Sometimes logic takes a back seat — and that's exactly what we're seeing in today's markets. Despite the government reopening, price action in equities feels detached from reality. Correlations are breaking down, traditional relationships are fading, and traders everywhere are asking the same question: what's next?

Here's what we'll cover:

· Irrational Market Behavior: Why fundamentals and price don't seem to agree right now.

· Government Reopening Reaction: How markets are digesting the news — and what it really means.

· Broken Correlations: The decoupling between key sectors, bonds, and commodities.

· Trader Takeaways: How to navigate volatility and uncertainty without losing your edge.

If you've ever wondered how markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent, this one's for you.
