In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Apr 22, 2026), Samantha LaDuc breaks down how markets are reacting to ongoing geopolitical tensions and a fragile ceasefire, while technical patterns suggest a near-term pullback despite continued buying pressure.
She explains that strong AI-driven earnings expectations and bullish sentiment are masking underlying economic weakness, with risks building from elevated oil prices, slowing consumer demand, and narrow market leadership.
The outlook points to a potential 15–20% correction after the current rally, as macro pressures and overly optimistic earnings projections begin to reprice.

Tom agreed but per your article the war was not priced in at 6500. Is it priced now at 7150? Were you correct at 6500? Or just speculating in case…? Thank you
