Markets often do this type of tactic. Some big sellers take advantage and sell big.

Late, hours to days, the market heads back up.

This has been the usual thing..... until ..... the merry go round stops. Then the market will crash.

Question is how far a drop now and far far back up, in time rof Santa's rally?

COULD WE EXPECT A MAJOR CRASH IN 2022?

Nikkei falls again today… are we going to experience a bearish week?

[skyreach]

Change of volume and momentum moves on the monthly to daily prices give a general indication of  likely longer term future.

Some think most markets have peaked viewing the existing total amount of borrowed money for investing because they think it is a no brainer and prudent rules go out of the window. The professionals have borrowed levels is at highest ever. This has been the precursor to bear markets.

When it starts, who can say? Anyone knows?

Also new public and other investors go into the market in its last stages. That is when some big professionals start to sell off, hence the big volatility moves in the markets. Some plausible public event / political event or an immediate negative drama unfolds is used to justify in the media why the sell off. The pattern is the same  every time.

Volatility increases , down huge amount, then up again, as the market makers have an agreed average sell price for their big clients. You cannot sell a huge quantity without the rest of the market sitting still, they sell into it too. So the price will go back up and more sell offs at the higher levels.  What happens after that depends on the general market's mood.

Lot of people, in the frenzy, think "the markets will ALWAYS GO UP AFTER A FALL / CORRECTION. But there comes a point it will  not. Still the players HOPE that it will go back up. Always investors usually experience sometime in their trading life.

1- The shorter ones wake up!!!
2- The longer ones tighten the buttocks a little 😁
