So, here we go, the year 2016 started with a bang, but a reverse one: the market imploded (actually it started to go down 2 days before the end of the year) and now we may be starting to see what many Slopers have desired for a long time: a BEAR MARKET.
Is it finally going to happen? Probably yes, it’s overdue. We think 2016 has really a high chance to see at least a 20% correction, but you know as it goes with predictions, everyone make one and then in the end they are all very unreliable as it is hard to actually predict anything in the stock market, aside from framing statistical behaviors (e.g. price patterns) that seem to happen repeated times in history and thus are somehow “predictable”. That is what we do at Retracement Levels.
