The market acted like it might trade lower, but in the end, it went perpetually higher.
This is important because throughout last week, we saw afternoon fades, that started right after lunch time and last until the closing bell. This made it very difficult to put a lot of trust in the market and where it ultimately wanted to go. I’ve booked profits today in Roku (ROKU) – one of my swing-trades that I held onto from last week for a nice +13.1% profit. A very solid trade that I was very happy about in the Swing-Trading Splash Zone.
