Today is President's Day.
Traditionally, the Market is closed today.

That means today's gains on DWAC and tomorrow's gains on DWAC are going to come in at the same time tomorrow.
Everything going on today is speculation, which means controlled by their algorithms and the international appeal. The US Market is not entirely reflected in the current numbers.
Since they are naked-shorting the stock, a "day off" means they cannot anticipate just how much of a splash it is going to make.
That's why Truth Social announced a delay to mid/late March and then span around and did it on the 21st like they said they would anyway. It was an easy opportunity to feint the market.
I expect some hedge funds are biting their nails right now. Tomorrow is gonna be explosive. Expect censorship and hush-hush on some people taking the window exit tomorrow in New York.
While I know market theory, I've not engaged with it myself.
The reason being? There are too many sharks waiting to dupe you into the "official" way to trade.
Basically, in order to trade stocks you need a stock-broker on location in Wallstreet, or whatever your regional hub is, buying and selling shares as all the machines are whirling in front of him.
These guys buy up shares in bulk, and then their team down the street moves them to the proper holding groups.
Those holding groups have several shell companies which sell the shares to the end-holder, which would be you and I.
When you buy stock, it necessarily has to go through several hands of ownership before you can lay claim to it.
And depending on what company you are moving your stocks in, depends on whether or not you simply have a stake in ownership (that is a claim to what the broker group owns) or whether or not you actually have the ownership certificate in your possession.
So, you have to pick your poison. Which group do you give your bank account information to own your stocks which you simply lay claim to?

Robinhood, as an example is one of them. You have all your stocks wrapped up in Robinhood, but you don't technically own them. You just have a stake in them. Robinhood's corporate overlords own the stock, and have the capacity to cash you out by force if they don't want to deal with you anymore.
That's how they got away with shutting off the ability for people to buy DWAC when it came out. Because you don't own the stock, you just own the stakes and the money you gave them. They are the ones buying the stock, not you. You simply provide the capital.

But you can purchase the stocks and then computer share them so that it is the same as having the paper copies. Not sure if direct computer sharing is a option with Robinhood though
Yes, in this day and age … it’s all IOUs, gone are the paper certificates :)
