Current Market Outlook and New Positions

After closing our previous short positions on Friday, we re-entered the market with new short positions:

  • S&P 500: Short position taken at 4,367 with a stop-loss set at 4,383.
  • Russell 2000: Short position established at 1,860 with a stop-loss at 1,866.

We anticipate the current downtrend to persist through Monday, potentially followed by a market reversal or U-turn from lower levels. This rebound is expected to start and continue through August 22-23, 2023. After this period, the market’s direction will become clearer, with the potential for further strategic adjustments based on market behavior.

These support levels are critical to watch as they may signal potential points for reversals or continuations of current trends.
