That's not what I was trying to say. I am also amazed as well as scared
at how much this market has run higher. I was just saying that many
traders position themselves against the market with reasoning based on
emotion rather than facts or technical data. The market should be
traded with the same techniques and strategies that you would use in any
moving market. If you check, almost every major sell off fit into
Fibonacci parameters perfectly.
