2025 Bears Throw Tantrums - Bulls Make Excuses

I hate to brag, but If I continue to get it right every day like this, the SEC might start taking a closer look at my tweets. I swear; I'm not in any way trying to manipulate markets. I'll leave that to the Pros @ CNBC.   

To be honest I wasn't sure whether to wear my bull hat, or my bear hat to work, because I look at everything 15 different ways, but after the bears took the bait we laid yesterday [link to chart], and after buying the 3rd dip in a week  - raising an obscene amount of capital - at yesterday's $VIX high, I have to stay bullish. Yep, I'm biased, and I'm not going down without a fight. The charts - yeah - they're broken, but they can be unbroken, as we've seen 100 times before.  

If I'm wrong; I'll simply go to plan b (if you can't beat em join em).    

Yesterdays Bear Tantrum 

$NDX - the updated chart view 

 

The 30 min. chart worked like a charm. I'm not sure what everybody is so freaked out about. Yes,I know, it was a big red candle. 

Yesterday's Sudden Unwind was Textbook 

 The Bulls thought they had the bears trapped going into the Thursday Options Expiration (0DTE), and the bears were having none of that! 

I even tweeted a clue as to what we were witnessing, but I didn't offer the chart. I never offer my best charts, because I know traders won't pay for what they can get free. 

I do wish I had saved a copy of the chart for illustrative purposes, but you'll have to use your imagination. 

Yesterday's Play by Play  

$TECS (the 3X leveraged Tech bear)  

1. $TECS price action was hammered below the 50 day moving average - at the open. Nothing new; We see these kind of dirty tricks nearly every day in 2025.

  

2.  Simultaneously the $NDX trades into the right shoulder target. 

3.  NVIDIA is sold at the same Right Shoulder target - Tweeted  


Shortly thereafter the NASDAQ retreated back below the 50 day ma, and that triggered the algos, and every trader who was paying attention. Sudden unwind. 

Grok Summed it up Famously

That $TECS chart is the ultimate visual for the segment:

  • Every single time the bears thought they finally had tech cracked (2023, 2024, summer 2025), the rug got yanked and $TECS went straight into the woodchipper.
  •  Today’s volume spike to 12.1 M shares (highest since the July 2025 squeeze) is literally the bears throwing one last tantrum before Thanksgiving… 

Still Waiting For The Dust to Settle 


Tom Lee’s ‘Glitch’ Viral Video Highlighting the Crypto Crash  

From Yesterday's Featured Cast of Characters Segment @ CNBC, Tom Lee (the guy who has called 18 of the last 2 Bitcoin bull markets correctly) explained that the entire $400 billion crypto wipe-out was just a ‘mechanical glitch’ in perpetual futures.

The Host, Brian Sullivan the one we like to 

call "BIG EARS" → claims he hates the term glitch, listens closely, then - 

with a wink and a nod - 

declares this is ‘the most important 

interview I’ve done in years.’ Really? 

 Watch For Yourself 


 

Translation: bagholders, please don’t look at the rising real yields, record ETF outflows, or the dollar ripping to 2-year highs. It was the algo’s fault.”

As someone who covered the now infamous Flash Crash very closely (in fact I was on stock charts publicly calling for a crash that same week - true story [link]), this looks like the 2025 Version of ‘It Was Just a Fat Finger’ – Same Script, New Title 

 $MSTR - 30 min. chart - No glitch found, Selling looks very orderly, even during the accelerated selling we saw, going into yesterday's close. No boogieman.  

 


 
Tom Lee moving his Bitcoin floor from $250k to $88k isn’t a glitch – it’s a white flag.


Have a great weekend.

Tipsy Rally, Sober Reality


I absolutely nailed NVIDIA (post earnings) reaction 1000%, BUT I'm afraid that this so called, "market recovery", is not all it is cracked up to be. NVIDIA's 5% bounce on light after hours volume, is  like your ex boyfriend calling you at 3AM for a hookup. 

 The NVIDIA Twitter Storm 

 3.2k views is a contrarian indicator 


After nailing the direction on NVIDIA yesterday evening - yeah I often work late and that makes the difference... I also pay for 3 different software programs for the winning edge. What do you bring to the table?  

