Stock market bulls are about to face their biggest test since the start of 2026—quarterly earnings season is here, and the timing couldn't be trickier. Geopolitical tensions are mounting by the day, and the economic outlook has turned murky. Will corporate results hold up under this pressure, or are surprises waiting in the wings? It's not just about the numbers anymore; it's about whether companies can navigate these headwinds and still deliver growth that justifies current valuations. The next few weeks will be telling.

Damn, it's that season again to watch the company's financial report awkward dance... This time, I might really lose my composure.

Oh my god, here we go again... I really can't say whether this wave of market can hold up or not.

Another week taught the market some lessons, but this time is different—the earnings season is here, the real acid test. Geopolitical tensions combined with economic uncertainty, now it’s all about whether these companies can still rise smoothly in the chaos [laughing]. Remember, the most important thing when losing money is to stay clear-headed. This wave of decline is actually building momentum for the next rally, trust me! A bear market builds resilience, a bull market tests greed. What we need now is not to be scared out. Everyone, don’t panic. Good or bad earnings are all opportunities. Whether valuations are high or low depends on whether the company can withstand the cycle. Having experienced a 50% plunge in 2018, this level of uncertainty is really nothing. Rebirth from the ashes will take some more time, but the bottom range is right in front of us. Patience is the greatest virtue. Starting to self-PUA again, but the phoenix will always reborn. Let’s keep going next week.

I saw this article at 3 AM and stared at the candlestick chart in a daze... This earnings season is truly an excellent window to observe liquidity gaps. Geopolitical conflicts combined with valuation pressures have caused DEX data to fluctuate abnormally. The arbitrage opportunities might be right in this uncertainty.
