No evidence of a bear. Every correction of 1%, we have to hear how the top is in. Tops don’t look like this. Plenty of is have no problems going short, but there has to be a reason beyond fear. 2016 was the last bear. That was a blink ago
Does not have to be a top but can be a short term bear trend to take shorts. I assume this journal is not just long-term swing trading so you trade what the chart gives you for the day.
