This is absolutely the market that “couldn’t”
It can’t go up…
It can’t go down…
It just trades side-to-side.
Honestly, I don’t care whether the market is bullish or bearish, but the narrow range we have been trading in since March definitely makes you earn your keep as a trader.
There still is opportunities out there, albeit not as easy to find as 2013 was, but when you find them, trading with tight stops and aggressively taking gains is a must.
After yesterday’s close it looked as if the market was ready to challenge 1900, but that couldn’t be further from the truth, as the short-term trend-line off of 4/28 lows looks ready for a possible break.
If that happens, all bets are off and this market will have lost any bullish edge it might have had coming into the day.
With that said here is today’s bearish watch-list.
Welcome to Swing Trading the Stock Market Podcast!
I want you to become a better trader, and you know what? You absolutely can!
Commit these three rules to memory and to your trading:
#1: Manage the RISK ALWAYS!
#2: Keep the Losses Small
#3: Do #1 & #2 and the profits will take care of themselves.
That’s right, successful swing-trading is about managing the risk, and with Swing Trading the Stock Market podcast, I encourage you to email me (ryan@shareplanner.com) your questions, and there’s a good chance I’ll make a future podcast out of your stock market related question.
Each year I like to take a moment to reflect on my swing trading from the prior year. The 2025 trading year offered a lot to be happy about, but it also changed my views in a number of ways and gave me some lessons to take from it, as well as some new perspectives to take into 2026 as I navigate the stock market for yet another year. I'm hoping this moment of reflection in this podcast episode will be as beneficial for you as it was for me in making it.
