Time to Market with IBD’s ETF Market Strategy
What are you doing now
There are stocks that have been flashing buy signals in recent days, particularly in the areas of energy suppliers and electric vehicles. However, the market rally is in decline, hitting short-term resistance. Powell’s speech is likely to be a catalyst for the market. So investors should be careful about adding too much exposure until then.
But be prepared. If the market rally rises based on Fed Chair Powell’s comments, a number of buying opportunities may emerge. So an updated watchlist will be essential. If the market slides lower, investors should be prepared to downsize.
