Are Volatility Levels Pointing to Major Bounce? Plus My Top ETF Pick

by | May 19, 2022 | Market Updates

U.S. stock futures are down yet again this morning, but there are many signs telling me the market bottom is near — and more in Thursday’s stock market recap.

The put/call ratio is at 1.19, which is huge because we haven’t gone to these levels in quite some time. I mean, the last time we were trading around these levels was the COVID-19 crash of 2020, so don’t say this lightly. 

If you turn your attention to the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (NYSEArca: DIA), you’ll notice it’s sitting right at its previous lows and starting to bottom out. And if you look at its average true range, which measures volatility, you’ll see that it’s peaking out. 

This tells me that the market’s downside pressure was too much too fast, which means there’s a great chance stocks will experience a big bounce. 

In this morning’s stock market recap video, I’ll show you why I believe stocks are oversold… which sector is set to rise… an update on earnings and expectations for retail stocks… why the bond market is so choppy right now… a deep look into market internals and the current divergence… and whether volatility is peaking or not. 

Don’t forget to like and subscribe to our YouTube channel if you haven’t already so you can be notified as soon as we post our next video and see what other trade opportunities we’re paying close attention to! 

P.S. I’m willing to bet everyone is tired of hearing about things like the Russia-Ukraine crisis, inflation and the Federal Reserve…

And if you’ve decided to take a more bearish stance because of them, I don’t blame you. 

The danger we’ve seen in the markets the past couple of months has left a sour taste in our mouths. But here’s the thing… 

I recently discovered a key indicator that finally has me feeling bullish.

So I decided to put together a “meat and potatoes” training class to cover everything people need to know about the key indicator I’ve found, and why I’m so happy about the current economy’s trajectory.

I’ll give you all the details you need to execute this plan.
