Trillions of dollars are being driven through options activity. An INSANE record of 60 million contracts per day, a 100% increase since 2020.
Even more alarming, zero-day contracts now make up 62% of that volume, meaning the MAJORITY of the market is betting on what will happen in the next six hours.
The stock price isn't moving because the company is good. It's moving BECAUSE the bets are forcing it to move.
If millions of you buy a lottery ticket saying the market WILL go up, the Market Makers have to buy billions of dollars of stock instantly to hedge.
It’s a FAKE feedback loop that sends prices to the moon (or hell) for zero reason.
The house always wins because the players are too busy betting on the next candle to see the coming year.
It's all a lie, it always has been.
