honestly, im leaning completely neutral, again this was a great example i was using to help a friend. im going into the week neutral.
so the way im thinking of trading this week esp monday and tuesday, are the smaller regional banks stronger then expected or as better then feared. ima be long. if they are terrible and there is red flags everywhere, im going to get short. and im not going to be overly aggressively long cuz the deeper we get into 416, 417, 418, the deeper this resistance is, so not gonna be over aggressive with the long. like maybe we get one green candle day maybe bank earnings arnt as bad people think, but if they're bad and we get a gap down ima be short from fridays top to 406. 406 is a beautiful level that we can play off of. and look for down side. IF theres bank fears it (406) was multiple support for several days it was resistance for a days before, then it was support, but we dont know what the bank earnings will be. sometimes im more confident then others times, i said on march 29th we were going to have a bear market rally to 415/417. im not that confident ill wait to see the earnings over next two trading days.
react dont predict. the bank earnings, cpi, ppi, jerome powell. we can have an idea but no one knows for sure. play the odds taking the best high probability set ups and putting yourself Infront of that set up over and over again. you never know exactly how much you can potentially earn. but you can know exactly how much you can lose. aka risk management.
may your stops never hit and your percentage gains 4-7x over what you were aiming for. peace out im rambling enough. lets go!
