This is all you need to know about the market right now.
The conditions simply aren’t favorable to be aggressive at the moment. There are times to make money and times to protect it. Right now is about protection and managing risk. There is little reward in forcing long positions here.
Maybe this is just a temporary pause. Maybe it turns into something larger. Nobody actually knows. And the good news is that you don’t need to know.
You just need to be prepared. The next window of opportunity will come. When the market improves, it will be obvious.
Strong setups will come back. Leaders will reemerge. Breakouts will hold. You will have plenty of time to get back in. Corrections always create opportunities.
It is so much easier to make money in the markets when you have the wind at your back. And sometimes sitting still and doing nothing is the hardest part.
Patience matters.
You do not miss the next bull move by being patient and waiting for confirmation. You miss it by blowing up your capital.
