It's a fact that most summers, price action gets relatively choppy and doesn't often trend in a strong direction. We saw it in 2023 and 2024 this cycle. If there are any signs that we'd go through something similar again in 2025 where we're just following up big moves with full retraces every few weeks or so, my goal will be to try and do as little as possible. These periods can be good to rebalance long term exposure and do some shorter term trades. But positioning for swing trades and roundtripping your "bottom" or "top" entries is generally quite wasteful of your time, energy and money. Just writing this for future reference and to remind others that the Summer is generally pretty slow as there's simply less volume, liquidity and market participants. The same counts for stocks.
