Stock Trading Alert

Concluding, the broad stock market slightly extended its short-term move up on Wednesday, as the S&P 500 index got closer to the level of resistance at 2,030-2,050. For now, it looks like a volatile medium-term consolidation following last year’s October-November rally. We prefer to be out of the market, avoiding low risk/reward ratio trades. We will let you know when we think it is safe to get back in the market.
