This past year was one of the craziest markets I’ve seen during my 37 year professional trading career…
The nonsense and noise was at an all time high… One week the market was up, the next week it was down… With very little justification for the moves…
I’m sure a lot of folks were on the losing end of all this chaos…
And that’s what worries me about 2022…
You see even with all the craziness in 2021, the overall market for the year was still bullish…
But what happens when that bullish trend stops?
Let’s be honest: Many active traders struggle even in mostly bullish conditions.
But sideways and bearish markets are especially challenging.
In these conditions, most traders either lose money or are forced to sit on the sidelines because they don’t know what to do…
Which is a big problem right now!
Because there are some major forces at play that could usher in a major bearish market…
Inflation is through the roof at 6.2 percent as of October!
The Government is determined to spend as much money as possible with almost no signs of stopping… For example - Look at this headline from the NY Post:
Or multi-billionaire Elon Musk who said "If we don't cut government spending, something really bad is going to happen. This is crazy."
Couple that with the fact that we are looking at a slower than expected economic recovery in the U.S…
And the fact that the virus is still producing new threats almost daily…
It’s easy to see how we could be headed for a bearish market soon or, at the very least, a slowdown into sideways markets.
And this won’t be good for the mainstream trader.
Which is precisely why I recently hosted a workshop to reveal the 4 strategies you can use in a sideways/bearish market to make smart and effective trades...
