"Sometimes the probabilities are very close to certainties, but they're never really certainties." ~Murray Gell-Mann
The Indian Markets did bounce back hard on Friday after a small beating on Thursday.
Was there any way one could have predicted this?
NO (apologies for the misleading title but this was an important article you had to read).
Was there any way one could have been biased towards this incoming bounce?
YES (IMO).
In this article, I will show you what I saw post-Thursday close which biased me.
Before that, please read this article (link) on how every bounce in this bull market has been preceded by a market-wide shakeout event.
The Shakeout Scanner spikes again:
And that was the exact reason I was biased about a bullish day to come.
here is what I wrote for my daily breadth update (link):
Now, although highly correlated, a shakeout may not always accompany a Bounce.
Therefore, there are additional triggers one can look for that follow on the bounce day. These triggers, also mentioned in the breadth update are as follows:
The Net 4% data will turn positive.
ORBOs will cross ORBDs
Both of these signals came early on the bounce day on Friday.
Net4% crossed at 10.15 am.
ORBOs (open range breakouts) crossed ORBDs (open range breakdowns) soon after:
That’s all for today.
