For the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), Nasdaq Composite, and S&P 500, the market-wide circuit breaker system is primarily tied to the S&P 500's performance, as it’s considered the benchmark for U.S. equity markets. These circuit breakers are designed to halt trading across all U.S. equity markets (including the Dow and Nasdaq) when significant declines occur, giving investors a breather during extreme volatility. The levels are calculated as percentage drops from the previous day's closing value of the S&P 500 and apply universally. Here’s how they break down:

- Level 1: A 7% decline in the S&P 500 triggers a 15-minute trading halt, unless it happens after 3:25 p.m. ET, in which case trading continues.

- Level 2: A 13% decline in the S&P 500 triggers another 15-minute halt, again only if it occurs before 3:25 p.m. ET.

- Level 3: A 20% decline in the S&P 500 halts trading for the rest of the day, regardless of the time it happens.

These thresholds are set daily based on the S&P 500’s prior close and are not specific to the Dow or Nasdaq individually—when the S&P 500 hits these levels, trading stops across all major indexes, including futures markets like the E-mini S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Dow futures.

For example, if the S&P 500 closed at 5,500 the previous day:

- 7% = 385 points (halt at ~5,115)

- 13% = 715 points (halt at ~4,785)

- 20% = 1,100 points (market closed at ~4,400)

The Dow and Nasdaq don’t have their own percentage-based triggers; they follow the S&P 500’s lead. Historically, these rules were updated after events like the 1987 Black Monday crash and the 2010 Flash Crash, and they’ve remained consistent into 2025 based on current regulatory frameworks.

Note that individual stocks or ETFs (like those on the Nasdaq) might also face single-stock circuit breakers under the Limit Up-Limit Down (LULD) plan, but that’s a different mechanism—typically 5%, 10%, or 20% moves in a five-minute window, depending on the stock’s price and tier.

In case anyone is wondering, from this morning Greg’s video about the “destruction” taking place. There’s only one group of people pulling these strings:

“We Jews, we, the destroyers, will remain the destroyers for ever. Nothing that you will do will meet our needs and demands - The wretched fate which scattered us through your midst has thrust this unwelcome role upon us." - p. 155, Maurice Samuel, You Gentiles

I'ts not only the Talmudic Jews, it's all people around the world who worship the devil. It includes all nationalities and races of people around the world who reject the teachings of Jesus and Father Yahweh and embrace evil. This is a spiritual battle that's going to usher in the worst era in human history.

Greg, "nothing is safe" is exactly the same conclusion I came to 12 years ago. There came a moment, because I listened and broadened my understanding that the the powers arrayed against us were extremely dangerous. I looked for a safe country to escape to and how to transfer my assets where I could retain them. My conclusion was the entire world is so completely connected, much of it was experiencing the same insecurity, I was better off staying where I am.

Once I realized the degree of the danger, I actually felt physically ill for weeks. I began looking deeper into the financial, governmental and monetary systems to better understand how to protect myself and inform others who were willing to listen. At first, most people did not want to listen. They thought I was nuts or the information I had was wrong. I've persisted and handed out nearly 1000 copies of the Constitution and about 200 packets of 70 pages of legal and psychological information I assembled. I've had judges and lawyers disagree with me but are unable to show me where my mistakes are. No one has ever given me evidence of any mistakes. No one has ever offered to help other than reading my packet and giving it to others. A few return to find out what additional information I have and discuss it.

We come into this world alone and we leave the same way.

There won't be an economy when shtf occurs in a few days. Anyone that takes the Mark is stupid and a coward, and they're our enemies that have to be destroyed.

Meanwhile we must live, I want your take on greenback dollars. Minted in 1's, 5's, 10's, 50's, 100's . I may have missed 1 or 2 but you get my drift. These are of real value & are tyde to the value of gold. In other words side stepping the Federal Reserve with real money we can buy right now. Thanks GM God bless.

Trump just handed The Left a platform and they're too lost in Woke Idiocracy.

Stay positive Greg, your voice is important.

Trump will turn out to be the worst president in US history if the following manifests:

Trump Threatens to BOMB Iran, Moves More Warplanes to Middle East | Patrick Henningsen:

PRESIDENT TRUMP UNDER ISRAELI PRESSURE TO BOMB IRAN AFTER MAY DEADLINE

Israeli officials say the U.S. is preparing for a military strike on Iran’s nuclear sites by summer if Tehran refuses to dismantle its program and readmit inspectors. Seven B-2 bombers are now at Diego Garcia, capable of deploying bunker-buster bombs. Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia, are refusing to allow U.S. forces to use their airspace for any attack. France warned that conflict is “almost inevitable” if diplomacy fails. Meanwhile, Iran’s military has discussed preemptive strikes on U.S. bases, and Israel is escalating operations in Gaza, where UN reports accuse Israeli forces of executing paramedics.

Greg, I don't think the FED, AKA, the elites will allow the US to lose the reserve currency standing. The "FED, Big Banks, Elites "whatever you want to call them would never give BRICS or any other nation that control. They can simply reprice GOLD! The gold in Fort Knox is currently priced at about $35 an oz . They can REPRICE GOLD to say 20,000 an oz. Back the new digital dollar with gold and the debt is gone overnight. I would love your thoughts
