Market Summary:
Here are the concepts I discussed in the two 2024 Preview Videos: 1) I am bullish over the next 6-12 months because of all the technical strength we saw from November through January. The institutions aggressively came back into the markets because of the new bull market powered by AI, and they are anticipating the Fed lowering rates this year. 2) Does that mean we will go straight up with no pullbacks? Of course not! That’s why I’ve also discussed the theme of “using the 21-day EMA as your guide.” 3) Stay focused on the best growth stocks/ETFs out there. 4) Get strong entry points and manage your trades based on your timeframe and overall investment plan. If you don’t have a plan, please continue to finetune it and work on one that fits your situation. 5) Manage risk and stick to your stops. Just because it’s a bull market doesn’t mean everything is going to work out.
The theme of this video is the market continues to give us information about its strength. In the two 2024 Preview Videos, I outlined my reasoning for a strong year this year. The market continues to prove this strength in two ways: 1) Through the resiliency of the major indexes. 2) Through the price action of the leading growth stocks. I discuss both of these factors in this video. I was expecting some weakness after the March OpEx, but the market found support near its 21-day and continued higher this past week. From here, we might see some backing and filling this week, but overall, I think we will continue to see strength over the next 3-6 weeks. The market is likely to see new money flowing in at the beginning of the month/quarter, and while going through my screens, many leading growth stocks continue to show great price action and are offering decent buy points. If you have any questions, you can ask them during the next LIVE webinar which will be tomorrow, Sunday, March 24th at 7PM EST. Thank you and enjoy the remainder of your weekend.
