Title says it all really, the markets are absolutely racing upwards today. Maybe a rebound, maybe a dead cat bounce, maybe a rally, maybe just a small pull back we don't know.

Nothing has changed from last week so don't be surprised if the markets continue going back down again tomorrow, especially with the heightened political tensions in Europe at the moment as well as the threat of inflation increasing scaring the larger market investors out for now.

However, no matter what the future holds today saw an amazing rally upwards and everyone that sold yesterday must be hating themselves. Especially for some alts that are pushing into the 30% range, that's almost 3 years of stocks growth right there in 24 hours!

The last month has really shown us yet again that shorting / leveraging / day trading crypto can make you some pocket change here and there but you miss one key swing and you're out on the streets with nothing.

So we keep hearing people arguing about if this uptrend is the beginning of a second leg bull run or that this uptrend is just a "dead cat bounce".

That made me wonder why it is called "dead cat bounce". Is it a dead bounce from a living cat? Is it because the graph looks like a dead cat? Is it because a cat just like a chicken can bounce around for a little bit even when dead?

So I Googles it, and now you don't have to waste 30 seconds of graph staring or reddit scrolling, to do it yourself.

What I found is that it is called a "dead cat bounce" because of the old saying: "even a dead cat will bounce if you drop it from high enough".

Seems pretty grim to me, but that's why it is called what it's called.

You may be thinking of going in all right now? Market is rebounding right?

Fuck no. (maybe)

A dead cat bounce is a temporary, short-lived recovery of asset prices from a prolonged decline or a bear market that is followed by the continuation of the downtrend. Frequently, downtrends are interrupted by brief periods of recovery—or small rallies—during which prices temporarily rise.

Check the chart for March 18th, 2020. You can see a dead cat bounce a few days prior to a real crash that we know of.

So my financial is advice (not a financial advice) is DCA slowly or wait a day or two to see the true heading of this run.

Really cool to see these happen sometimes. Doesn't get any more textbook than this!

Shorts taking profits and big % drops getting squeezed, only to accelerate more down-gapping. This week will be a fun ride.

Ive seen this mentioned often, but don’t understand what it means?

Today a the first green day after all those red days.

This green dildo can be a dead cat bounce (in analogy to a dead cat which is thrown out the window, is unable to jump again, but still bounces when hitting the bottom), a start of a new bullrun or just another crabmarket...

all these thoughts doesnt matter, because we dunno what will happen.

In order to take advantage one needs:

Patience, DYOR, a bit trust in your coin, a vision of future sentiments and of course a bit of luck.

Let's pretend we have all prequisites and you've chosen your coins.

1.You can buy the coins now/ at the next dip/ at the next crash.

2.Wait days/ some weeks for the price to recover and sell higher for some profits.

3.rinse&repeat...until

4.you've been hit by a hard crash which forces you to hodl your coins

This way you have the feeling of making gains and also have more amount of coins from previous trades than if you just bought and hodl.

So because basically no one knows in what stage we are, some says bear, some says sleeping bull and others say crab, there are many speculations here.

One of these theories I have read here was the dead cat bounce. I am quite new, I know most of the main terms to know already but this was new. First I did not even know wtf, then I googled it. For those who are unaware:

A dead cat bounce is a temporary, short-lived recovery of asset prices from a prolonged decline or a bear market that is followed by the continuation of the downtrend. Frequently, downtrends are interrupted by brief periods of recovery—or small rallies—during which prices temporarily rise.

And that got me thinking, what other funny, absurd, creative lingo are there in trading? I have also read “kangaroo market” since the week charts are going up and down but stay the same more or less, just like a crab market but with more volatility I guess.

So tell me, what other terms you know? It’s doesn’t have to be “official” tho, some of you also said it’s Schrodinger’s bear market since we don’t know if it’s already here or not, that was very funny too.

Hello traders, well we began Friday looking for capitulation or flush down. I think for the most part, we got maybe enough of one to suffice temporarily, however I think we open up with just a little more to go to the down side before we get a proper bounce under way. There was a lot more I wanted to get to but the chiefs vs bills game was so good It didn’t leave much time to work thru things. Coming into Monday we could chop our way to a double bottom. The battle to go higher will be above 447. The outlook for the week has a bullish bias which mean we only have to close above 437.98. Monday has a bullish bias as well with the same line in the sand. Also, as a side note it appears to be a 3–5-day trade window in Bitcoin, this is a short-term trade not a recommendation to buy and hold. Looking for a pop to close to 39k.

Key levels to watch for today... Resistance (jack)442-443, (queen)447-449 and (king)451-453 area. Support (jack)436-435, (queen)432-431 and (King)425. Again, in order for a bounce to game traction it has to get above 447. Also because of the volatility it is going to make differentiating day types very hard. Today's scenarios:

1. Expansive Range Day structure. We could look to set a decision area/ upward boundary around the jack or queen resistance area before chopping lower back towards overnight lows around 435 then trying to push the upper boundary again. 55% probability

2)Rounded reversal day type structure. We could get a continued take off toward queen or king resistance area and find midday chop around either queen or king resistance area before spending the same energy we used going up to come back down to overnight lows. 23% probability

3. Trend day up we open gap up and fade. We find support on or before 437.98 then begin the uptrend for the morning. We find midday chop around either possible queen or king resistance. 22% probability

Trading volume has been lowest it has been since weeks.

P/S of 17500 LMAO.

We will be back to 27 USD in a week or two max.

