Carol Harmer Charmer Trading

The S&P 500 has experienced a sharp correction, but does this signal the end of the bull market or simply a healthy pullback?

In this video I analyse the key technical levels, support zones, Fibonacci retracements and market sentiment to determine whether this is a correction or the start of something much bigger.

After 44 years in the markets, I believe traders should focus on the facts, not the headlines.
