Moon / Mooning

Crypto and meme-stock slang for a token or stock experiencing a parabolic price surge. The phrase "to the moon" became a rallying cry in cryptocurrency communities during the 2017 and 2021 bull markets, expressing the belief that a particular asset's price would rise to extraordinary heights. While the term captures genuine excitement, it also serves as a useful contrarian indicator -- when everyone is shouting "moon," experienced traders start looking for the exit.
