Nasdaq futures slid more than <strong>100 points<\/strong>, setting a weak tone heading into Asia. Our algo picked up the downside momentum and initiated a <strong>short position<\/strong>, riding the trend lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Asia opened, price paused briefly before continuing to grind down. Meanwhile, <strong>Bitcoin showed pockets of strength<\/strong>, diverging from equities temporarily.<br>Our short was later closed for a <strong>profitable exit<\/strong>, starting the day in the green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Morning Session &amp; US Open<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Market dipped soon after midnight, our robot made a quick short position, which was closed for a small profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Europe came online and sentiment shifted, Nasdaq began climbing steadily, triggering our system to flip long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then came the 8:30 AM economic data:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Continuing Claims:<\/strong> 1.866 million (previous 1.913 million)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Initial Claims:<\/strong> 199 k (previous 215 k)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A strong labor print fueled a quick rally, futures spiked, and our long closed out nicely.<br><strong>Realized profit increased to <\/strong><strong>1<\/strong><strong>94 dollars.<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the single-name side, <strong>Nvidia pushed above 190 pre-market<\/strong>, while <strong>Bitcoin broke past 89,000<\/strong>\u2014risk appetite briefly returning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But once the <strong>9:30 AM cash bell rang<\/strong>, momentum shifted sharply.
