Weekly Market Wrap: Easy Profits from Swing Trading Crypto
New: Join our 3-hour live workshop with Spencer to learn the basics of trading and make your first live trade!
Last week, the market continued to whipsaw, but for short-term traders, this provided many good swing trades on markets such as stocks, crypto, commodities, etc.
Most of my portfolio is still held in cash, because I do not want to risk my capital in such volatile markets, but using just a small percent of my portfolio to swing trade is enough to generate $10-20k of monthly profits as some side income while waiting for the markets to stabilise.
The next major thing to look out for is the upcoming rate hike, with an expected 100 basis points, so we will need to see how the markets react to that.
Strangely, the prices of commodities have already started to come down, so that might help tame inflation.
