VIX under 19 with oil near $98 is a tension nobody’s pricing correctly. This rally needs volume confirmation before trusting the breakout.
someone explain why it went up despite iran and us not reaching an agreement
Sandisk to be added to the Mag 7; now the Mag 8
Investors think there is a chance of the cease fire lasting long term. They think the US will back out and the bombing won’t restart.
Also, because oil prices crashed and went back to hovering around $100 everyones unsure on what to do.
Once we start getting more news about the price of gas going up again and fuel shortages this will change. Oil will start to climb quickly and the stock market will start to tank again.
This is simply the lull before the storm again. Nothing has changed and will only get worse.
lol, sure, why not 🤷♂️
