Holiday Trade Watch

Grok, What’s Swinging? Grok, What’s Swinging? End of December is weird trading. Volume thins out, price moves get jumpy, and names that have been dead suddenly wake up for no obvious reason. Sometimes that creates quick momentum. Sometimes it’s just noise. Below are a few tickers people have been watching lately for short-term swings. This isn’t advice—just market chatter and pattern-watching. Always check the chart yourself. $RGTI – Rigetti Computing Quantum names have been popping up again. RGTI’s been tightening up after a pullback, which is the kind of thing momentum traders tend to keep an eye on. If volume shows up, it tends to move fast. If it doesn’t, nothing happens. $BBAI – BigBear.ai Still riding the AI narrative. It’s been hanging around support and getting mentioned again in trader circles. This is one of those names that either catches a bid quickly or goes right back to sleep. $ONDS – Ondas Holdings Smaller, noisier, and more vola...

Papers Please

Wrongful Detention of U.S. Citizens by ICE: Court Cases and REAL ID Controversy Overview of Wrongful Detentions of U.S. Citizens by ICE In 2025, under the second Trump administration's aggressive immigration enforcement policies, including expanded workplace raids and operations, reports emerged of over 170 U.S. citizens being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents. These incidents often occurred during raids targeting undocumented immigrants, where citizens were swept up due to perceived appearance, accent, or proximity. Detentions ranged from hours to days, involving handcuffing, biometric screening (such as fingerprints), and transport to facilities, even after presenting identification. ProPublica documented many cases, highlighting alleged patterns of racial profiling and potential Fourth Amendment violations. Critics, including the ACLU and the American Immigration Council, argu...

Rescheduled Programming

Schedule III Marijuana: Progress, Yes — But Don’t Confuse It With Freedom Schedule III Marijuana: Progress, Yes — But Don’t Confuse It With Freedom Let’s start with clarity, because the noise around marijuana being moved to Schedule III is loud and often misleading. This is not legalization. It does not make cannabis federally legal. It does not suddenly protect users, growers, or dispensaries nationwide. What it does represent is a medical and financial shift , not a civil-liberties one — and that distinction matters. What Schedule III Actually Means Schedule III substances are officially recognized by the federal government as having medical value and a lower abuse potential than Schedule I drugs. This places marijuana in the same category as medications like ketamine, testosterone, and certain codeine formulations. What changes Medical value is formally acknowledged A major reversal of decades of federal denial. Research barrier...

GME — GameStop Won't Stop

Why GameStop Fans Are Buzzing About an Interactive Brokers Memo A beginner-friendly guide to the potential return of the GameStop “squeeze” Posted on December 13, 2025 If you’ve spent any time on Reddit lately—especially in communities like r/Superstonk or r/DeepFuckingValue —you’ve probably noticed a familiar buzz returning. This time, the excitement isn’t coming from a cryptic tweet or a sudden price spike, but from something far more subtle: an email from Interactive Brokers (IBKR) . At first glance, the memo looks boring—margin requirements, stress tests, and warrants. But for longtime GameStop (GME) watchers, these behind-the-scenes changes often matter far more than flashy headlines. If margin mechanics still feel confusing, don’t worry. Let’s break this down in plain English. A Quick Refresher: Why GameStop Still Matters GameStop ( GME ) is the video game retailer that became a market legend in 2021 when retail investors piled into the stock while hedge funds w...

Lessons learned From Dollar Tree — Spotting The Next Opportunity

Spotting the Next Opportunity: A Conversation With Grok Using DLTR as the Example How do you know when a stock is flashing a buy signal? What data actually matters, and what kind of alarms could you set to catch the next October-10th-level opportunity? Below is a full conversation-style breakdown with Grok, using Dollar Tree (DLTR) as the case study. This is based on the question: My Question: “What information would you have needed to tell me that on October 10th Dollar Tree (DLTR) was a good purchase? What alarms could I have set to let me know?” 🧠 Grok’s Answer: What Information Would Have Flagged DLTR as a Buy? On October 10, 2025, Dollar Tree closed at $87.61 , dipping from the prior day’s $89.02. That placed it near the bottom of its short-term trading range, and—looking back from December 2025 when it trades around $120 —that entry delivered roughly a 37% gain in two months. So what information would have been required to identify that moment as a...

SEC Pressures Nuking Accounts

Silenced Voices: The SEC's War on Retail Traders and the Trading Accounts Vanishing from X Posted on Wild Swing Trades Blog | December 9, 2025 In the wild world of swing trading—where we’re chasing explosive breakouts in tickers like $RR, $OPEN, and $BTAI —it’s easy to get lost in the charts and forget the bigger game. But zoom out for a minute. If you've been following momentum plays on X (formerly Twitter), you've likely noticed something rotten: the best voices—the ones calling out the machine and arming retail traders with real TA—are vanishing. Not for spam. Not for hate speech. But because they're too damn good at exposing cracks in the system. These were the traitors to the status quo. The ones calling out naked shorts, synthetic shares, and endless FTD games. Voices like @TreysTrades and @iluvtrading123 didn’t just post charts—they built communities. And now? They're gone. Conveniently. The Vanishing Act: How X Became a No-Fly Zone for Rea...

