Rate Of ReturnUS stocks rebounded, don't chase the rally! Buy the dip!
Let's recap the past few days. On Thursday, the Fed released interest rate cut news, which directly reversed the pre-market decline of U.S. stocks, leading to a sustained intraday rally with significant gains. On Friday, U.S. stocks continued to rise due to momentum. As soon as the expectations of rate cuts and Trump's tariff easing emerged, market sentiment quickly reversed. Many investors felt opportunities were coming, but years of trading experience tell me—never chase the rally at times like this.
For the upcoming Monday, opening new positions under such U.S. stock trends is highly risky, especially for those who missed the Friday rally—don’t chase highs on Monday. Avoid getting burned. For those holding positions, consider trimming during Monday’s rally, especially for stocks that have already delivered solid gains—lock in profits.
U.S. stocks are now highly sensitive to news-driven stimuli, with fast volatility and higher trading difficulty. Shelly’s advice is: no matter how the market moves, strictly follow the ‘buy low, sell high’ logic.
Recent sessions have offered many dip-buying opportunities. Strong stocks like PLTR, TEM, and HOOD are worth considering after pullbacks—but only if bought above support levels. Otherwise, a slight break below support can be painful. For example, Shelly’s long-held PLTR has solid support around 104, making it a relatively safe bet.
As for Hong Kong stocks, they’re largely following U.S. stocks but with weaker capital sentiment and weaker rebounds. Though they bounced slightly on Friday alongside U.S. stocks, again—don’t chase highs. Holders can use rebounds to trim positions and wait for dips to reload.
Stocks like GOOG, which posted better-than-expected Q1 earnings, can be added to watchlists. Short-term capital favors such themes, especially companies hitting all-time highs—if earnings remain strong, short-term rallies are still possible.
In summary, the current market environment is all about one word: speed. News-driven impacts are massive—just one piece of good or bad news can trigger rapid market reactions. In such conditions, not chasing highs is the bottom line. If dip-buying levels are well-chosen, risks are manageable. Strong stocks like PLTR, TEM, and HOOD are increasingly offering pullback opportunities—keep an eye on them. Never get greedy in trading—take profits when targets are hit. Opportunities will always return, but getting stuck with losing positions makes recovery tough.
Lastly, a reminder: next week’s U.S. stock market remains highly uncertain due to news risks. Don’t be too aggressive—scale back and wait for opportunities. The market always rewards patience—waiting for the right dip-buying chances is the real king’s move. $NASDAQ Composite Index(.IXIC.US) $SPDR S&P 500(SPY.US) $Dow Jones Industrial Average(.DJI.US) $Alphabet - C(GOOG.US) $FI CSOP BTC(07376.HK) $Hang Seng Index(00HSI.HK) $Hang Seng TECH Index(STECH.HK)
