Yesterday is the second triple digit loss in Feb and I am paying close attention to it. You can already sense a bit of tension in the market. This did not appear in January at all. As Dow approach 14198 historical high, tension is up a notch. A second indicator I would use to gauge the psychology of the market is a triple day fall. A triple day fall is a sign that market psychology has wavered. Just be careful a bit. Ever since the start of the year, there has not been a triple day drop yet in Dow, which signifies a great bullish run.
Do remember that understanding the market psychology is important in trading. Stock selection isn't the most important. Do take note that entering position now has to be a hit and run. Short term trading is preferred to long term. Money management should be tighter. Diversify some of your portfolio to defensive stocks may be a wise move.
Having said that , I do not think the market will tumble fast yet. It might remain sideways still for Feb. My concern is first week of March with the employment reports and manufacturing reports coming.
