From the very beginning, we considered the pullback from the January 26 high to be a temporary correction (wave 4 according to Elliott Wave Theory), not the beginning of a new bear market.
The chart below describes the concept of Elliott Wave Theory in simple terms. Here is how the Profit Radar...
Last month, 10-year yield above 3% was all the rage. Since then it has dropped more than 8%. The April 25 Profit Radar Report commented as follows on 10-year yields:
“The topic of 3%+ 10-year Treasury yields has captivated the media, and the media writes what retail investors are interested in. For example:
