SPX We’re entering the time of year where trading volume starts to fade. In recent years, Memorial Day weekend has marked the unofficial start of summer, and shortly after, Wall Street tends to slow down — unless a major catalyst shakes things up.
This quiet stretch is often called “the doldrums” — marked by weak volume and dull price action. For traders trying to sell, it can mean thin liquidity and difficulty getting good exits.
That’s also why many summer rallies are short-lived and often followed by pullbacks or corrections.
Stay sharp ⚠️ and manage risk carefully as we move into the summer slowdown. I sold my XRPUSD position due to this.
SPX Investors positioned in the right stocks woke up to see their portfolios swimming in a sea of green today. The reason: after months of uncertainty related to Trump’s tariffs plan, China and the US finally announced a major breakthrough in negotiations As the Nasdaq 100 jumps 4.16% and the S&P 500 gains a hefty 3.19% in premarket trading, those already positioned in high-momentum, fundamentally sound stocks are reaping substantial returns, while those trying to time the market are now finding themselves significantly behind the curve.
