We Are So Back!
What's Up,
The market is crushing it -- I hope you are too!!! Out of last week's five trading days, we bagged five green daily bars. In fact, the market's recent performance was so strong that we are only 0.50% away from a new all-time high in the S&P 500. How long will it last? I have absolutely no clue, but I will be riding the trend as long as it persists.
You're probably wondering what was announced that caused the market to be so bullish. The accurate, yet confusing, answer is nothing. There were a handful of macroeconomic announcements, but nothing that was massively impactful. The same could be said about individual earnings announcements. We are in a strange market phase where the lack of bearish news is seemingly being interpreted as bullish.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining at all. Piper's signals hit with perfection. I obviously would love for the trend to continue, but I'm not holding my breath on that outcome. This upcoming week has considerable number of events we should all pay attention to. There are various economic announcements, Fed speeches, and earnings reports.
As always, I'll take what the market offers. I'm not inherently bullish or bearish. I simply want to ride the trend as long as I can. With that in mind, the current trend is clearly bullish, so I'm heading into the week with a bit of optimism.
All the key details for the upcoming week are posted below -- Godspeed.
