🚨 Reddit just walked into the S&P 500 — and Wall Street has no choice but to buy 👀
Reddit officially joins the S&P 500 today, taking AvalonBay's old seat. That means every index fund tracking the benchmark now has to own $RDDT, no opinions involved. JPMorgan puts the forced buying at roughly 16.7 million shares, nearly $3B in mechanical demand. 📊
The stock already ran hard on the news, popping as much as 12.6% Friday. Then the classic "sell the news" move kicked in — #RDDT gave a chunk of that back Monday, closing near $178, down about 7% as early positioners took profit ahead of today's actual inclusion.
Spike on the announcement, fade into the effective date, then see where real flow settles once the dust clears. Same mechanics show up when a token gets added to a major index or ETF basket too, worth filing away. 🧠
NFA, DYOR.
