Swing Trading Strategy: Is this the bottom… There are plenty of people out there that love to tell you that this is the bottom, or others who will say this is a temporary relief rally, aka ‘dead cat bounce’. But in all honesty – none of them know, or have any ability to know for

Swing Trading Strategy: Where Panic sets in… Hitting levels all throughout this week that seemed like a bounce was near, and the following a Presidential prime time address that the market puked all over, the futs are limiting down in pre-market action and stocks look to bathe in the blood of investors.

Swing Trading Strategy: Dead cat bounce or Buy the dip? You’re asking that question to yourself right now aren’t you? The price action today embodied that of a possible bottom in the market. I’m not overly confident that the bears are going to kill this market rally right away, but tomorrow will be a key
