The Market 📈
One would think heading into today that the market is about to get clobbered after the chaos unfolding in Washington, but wait I have something for you to lean on!
We run quite a few statistics on the market everyday but the one I found the most reliable is that each stock has a unique price action footprint that we call the average true move.
During the bear market of 2022 the #SPY moved in 30 point increments when it declined and pretty much every time it was spot on.
So coming into Wednesday with bearish headlines galore one would think “Look Out Below.” And technically you would be correct, but good trading relies on good statistics so we can ignore our research.
I’m not saying we’re going to have a massive bullish rally today but unless something fundamentally changes, the likelihood of going lower has decreased.
So this is one of those moments where you look for relative strength, look for confirmation using minimum viable criteria and go get some bullish cash flow if it’s on the table.
You shouldn’t be shocked if it happens. So be prepared.
The one thing we’re looking for from a bigger picture perspective is whether or not Healthcare and consumer staples stocks start to catch a bullish bid.
These sectors represent the things we need to buy regardless of inflation. Stuff like Band-Aids, healthcare plans and basic goods. Something to keep an eye on for the remainder of 2023 to find bullish stacked to order flow that we can lean into and finish the year strong.
