Slowly up


Hi,

Finally markets reached point where panic is vanishing. Investors are trying to calm their emotions. And look onto their portfolios and also think about share prices.

It means that we have seen small bounce and we could see more days with rising markets.

But I think that everybody is shocked with power of selling during last months. And so bulls are very quiet and will be only slowly coming back to the market.

Next weeks also could bring  more "normal" trading. It means that relative strength principle will start to work again. Some sectors and shares starts to look attractive to buyers. Another will continue to demonstrate relative weakness.

It is too early now to say which sectors will be playground for bulls during next weeks or month. There are only few signs to tell it exactly right now. it also means that there are not too much stock trade setups.

I personally trade slowly, trying to "test water" with smaller position size. And I am very selective.

I want to point that I like USD strength. I am reading some good analyzes telling me that we are at the beginning of bull trend for USD. And I use this advice to arrange my trades this way. If you do not trade FX markets directly you can use Currency ETF stocks.


Happy trading,

Richard
