Doubt about index correlation

Discussion in 'Technical Analysis' started by Dinosaur_Supervisor, Apr 1, 2016.

  1. Let's say I have stock that is highly correlated to the market index, for whatever reason.

    The stock is in a uptrend and is forming a continuation pattern, a flag, for example.

    The index, on the other hand, is at a strong resistance level and is not showing strength.

    How do you approach this situation?

    Pairs trade. But you would be betting that they will not be correlated for a time period.
