π― Eva's Read
Uranium is the story for the desk. BOE (BOE) β10%, DYL (DYL) β7%, PDN (PDN) β4% β the whole complex sold off with no single catalyst other than Boss's guidance. These are not drift moves, they're structural repricings. For long-term CHESS holdings that is fine to sit through; for anything on trend/stop management it is a different story. Worth a fresh eyes session Monday before any averaging-down decisions β sentiment is still aimed lower and there's no sign of a bid.