Now full disclosure im positioned short in this stock. I rarely short stocks but I mean come on, just take a look at the chart, take a look at the valuation. Yes sure they made an amazing car which was chosen as car of the year, but do you know how expensive that car is? It is not made for the masses. Lucid will be a niche ev card producer for the upper class. And they will take years to establish themselves there.

Hey

You TA techy Dudes/Dudettes are we going through that Dead Cat bounce phenomenon?

Good morning everyone. I have told many of my generals yesterday. It is just as important to preserve and keep money as it is to make money. You want to live to see another day and be able to do this for the long haul, not 1 week, 1 month, or even 1 year. It does not impress me if someone is up 500% in 1 year, 200% in 3 years… How are they for 5 years, 10 years? I do not care if someone tells you they have been trading professionally for 5 years… They have not seen enough to pivot quickly enough. They will tell you what you want to hear, tell you they have cars, houses go on vacation… and they been doing this for 2 years… Come on man, get the heck serious. I went to bed about 3:30AM because I wanted to read replies and comments on Twitter FURUs, not 1, I swear not 1 said buy puts on high fliers, buy backs or dividend stocks. Not 1!!! I am following at least 50 traders.. 1 is trading SPY Calls and Puts but 1 out of 50? How long have these FURUs traded for?? Cathie Wood ARKK has been around for over 7 years and now she is down 20% year to date from January… Yes, she is still up about 25% from 2014 until now compounded from 2014. To me that means she is very good, not excellent. You can look for my video on what a trader can expect to make.. Now months ago, when the market was flying and everyone was still making money, trust me I got shallocked for that video. People were calling me dumb and laughing, sending me comments that they are up 25% in a month, how can a good/very good trader be making 25% a year, an excellent 50% and an Ultimate 100%?

This video is from 7 months ago!

Do not tell me you are up 25% in a month, 6 months or even a year.. Come back to me at minimum after 3 years and tell me you are up 25-50-100%. Soon there will be an APP that tracks my trades. I will be charging for this, I do not want to be the test tube baby. I will probably charge $50 a month as they will take 10% commission probably. Then you people will see I am reporting all my trades for free! And I may opt for people to pay, I am awaiting this app, and will see how things go. If I am down, I say, if I speculate I say.. I am not those twitter furus that only report wins… I own it when I make a mistake, I started saying recently in both forums, careful/risky when I make a trade, speculative so that people are aware before I get in of the danger before a trade… Why do I make dangerous t

What the title says. Since I missed the $230 high I'm gonna hold but j sold some other stocks today and have a bit of liquid to inject into this play. I still believe in the revenue potential for this company.

The question is timing the buy.

Was the end of day action we saw today a dead cat bounce? Should I wait for a further drop? Or should I place an order to buy at opening?

Opinions please, what do you think?

We shall see in the next few days. Whatever happens, sit tight and don't get caught over leveraged.

Will there be more bailouts with Biden's new competition narrative. If you think about it, failing entities will only decrease competition. Although some have to fail and face real consequences. Will they push the jobs BS again. I can. Smell the crash in the air. It's so strong.

GME is always dipping until MOASS. Buy, DRS Hold.

As you can tell I'm just a smooth brain. This isn't financial advice.

Including Michael Burry aka "Cassandra" telling us to short Bitcoin at $30K. That itt was gonna tank.

Looks like it tanked the wrong way. If you had listened to "Cassandra", you would have gotten liquidated.

So much for 2018 2.0.

Back in April and May, that's all we would hear. 2018 2.0.

Ok, maybe not what everyone was saying, but at least a quarter of the posts were telling us that this is 2018 all over again. Despite most metrics, and the dynamics of the market not really supporting that theory. If anything it was pointing to that first top of 2013, heading for a double top.

But people only look at one chart or one point of data, and jump to conclusions too quickly. They see in 2018 it went up a lot, then crashed, so they think if we go up a lot, it's the same thing.

And they think a 50% crash can only mean bear winter.

When crypto has crashes every few months, even during bull runs.

The people who actually looked deeper, and at multiple points of data, would have seen that this wasn't looking enough like 2018 2.0, and was actually pointing more in the opposite direction.

But a simple clue that there was an issue with the comparison, was simply by looking at the charts, without distorted perspective.

If you compare things at the right scale, you see two completely different formations, than if you just zoom in too much and look at things in the wrong context.

So much for China mining ban killing the bull market

A couple month ago, the bears were going around with the narrative that China's banning of Bitcoin was gonna kill the bull market. And it was pretty convincing. After all, most of Bitcoin's mining was in China. Shutting it all down could have some serious effect.

But instead, it had 0 effect.

In fact the price went from $30K to $50K.

So much for 2008 2.0

And while we're on the subject of China FUD, so much for Evergrande being 2008 2.0 and taking crypto down with it.

I'm sure Evergrande is gonna be like Mt Gox FUD. For years after Mt Gox went down, every few months bears reminded us that at any point, the victims could be paid out and sell all their Bitcoins.

We'll be reminded every month about Evergrande.

While Evergrande could still wreck havoc in China's economy, the CCP has already showed signs that it would intervene and at least partially nationalize some of the companies. What's somethi

This is your classic dead cat here. This just didn’t happen to FUBO. It happened to many growth stocks today. And some are already selling off into the close. Rest of the week sets the tone. I am guessing more red and more pain for the bulls. Don’t get fooled here into thinking this is the reversal.
