After An Up Day To Start The Year
One interesting study I showed in last night’s Subscriber Letter was to look at market performance following a positive 1st day of the year. Below are the results:
There appears to be a high probability of immediate follow-through. After the first 1-2 days, though, expectations expectations for the next 2-3 weeks turn negative.
In this blog I will be examining market action and quantifying my findings. Using sentiment, breadth, price and volume indicators - both standard and customized - I will try and uncover short-term edges which could be taken advantage of by market participants. I will frequently add opinion to these studies and may sometimes post opinions without quantifiable research behind them.
