A few months back I shared big picture and mentioned key points to watch out for a Bear market signal. A lot has happened since then, but I still haven’t opened OPValue Portfolio (new).

Preserve capital and that may provide plenty of opportunity in future.
If the earlier lows can hold, it may be an opportunity to get in via double bottom (though I am suspecious of a bottom so early) and if it is penetrated, then we are probably looking for much lower levels, as I mentioned above.

Trade carefully, Trade Profitably, OP