ZEC, ADA, HBAR

Weekend Contemplations with Grok Tiny Bags, Big Dreams Edition — December 8, 2025 Just another Monday staring at charts and pretending I have a plan. 😂 The Three Monsters Currently Living Rent-Free in My Head Coin Current Mood My Plan Zcash (ZEC) Just puked 40% after a 3× run. Classic privacy-cat behavior. If it tags the $340–$360 zone again → I’m adding one more tiny moon bag. Pure chaos energy, zero-stress sizing. Cardano (ADA) Quietly doing its thing while Midnight launched this week. Boring = winning right now. Do absolutely nothing until $0.65–$0.80, then peel a little profit into dry powder. The rest keeps compounding. Hedera (HBAR) Still stuck at prices that feel illegal given everything they’re shipping (national registries, ETF inflows, upgrades this week). Starting to scale in on any print under $0.138. This one hurts to buy… which usually means it’s exactly where I should be loo...

ZEC Breakout or Fakeout?

Zcash (ZEC) Price Snapshot – December 3, 2025 Zcash (ZEC) Price Snapshot – December 3, 2025 By Shane Shipman — December 3, 2025 Oh yeah, ZEC does look tasty right now — that 11.36% 24-hour pump has it flirting with $348.73 , bouncing off the ~$348 support like it's got something to prove. Your screenshot nails the vibe: a sharp downtrend from late-November highs around $600+, but today's green candle screams an oversold rebound with volume spiking over $1.6B . It's erased some of that brutal weekly bleed (-32% to -40% depending on the exchange), but the privacy coin narrative is heating up again amid regulatory noise and ETF buzz. Let's break it down with fresh data. Quick Stats (approx. 2:52 PM UTC) Metric Value Notes Current Price $348.90 USD Up ~9.1–11.4% in 24h; down ~32% WoW 24h High / Low $348.74 / $307.39 Tight range after testing $310 support Market Cap $5.72B ~#33...

Stock Market Casino Vibes

$KITT: The Ultimate Lotto Ticket of 2025? $KITT: The Ultimate Lotto Ticket of 2025? Date: December 3, 2025  |  Ticker: $KITT (Nauticus Robotics) Current price: ~$0.78 . A microcap with autonomy software, fresh commercial work, and a tiny market capitalization. If you treat $20 like a lottery ticket, this is the stock-market version — with slightly better odds and way more volatility. Quick facts: ToolKITT certification + first paid commercial ops: Nauticus announced that ToolKITT autonomy software is now certified for use on light work-class ROVs and has already completed its first paid deployment.

TISI 🧐 Go Team Go

Is TISI (Team, Inc.) Setting Up for the Next Leg Higher? Just Pondering the Probabilities Is TISI (Team, Inc.) Setting Up for the Next Leg Higher? Just Pondering the Probabilities December 1, 2025 I was staring at the monthly chart of Team, Inc. (ticker: TISI ) the other day — the one that looks like it fell off a cliff, hit the earth’s core, and then somehow blasted back toward the surface — and I couldn’t help but wonder: is this thing actually… bullish now? With the help of Grok (the AI built by xAI), I started stress-testing the idea of scaling into TISI around current levels (~$15). We built a few scenarios, slapped some rough probabilities on them, and came up with the table below. Think of it as a public brainstorming session — nothing here is financial advice, just one trader (and one very helpful AI) thinking out loud. Scenario Probability (my subjective weight) Timeframe Scaled Entry (avg cost) ...

Bitcoin — A Buying Opportunity?

Bitcoin Just Dumped 7% – This Dip Is Absolutely Delicious December 1, 2025 — WildSwingTrades Let’s not sugarcoat it — Bitcoin got smoked overnight: −7.4% in under 24 hours Now trading around $84,900 Over 32% down from the $126K top But if you’ve been in this game through a few cycles, you’ve seen this movie before… and you know how it ends. Why This Screams “Buy” to Me Structure is still perfectly bullish • Holding the $84.5–85K major zone like a champ • Hidden bullish divergence on multiple timeframes • Sell-off happened on falling volume — weak conviction from sellers Classic weekend liquidation wick Over-leveraged longs got rinsed in thin liquidity. These moves almost always reverse violently once the forced selling is done. Institutions never stopped accumulating Spot ETFs crushed it with inflows all November. Smart money has been buying every single dip above $80K this cycle. All the “bad news” is recycled noise ...

ADA Cardano Looks Poised For A Bounce?!

Cardano (ADA) Flash Crash = Swing Trader’s Dream? RSI 26 and Holding Key Support Cardano (ADA) Flash Crash = Swing Trader’s Dream? RSI 26 and Holding Key Support (December 1, 2025) Quick TL;DR: Cardano just hit nuclear-oversold territory (daily RSI ~26) while defending a major multi-month support zone around $0.38–$0.40. History + technicals + upcoming catalysts point to a high-probability mean-reversion bounce over the next 1–3 weeks. This is classic swing-trade setup material. Current Price (Dec 1, 2025): ~$0.385 Daily RSI: 26.55 (severely oversold) Primary Support: $0.38–$0.40 zone (holding so far) Potential Upside Targets: $0.45 → $0.50 → $0.58 (18–53% in 1–3 weeks) Why This Looks Like a Textbook Oversold Bounce Extreme RSI exhaustion – Sub-30 readings on the daily have preceded every major ADA rally in 2024 and 2025. Bullish divergences everywhere – MACD histogram ticking higher, Stochastic curling up, hidden bullish divergence on the 4H cha...
