4. Term Of The Day 📚
Mean Reversion
📖Definition: A financial theory suggesting that asset prices and returns eventually move back toward the long-term average or mean
📊Why it matters: Traders use mean reversion strategies to capitalize on overbought or oversold conditions—buying dips and selling rallies. In volatile markets like today's, it’s a reminder that extreme moves are often temporary
💡Example: If NVDA spikes 10% in a day, a mean reversion trader might expect a pullback toward its average and position accordingly
5. Song Of The Day 🎧
🎧 Song of the Day Track: “Fuck Me Eyes” – Ethel Cain
Why it hits: Released July 2, this haunting synth-pop ballad weaves cinematic soundscapes and emotional depth. It's a powerful, mood-setting track perfect for late-night focus sessions as markets ebb and flow
