It was a down market last week, where major indexes like the Dow Jones fell over 400 points, putting a lot of traders on edge. On a day when the market was down over 170 points, Scott Bauer appeared on Fox Business to share his thoughts on how he would navigate these down markets, and why good news technically meant bad news for traders in these conditions.
Despite admitting these were very tough conditions to trade in, Scott gave some unique insights on a few details he would look for in these down markets. Scott broke down how he believes the market is trending overall, some key numbers he wants to see in major market indexes and indicators, and the specific moves he would look out for in a certain group of “high flying” stocks.
