In today’s Trader’s Mindchat, we dive into the intense market landscape post-election and explore if we’re experiencing euphoria and parabolic moves you should sell into. With major indexes seeing massive price gains, including Tesla’s breakout and the Russell 2000’s strong recovery, it’s time to ask: is this the start of something big or a signal to sell into strength?
