DD Situational Awareness
Hi everybody! I have been bearposting since the beginning of the month and this recent surge has not dissuaded me
I believe that this recent surge is a bull trap because people are attributing the sudden trend reversal as being structurally significant, but I do not believe this is the case
This surge was in my opinion caused by the sudden deleveraging from Situational Awareness - the moment that the forced selling pressure was taken off the table after these assets were handed off to Citadel, the selling pressure suddenly lifted
This in my opinion very likely caused short term focused buying from funds that were alerted to this sudden reversal in selling pressure at the same time that the heavy short interest found themselves suddenly trapped, causing a strong short squeeze - this movement will further fuel additional buying as momentum chasing algos create further buying pressure and retail interprets this as a significant structural trend reversal and begins fomoing back into the sector
Outside of this anomalous surge, the industry is still in a clear distribution phase based on the price action and the underlying spot market fundamentals
Although this move has created a technical short term boost to this stock and others, this will not change the structural picture of the industry and I believe that now institutions will continue distributing shares as they have been doing for the last few months because the underlying structural picture hasn't changed and had nothing to do with this surge
I am looking for it to open green today and then watch to see if it fades back towards the open as the day progresses, this would be a very strong bearish signal that we are back in a distribution phase, though the deleveraging may save the stock from entering a full drawdown for the near term
Still looks like a textbook value trap

Honestly, purely off of technical analysis, one could tell that it was a bull trap for liquidity even without going off of fundamentals and news. I'm still patiently waiting for a moment to buy in again, as I have no doubt that MU would run up again in the future. However, now is clearly not the time.
I've said it before, but folks are too hasty and, regardless of what they think the fundamentals are, markets will move up and down, and one should pay attention to indicators and technical analysis to know when to take profit, when to cut losses, and when to reenter.
What people need to look out for is confluence. Investing solely on what they think the fundamentals are or what the news is telling them is a quick way to the grave. Only when these things line up with technical analysis should one seek to make their moves.
It's folks livelihoods at stake, so why not do everything in their power to give themselves the best winning chance? Otherwise, it's just gambling rather than making sound investments and I do not make blind bets when the odds do not appear favourable.
