Ming Jong Tey Independent Analyst

In this video you will find out the following:

The significance of market breadth in determining the stock market’s health
How to use the market breadth signals to make more informed decisions
The trade management I am using in this ongoing volatile market to lock in profits yet still not missing out on the potential strong trend.
The potential path of the S&P 500 for a pullback/consolidation scenario and a market correction scenario.
And a lot more

The bullish vs. bearish setup is 439 to 51 from the screenshot of my stock screener below pointing to a positive market environment. 15 “low hanging fruits” (TCMD, IAC, etc…) trade entries setup + 29 others (ARGT, JPM, etc…) were discussed during the live webinar.

The short-term market breadth is close to overbought suggesting strength with alert while the long-term market breadth has further improved from last week.
