Noticing a lot of bears deleting their posts and accounts after dooming and glooming the last month. You’re seeing social capitulation in real time (obv coupled with squeeze in mkt).
I think this is a great case study into retail investor/trader mentality without even looking at prices, and maybe something to watch for the next time around if you frequent this sub. When you see a lot of emotional talk and sky is falling, especially on Reddit and social media, it almost always signals a tradable bottom in the market. Use their fear to your advantage and have eyes up the next time you see emotional, one sided speak in here.
Reddit and social media are great places to gauge retail sentiment, and you can even take it a step further and capitalize on their poor positioning. A great tool to add to your kit and another reason to love this sub!
