Trading Dual Honey Badger Days - 3.21.25 and 3.24.25

BigShort warned its users of a Honey BadgerISH Day leading up to March 21st 2025 and then a full Honey Badger Day on March 24th 2025. Per usual, it turned out to be very lucrative.

The night before the badgerish first day, BigShort Founder Tae shared this mocked up trading plan outlining a buy early, sell by Power Hour strategy:

The screenshots below are from BigShort's v1 era; the app's interface has since been updated, but the setups and mechanics they show are unchanged in today's app.

Which played out exactly as advertised. Tae followed up immediately after close on the 21st with this:

A slide captioned "I posted the below chart yesterday, to get you guys to buy in the yellow zone today", showing the hand-drawn sketch circled in red beside a BigShort SPY chart for 03/21/2025 with a yellow buy zone, a purple power hour zone, and a blue arrow tracing the day's climb

Then, the true HBD also delivered as advertised gaining ~$5 on SPY for the day:

Many BigShort traders made significant gains, including the experts like Tae himself as well as brand new users making their first trades!:
