 29, 2026), Samantha LaDuc says investors are focusing too much on whether Kevin Warsh raises rates, when the more important issues are Fed liquidity, a strengthening U.S. dollar, balance sheet reduction, and persistent geopolitical pressures.

While she expects the Fed to leave rates unchanged and sees the potential for a short-term bounce after the meeting, she continues to recommend protecting portfolios.

In her view, semiconductors remain weak, volatility is likely to increase later, and a durable market recovery is unlikely until liquidity conditions improve and buyers show genuine conviction.

In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Jul 27, 2026), Samantha LaDuc views the latest decline in crude oil as a short-term technical correction driven by low-liquidity trading and questionable ceasefire headlines, not as evidence that geopolitical risks have disappeared.

Lower oil prices have temporarily supported bonds and equities by easing yields, but she believes the structural backdrop remains bullish for energy.

She is watching for a cup-and-handle breakout in crude and confirmation from her oil-to-dollar ratio above 1.2, which could signal the beginning of a much larger supply-driven oil rally with significant consequences for inflation, bonds, and the broader economy.

Samantha LaDuc believes the market remains in a bearish trend as higher yields, a stronger dollar, rising crude oil prices, and increasing volatility continue to pressure equities.

She expects the Nasdaq could continue declining toward major support near 24,000, with any short-term rallies needing strong technical confirmation.

Her focus is on whether markets weaken further into the upcoming FOMC meeting before meaningful support appears.
