Weekly Market Wrap: Best Swing Trading Opportunities in Volatile Market!
New: Join our 3-hour live workshop with Spencer to learn the basics of trading and make your first live trade!
With the recent market volatility, swing trading tactics are especially useful, allowing traders to make a killing by flipping between long and short positions every few days to maximise profits.
Hence, I have been updating my portfolio allocations and trading positions to my subscribers almost daily, because time is of the essence.
Since the market direction is not clear, instead of going in big in either direction, it makes more sense to stay nimble and take small positions on either side to chalk up small wins.
Over time, many small wins can add up to large profits!

For our weekly market wrap, we go through some of the trade calls and analysis from last week, which gives us valuable insights for the week ahead.
We cover 3 main markets with a total of 200+ counters, so we will never run out of trading opportunities:
- Forex, CFDs, commodities, bonds
- US stocks, ETFs, global stock indices
- Cryptocurrencies, crypto indices
By covering a broad range of markets, we can focus our attention (and capital) on whichever market currently gives the best returns.

Portfolio Highlights
Some quick portfolio updates
Forex & Commodities Market Highlights
USD continues to be the strongest
Following up on EURCAD, it has dropped almost 1000 pips since our last trade call! ????
Following up on EURUSD, it has hit TP1, and is on track to hit TP2, although there might be some strong support at 1.000.
Can the EUR really drop below the USD? Last time that happened was almost 20 years ago.
Following up on USDSGD, after hitting the first TP, it has broke new highs and looks ready to head to TP2! ????
Stock & Bond Market Highlights
The US bond market is on pace for its worst year in history with a loss of 10.4%.
Remember how I have been saying that I have started accumulating high growth stocks?
Both the ARK Genomic Revolution ETF (ARKG) and ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) have gone up about 30% in the last month! ????
Following up on the NASDAQ 100 (US100) and S&P 500 (US500), the short-term price action is also bullish, so I have closed my short positions and taken profits to wait for a better price to short.
Crypto Market Highlights
Crypto seems to be having a small rebound, so I’m closing my shorts and taking profits on Bitcoin (BTCUSD) and Ethereum (ETHUSD) for now. ????
Will continue to monitor for new trading opportunities.
Following up on Ethereum (ETHUSD), prices have gone up about 10% since I closed my shorts.
If you look at the 2 strong white bars, it shows the short-term price action is bullish so you should either be flat or long.
In the medium-term, the trend is still down, unless prices are able to break above 1280.
Similar to ETH, this is where I flipped short and long on Bitcoin (BTCUSD) in the past 1-2 weeks using price action.
I normally prefer not to do such short-term trades but the market is choppy so we have to adopt a fast-in fast-out strategy.
Good luck, and may next week bring more excellent profits!
