The market price movement and option order flow on Thursday were similar to those on Wednesday. The buyer players who opened with PUT gathered to take advantage of the market correction to go short. By midday, the momentum of selling dried up, and the market ushered in another environment of stabilization within the day. Subsequently, in the follow-up market, the market momentum still received continued support and buying.

Emotionally

Two consecutive days of intraday volatility effectively relieved short-term sentiment, but two days of selling did not have much impact on medium-term sentiment. According to the AAII sentiment indicator, bullish sentiment among individual users of US stocks continued to rise last week, and the latest bullish reading should cool down next week, given the short-term intraday volatility.

Is it still possible to trade bands?

This should be a concern for many traders right now, especially after a sell-off of positions in early trading yesterday (although the market rebounded after midday), but imagine how traders would deal with themselves if the decline continued to extend to the next trading day.

So yesterday's early correction should be interpreted as a wake-up call. If you are uncomfortable with the decline in early trading yesterday, you have exposed too much of your exposure. At present, Sister Hua's team will not carry out any band trading, taking chestnuts out of the fire to increase their risk exposure.

Now that some overheated stocks have cooled after months of soaring prices, the only thing we need to worry about is our own risk, not a race against a short-term bull market. If you have to force yourself to trade, the most opportunity that Sister Hua sees is the short speculation within the day, taking advantage of the excessive greed and spoiled mood of market traders (no longer satisfied with just making a profit. (but overnight wealth freedom) cautious participation and intervention. Most of the traders in the market have now experienced the "to da moon" of SPAC, and there are also lottery prices ranging from a few cents to $5 to $10 in a few days or weeks, all of which seem good, but once the core players in the market officially withdraw their money to create a panic correction, these traders will be on the verge of bankruptcy and their profits over the past few weeks will be torched. Therefore, in order to deal with the potential downward correction in the future, and to prevent the call options in hand from suddenly shrinking in the profit state, it is necessary to stop winning in time to reduce exposure risk or at least adopt some protective measures.
