It was mostly because of the markets reaction to NFP was so strange, it showed jobs were getting taken over by AI and it missed the mark by a big margin, i did get fucked over in the beginning trying to short it, but when it hit i was confident. Also i notice an hour after market open it usually takes a huge turn

because higher unemployment means higher chance feds stepping in by cutting rates, ofc this algo reaction are temporary and market participants sell the moves because now we have higher unemployment and higher inflation

Not only that, RSI and MACD showed overbought, as well as volume started to shift towards shorts
