[+38] u/bearhunter429: #Imagine still being in the Weekend Thread like an idiot LMAO🤌

[+23] u/Boheed: ooo sorry, you're not an insider. Better luck next time.

[+19] u/31andnotdone: cant even get a what are your moves tomorrow thread

[+15] u/CosecSecCot: The market legally can not go down without our consent.

[+14] u/OPINION_IS_UNPOPULAR: Happy Friday the 13th!

[+14] u/onomatopoeiababy: Do you ever think maybe this was always doomed to fail as soon as he said “praise be to Allah” during Easter weekend?

[+13] u/FullCopy: *The Hormuz* is the most exclusive night club in the world. Everyone wants to be there. Very short VIP list and bouncers don’t make exceptions.

[+13] u/shindiggaa: I'll be sleeping well tonight. And I have calls.

[+12] u/Main_Phase666: We rocketing . It don’t matter. 70+ years
Of this market going up , and will continue to go up for years to come .

[+11] u/Specialist_Exam_8433: I've seen enough. ATHs by EOW.

[+10] u/Who_is_Your_Zaddy: Open the fucking strait you crazy bastards. Actually, I'm actually going to close it. Checkmate

[+9] u/wenxuan2: We dont even need a taco to go green anymore

[+9] u/rusty888: The US stopping Chinese ships could lead to a trade blockade, violating China's sovereignty. China might respond by increasing support for Iran, strengthening the yuan system, or moving its navy closer to the region.

There are two possible scenarios:

• US stops Chinese ships: Escalation risk, potentially leading to a crisis more dangerous than a war with Iran.

• US can't stop Chinese ships: Blockade remains ineffective, damaging US credibility and potentially weakening the dollar.

[+9] u/surmoiFire: WSB mod time travelled to tomorrow to confirm their ass is redder than the casino

[+9] u/FarkGrudge: I mean, we pumped 2.5% when the strait was opened, now we only fall 1% when it’s completely closed again?  Did we just find the infinite pump trick?

[+9] u/TopTrey9: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahaha

[+9] u/Elbit_Curt_Sedni: There's really only two plays in the market nowadays:

1. Parking your money into low risk assets and patience.
2. Buying dips and doubling down on buying dips.

NEVER go puts. Ever. The market is now a perma bull market and will be that way until the US empire falls from all the stupid shit. When that happens you have bigger problems no matter if you have puts or calls.

[+8] u/Picks6x: If you blockade a blockade it opens the blockade.

r/wallstreetbets community Reddit community discussion

The community observes that futures recovered significantly overnight despite a major negative geopolitical event (Strait of Hormuz closure), indicating extreme underlying strength and dip-buying. This resilience suggests any market weakness is a buying opportunity, as the "perma-bull" market machine will quickly erase losses. Many users are calling for new all-time highs (ATHs) imminently. The consensus is to buy SPY calls or outright shares on any dip, expecting a swift move higher. A few comments note that an escalation could lead to a more dangerous crisis, and some question if the market is becoming "delusional" to the risks. OIL / ENERGY - WATCH | confidence: 0.6 | sentiment: +0.3 Speaker: r/wallstreetbets community Thesis: The thread discusses the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for oil shipments, which typically would spike oil prices. However, multiple comments note the market is "numb" to the news, and the price reaction has been muted. The trade is unclear as the expected panic bid hasn't fully materialized. The situation creates a high-volatility watch scenario. A sustained closure or escalation could force a dramatic re-pricing, but the initial reaction suggests the market is discounting it. The blockade could be ineffective or temporary. China may find alternate routes or political solutions may de-escalate the situation quickly. USD / CHINA TRADE - AVOID | confidence: 0.7 | sentiment: -0.3 Speaker: r/wallstreetbets community Thesis: Commenters analyze potential outcomes of the US stopping Chinese ships, seeing two bad scenarios: either escalation weakens the dollar or ineffective action damages US credibility. This geopolitical friction is seen as structurally negative for the US dollar's status and could strengthen China's yuan system. The thread implies a bearish outlook on the USD's standing, but no clear, actionable equity ticker is identified. The complexity and macro nature lead to an "AVOID" recommendation for direct trades from this thread. The analysis is speculative. The situation may not escalate to a currency crisis level.
