📉 Market Turbulence: When the Market is Throwing Sideways
Market turbulence is a period of heightened and unstable volatility, when the prices of an asset change dramatically and unpredictably. This market condition is often exacerbated by a combination of factors:
• Macroeconomic events (rate changes, inflation data, GDP).
• Geopolitical risks (wars, sanctions, political instability).
• Investor behavior (panic or hype).
• Algorithmic trading, which amplifies the momentum of price movements.
📊 What this means for traders and investors:
1. Risks are rising - stop-losses can be triggered faster than expected.
2. Opportunity is also - large fluctuations = potential for high profits.
3. Discipline is key - a trading plan is more important than any emotion.
💡 Tip: During periods of turbulence, it is worth reducing the size of positions, diversifying the portfolio, and always having a clear exit plan.
