How Not to be Average (Plus Fascinating Price Action Data)

Published February 17, 2023

Hey, Ross here:

It’s the last trading day of the week. And while markets did take a rather sharp dip yesterday, take a look at the below chart.

Chart of the Day

This is the chart of the S&P 500 in 2023. And as you can see, starting January 20, it has always closed over its 200-day moving average (the red line).

This is even when accounting for yesterday’s decline and the pullbacks over the past couple weeks. That’s 19 sessions of it closing above the 200-day moving average.

And an analysis has shown that, since 1950, after a more than 20% decline (aka a bear market), the S&P 500 has NEVER made a new low following more than 18 consecutive closes above the 200-day moving average.

Does this mean the S&P 500 is guaranteed to not make a new low this time? Of course not, there’s no such thing as guarantees in this game. But before we succumb to all the doom and gloom, it’s worth looking at what the price action is telling us.

P.S. If you want special trade prospects and potential market moves sent directly to your phone from me – just text the word ross to 74121.

Insight of the Day

Always remember that the indexes only represent averages.

Everyone looks to the indexes to gauge the overall direction of the market. But regardless of which direction they’re moving in, it’s critical to remember that the indexes only represent averages.

If you’re reading this, chances are you’re not some passive investor who just blindly dumps money into index funds every month. You’re a trader who’s not content to simply accept the market’s average returns.

That’s why the most important thing to pay attention to is what the price action in individual stocks is telling you. Because ultimately, that’s how you’re going to beat the market.

And right now, the price action is telling me that there’s still plenty of opportunities out there right now.
I spotlight those opportunities every week on this very newsletter. But if you want to get access to the fattest, juiciest opportunities that I’m seeing – make sure you look at this.

Embrace the surge,

Even Bill Gates himself has said that generative AI has “peaked” and that the next version of ChatGPT won’t be much better than the current version.

So where will the next wave of AI innovation – and profits – come from?

I'm a new member of 'Insider Effect' and sent a support email and was responded to within minutes. It starts very well.

I'm happy I recently opted in to the Ross Givens's Trading Club at Traders Agency (at the best and fairest offer I could possibly get). I'm new to trading U.S. stocks and options on a regular basis but it doesn't matter, Ross does all of the hard work for me while I'm trading at my own pace (he knows how to trade successfully most of the time and I know that I won't win every trade. Fair enough). He and his great team share a lot of their trading experience in live sessions. Great job. Thanks a lot!

I started with Ross Givens and Trader's Agency GOLD in September of this year and have had some significant success on all but one of the trades he suggested. I have actually made 157% in profits over what I paid to join Traders Agency within my first 30 days. I am no stock expert and I want to know more about how to invest in the market. Ross's videos and strategy sessions are very insightful, and you can chat during the sessions to get his feedback. He's got all the tools at his disposal and has set up some good algorithms in order to help one understand the chaos and fundamentals to watch for in order to make a good investing decision. I have had other investment "helpers" that never yielded what I have within such a limited amount of time. I think Ross, and his team, is the "Real Deal"
