Brett Steenbarger over at Trader Feed wrote an interesting post about What Happens After A Strong Stock Market Rise?. His blog post stated that:

“80% of the time, the market has been higher over a three-week horizon. As a rule, a market that lifts off with great strength tends to follow through in the same direction before undergoing a meaningful retracement.”

What this means is “your trend is your friend” go long, use stops wisely and you’ll trade profitably.
