Buying This Dip? The Charts Say You May Be Waiting a Long Time
In this discussion with David Lin, I break down what the recent market selloff really means and why many investors rushing to “buy the dip” may end up stuck underwater far longer than they expect. We walk through the S&P 500’s key technical levels, how prediction markets reflect shifting sentiment, and why trend, momentum, and money flow continue to signal caution.
We also touch on Bitcoin’s trend structure, the underlying pressures in gold and the US dollar, and how each fits into the broader risk-on and risk-off landscape. To close, I outline the rules-based trading approach I rely on to avoid emotional decisions and protect capital when volatility spikes.
