Reading the Market, Not the News
Structure, behavior, and second-order effects
© SwapHunt · 2026
Description
Reading the Market, Not the News is a collection of essays on interpreting market structure rather than reacting to headlines.
The essays explore how behavior, flow, and second-order effects often matter more than the stories that explain them.
There are no predictions, signals, or frameworks. Only observations on how markets communicate before news catches up.
