@traderwl@ThHappyHawaiian Cose, but you missed a bit about them understanding that they agree they don't understand what they will agree to understand. Then it's clear.
BREAKING: According to our analysis, ~$920 million worth of crude oil shorts were taken 70 minutes before an Axios report claimed the US and Iran were near a "14-point" deal to end the war.
At 3:40 AM ET today, nearly 10,000 contracts worth of crude oil shorts were taken without any major news.
This is equivalent to ~$920 million in notional value, an unusually large trade for 3:40 AM ET.
At 4:50 AM ET, just 70 minutes later, Axios reported that the US is "close" to a "memorandum of understanding" to end the Iran War.
By 7:00 AM ET, oil prices had fallen over -12% with these crude oil shorts gaining approximately +$125 million.
Minutes later, Iran launched the "Persian Gulf Strait Authority" and oil prices surged +8%.
What just happened?
@antibearthesis 50% drawdowns are blips long-term. Short term they are tradeable. COVID, GFC, Dot n Com. Warnings flashed and were ignored. Similar setup building now. You don't need to time, but you do need to manage risk, protect capital and rotate. Holding cash right now is no mistake
@damanegijun Tell me you don't understand the relationship between oil and gas production without telling me you don't understand the relationship between oil and gas production.
@rblwhite It was mispriced because no one believed the GFS and thought the storm would go out to sea. The Euro is caving and adding HDDs. COT is showing very crowded short. You know how this ends ๐
โ ๏ธ A strong nor'easter will bring heavy snowfall to our area Sunday into Monday. We have upgraded our Winter Storm Watches to Blizzard Warnings along the coast and Winter Storm Warnings elsewhere.
