💡 Zebra Stock Academy Lesson (Daily Tip):
🔎 “Trend is your friend, but don’t marry the trend.”
When markets are in a clear downtrend or under heavy selling pressure, protect capital first — use proper stop-loss, watch key support levels, and avoid chasing lows without confirmation. Practice patience; sometimes the best trade is no trade until the trend stabilises.
🙏 Have a profitable and disciplined trading day ahead!
