Downtrend confirmed


Hello,

huge sell-off on Friday marked new downtrend move.

As I wrote already 2 weeks ago, markets are starting new downtrend.
Richard Koza

Especially Dow Jones is weakest of three major US indexes  I monitor - therefore I am long Ultra short ETF DXD.

Although I have to say that I see relative strength in several technology sectors. Watch Biotechnology and Software. I will plan some long swing trades in best stocks from these sectors in next weeks
 
I am also very bearish on bonds. I think that era of low interest rates is near the end. Technical chart situation is also bearish so I am short bonds by Ultra short bonds ETF. If you are interested in same type of trade you can use Interest rate futures on long side too.

I think we can expect interesting summer this year again.

Happy trading,

Richard
