Here are some areas in which we need to see equality, if you care about that sort of thing:
* Favored by courts, education..
* More power in politics With 53% of votes vs 47
* and economy with 85% of spending control
* special programs and quotas in job market

Since most of my timeline is just predications and shit-posting...

I wanted to give you a valuable process you can use for days like Friday

Post Sell-Off Market Reset Plan:

A large down day often changes the market's character.

Breakouts fail, leadership rotates, support levels break, and many charts that looked attractive a few days ago are no longer actionable.

The goal after a large market sell-off is not to immediately find new trades.

The goal is to identify what held up best, remove what is no longer working, and rebuild a watchlist around the new leaders.

Step 1: Accept That the Market Has Changed

After a significant down day, assume that some of your previous watchlist is no longer relevant.

Many stocks will:

-Break key moving averages
-Lose momentum
-Trigger stops
-Require weeks to rebuild proper bases

Avoid forcing old ideas simply because they were on your watchlist before the sell-off.

The market does not care about yesterday's focus list.

Step 2: Clear Out Weak Charts

Review every stock on your watchlist and ask:

-Did it break key support?
-Did it lose the key moving averages?
-Did volume expand on the breakdown?
-Is the chart now damaged?

If the answer is yes, remove it.

A smaller list of quality setups is more valuable than a large list filled with broken charts.

Step 3: Scan for Relative Strength

The most important task after a large down day is finding stocks that resisted the decline.

Look for names that:

-Held up well relative to market weakness
-Closed near the middle of the candle range
-Held above key moving averages
-Refused to break support

These stocks often become future leaders once the market stabilizes.

When institutions continue buying during market weakness, that information matters.

Step 4: Re-Evaluate Themes and Sectors

Leadership often changes after corrections.

Ask:

-Which sectors held up best?
-Which themes continue attracting volume?
-Where is money flowing despite market weakness?

Focus on the strongest sectors first, then identify the strongest stocks within those sectors.

Strong themes produce strong leaders.

Step 5: Build a Fresh Watchlist

Create three categories:

Tier 1 – Relative Strength Leaders

Stocks that held up exceptionally well during the sell-off.

Tier 2 – High Quality Pullbacks

Strong trends that experienced healthy pullbacks into support.

Tier 3 – Rebuild Candidates

Stocks that were damaged but may become actionable again after forming new bases.

Prioritize Tier 1 names.

Step 6: Let the Market Prove Itself

Do not assume the first bounce is the bottom.

Allow:

-Support levels to hold
-Breakouts to follow through
-Volume to confirm
-Market indexes to stabilize

The best opportunities usually appear after the initial panic, not during it.

Step 7: Reduce Aggression Until Conditions Improve

After a large sell-off:

-Trade smaller
-Be more selective
-Demand stronger confirmation
-Focus on execution over P&L

Market conditions determine aggressiveness.

When conditions improve, exposure can increase naturally.

Key Question Every Night

Instead of asking:

"What can I buy tomorrow?"

Ask:

"What stocks are proving they deserve a spot on my watchlist?"

The stocks that continue showing relative strength during market weakness are often the same stocks that lead the next advance.

@solaj @grok Large speculators:
Leveraged funds
Managed money
Institutional speculators
CTA/trend-following funds
Macro hedge funds

They are:

Primarily directional traders
Trying to profit from price movement
Usually not hedging underlying inventory

[Andy @ABinning]

@solaj @grok Institutions hedging spot holdings
Arbitrage desks doing basis trades

They're often:
Short futures when they already own spot BTC/ETH

commercials are sometimes considered “smart money”

@Lemon77853543 @AC_Trades semantics: The because is in the wrong place. Because May and September have historically, we can say the months are bearish

@TonyWar77 @Brad604 "If you like something, you have to like everything about it"

[Andy @ABinning]

@TonyWar77 @Brad604 Apparently, if Brad doesn't mind something, no one else is allowed to either. Does that sound fascistic??

[Andy @ABinning]

@Brad604 @madatgod Would you get over your feelings that others have feelings already. No one takes you and your feelings seriously on this app.

@JC_ParetsX @bartscharts It looks like XLP/NYA tends to show the way. The bottoms in early 2025, then April, and around start of 2026 all were set in this first, and I'm seeing it's similar with the tops

@JG_Nuke While I agree with the sentiment, one does not disrespect Asimov

[Andy @ABinning]

@onlybreakouts Have you done any work on divergences, whether with CMF, MFI, RSI.. failing to make new highs or lows along with price? Is this something your platform would be able to do?

@ClintNorthMetal @TheOneLanceB Evolution is the process by which the individuals that have adaptations suited to their environment have offspring, this propagate. He used poor wording

[Andy @ABinning]

@blessedtokens @Pregory1 @modestproposal1 Consider interest rates coming out of inversion, debt levels.. I'm not optimistic for debt-driven stocks. But there are plenty of stocks with earnings that are at good p/e ratios, and have decent balance sheets and trading at reasonable p/b

[Andy @ABinning]

@G0783874303 @MarketMike Has a higher chance of failing. In this case, what's happening is higher highs on price.

But the trend is still positive, so this isn't the time to head for the bunker, just make sure you have support nearby for someone to buy your shares off you

[Andy @ABinning]

@G0783874303 @MarketMike In this case, I'm seeing that the price has put in a higher setting high, but the rsi is so far looking like it's putting in a lower high.

Generally rsi and chart should have a similar "shape", ie, be correlated. So when the correlation breaks..

@GrahamSchroeder @DeItaone Warned them about shorting before the war, and going long before declaring ceasefire.

@turned123 @squawk_hawk @financialjuice If you've already taken the low ground and made the effort to go over to and light your neighbor's house on fire, why not drop any pretense of ethics and loot what you can as the house and family burn?

@Ananangke @AlperKaanAnkara @soigomaa The light their eyes received had bounced off her in all directions, so there is no "piercing" done by any of their gazes. Eyes are passive detectors of light, thus the middle of the eye is dark.

A laser or light bulb emits light and is bright. These might pierce somehow

@j60tt0 @RealAngelaMc @MrPitbull07 Some people don't have calculators?

@k312inside @cfromhertz yes, if rate goes down, existing bond yielding higher rate becomes more valuable to own.
