ETF Trading with Larry Connors: Bear Market Behavior Taking Hold of the Markets
An overnight, global sell-off is weighing on the futures early this morning as the bear market behavior begins to take hold. With so many stocks under their 200-day ma, the path of least resistance is down until a reversal occurs.
For those of you trading from the signals within The Machine, you’re beginning to see the healthy gains on the short positions – especially in stocks. This would be expected especially this early into the bear cycle as its beginning to replicate the same behavior seen in 2001-2002 and also 2008.
The market is likely going to require some sort of major event, either political or a string of unexpectedly strong economic reports, to reverse course from here.
The above is from Larry Connors’ Daily Battle Plan.
