The Russell 2000 rose higher today. The volatility spread has been bullish since 9 January and remains bullish today. The toppy look of the study is not a signal, just a caution flag. The MACD study turned bullish today.
Financial markets are predictable because segments of price action fit together in a limited number of patterns that are not random. Markets are unpredictable too because there is enough variability in the patterns to hide the trend at some stages of development. I am fascinated by the market and spend a lot of time working to identify price trends so I can exploit them for profit.
