THE SHORT-TERM TREND IS DOWN, I HOLD BOTH LONG (TRAPPED) AND SHORT OVER THE WEEKEND

The bottom line, it’s very rare today’s low is the low.

No idea about the next Monday, seasonality seems not very bull friendly.

1

Cobra Impulse System is trying to buy dip here if break above today’s high and close in green the next Monday.

Enjoy your weekend!
