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.

A Discord message from hobotae reading "For those of you who are unfamiliar with honey badger days, I drew this chart for you on how to trade tomorrow", with an attached phone screenshot of a hand-drawn buy-zone-to-power-hour price sketch

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:
