$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $S&P 500(.SPX)$ March was an extremely challenging month for the broader market.

Companies closely tied to major indices took the hardest hits.

But not all suffered.

Remember, the market always reverts to the mean, and that mean is constantly shifting.

Right now, we are seeing clear rotation into healthcare, utilities, energy, and gold or silver. πŸ”„

I get asked this all the time, β€œIf the market corrects, will every position decline?”

No, and that is one of the most common misconceptions in trading. ❌

Think of the market like a giant set of weighing scales. βš–οΈ

Money rotates, sectors shift, and the balance adjusts. Historically, April sees a bounce, but it doesn’t last long. Recession signals hit late April to early May, with a drop extending through to October. I’ll sell into April's strength and go short into May.

There are always winners and losers, and your job is to stay on the right side of the scale βš–οΈβœ…

Stay sharp, stay informed, and stay profitable. πŸ§ πŸ’Ό

Happy positioning and trading ahead.

Cheers, BC πŸ“ˆπŸ€πŸ€πŸ€

Second-Best Month Fails? What's Your April Trade Plan?
History shows that, since 1971, April has been the second-best month of the year for the three major U.S. stock indexes, according to the Stock Trader’s Almanac. In postelection years since 1950, April has remained a top-performing month β€” historically ranking as the second-best month for the Dow and the S&P 500, and the third-best month for the Nasdaq (see chart below). However, Trump's tougher-than-expected tariffs drag the market down. ---------------- Is the April effect still possible or not? What's your trade strategy for April?
