If you've been trading and investing long enough... (For me 25 years)
You know that the 'News' conveniently gets released, to support market moves that have already happened.
Not always, but more often than not.
This news headline today makes me laugh, because we clearly shot up to technical resistance.
People who say TA 'Doesn't Work' also make me laugh, because TA is the visualization of the news being disseminated (Usually before it reaches the public).
That, and the group psychology of the masses, or the 'Composite Man' as Richard Wyckoff originated.
We caught that nice market pump over the past week and a half, and it doesn't take a brain surgeon to see that we're due for a short-term pullback.
Likely then bouncing higher, along with the stronger Weekly cycle.
But of course, it's all about the news and fear surrounding the 'rates and DOJ action'...
Which of course gets priced in almost in real-time, once the bigger players, whales and hedge funds get this information first.
Who else has watched the Netflix show Billions?
"Are you certain?"
"I am not uncertain"
