The Historical Ebb and Flow of the Market

May Historical Biases

  • Upside bias first half of May.

  • Downside bias in 2nd half of May.

  • Mid to late May can often be filled with swing trade entries that last into the summer time.

May Historical Briefing

Earnings season. Typically, a 50/50 month. The 1st half of the month, stocks typically rise as we finish up earnings. The 2nd half of the month expect heavy profit taking.

Transitional Seasonal Briefing (May 1 - October 1)

Summertime Zone: In this zone, movements can become shallow in either direction. Trade-able movements may become less frequent and we often see swing trades end closer to the 1-week mark than “good swing trades” of 1-3 weeks. There can be periods of flat during this period where no obvious trades are available.

Happy Trading,
