Recent events in the financial markets have left traders and investors dazed and confused. On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average share index suffered its worst trading day since October, and then on Tuesday, it rallied by 550 points. Although the popular move among analysts was to state Covid fears were to blame, it now appears to have been a momentary sell off due to technical factors.
Whipsawing price action such as recently seen can be a great trading opportunity, but it can seriously impact the trading bottom line if you don’t catch it right. The question then is how to manage summer markets which until now have been drifting, only to be brought to life by unseasonal spikes in volatility. As is often the case with trading, the answer is to apply patience and discipline and avoid boredom trades.
It’s no coincidence that some high-grade brokers have started rolling out educational programs aimed at building trading core skills. This often coincides with what are supposed to be quieter summer trading patterns. Sticking with the educational approach and not getting fingers burnt on hard to call moves could be the best way to play the market at the moment.
