Markets react to information relative to what was already expected, priced in and positioned for. This playbook shows how to work through that gap instead of treating every headline as a simple good-news or bad-news signal.
Each case starts with the event, then works underneath the headline to separate the result, the surprise, the economic consequence and the price reaction.
Consensus is only a reference point. Guidance, valuation, recent price action and positioning can all shape the market’s real starting point.
Separate new information from information the market already knew. A large change in the business is not automatically a large change for the stock.
Trace the effect on earnings, cash flow, costs, demand, rates, financing or risk instead of stopping at the headline.
Continuation, reversal and sector confirmation tell different stories. The second reaction can add context that was missing from the first print.
The goal is not to turn every headline into a trade. It is to build a disciplined way to understand the move that is already happening and to stop when the evidence stops.
Traders, analysts and market watchers who want to understand why markets move, not just what moved them. No signals, no predictions and no guru talk. Just a practical way to read the reaction.
