Bearish September Gives Way to Big Moves in Both Directions
As we delve into the happenings of October 2023, the markets presented a dynamic landscape, offering both challenges and opportunities. Let's unpack the key movements in the S&P500 and Nasdaq for the month.
Early Month Retracement: Clearing Imbalances
In the initial days of October, we observed a fascinating phenomenon. Both the S&P500 and Nasdaq retraced upwards, strategically addressing imbalances in price. This retracement acted as a clearing mechanism, providing the market with an opportunity to resolve any lingering imbalances before the next significant move.
Continued Downward Momentum: Breaking October Lows
As the month progressed, we witnessed a continuation of the downward momentum, particularly notable around the 5th of October. Price engineered lows strategically placed earlier in the month were targeted and systematically taken out. This orchestrated move speaks to the precision and intentionality of market participants in shaping the price action.
