Will This Trigger a Market Bounce?

Hey, Ross here:

After a punishing pullback that’s about to enter its third month, the S&P 500 is now back where it was in early June.

But yesterday’s price action could herald a market bounce – the Chart of the Day explains why.

Chart of the Day

This is a chart of the S&P 500. Two things to notice here.

The first is the candle formed by yesterday’s price action. It’s called a hammer candlestick, because the candlestick body is short (i.e. looking like a hammer head) while it has a long lower shadow (i.e. the hammer handle).

Hammer candlesticks happen after a downtrend and are considered signals for a reversal pattern.

And as you can see, yesterday’s hammer candlestick also formed at a long-term trendline which connects the March 2023 lows AND the October 2022 lows.

The next move to watch for is whether the S&P 500 will be able to maintain this trendline or not.

If it does, that’s a good sign. If it breaks to the lower side, however, there could be more pain ahead.

Insight of the Day

The best opportunities will happen right at the beginning of a market reversal.

Yes, it’s always smart to let the price action confirm the trend before making a move.

But the most lucrative opportunities always happen at the beginning of a new trend.

So if the market is about to reverse, inaction is costly.

That’s why I’m going LIVE tomorrow at 12 p.m. Eastern to show you my #1 strategy for taking advantage of any potential reversal.

This strategy has already been responsible for multiple fast high double – and even triple – digit gains this year.

So you don’t want to miss it.

Just click here to save your seat now…

And I’ll explain everything tomorrow.

Embrace the surge,
