I certainly like this consolidation and chart pattern much more than the company itself but 24/7 trading may help the outlook of what's going on here. Another perceived tailwind may be declining CPI --> more money for retail to spend trading, even though we all know overall USD purchasing power continues to decline regardless of YoY CPI decreases.
Previously, there had been M&A rumors but that seems to have all but died down when SBF/FTX blew up. The DoJ seized 55 million shares of HOOD in January, so something else to keep in mind for this trade.
