The Market Just Crashed. Should You Be Buying SoFi, Meta, and Cybersecurity Stocks Right Now?

Recent market turbulence has led to significant declines in equity prices, particularly affecting technology and cybersecurity stocks, including Meta Platforms. This crash is primarily driven by a shift in risk appetite among investors, as concerns over economic stability and rising interest rates prompt a reevaluation of growth-oriented investments. Meta, along with other tech stocks, is particularly exposed due to its reliance on advertising revenue, which may be impacted by reduced consumer spending. Traders will be closely watching upcoming earnings reports from major tech companies, as these results could provide insights into the sector's resilience amid current market conditions.

HIGH-impact news is typically a market-moving event with multi-pip or multi-percent intraday reactions. Examples include central bank rate decisions, major CPI/NFP releases, geopolitical shocks, mega-cap earnings beats/misses, and regulatory announcements. Traders typically position-reduce or hedge ahead of scheduled HIGH-impact events, and follow the wire in real time to react to unscheduled ones (war headlines, central-bank emergency statements, surprise corporate actions). The Trading News Terminal squawk box reads every HIGH-impact headline aloud the moment it hits the wire — so active traders don't have to stare at the feed.

Active traders typically follow a three-step workflow when a market-moving headline hits the wire: (1) read the headline on the terminal or hear it on the squawk box; (2) assess whether the news is already priced in (by checking intraday price action in the seconds before) or whether it's genuinely new information; (3) act — either entering a breakout position, fading an overreaction, or tightening stops on existing trades. Trading News Terminal's Pro plan delivers wire-grade headlines within seconds of the source, with automatic audio squawk on every HIGH-impact event, so the read-assess-act cycle never waits on a refresh button.
