6 Clear Signals When The Bear Market Is Over

These subtle signals helped me identify the 2020 and 2022 bottom

We have been talking about a stock market collapse for over 2 years; a market melt-down. A melt down comes after a stock market melt up…rapidly rising asset prices with low volume in poor economic conditions. Now whether we have officially entered-into the melt down…or there is still a blow off top to be seen… we will not know until in hindsight. However, there are a few things we can confirm.

• The power of hindsight allows us to confirm, the melt up did occur.

• Only 1 of 2 events can come after a melt up:

  • Blow off top: A massive retail liquidity trap

  • A melt down…whether now or after the blow off top.

Let me be crystal clear, as I have tried to do in my video posts as well: EVEN IF A BLOW OFF TOP WERE TO HAPPEN, IT IS A TRAP AND IS NOT SOMETHING TO INVEST INTO. Sorry, it is unbelievable how many watch10 seconds of a video and skip the most important parts. Regardless…a blow off top could still happen; however the probabilities look lower as of late. I am not trying to time a potential blow off top and am ~98% cash right now. And will remain so, aside from smaller short term trades, when and if they appear.

Whatever happens to the stock market in the short term, this piece is written for the long-term investors who are seeking “when” to buy back in. We do not “buy the dip” or “dollar cost average”.

There are no magical chart indicators…nor are we trying to time a bottom…here are 6 major clues the bottom is in…
