The Counterintuitive Truth About Market Drops

The secret behind last weeks reversal...

The market just taught us a powerful lesson...

During last week’s trading session, I watched something unfold that perfectly illustrates why most traders struggle with timing their entries.

Tesla had dropped sharply, and the instinct for most traders was to immediately start looking for a bounce.

But there was something else happening beneath the surface...

Instead of a clean V-bottom that everyone was expecting, price kept making new lows with each bounce getting progressively weaker.

This is exactly when most traders make their biggest mistakes.

They see a big drop and automatically think "oversold."

They start averaging down, trying to catch what they think is the bottom.

But here's what really matters...

True bottoms rarely form the way most traders expect. They're not about price reaching some magical oversold level.

They're about understanding the shift in institutional positioning.

I've developed a simple framework for navigating these drops:

  1. Watch the quality of bounces

  2. Monitor institutional order flow

  3. Track sector correlation

Because here's what separates consistently profitable traders from the rest...

They understand that timing isn't about predicting bottoms - it's about recognizing the conditions that lead to sustainable reversals.
