As you might have seen i have not traded for almost 4/5 weeks and there is a good reason behind it. When i saw the markets behaving erratically, every negative news being considered positive , iran issu/risk impact completely neglected ,focus on trade deal phase 1 (which aint even full of promises), tweets from trump and so on, i decided to sit back and just observe until i see a clear direction.
The wait has been long but fruitful considering nasdaq went from 8.2k to 9.1k within this span and this i think is extremely overdone. I was lucky enough (and yes you need to be sometimes lucky even in trading), to take some profits and get out before it was extremely blown out of proportion.
I still think we might be stuck in this phase 8-9.5k for a while until april when FED's monetary policy changes and it pulls out all its liquidity from the market.
factors which might affect Nasdaq: (besides tweets from trump and all that crap he spewns)
1. Earnings -> right now the only thing which can bring down the market is bad earnings. as you can see , no risk impact nor bad market data is being considered or looked upon.
2. bad gdp growth -> but i am doubtful about this since right now the market isnt focussing on fundamentals.
the fear and greed index is at record high right now and shows what kind of a state we are in , in the stock market.
Overall:
I am short on nasdaq at 9080
TP 8800
TP2 8500
TP3 8300
I will go back to buying once i see a good correction and pullback.
