Get StartedLooking back through the lead index trend for the year, it will be noticed that from the 1st of February, the market had suffered heavy downtrend that dragged its trading points down from 42,357.90 to 38,382.40 in March 19th and between that time and the end of May, it had recorded a failed recovery from the heavy drop, because it started recording new a lower lows from 20th May. Although the market had commenced the month of June on a positive note giving a renewed recovery hopes, the momentum seem to be dying off after few day’s gain. Please understand that, if the bear successfully dragged the market back before reaching 39,500 point such as we have seen today, it is an indication that the downtrend will continue. Technically, in a downtrend such as we have in the market today, the best trading strategy is to target very low returns from every position. Traders are to target dropping equities with good fundamentals for short term trade. Meanwhile, investors should rather focus on the strength of the equities in their basket and take advantage of dropping prices to reduce portfolio’s short falls.
