The Bounce Worth Waiting For?

I closed my short positions on Wednesday last week because the market was showing signs of reversal and I would not be around when the market opened on Thursday - Hari Raya visiting. Thus I am locking in my profits. The market dropped further on Thursday and Friday last week. The DOW index and the S&P500 Index breached its 78.6% Fibonacci level.

However, towards the end of Friday's close, the market bounced significantly from its lows. The news that the G7 countries are working on something definitely helped. The VIX index was also on an all-time high. The market is grossly oversold. It needs to rest and have a short rally. I have bought Nov SPY Call on Friday. So far it is positive. Will it gapped up and bounce up today? We shall see what happens next .....


Over the weekend, the G7 countries dissapointed the market. They have done N.A.T.O. - No Action, Talk Only stance. However, the EU countries are more aggressive in soothing the markets. That could help in reducing the panic. If the European markets and Asian markets ends positive today, it is likely that the US markets ends positive too today - unless more bad news are released again.