Bloomberg headlines claim that investors are soothed by the $NVDA print - more like lulled back to sleep, with the $VIX still trading well above 20. Tuesday's wake-up call [linked]   

The Bear Raids Continue 

$NDX (Big Tech) - classic bear bait 

 

 

Bitcoin Recovers only Slightly After Upbeat NVIDIA Earnings (Barron's)

If you were paying attention on Tuesday, you learned that Crypto is the barometer for Global liquidity [Link]  and anyone who continued to hold Bitcoin as it finally broke key support @ the 108k level is branded with the bag holder logo. 
 

 
 
The coveted 100k level was never support, it only provided the bull trap.  
 
Sue the SEC if you don't like the way Wall Street takes your money, they approved... 


 

Russell 2000 futures weak af - up .5% last I checked. That doesn't point to a recovery. 

 


That's It: I'm gutting the Public Charts Area; renaming it Mag7 on Death Watch [link] 

I'm also cutting short the window dressing series until we see evidence of institutional buying, and even then I'm 100% sure we're only looking at the beginning of the biggest global unwind in 100 years. 
 
Homework: Chart Europe and see where the real crisis is happening in real time.   
 
If not for EOY window dressing the rug would be pulled right here, but expect the perma-bear to TAKE the bear bait, before covering their short bets, once Nov. OPEX has passed.  
 
This holiday season please pass the gravy, don't be a Turkey 🦃

Ringing the Register While the Clowns Reload

Look who just stepped back onto Bloomberg’s set with a fresh coat of bullish greasepaint:

it's everyone’s favorite head clown, and 

Chief Equity & Quant Strategist, at 

Evercore, Julián Emanuel, grinning like he

 just discovered that a rich mixture of 

hopium fumes are constantly pumped onto 

the set—night and day. 

 

 

"Everything’s awesome, buy the dip, Santa rally confirmed" 

 

 Whoa, wait STOP THE PRESSES: 

 Isn't this is the same gd clown that we

 featured  only 2  weeks ago [link]

Yep; new makeup; 

different day, 

different narrative, 

same circus act.

 


Meanwhile, I just rang the register on the bearish puts I’ve been rolling since Halloween, banked the gains while the blood was still fresh, and re-positioned for whatever act comes next.

Grok’s exact words on yesterday’s trade:

“Smart move ringing the register on the puts while the blood is fresh and repositioning for the counter-trend slingshot… Beautiful trade.” "...Legendary tape reading"



$NVDA Target Raised 



So, are we out of the woods? NO, see my dire warnings concerning the coming global unwind, over the past several weeks. 

  • The Most Obvious Capitulation Point in 20 years [Link]
  • The Biggest Market Bubble in Nearly 100 Years [Link]
  • Just Yesterday The Fuse Is Lit, But the Clowns Are Still Juggling Dynamite [Link

That risk doesn’t go away, just because it's the 2025 window dressing season, and a $VIX that will undoubtedly be crushed, as we trade into another FOMC rate cut, not to mention $NVDA NVIDIA...

Profits banked, powder dry, still positioned for when the next pie hits him in the face.Enjoy the show, folks. Pass the pumpkin pie; hold my beer 

Now somebody get this man a towel. Opening bell 30 min ago~!  🤡🥧

The Fuse Is Lit, But the Clowns Are Still Juggling Dynamite

 
Horrific day for Markets, yesterday? Not so much, not on the surface anyhow. 

  • Mag7 down a measly -.22%
  • Small Caps barely retested the lows - where's the risk-off sentiment?
  • Window-dressing season in full swing 

The big boys still have to levitate the indexes into month-end, so they get their year end bonuses.

Meanwhile, in reality:

  • Japan −3.22% overnight → worst single-day drop in seven months (PM Takaichi openly talking war with China over Taiwan – yes, really) KOSPI down 3.50% 

  • $DJUSFN Financial index just hit a fresh 3-month low in the most violent reversal we've seen since the regional banking crisis. Goes unreported! 
  • Crypto - the bloodbath returns, and CNBC loves it! Maybe because they associate it with Trump? idk Seems to be a love/ hate relationship...  

CNBC's already in full panic mode, but not over the prospect of WWIII, in the south pacific—NO—they're rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic, as it's sinking!

CNBC’s Disney Pump Fails—China’s Ghost Loans Ignored

Friday's Pinball Action 

Friday’s Pinball: Weak Hands Flushed at Open

a clumsy bear raid—just before Q4 window dressing.

CNBC's Disney Debacle 

Disney (CNBC’s Dow darling) — wiped out the week in one session.

Dow breakout? What breakout.
