Market Heats Up

Over the past month, we've started to see a distinct change in character in market action. For about two years, stock market conditions have been very difficult, with the S&P 500 falling over 25% from its' 2021 high. However, since the 2022 low, the S&P 500 has been rallying upward, especially after capitulating in March 2023. The first positive action came from large cap stocks like META, Netflix, TSLA, and NVDA. Now, we are starting to see signs of strength from smaller cap stocks as evident in the chart of the Russell 2000 below. In addition, growth stocks are beginning to participate as we have seen in stocks like PLTR, MNDY, and the FFTY ETF. ABNB and UPST have also showed quite impressive action. One of the themes I have noticed is that many of the hot IPOs from late 2020-early 2021 like PLTR, ABNB, and UPST that went through deep corrections in 2022 are now starting to see institutional money flow into them. This is an excellent indication that things are starting to heat up.










If you missed buys in some of these, it's not a good idea to chase them. Wait for proper entries so that you can manage your risk. However, if you've been caught up in the gloom and doom of the news, it's always best to let the charts have the final say. I make it a point to see what people say to me about the stock market when I'm at social events. Just this past July 4th, I was at my fiancée's family barbeque and her cousins remarked to me about how dangerous the stock market is. One even recounted how a friend lost over $60,000 holding a stock as it collapsed in 2022. A frequent theme that keeps popping up in these anecdotal conversations is how its' best to just put your money in a CD than have to deal with the volatility of the stock market. When I hear these type of statements while looking at charts like the ones in this post, I know everything I need to in order to gauge the market environment.

Risk right. Sit tight.

I Hypothetical Performance Disclosure I Terms Of Services | Risk Disclosure

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
