Higher‑low price pattern persists

Headlines that are often noise
- Recycled commentary that does not change expectations
- One-off social media reactions without broad market confirmation
- Low-signal headlines that do not affect the core thesis or positioning
Best workflow after a headline
- Identify which catalyst the headline touches.
- Decide whether it changes probabilities enough to matter.
- Confirm with the chart before allocating risk.
