Market Outlook for April – historically the strongest month | Technical Analysis | Stock Indices
New: Join our 3-hour live workshop with Spencer to learn the basics of trading and make your first live trade!
Based on my research, historically April is a strong month, ranked 2nd after December in terms of returns and the probability of closing up by the end of the month. However, after the long run-up, there does not seem to have any positive catalyst left, and may even be overbought, especially after the window dressing during late March. Hence I am expecting a brief pullback/consolidation of sorts.
Looking at the chart of the STI, we can see that it has tested and rebounded strongly from the support zone, and is close to breaking above the pivot of the W-bottom. However, due to its long run-up, it is very likely that there will be a pullback after the breakout in the event that one does occur. That will be a more optimal time for a long entry.
