NinjaLady : What are the underlying factors for a rate cut to cause the markets to respond positively and drive the market up or negatively and drive the markets down? And where are those factors today?

NinjaLady Kopimoney : I’m not an expert (yet) but this is what I have learned…
Same in shorting the Nasdaq back in 2021 while it was climbing. Everyone was saying it was going to crash. I didn’t understand interest rates by the Federal Reserve and their impact on the markets, put and call walls, momentum, cycles and technical studies. Also learned how much the $DXY (Dollar) influenced SPY and the general inverse relationship.
Today these are what I look at. Moomoo is new for me (1 month) and I have not learned how to create all the charts and indicators in the platform.
If you are able, learn the concepts I mentioned and look into technical indicators such as MACD, volatility, volume, cycle trends, Heiken Ashi charting, and RSI indicators. These will help you understand the markets better. It’s a journey to learn and the goal of small wins using only 10% of your portfolio will give you more confidence and still protect your assets. It’s better to make $5 a day and grow slowly while you learn than lose $100 all at once or over and over.
Initially your intention is to get the best entry and exit consistently from one day to the next and be ok leaving money on the table. if you’re not American or familiar with the saying, it’s an expression that means better to for sure make some profit than risk losing all for total profit. It’s ok to profit a little even if the market could keep going higher (or lower).
It’s not the glamorous portrayal given by influencers who may or may not be honest. But it is a higher probability for you to become an expert and win more often in the markets.
Best of luck to you and your success.
