What is a Honey Badger Day

The honey badger signal comes out daily between 6-7pm PST. If you look at the Short Squeeze pane, you want to pay attention to the Honey Badger SP500 values. If it's over 60, then the following day is considered a badgerish day, or a weak honey badger day. If it’s 65 or above, then the following day is an official honey badger day. The higher the value, the stronger the honey badger day.

A honey badger day only applies to SPY.

A honey badger day means that there is a lot of shorting in the market, which means that all of those shorts need to buy to cover, which creates bullish pressure in the market. That bullish pressure tends to present in the latter half of the day.
