Weekly Market Wrap: Stock Market Crash Resumes?
Weekly AMA on Instagram - Ask me anything about trading & investing, stock picks, market analysis, etc!
Last week, we saw a surge in the USD and CAD, and continued weakness in the JPY. This caused many of our existing positions to hit our profit target, allowing us to lock in profits. Soon, I will be posting the newest forex opportunities in the signals chat.
The stock markets continue to decline as predicted, with a few bull traps (small rallies) to lure in “value investors”, before breaking to new lows. Since I am net short, this means that the more the market goes down, the more profits we make on our positions.
The crypto markets are exhibiting choppy sideways movement, which is great for swing trading. It also allows me to hedge my long-term investment positions, which have made me additional profits while waiting for the long-term bull trend to resume.
