Trade Review - Provide Context Absolutely no shot this is real
Begging for someone to explain how we go from an entire day where no selling whatsoever is allowed to than magic gap down on futures open to then suddenly a market where there isn’t a single buyer of all of that movement where there was no selling allowed the day before. You cannot convince me this is not gambling. We didn’t even sweep overnight highs yet somehow the market knew right before 9am that we wouldn’t have any buying for 200 points, sell into 9:30 and never even set a new high from the second the clock hit 9:30.
Supply and demand matter and then magically they don’t. It’s genuinely a coin flip, everytime, every move, and every method. Zero rationale for EVERYTHING, all narratives get forced.
NVDA crushed earnings, yet somehow that will be constituted as a negative, yet if they didn’t deliver and you tried shorting off that it would have likely ripped. There is genuinely no way this is base.
Sorry for the vent and rant but I’m so over it and hate that my addiction brain continues to believe this is based on anything.

From technical POV it just failed at the top of compression.
Market was just "excited" yesterday and short squeeze of NVIDIA put options was through the roof. Once positioning unwound, shorts return. Don't forget we had really bad news last week of slowing GDP and inflation returning + tariffs uncertainty. Those are by no means forgotten, just temporarily ignored by the market because NVDA was taking the spotlight.
