As deemed by my subjective opinion, and excluding January (since it's already happened). For reference, I consider myself way too online, and have push notifications on for news alerts.

This market will close every Saturday at 6 pm eastern for me to think about whether or not it was a busy news week (unless a story leads me to preemptively determine it has been). If not, this resolves NO; otherwise it'll resolve YES. If I miss a week and can't tell if I thought it was busy or not, I'm just gonna N/A this question.

• Update 2025-01-29 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Additional Resolution Criteria:

  • The week of 1/26 is preemptively considered a busy news week.
