About the episode: 📉📈

Join Stephen and Eric as they dive into Monday’s brutal market sell-off and share practical strategies for navigating the chaos. They break down how their AppLovin short delivered a 33% profit in just one week and discuss why the NASDAQ's 4% plunge might present both dangers and opportunities. Stephen explains his recent Bitcoin entries and why he's selectively buying certain altcoins while eyeing specific meme coins like Pepe for potential shorts. The conversation turns to Tesla's changing market perception as a "political stock" and why this could create a compelling shorting opportunity with defined risk parameters. They also examine Ethereum's concerning chart patterns while acknowledging potential bounces to $2,500 before further downside. Whether you're looking to protect your portfolio or find opportunities in both directions, this episode offers straightforward analysis for traders navigating these volatile market conditions.
