The Shit to Know FRIDAYS!

Thanksgiving is supposed to be a day of rest — families gathered, plates overflowing, uncles arguing about politics, everyone slipping into gravy-induced comas. But markets don’t celebrate holidays; they stalk them.

While the tourists are passed out on the couch pretending to care about football, the real degenerates know this is when the tape reveals its next move. This is the part of the year where the strong get stronger, the weak get steamrolled, and the ones who actually live for this game sit at the table carving up charts instead of turkey.

Gratitude is nice. Positioning is better. And this year, Thanksgiving didn’t just bring leftovers — it brought signals that could reroute the entire end-of-year narrative.

Momentum
ZWEIG BREADTH THRUST ON THE BRINK

The ZBT is sitting right on the brink, and the tape is acting like it knows it. Breadth is snapping back with the kind of force we only see when markets are done pretending to be weak.

The last time we got this setup — right after the Liberation Day flush — it launched seven months of nonstop upside carnage that turned every “AI bubble” doomer into a monk of momentum.

If this signal actually triggers, every oversold high-beta name that looked like roadkill two weeks ago suddenly becomes a gourmet entrée. This isn’t one of those cute indicators people meme about. This is the nuclear button of market breadth, and the whole machine just leaned over it.

Technical Analysis
MONTHLY HANGING MAN CANDLE

November’s monthly candle on SPY is straight-up unpleasant — long wick, sloppy body, and the kind of structure TA purists print out so they can cry over it at night. But here’s the twist no one wants to admit: sometimes an ugly candle at the highs is the market digesting gains, not rejecting them.

If we simply move sideways for a bit and hold these levels without coughing up the rally, that chop becomes pure rocket fuel.

Consolidation up here is how parabolic legs are built. We’re either staring at exhaustion… or the coiling phase before the market sets new all-time highs with zero shame. The next two weeks will tell the story.

Macro Analysis
THE UNSTOPPABLE BULL THESIS

Buried under the holiday noise is the real driver of why this week repaired so much chart damage: the Trump team is making it painfully clear they’re going all-in on AI as the engine of U.S. growth.

AI capex isn’t just bullish — it’s federal doctrine now. Hassett remains the frontrunner for Fed Chair, which the market interprets as: “Rate cuts? Faster. Deeper. No hesitation.”

And then you’ve got Trump floating the idea of scrapping income tax altogether — which sounds cartoonish, but if even partially serious, it’s the most violently pro-equity narrative since the invention of QE. For asset owners, this is the start of a golden era. For everyone else… good luck outrunning inflation with vibes.

Merch Game
VHLA MERCH FOR THE REAL NIGGAS

And while the macro fireworks go off, we dropped new VHLA merch built specifically for the degenerates who live the market like a religion.

Not the tourists. Not the hobbyists. The printers, the moggers, the chads, the beauties — the ones who check futures before checking their pulse.

This isn’t clothing; it’s the uniform of people who choose volatility over comfort. Hit the IG.

Hit the site. Suit up. Monday isn’t going to ease you back in — it’s going to test whether you’re actually built for this.
