  "reply": "The market is in a sharp downtrend (SPY -3.49%, QQQ -4.55%) with no fundamental catalysts supporting the breakouts. All setups are closing-window breakouts or new session highs occurring on heavy volume but lacking news confirmation, which is a classic trap in a bear market. I will not buy into these setups against the strong headwinds. I will hold cash and wait for a more favorable market environment."
