Hi Trader,
With bullish activity across the board for most of the week, it seems the markets have been very excited about economic reopenings.
The S&P broke 3,000 on Tuesday and continues to show upward momentum.
The Dow cut through 25,000 like a hot knife through butter and is tickling 26,000.
And the Nasdaq seems on its way to achieving new highs, having already rebounded to pre-corona levels.
Now, all this bullishness is great…
But what's confusing for a lot of traders is the fact that the markets don't seem to be aligned with the current state of the economy.
Of course, you could spend hours listening to the financial talking heads discuss their theories on why this is…
But do you want to know my take?
Here it is…
It doesn't matter.
See, that's the beautiful thing about technical trading.
We don't concern ourselves with why markets are acting the way they are.
We simply focus on what the markets are doing…
Where they're heading…
And how we can capitalize on it.
You see, at the end of the day, markets are made up of people…
Their money, their hopes, their fears… and their greed.
It's just that sometimes, there's a lot more fear and uncertainty going around than at others…
Which can lead to wilder, more unpredictable swings.
But this is precisely why a technical approach trumps trading based on fundamental analysis and "sentiment"...
Because trying to accurately gauge market sentiment is ultimately a guessing game.
See, as technical traders, we rely on strategy…
Technique…
And tools to help us stalk advantageous trades like a hunter stalks his prey.
Of course, here at Hawkeye, we believe that the foundation of any technical trading strategy should be the ONLY indicator that actually leads price action…
Volume.
So if you're new to the idea of technical trading or would like to know why volume is so vital to your success as a trader…
