It’s SPY with volume. Very standard chart for probably the biggest ETF tracking the S&P.

If you plan to use it, you should know that there was a separate “good news”-event at that point in time. It would not surprise me if insider trading happened, but that spike could also be from the bond auction. As much as I want the US to lose their influence in the world, it’s important to not jump to conclusions for political reasons. The spike should be investigated properly, but at this point the US might be too corrupt for that to happen or have consequences.

I was just talking to my coworker at lunch that I’ll create an account and buy the dip. By the time we got back to our desks, I saw the news of the pause and everything shot up.

I bought the dip once, years ago. Made like, I donno. Couple hundred bucks. Sold all my crypto at the same time. That was cumulative with the other thing. Made a couple hundred bucks.

I got a little lucky in that I filed my taxes on Sunday and made my 2024 IRA contributions then. Only some of the funds were available Monday but I was able to buy. I would’ve bought regardless of the price (I don’t really time things) but it worked out nicely.

Well you are that’s cause they developed a cunning male brain at birth, and now with hormones they also have a crafty female brain. Having two brains is an unfair advantage over the poor cis men and women who only have one brain.

The American legal system, fucked as it already was, absolutely can handle this, or could. Was. Even I have fond memories of the U.S. Marshals banging at my door, wearing obviously baggy shirts. That shit was handled by the court.

The reason why it isn’t working is someone is actively breaking it

This should be considered an act of war by…everyone, really. Everyone should pull their stuff out of the US market, be they ordinary Americans, Norweigian oil bonds, or German gold.

Trump will pull this shit again, he has a pattern of pulling the rug, and will keep doing so long after there is no more rug.

Just keep the retaliatory tariffs and say that the world governments don’t have time and resources to deal with a child playing with tariff sliders like it’s a fucking 20 year old Paradox game. Until he’s out of office, or preferably in jail.
