Not a trade tip — ways to use the insight outside the market.
- Look into social media competitor advertising trends to gauge if Reddit's drop is company-specific or industry-wide.
What would break this thesis
- A rapid recovery above prior resistance levels invalidates the bearish momentum thesis.
- Further broad-market tech sell-offs could drag the stock down regardless of fundamentals.
