What must occur is there must be proof of the start of an upward development within the inventory market. Or put one other means, the SPDR S&P 500 exchange-traded fund ought to have an upward trajectory.
But how will we all know when it’s doing that.
“That’s where trend analysis and sector rotation come into play,” Parets says.
