Bounce came as expected


Hello,

we have seen nice bounce last week. As you know I was expecting it .


Oil dropped down hard. I hope you traded this opportunity as I did.
Richard Koza

Something interesting happened during last weeks. Strong sectors like Energy and Basic materials made huge decline. They lost their strength.

I noted it in my blog. I made nice short trades in both sectors during last two weeks.

And earning season started. Also markets are in some bounce type move. It is time to be patient and not very aggressive. Markets are very nervous.

Markets are still in bearish mode. Therefore I see this rally as opportunity to find good short trade setups.I think that this rally will offer good risk reward short trade setups.

Major European economies started to show weak numbers. There are first signs of problems. I expect much more decline in European markets and finally in EUR too.

Happy trading,

Richard

Huge drop in crude Oil futures price last week made breakdown of important 6 month trendline. As you can notice there is no important support till 100 - 110 USD area. I think that all commodity related stocks including Energy and Base materials sectors will be hit by this decline.
