The SHORT SQUEEZE continued:
Over the last 20 years, March 12th is the last day of the year that has a NEGATIVE average YTD return for the S&P 500, per @RyanDetrick.
Will history repeat itself this year?
Some hope for the bulls. https://t.co/EVumAs1hwg

The case for a SHORT SQUEEZE:
Since February 19th, the S&P 500 has erased -$5 TRILLION in its most one-sided move since the 2022 bear market.
Total PUT option volumes have surged to a record 30+ MILLION contracts over the last 5 days.
Is a short squeeze coming?

Market volatility has rarely been higher:
Call options volume on the Volatility Index, $VIX, hit ~1.5 million contracts last week, the 6th highest reading on record.
Volumes have DOUBLED over the last few weeks with the rise in market uncertainty.
By comparison, during the August 2024 selloff, call options volume hit nearly 2 million contracts.
This comes as the volatility index, $VIX, jumped ~13 points or ~100%, to 28, in 3 weeks.
Is there too much fear in the market?

The US Dollar is plummeting:
The US Dollar Index, $DXY, fell 3.5% last week, the second-largest drop since the 2020 pandemic.
The index is now on track for the third consecutive monthly decline.
The majority of the decrease was driven by the Euro, which strengthened 4.7% against the USD, its biggest rise since 2009.
Even as the trade war has escalated, the US Dollar is losing momentum.
Another sign of a historic year ahead.

When it comes to the camera system, both of these phones are excellent.
But based on the camera samples that I took, only one of them is truly consistent and reliable as a point-and-shoot camera (vivo X200 Pro).
I won't sugarcoat anything. I had extremely high expectations for the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, knowing that I also found the 14 Ultra to be underwhelming.
I hope they will fix the auto mode via updates.
