Markets that gap up at the open are often bull traps — especially when there aren’t any catalysts coming to push things higher. What’s a bull trap? It’s a false signal that can and will reverse course, usually right after over-eager bulls go long. Here’s an example of this in the S&P 500 on Tuesday of this week. Note the BIG red candle coming right after the opening pop… [] Smart traders give the market time to show its hand during the first 30 minutes or so after the open. That first 30 minutes is also a great time to unload your longs on the morning pop — but again, it’s not a good time to buy anything in the event the gap up is just a bull trap. We need a strong directional bias in order to put on high-probability trades, so keep that in mind next time you’re feeling the FOMO after a monster gap up or down on the open! In addition to trades, I give a ton of insightful trading tidbits like this in [my active day and swing Trading Pit.]( And while I will never promise future gains or against losses, we just topped the 100-win mark* this week in under three months!
