Watchlist Update: Weak Stocks Can Always Become Weaker

The selling continues… Last week, I shared why I was bearish on the market and expected stocks to continue lower.  Unsurprisingly, that is exactly what happened. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 each fell roughly 6%. And BTC dropped another 22% last week!

How a False S&P 500 Breakout Turned into a Real Breakdown

In late May, I gave you several key support and resistance levels for the S&P 500 index that I continue to have my eyes on.

Here’s What to Watch as We Wait for the Bottom

About a month ago, I wrote an article called, Three Big Reasons Why The S&P 500 Could Fall Further. We looked at the S&P 500 index alongside the S&P 500 Volatility Index (VIX) as well as market breadth. Putting all three together, it was clear to me that stocks were in for further selling at … The post Here’s What to Watch as We Wait for the Bottom appeared first on Stock Surge Daily.

How Alpha Traders Are Handling This Wild Market
