It’s the traders behaviour that drives the stock Market. In Bull market – they look for buying Opportunity and in Bear market – they look for Selling Opportunity.
In Bull market, the best Opportunity comes – When things are down and Out. That’s why traders love Bad News because it gives them Opportunity to Buy. Here’s S&P500 chart and see for yourself how every bad news like Brexit (June 2016); Trump Victory (Nov 2016); Trump Legislative confusion (April 2017) and North Korea Tension (August 2017) turned out to be excellent buying Opportunity.
